| DOS4GW.EXE |
Multiple |
Many emulators require that this executable be in the same directory
to run. |
| Ez-O-Ray |
Playstation |
Game Shark users with a Pro Comms Link can use this replacement GS
BIOS to upload amateur demos and games to the PS. Easy to use for most
applications. |
Final Fantasy
Improvement |
NES |
Graphically edit the overworld map and towns of a Final Fantasy ROM
tile-by-tile. Easy to use. |
| Hexpose |
Multiple |
If you find or can make the appropriate reference file for a given ROM,
Hexpose will let you easily edit the game's text. A stable program. Also
includes a hex editor. |
Mario
Improvement |
NES |
Lets you edit worlds in a Super Mario Bros. ROM. Difficult to figure
out, though. |
| Massage |
Master
System |
A reasonably fast emulator; doesn't support every game yet though. |
| Naga |
SNES |
A sprite editor that handles multiple bitplanes. The interface
could be better but at least it's fast. |
| Nesticle |
NES |
The premiere emulator for NES (or any system, in fact). Supports Net
connections for two players in Win95, has a nice GUI, and includes several
hacking tools and a debugger right inside. |
| Nexedit |
NES |
A combination hexeditor and tile editor for NES. The graphics editor
to use if Nesticle won't work on a ROM. |
| SearchR |
Multiple |
Searches any file (ROM or otherwise) for a text string, even if it's
not stored as ASCII. A vital text-editing utility. This is the original,
which doesn't have the fancy interface of its sequel, but is much more
stable. |
| UCON |
Multiple |
A basic requirement for emulator and backup users. Splits and joins
Genesis and SNES ROMS in several formats, applies IPS patches, and more. |
| X-Late 1.0 |
Multiple |
Primitive and difficult to use but probably the best utility to use
for translating Japanese ROMs. Make sure to create a file called "XLATE"
(no extension) in the same directory or it won't run! X-Late 3.0 is
incomplete at this time, sadly. |
Zelda
Improvement |
NES |
The graphical interface lets you edit the overworld of a Legend of Zelda
ROM. Easy to figure out but difficult to use. |
