Copied from Darkchaos original thread on the main fourms.
So you are probally over here to find out how to change a hardcoded graphic in Super Mario Brothers X. Well another user from another fourm named Darkchao made a tutorial of how to do it! So if you want to know more click the spoiler.
Step #1: First create a new folder anywhere, then download the Extractor Tool ( on the bottom of the screen ) from sendspace and then when download click the extractor exe.
Step #2: When the extractor exe. opens press the first select button and open your hackable exe. with it ( Make a backup first) after that make a folder were the graphics can be exported. If you did press the second select button for the folder. After that go to formats and disable TXT. after that press the start button.
Step #3: Now a weird window will pop up and will have all of the Hardcoded graphics in the game. when you get to that window on the bottom left corner of the screen you will see a small + button. Click it to enable all of the graphics. And then when you are done with that press the extract button. You now have all of the hardcoded graphics in that folder you created earlier. Now edit the ones you want ( you cannot change the splash screen useing this method because it is not a hardcoded graphic.) then after you edited one go back to the window where you extracted the graphics.
Final Step: Now back on the window you press on one of the graphics you want to replace. If you pressed one of them it should turn blue. If its so press the functions button on the bottom left cornor of the screen and click it. Then you use the import file. After that close the tool and open your Hacked SMBX EXE. The hard coded graphics you replaced should be edited now!
DOWNLOAD THE TOOL:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/o6btx5If the link is broken then send me a PM, I will replace it then with a fresh one
If the tool crashes at the starting, then right click and run as Administrator!
NOTE:
YOU CANT CHANGE THE SIZE OF A GRAPHIC!
ALSO ON THE TITLE SCREEN (LOADING SCREEN) OF THE SMBX EXE; YOU CANT ADD A LOT OF COLORS; SO MAKE IT LIKE THE ORIGINAL WITH JUST A COLORED TEXT AND MAYBE A PIC BUT NOT MORE!

Q&A
Size:
Q: If the file is shorter then the original one (byte size) is it still going to work?
A: Yes, it's going to work, but if the file is way too big, (byte size) then it won't work anymore.
Splash Screen:
Q: why can't we edit the splash screen?
A: Because the splash screen is not a hardcoded graphic. If you want to change the splash screen then check out the other threads.[/quote]
