MiNES is an editor for NES ROMs in the iNES format. I wrote MiNES because I needed a portable iNES editor that would allow me to change the PAL/NTSC bit of the iNES header. MiNES follows the Marat Fayzullin's iNES specification, and takes care to not change any unused (reserved for future use) bits. That way you can be sure that it will not brake your ROMs (unless you do something stupid), and preserve compatibility with future versions of the iNES format.

MiNES computes ROM's CRC32 and uses an internal database to guess the game's title and correct (recommended) header settings.

Features

  • Takes care to not change any unused bits, as these may be used in future versions of the iNES format
  • Allows to "clean" the header from garbage (like "DiskDude!" entries...), by reseting all "reserved/unused" bits to zero
  • Do not writes anything to the file, until the user confirm it
  • Recognises over 120 documented mappers
  • Finds some header misconfigurations and displays appropriated warnings
  • Guesses the game's title and correct header settings using a GoodNES database
  • May be used to add/edit additional ROM's informations (game's title)...
