| * [[http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=4615|xkas]] - does not just apply asm code, it has a ton of super useful features hardly anyone knows about\\ | * [[http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/la/|Lunar address]] - If you don't know what this is for, then you probably shouldn't be here. What is a bank and what is a pointer? GO LEARN!\\ |
| * [[http://www.zophar.net/snes/geiger-s-snes9x-debugger.html|Geigers SNES9x Debugger]] - I'm using 1.51, which is quite glitchy graphics-wise, but it works very well to disassemble code\\ | * [[http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=4615|xkas v0.06]] - An extremely useful program for writing and maintaining ASM code, also used to create and apply patches.\\ |
| * [[ http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/la/ | Lunar address]] - If you don't know this program then you're not a hacker. What is bank and what is pointer? GO LEARN!\\ | * Debugging Emulator - [[http://bsnes.revenant1.net/|bsnes-plus]] or [[http://www.zophar.net/snes/geiger-s-snes9x-debugger.html|Geigers SNES9x Debugger]] - Geiger's v1.51 may have some minor issues (mostly graphical), bsnes-plus is more recent. Both are highly useful for disassembling code, take your pick.\\ |
