I usually have multiple ASH folders at any given time.
Anyway... try copying out the folders / any edited working... unpacking ness again... replacing only your edited stuff... and retrying. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
Nope, not really a way with ASH alone. And... pretty much every texture out there abides by the limitations.
But... if you manually make the tcs file for the texture, changing it into another image type... and then inserting it via SSBBarc... you should be able to bypass the limitation.
Sorry but nope. I didn't really have any trouble when STASH came out so... I never had a need to make a mod for it. --- But since then I've upgraded to Windows 7 and haven't had that issue on it.
But it is kinda buggy (it was a patchwork job, I don't really know perl... or what the hell I was doing) so you may end up just having to do it manually. (Manual guide in FAQ / ssbbarc in place of manual hexing)
I'm glad the forums are back. However, I noticed that my previous username that used alt codes and Japanese symbols was badly messed up. Ah well, nothing too big. I'm just glad that the forums are back. ^^
Hm.. we did have some encoding issues with text. If you try it again, might work. (That or I'd have to set up unicode --- not hard to do... but I'd prefer to make sure this site stays running before I do any editing)
I'm not entirely sure, I've never actually edited Sonic.
Oh one thing... I think I've read somewhere that you might experience mipmapping issues if you edit his eyes. If you do, either follow the guide in the FAQ or I could help ya with it. (Unless Vile beats me to it)
It essentially reserves a portion of your harddrive (usually in ratio to your RAM, anywhere from .5x to 2x) for memory usage. But for a more technical explanation... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory
Umm... what are your computer's specs? It shouldn't take up THAT much memory to cause an error unless it is 1) a really old pc or 2) something wrong with that file.
We are talking about step2 for ASH right? I could understand CUPASH giving this sort of problem, but not ASH.
