Hello to all
I am looking for a rom corruptor (or is it corrupter?) for linux
I am currently using my PS3 as a PC,
and want to know if there is a corrupter(source if any) out there for the ppc architecture
i am using Yellow Dog Linux and want to try to edit levels in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town
but can't find any for Linux
Can someone help me out?

Corrupting doesn't really have all that much place in romhacking anymore. Tracing is keen.

You can always do corruption in most hex editors with insert/overwrite functionality. There's no real need for a special program.

Corrupting is tons faster if you're good at it.

I went sort of head-to-head with Jigglysaint with something on IRC, before.  We were both looking for the same thing -- he used his methods (mainly corruption, iirc), and I started tracing.  He found the data and outlined the format it was in in like 10 minutes, and I was still looking after 25.

I'm sorta kinda writing a corrupter in python.  It doesn't do much though.

What exactly would you need?
