.....but since the people here are SMART, and might know such things, I will ask here.....AGAIN SINCE THE INTERNET APPARENTLY ATE MY LAST TOPIC WTF....
Is there any program that can/way to compare two SNES ROMs and find out the differences in content, such as you might do between a beta and a final version?
I mean, I'm not expecting something that can print out a list of the various graphics and text differences, but if there was a utility that let me know, say, an approximate percentage.....knowing whether there was a 0.02% difference or a 80% difference would make it a lot easier for me to make the decision to play through the beta and the final release "side by side".
Well, can anyon help me? :\ |

You could just use the file compare feature that's in some hex editors like Hex Workshop. |

Can't speak for programs on the PC, but on the Macintosh you could use either HexEdit's "Compare Files..." feature or the program called ResCompare |

I have a program that is like that for .NES files that I got a while back, but I'm not quite sure who the Author is... I'll see if I can dig up that at least sometime. |

Reminds me of when I decided I would try to hack a DDR (arcade) disc so I could add my own songs.
I got ahold of Max2, opened it up, and, umm... don't really know anything about programming... ^_^;
But I think I found the code for the step patterns. *SIGH* |

For the graphics you could load the games up in a good sprite editor and simply compare their graphics side-by-side. My only experience using this method is with Nes roms, but I'm assuming it wouldn't be much more difficult for Snes games. |
