Welcome to Porytiles! Hopefully, this wiki and the accompanying video tutorial series can answer any questions you may have about Porytiles. If you have further inquiries, you can find me as grunt-lucas on the pret and RH Hideout Discord servers.

Before using Porytiles, I always recommend that hackers familiarize themselves with the tile insertion process. If you understand the process Porytiles is automating, you'll have a much easier time troubleshooting when things don't work. This PokéCommunity tutorial is a classic -- I recommend that you read it, understand it, and try manually inserting a very basic tileset using the techniques described therein.
