Hi,
I've been having a problem that I'm not sure how to fix. I've made 4 sprites 16x16. The first sprite displays perfectly but none of the ones afterwards do. What I was wondering is what is the best graphics file size:
ie 64x64, 16x128, etc
Thanks for any help

Your question is a little vague. The best size to do what? What happen with the others sprites?

Have you checked that the OAM Entry for sprites is pointing to the right tiles of the sprites?

What I'm getting at is right now I have to have my sprites as 16x16 bytes before it is converted to GBA. What I want to know is if there is a way to combine the sprites in one bmp and then process all of the sprites, turning them to GBA. I hope this helps.
Thank you.

If you're using 2D mapping mode, place all your sprite cels on a 128-byte-wide bitmap and convert them all at once. (For 16-color sprite cels, this is 256 pixels wide; for 256-color sprite cels, this is 128 pixels wide.)
If you're using 1D mapping mode, place all your sprite cels top-to-bottom in a single bitmap and convert them all at once. Thus, if you have 20 cels of 16x16 pixels, make a 16x320 pixel bitmap.

That is exactly what I was looking for. I'd tried so many different file type I was pulling out my hair! :) I tried them in a column but when I looked at my graphic size i was 1column short on my sprites. I've been able to fix things ip. Thankyou.
