Where should I start when it comes to ROM hacking?

[BodaciousBard]

I'm completely new to ROM hacking. What advice do you have to offer up to a newbie like me?

Start small and get the basics down pat.

The Resources subforum is a good place to find tools and tutorials.

Sorry for responding so late, I was busy last night. I have forgotten to change the title of the topic to more clearly fit what I was asking ( I tend to proofread/retype what I write on here to more closely fit what I want to ask) I had meant to ask about beginner mistakes I should avoid as well as any cool tips that you may know of. I apologize if the title is misleading.

Two small things to make your life easier:

1.) Back-up your file often. Want to add a new animation? Great! Back-up your file before doing so. You never know when something unexpected might happen.

2.) Only do one thing at a time. Make sure it works before moving on to the next thing. This makes it so much easier to troubleshoot.
