A fast and clever open source HEX editor for Mac OS X. Software Alternatives,Reviews and Comparisions. Submit Software; Hex Fiend. Hack is an hex editor. An hex editor allows you to edit files or binary data as they are stored by the computer. Hack's main window. Hack's main window. The picture above shows Hack's main window. It is an MDI application, meaning that the main window may contains many child windows. There are several window types: File window; View windows (Hex, ASCII and Asm). For general SNES graphics, YY-CHR is a popular editor. For hex editing, HxD is a good all purpose editor and Windhex has table support (to edit text). As for recommended editor for a regular hack (with no data expansion), we recommend FF3usME for any general data, character sprite, animation data menu backgrounds and BRR samples. Using this freeware hex editor you'll be able to edit extremely large files/dumps of raw data and try advanced functions: search/replace data incl. RegExp, disk editor, computer memory editor, checksum/hash calculations, logical bitwise/arithmetic data operations, file structure viewer with binary templates, modifying Intel HEX, Motorola S-records, compare files with binary diff, hex diff, text diff.

You’ve probably seen a few of these miniature arcade games online or in big box retailers: for $20 USD or so you get scaled-down version of a classic arcade cabinet, perfect for a desk toy or to throw up on a shelf as part of your gaming collection. Like any good Hackaday reader, you were probably curious about what makes them tick. Thanks to [wrongbaud], we don’t have to wonder anymore.

Over the course of several blog posts, [wrongbaud] walks readers through the hardware and software used in a few of these miniature games. For example, the Rampage cabinet is using a so-called “NES on a Chip” along with a SPI flash chip to hold the ROM, while Mortal Kombat is using a Genesis emulation solution and parallel flash. It wouldn’t be interesting if they didn’t throw you a few curves now and again, right?

But these are more than simple teardowns. Once [wrongbaud] gives an overview of the hardware, the next step is reading the respective flash storage and trying to make sense of the dumped data. These sort of games generally reuse the hardware among a number of titles, so by isolating where the game ROM is and replacing it, they can be made to play other games without hardware modification. Here, this capability is demonstrated by replacing the ROM data for Rampage with Yoshi’s Cookie. Naturally it’s one of those things that’s easier said than done, but it’s an interesting proof of concept.

The Mortal Kombat cabinet is a newer addition to the collection, so [wrongbaud] hasn’t progressed quite as far with that one. The parallel flash chip has been dumped with the help of an ESP32 and a MCP23017 I/O expander, and some Genesis ROM headers are identifiable in the data, but there’s still some sifting to be done before the firmware structure can be fully understood.

Even if you’re not in the market for a diminutive arcade experience, the information that [wrongbaud] has collected here is really phenomenal. From understanding protocols such as I2C and SPI to navigating firmware dumps with a hex editor, these posts are an invaluable resource for anyone looking to get started with reverse engineering.
