MiNES

MiNES is an editor for NES ROMs in the iNES format. It's a free software (GNU/GPL). It works fine for me, but I make no guarantees or take any responsibility for what happens. You use this product at your own risk. If there is a problem, let me know, and I will attempt to fix it.
I wrote MiNES because I needed a portable iNES editor that would allow me to change the PAL/NTSC bit of the iNES header. MiNES acts accordingly to the Marat Fayzullin's specification, and take care to not change any unused (reserved for future use) bits. That way you can be sure that it will not broke your ROMs (unless you do something stupid), and preserve compatibility with future versions of the iNES format.

The current MiNES version is much more than just a dumb header editor - it computes the ROM's CRC32 and uses an internal database to guess the game's title and correct header settings.

I hope you will find MiNES to be a useful tool.

Features:
- Takes care to not change any unused bits, as these may be used in future versions of the iNES format,
- Allows to "clean" the header from garbage (like "DiskDude!" entries...), by reseting all "reserved/unused" bits to zero,
- Do not writes anything to the file, until the user confirm it,
- Recognises over 120 documented mappers,
- Finds some header misconfigurations and displays appropriated warnings,
- Guess the game's title and correct header settings using a GoodNES database,
- May be used to add/edit additional ROM's informations (game's title)...

Minimum requirements are a 386 running DOS 5.0. Windows and Linux versions are available too.
