OK so this is a small collection of simple utilities I whipped up for bust3r's hucard prototype work. Basically, US region check patching, bit flipping, and header elimination are all covered here. CLI only, and written for Windows. I can also build these tools for Linux or even MS-DOS if need be.

Thanks for these, I will have a play later :-)
Cool!
These are some great utilities that should open up some fun projects in the future.
Wait, didn't Gameofyou and someone else release a GUI program that does all this stuff already for use with the low cost flashcard?
Who knows. There's ucon64 which cabbage uses but I found it severely overcomplicated for our purposes, not to mention the fact that the language they used in the documentation was extremely misleading.
Yeah, the software for the cheap HuCard Flash card includes the program described on this page:

If you have some routines that add to that, you should talk about getting it all rolled up into one nice GUI-tool.
bust3r figured out the mirroring bit for 384KB ROMs. About the only thing I could add is padding for 1MB. I could have made a GUI version, but it would have taken a considerable amount of time and I didn't feel it was necessary for our purposes at the time. Besides, who's afraid of CLI? :P
Well, it just means we now have TWO ways to do these functions. People can now pick their poison instead of having only one option available. Sounds like a win to me.
Now all we have to do is add the ability to apply IPS patches.
