Advanced NES ROM Utility - Split / Expand / Patch / Fix Checksum

Miscellaneous

Description:

This is an easy to use utility for performing some tasks on NES / FC ROMs!

Following functions are included:

  • Read iNES, NES2.0 and Nintendo header information
  • Fix checksums in Nintendo header
  • Split into single ROM files for burning (PlayChoice-10 support)
  • Split into equal sized parts for burning (VS Unisystem support)
  • Expand ROM (requires Nflate)
  • Apply IPS, UPS, BPS, BDF and Xdelta patches

Notes:

  • Remember that only just about 33% of all NES ROMs contain a Nintendo header (which often is malformed or contains wrong information)
  • Fixing checksums only works if a Nintendo header is present
  • Expanding requires Nflate to be in the same directory as Advanced NES ROM Utility
  • Requires .NET Framework 4.5

History:
