What is Reddit's opinion of XVI32?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I still use XVI32 its just simple and works.

You can find a huge list of hex editors here. (you can sort be latest release date)

For your situation, it sounds like a hex editor is your best bet. It's going to be hard to get out your data and you will lose all formatting, but it seems better than the alternative. Opening it in any text editor should be able to show you your document with gibberish thrown in for formatting codes. Just copy and paste out what you need.

A convenient hex editor that I use is one called XVI32. It should do what you need.

After, teach her the importance of backups so this doesn't happen again.

Indeed. When you open a file in a HEX editor (I use XVI32) a file has it's filetype usually as first. If you save the "jpg" and open it in XVI32, the first thing will be "GIF89" (which is the filetype and year of when the GIF standard was released). File extensions (the .gif part of the filename) are only useful to windows, so windows knows what program to use to open the file and to the user in the sense that the user can see what kind of file a file is. On the other hand, people might be tricked into installing trojan horses by opening a .jpg.exe file (which is just an executable) but since most people have the file extensions hidden, the file will show up as filename.jpg and people will think its just an image and run the executable.

Summary: It doesn't matter what a file has as a file extension, because a file has information in itself about what filetype it is.

You won't be able to get achievement if you turn off the cheat the regular way, but you can manually re-enable the achievements. Here's how:

1. Download XVI32 (or any other hex editor if you already have it).
2. Run XVI32 and open your save file. It's a .sr3 file at ...\Steam\userdata<Your User ID>\206420\remote. Be sure to back up your save file first.
3. From the menu, select "Address", then "Goto"
4. Select "hexadecimal", and enter C8 in the text box. Also select "absolute" in the Go mode. Click OK afterwards.
5. A box will be highlighted. Set the highlighted box to 00 and save it.
6. Load the save game in your game. It will still show as having a cheat before you load it. But once you load it, save your game over that same save. The cheat flag should now be gone.

For posterity, in case anyone else runs into the same problem and needs a solution:

This can be fixed pretty easily by using a hex editor (like XVI32) to change a single 4-byte sequence in XD_3DA.exe.

At address B786E, change D0 1B 4D 00 to 70 07 4D 00

This will lower the mouse_sens bottom limit from 0.05 to 0.001. Works with the 1.0006 version of SoC (including AA).

Thanks. 3,4 were made by classic databending through wordpad, you can read about it more in the sidebar. Sometimes it works, sometimes you just get shitty noise with some colors. I tried like 20 pictures before i got atleast few good ones. Photoshop RAW interlaced was the format I choosed. For the 5 I saved the pic as Photoshop RAW, opened it in hexeditor (again in the sidebar) and deleted a few values. Then I opened it in Photoshop with resolution -1 in horizontal. You might not even need to delete a few values in hex and just open the picture with -1 horizontal resolution, but I am not sure about that. Hope this helps and I would like to see some of your results too!

Here are the two mentioned links.

I don't know of a program that specifically searches for menu items, but you could probably throw the program into a hex editor and do a string search and look around the areas that you get a match on, though I am not sure how useful the output would be in every case. I highly recommend XVI.

When I'm curious as to any alterations done on an online photograph, I usually run it through "Hex Scanner" or editor such as "Hex Editor XVI32" ~ http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm ~ It displays in both text (ASCII/ANSI) and hexadecimal representation.

Invariably, photo editors such as Adobe, et al, leave their fingerprints in a photo such as programs used, dates and exactly what was done to the photo, aside from scanning it.

To cover up your tracks at this level takes someone who knows the hexadecimal language which is very uncommon.

That is much clearer, thank you.

Perhaps when you made the .cia for the VC injection, you did not set the options correctly?

If you are determined to manually cut down the size of the file, then you can do that with any hex editor, such as XVI32.

Can you show us an example of such a file?

Also, I like to use XVI32 for examining files. If you were to do so to a file you created via, say, Notepad, you will see that there are no metadata in the file itself.

When I create a file in Excel that has such cells as you describe, save it as a CSV, and use the OpenText method exactly as you do in lines 28-29, my file looks exactly as we'd like it to. Perhaps your CSV was created in such a way as OpenText can't handle it the way you'd like? Maybe just try Open instead.

Failing that, I would look at the file in a program that shows you exactly, byte by byte, what the file looks like. (I use XVI32 for that.) So if C2 contains

a

b

then in the CSV, that cell needs to be described as 22 61 0A 62 22. I would think that if that's the case, it'd be fine.

HTH.

Thx, but only using the mod manager mods wont work, so I found this tutorial:

-Download this program http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm#download and open the mod with it, press DEL eight times, save and put the mod on data in your game directory

-Use mod manager and select the mod

-Play

You can use:

A tool for adding Headers from Romhacking.net

Add it with a Hex Editor yourself. Just add 512 bytes to the beginning of the file. Spam 00 until you get there. I recommend Xlv32.

Use a rom with an actual Header.

This is an old post but oh, well. Someone might still see it. You CAN download mods by means of workshop downloader (I do it all the time).

You need a hex editor, easiest to use is this one.

Then, you need to open the .pack archive with said program and press delete EIGHT times. You know it´s done when the first letter in the boxes to the right is a p.

Finally, save that .pack archive and move it to your data folder. Manage your mods with Mitch´s mod manager.

Now, you can use all mods from the workshop.

Open your backups.

Also, give this a read.

I suggest also asking on /r/photoshop

Try opening the file in a hex editor and show me the start and ending as a screenshot.

A Hex Editor is a tool that allows you to modify the .exe of the game (It was thanks to it that people got access to the Alpha editor), But it's kinda complex to use if you don't know a lot about programming. You can get it Here.

Also, a DoubleFine employee made a video about hacking Zelda with it, and it explains how it works: Link

Can confirm that the hex editing solution on this page works:

I used this hex editor and it worked great:

Both shroud and horrible flashing white light removed.

Damn it... was trying to do that on windows, didn't think to replace one of the values rather than adding a new one. You can use Hex Editor XVI32 if people want to try.

Time to break out the hex editor. I would recommend http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm

I'm trying it myself, but it appears the savegame is encoded because I can't find any plain text (such as the character name) to edit.

Anybody have any idea how the save game might be encoded? Or any advice on the next step?

>less than perfect formatting-wise

Try exporting to text or html then use a hex editor to make custom formatting changes. You can search and replace Really comes in handy when converting PDF's that have carriage returns where the paragraphs don't reflow properly (I like my paragraphs indented 5 spaces separated by one line).

It's possible it's transferring in ASCII mode rather than BINARY mode. It's unclear exactly what you're doing though; whether you're using Windows Explorer as an FTP transfer or as a windows file sharing transfer

In any case, download and use another FTP program (e.g. FileZilla)

If you want to test with the command-line ftp that comes with windows to see if binary/ascii really is the problem

• Open a command prompt

• ftp servername

• type in your username

• type in your password

• type binary

• type put filename.zip

Check that filename.zip is not corrupted.

If you want to see specifically how the files are corrupted (if it is indeed that every 8th bit is corrupted, which would be the case if it was a ascii/binary problem), use a Hex viewer to compare them side by side
