Pogohg Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I have a bit of a problem with the Mystery of the Emblem (Monshou no Nazo, if you will) translation patch. I can't tell if the ROM I have just isn't a header or if my emulator just sucks (I'm using SNES9x). The ROM works fine when I don't patch it, but it won't work when I patch it. I know there are two versions of the game out there, and I've gotten them both and patched them with their respective patches, but it's the same result with both of them. I'm using Windows 10 and can't seem to find a version of SNESTool that works, so I have no idea of what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrman Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 SNESTool is a DOS application, and is not compatible with Win10. I believe the patches require headers. To check if there is a header, open the rom in a hex editor and the first 0x200 bytes or so should be zeros. To apply headers, you can download DOSBox and run SNESTool within DOSBox; drag SNESTool onto the DOSBox shortcut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's compatable with windows 10, and adds headers if they do not exist. FInd it here: http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/400/ FYI, NSRT makes it really easy to accidently add a header to everything in a folder by "scaning" the whole folder. Make sure to scan onlythe rom you want. Alternetevly, you can Add a header manualy in a hex editer. Edited August 3, 2016 by sirmola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pogohg Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 I don't know what a hex editor is. But thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirmola Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I don't know what a hex editor is. But thank you A hex editer is a program that allows you to manualy edit the binary data that composes computer files. They are useful for romhacking.

Pogohg Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Where can I find one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Where can I find one? If you google hex editor you'll probably find several options on the first page alone. Not sure which ones are considered the best though. Edited August 4, 2016 by Matthewtheman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
