Actually as far as I know this was never defined. So I'd say no - do not attach ROMs to PMs here, otherwise they are embedded into the forum files and
Qyzbud would have to delete them. If you simply must do such things, keep it off of this site.

You hit the nail on the head, Scraps. Actually I'm very eager to work on NitroGUI (the interface for DKCRE and DKCLB) but I have not had time. All this hacking has me extra-motivated to get back into development!

Maybe when Kong-Fu finishes his level and before the youtube video we can already add that to the game? EDIT: although, after implementing that, we are still able to create levels right?
This, I'm afraid, is still an issue.
It is still a draft image because, unlike a normal image:-There are only 128 colors guaranteed for the pallet.
-The colors themeselves are only 15-bits.
-The image is made up of several 8x8 tiles, many of which are duplicated in the original Title Screen to save space.
-
Each 8x8 tile
must use a group of
only 16 colors from the available pallet (EG. the first 16 colors, or second 16 colors, etc.).
These image storage guidelines will make it rather difficult to come up with a way to fit that image into the ROM, and still have it readable by the game. Of course, I know of a particular offset in ROM which is probably around
0x3EF900 (near the end of the ROM data) which has some free space we could use.
This was space I used when making the
Zero-Speed Patch and using it would effectively make my patch incompatible with your hack, since mine relies on there being extra space at that adress for the insertion of a few custom ASM routines.
But yes, you can still add levels after putting in the Title Screen, as they have nothing to do with each other.
...that is, once we find a way to get it into the game in the first place.

Likewise. Just a few more weeks and I should have more time to do stuff, but right now I'm swamped with final assignments and studying for my exams.
