no. All the graphics in the VRAM have to be in raw uncompressed format, because the NDS graphics card takes it directly from there to the screen, and it doesnt know how to decompress... NSMB stores the graphics files inside the ROM compressed, but it uncompresses them before copying them to the VRAM.
Actually, I think i found the solution. Each BG can address max 1024 tiles (the tile number is 11 bits), but you can set a whole BG to have an "offset" to another place inside the VRAM, to differen tiles. So each BG individually can only have 1024 tiles, but overall you can have more tiles, as the VRAM is bigger than 1024 tiles.
So, the problem is solved.

minor glitch in the 5.1 editor. If I edit something in a level, and then hit the 'X' button (without hitting the save icon), the box that appears, and asks if I want to save unsaved changes is titled 'NSMB Editor 4', rather than 'NSMB Editor 5.1'. Like I said, minor thing.

All the 3d texture formats are editable!! (with the exception of a raw bitmap mode i've never seen being used in nsmb)
I am still having problems with alpha (see the bushes and flowers in the screenshot) but i will fix them soon, i hope!

The bad news is that the 3d models have some "hard-coded" colors. For example, the water. The water texture i just put is all RED, but the model tints it, to make it blue-ish in the distance, to simulate fog... The blue things on the background don't even have a texture, so they stay there blue.

Can you export a patch or send me the game (PM/e-mail me)? I'd like to test it on a flashcart to see if the results differ from an emulator.

Also; GREAT JOB!!!! =D

I've tested it on a flashcart. It looks only a bit different.

For all of those who want to test it, here's the file: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?huiagzlj4nw

I wanted to try the DS version of the level editor, but it keeps saying that the checkout fails every time.

Is there another URL I can checkout from?

Thanks in advance!

It's not doing anything anymore, even when I try to checkout from the URL you posted. It just sits there, and if it does anything at all, it will say the checkout failed, or timed out.

what svn program are you using? Tortoise Svn worked well for me. Went kinda slow cause my internet was crap at the time, but I walked away, came back, and it was done.

Please provide more details...

Do you mean editing a tileset other than 67 you get the whole rom corrupted? or just the tileset?
All tilesets from the game are editable. I havent had any corruption yet...

I had no problem creating custom graphic using tthe following tile set 67: Bonus Room (usused), however if I started using any other eg. 64 Beach yellow. If I created a tile that was 1x1 and used it across the screen it would look like this....

nnndnccndcndnn

n = normal - that how the tile suppose to be
c = corrupt - it took a garage tile from somewhere and put in my level
d = different - it took a different tile from the set even though it wasn't selected

I should note that I'm using an old version when adding in tiles... version 5.0 The reason I can't use 5.1 is i'm getting the following error message when using Windows XP or Windows 7 when I try to import my custom tileset.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

It would be nice if the sprites were sorted out into categories like in Reggie
