 Removing section of a ROM I have a prototype of Final Fantasy III, however the dumper included 1 MB of garbage at the end of the ROM. I was wondering if there was a program that would remove the final 1 MB. I have ghex, but it only allows you to delete one memory address at a time, which is brutal. I don't want to distribute this ROM with this garbage in it.

Re: Removing section of a ROM Any decent hex editor should be able to do that...

Re: Removing section of a ROM And yet, I have tried a couple of fully featured hex editors that did not. I am not going to download two dozen Windows/DOS only hex editors looking for one feature.

Re: Removing section of a ROM In WinHex I'd just...
- select the last byte of ROM and set a "end of block" marker
- use the "goto" function to jump 1024*1024 bytes backwards
- set the "start of block" marker
- press Del
- save
Unfortunately only a paid/cracked version of WinHex can save more than a few hundred KBs, but any hex editor worth its usage should have these features.

Re: Removing section of a ROM a more round about way: use a splitter with say 512K chunks...

Re: Removing section of a ROM There's always ftruncate (*nix) or _chsize/SetEndOfFile, (Windows) if you feel like programming your own solution in C/C++.

Re: Removing section of a ROM Um, I already got it fixed up. In fact, I already released the ROM: http://www.snescentral.com/article.php?id=0954

Re: Removing section of a ROM He was on Linux anyway, but for future reference, my favorite is bless; but I hate the shit out of the .NET dependency. Planning to make my own eventually with Qt, but it'd be a lot more limited. More of a viewer that can edit than an actual editor.

Re: Removing section of a ROM What's wrong with using plain old "dd" ?
