hay guyz, what's a good tool to make IPS patches with? i used to use IPS XP, but now that i've reformatted, i figure i might as well use a new/different/better one.
i suppose i'd use NINJA or byuu's new format or somesuch, but emus don't have autopatching support for that.
EDIT: also, what are good hex editors?
EDIT 2: what the heck? what program lets you make the standard ISO or BIN/CUE format images from the old days? it seems every program now has its own proprietary image format... what the hell?

Lately i have been using ipsexe15, has the feature of creating a self-exe patch to apply, without the need of a ips patching tool  |

Lunar IPS is the only one for me. I don't know what's the other best one. I know WinIPS is another that most Japanese Hackers use but I don't know what's the difference.

I use Translhextion and Windhex. Both have different bugs, though... so I just use 'em depending on what I need. |

I'd like to take this time to make a quick plug for HxD. http://mh-nexus.de/programs.htmAs everybody surely knows, Hex Workshop is not free. In an effort to replace many of my 'shady' programs with legal freeware alternatives, I had a hard time finding a hex editor still being actively worked on today that was as feature rich, and had a nice easy interface as Hex Workshop. Well, after some searching, I found HxD. I've been pretty impressed with it. It can do alot of what Hex Workshop can do, and it's pretty easy to use. I have been using for a while now as my general hex editor of choice. In conjunction with Windhex, It satisfies my ROMhacking needs. So, you may want to give this editor a try. It's the best freeware general hex editor I've tried so far. |

what i forgot to say last post is... thanks, everyone! and teh winnars are: IPS Maker: LunarIPS Hex Editors: WindHex and HxD the two hex editors above get extra points for allowing you to change fonts, which allows me to use the almighty consolas font. i remember Hex Workshop being really good too, but again, it's not freeware. if you're curious as to my previous programs: IPS Maker: ips XP Hex Editors: Thingy (yes, Thingy... and i'll probably continue to use it, too  ) and Cygnus (which is also not freeware) |

I've been using LunarIPS and snesedit... It's DOS, but it's worked really well for me, so long as I use it mainly as a hex-editor and not something like an ips patch maker (it's produced buggy patches on me a few times before)

thanks for all your help on the previous two questions!
another one: what the heck? what program lets you make the standard ISO or BIN/CUE format images from the old days? it seems every program now has its own proprietary image format... what the hell?
