How to extract images from ROM? I tried TileEd but the images are messed up pixels...

Did you make sure to 1. use a tile editor that supports GBA format and 2. only hack a GBA program that doesn't compress its images?

If you're trying to hack a commercial ROM, then ROM hacking resources might be more useful to you to start with. Most of the discussion on gbadev.org concerns programs that are developed from scratch.

Lol - good luck. 99% of comerical games are going to use some sort of compression on graphics.
