Hacking Help with wad injection

[oneleggedjack]

Hello,
I am trying to make a custom VC Channel
I tried patching this hack...

Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile
http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/362/

and here are the files
CTPG Headered.ips - 336kb
CTPG Unheadered.ips - 336kb

And i tried patching it to this rom, with Lunar IPS
Chrono Trigger (U) [!].smc - 4.00 MB (4,194,816 bytes)

and the rom+hack allways ends up being 6MB in size, which is too big for this .wad

dkc2.wad - 21.1 MB (22,133,824 bytes)
and this wad
ChronoTriggerV2.wad - 16.8 MB (17,679,872 bytes)

both would not work, it said the rom was too big
is there a way to compress the rom so it would fit?
or is there a larger .wad it would work in?
Is it the Lunar IPS thats making it so big?
please help me out, i'm using Auto Injectuwad Injector v3
and i cannot seem to get it to work

oh your not restricted to only using a SNES wad?
you can use a n64 wad for a snes rom?
I will try this, but that compressor is for N64 i believe.

I want to learn how to make a VC banner, save icon and manual,
and i want this hack to be my 1st.

I've tried compressing the .SMC rom to .JMA and it shrunk down to 2MB but right when i patch it, it jumps to 6MB and i cant compress it patched so what do I do?

please, i know someone must of gone through this headace already

is there another SNES VC wad that it will fit into?
or is there a way to force it into the wad?

hey again,
thx for the links, I got the rom hack in the CT wad. the unheadered rom doesn't work at all, but i can get the headered one to work partially, and by partially I mean it shows the intro then it goes black. (sound still works though) I know it can work, I'm just having a problem at the moment. Has anyone tried putting a Hack into a VC game before? If so could someone help me out with this? I think I'll just work on the icons and the manual for now. If anyone knows or thinks of something that is worth a try please say something because I am fresh out of idea's at the moment. thanks
