Tools to convert bitmaps to NCGR, NCLR and NSCR

Paper Hi! I have only just recently discovered the ability to modify NDS ROMs (less than a week ago) and have since been busy compiling my own, by adding all custom tracks I could find on the Internet. Replacing the actual tracks and sound_data.sdat were easy, but after looking into adding minimaps, things became a little complicated. Although I know that Tinke and MKDSCM can convert the NCGR, NCLR and NSCR files into a bitmap, I'm having trouble reversing this process. Any recommendations on tools which can achieve this would be greatly appreciated!

Miles Ermiiworth Hey there, welcome! You can use MKDSCM to convert images to NCGR, NCLR and NSCR too. For local maps, I use MKDSCM.



For global maps I use MKToolbox, since it makes them automatically.

I used CrystalTile for some Global maps on EKDS, but I'd not recommend it for Local Maps
