utilities for snes rom translating

[Blasingame]

What utilities do most developers use to translate roms? I'm guessing some kind of hex editor as well as some utility to decompress the rom information and compress it. Probably a tile editor and some utility to to make tables. If anyone know the specific names of good utilities to translate. I checked romhacking.net but could not locate any hex editors specified for snes games to translate.

I pretty much need to know the utility name and what I will need it for (i.e. utility x used for decompressing game data).

That's because hex editors are not system specific. A hex editor works with any system. Windhex is probably the only hex editor geared somewhat toward the SNES specifically, but it can still be used for other systems.

I'd suggest you visit the Getting Started section on RHDN to learn the ropes on ROMhacking.

Game data is usually very specific to the game, so you might just have to write your own.
