I can't do anything. I can make everything just fine... Everything is all clear.... And then I try to save it. I figured "save to ROM" would put the level in the game for me... so I press it, click OK, and I go and play it... but it's just the normal level. I try to load it, open it, do whatever I can do play it, but It's just not there.

@Jvizzlezz The only two things I can think of is that either you are saving it wrong, or you are opening the wrong file. When you are in the Level Editor (not Overworld or any other) it's File->Save Level to ROM.

Also make sure that your emulator is opening the right file (and that you are in the right folder. This is easier if the ROM you are editing has a unique name, so it's not just called Super Mario World.)

If it still doesn't work, send me a PM.

@dragemis I discovered shortly after I made that comment that the only way for me to play it is to open the emulator under the File tab in Lunar Magic (File, Emulator, Run ROM in Emulator). I still find the controls very awkward on my PC, because I beat SMW with my GBA, and I became so amazing at it... I get the ROM for my PC and I can barely beat level one >_>. If there is any way I could hook up my GBA to my computer, or simply put levels onto my GBA, please let me know. Thank you.

@Jvizzlezz

I've never about hooking a GBA up to a computer, but there might be a way, you'll have to look into that yourself though.

Lunar Magic is unfortunately only compatible with SNES ROMs, so you couldn't use it to modify a GBA ROM even if you wanted to. Also; even if you managed to put Lunar Magic levels on your GBA, you wouldn't be able to play them without running some kind of SNES emulation, unfortunately.

Thanks for watching, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

how must i save the level???? its my first time

[dragemis]

@SMWfreak72 File -> Save Level to ROM

Make sure you have a back up of your clean, unedited SMW-ROM so that you don't overwrite your only unedited ROM.
