Version 1.0 = Initial public release.


This is a program that will let you enter any type of Sega CD or Genesis RAM address, and will search the ROM for possible addresses that you can modify to make changes in the game.  Once it finds any matches, you can decide how you want to modify it, and can then patch your changes into the ROM.  Will work on any type of Sega CD RAM address, including PRG RAM, Word RAM, etc.  This was designed for Sega CD, but will also work on Genesis ROMs as long as you keep the RAM address range between 00FF0000 and 00FFFFFF.  May also work on Sega 32x, but hasn't been tested.

Since there's not much RAM code support on many of the popular Sega CD emulators, this program will hopefully offer people another way of getting cheat codes to work on their Sega CD games.

You can either find RAM addresses for Sega CD games from places like GameHacking.org, or you can make your own with emulators like Gens 9.5b, Gens r57, etc.  Please click on the "Help/Information" button for important info on this.

There are also buttons that let you dump all of the info you found to a text file.  This includes the name of the game, RAM address you searched for, what type of search you did, and all of the ROM addresses found.

You can get most of the information you need as well as complete instructions for this program by clicking on one of the help or info buttons.

If you want, the program will make a copy of your original file when you go to patch your ROM/ISO, and only makes changes to the ROM you have open, so your origianl file stays safe.  You also have the option of patching your file without making a backup copy (there are two different patch buttons).

Program may not work on every RAM address.

If you're using this on a Genesis ROM and find that your game won't run after patching your ROM, click on the "Help/Instructions" button for info on how to easily fix that.

Shouldn't need any additional files if you're using Windows (uses the .net framework).
