Inky Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Is there a utility to hack the graphics on arcade games? If so, I have a couple ideas I'd love to give a try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Yes...with a catch. Yes, because Rasty put a utility called RomHack up on his site long ago. This can open up any type of file and display it as graphics and/or program data. Grab it here: http://www.rasty.com/me.htm The catch is that a good share of arcade roms run self-tests looking for altered or bad data (or what it assumes to be bad data). On top of that, the emulator itself will also be looking for a bad checksum. So you would need to bypass the game's self-test, and disable the emulator's nag (if possible).

Nukey Shay Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Better solution... There is an editor called Age that you can download at Zophar's utilities: http://www.zophar.net/utilities/mameutil.html Once changes are made, I suppose you could use the RomDoctor to fix it up... and get the correct checksum etc. There's an older one as well...but I can't remember what the name of it was (it was used to make those "neon" hacks). EDIT: Duh...it was Turaco: http://www.csh.rit.edu/~jerry/turaco/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
