This fantastic ROM hacking utility is effectively a SOR2 character editor. Adding your own custom characters into SOR2 is now a piece of (pan)cake! The possibilities for new ROM hacks are unlimited! (Requires Java).

NEW to version 1.6: Now you can port your characters between SOR2, BKII, Syndicate Wars (SW) and other compatible hacks. This will be particularly useful when new SW versions come out, allowing you to port your custom characters from older versions to the newest one.

Exclusive SW hacking features include editing all players, enemies and bosses, and no limit restriction on the number of frames per character; you can re-size animations to add all the extra frames you need. Of course, beware of the 4MB ROM size limit.

To edit SOR2 SW do file - open with specific guide, choose SW guide, then open SW rom.

Also included are complete spritesets for SOR2 and SOR3, for your convenience.
