Did you expand the iso with Shishi before applying any patches?

Are you using Shishi .478 from the pack on the main page?

I use .img no problem. But if you didnt restructure your iso before applying a patch this can cause an issue.

What exactly is the error? can you post a screencap?

EDIT: Also.. just out of curiousity.. you did close CDMage before trying to open the .img in Shishi right??
Your .img needs to not already be in use when you try to open it in Shishi or FFTP

How do I expand with shishi it has so little options

All you do is open Shishi and then load the iso/bin/img and it will ask if you want to restructure. That's what i mean by expanding

and next time maybe just edit your lat post so you don't have like 3 in a few :P

Make sure you are using the Shishi from this pack:

it's a 7z file. You need either 7z or Winrar to unzip it :P

I just downloaded it and it works fine

Miluda uses a generic sprite with a EVTFACE, so there is no way to change her specifically, but you can put her over a different sprite if you choose to do so :P

Example could be change the pig sprite to Miluda on the site then make the game us the pig now Miluda sprite as her  in her battles is that about right and how hard is it to do ? I noticed in shishi there is a Lede sprite that says unused could I use that one ?

to do that you would need to change the Uribo sprite to Type 1 on SHP and SEQ then replace it with her sprite. (you would also need to make sure she has 3 palettes)

Then you would also need to edit all three palette versions of her in EVGRP since monsters have all 3, then finally you would need to go to the ENTD section of FFTP

and change all instances of Uribo to Miluda and make her human instead of monster.

That is, if I'm reading your question correctly :P

Yea you take a screeshot with print screen and also export the sprite, reason being is you will paste the screenshot in somehting like Graphics Gale, and you will cut and paste the sprite standing frame and the portrait from here.

As for the one you exported, you will use that to copy the palette to the image you exported from EVGRP  :mrgreen:
