General Summary[]

ROM Hacking is a technique where hexadecimal coding is required in order to modify certain aspects of a video game. ROM stands for Read-Only Memory, but a hex editor can be used to edit that permanently. Such programs include Translhextion and HxD, amongst others. HxD is recommended for general-purpose hexadecimal coding, while Translhextion is recommended for rigorous editing of uncompressed text.

Mega Man Battle Network Hacking[]

A website exists to host guides for hacking Mega Man Battle Network ROMs, and it's called The Rockman EXE Zone. This is the one and only ROM hacking site for Mega Man games, so don't be fooled by any copies that pop up on the internet! Highly recommended!
