-For editing Super Metroid[[http://jathys.zophar.net/files/smile.zip | SMILE 2.5]] is the primary tool used; a more updated version [[http://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php/topic,1779.0.html | Parlor]] is availablebut is unstableMost information here will be with 2.5. SMILE has two derivatives currently in production, [[http://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php/topic,2160.0.html SMILE JX]] created by [[http://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php?action=profile;u=177 | JAM]] and [[http://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php/topic,3575.0.html | SMILE RF]] by [[http://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php?action=profile;u=41 Scyzer]].+All information here relates to the unheadered NTSC ROM: “Super Metroid (JU) [!].smc”, which should be 3,145,728 bytes in size and have CRC ''D63ED5F8'', SHA1 ''DA957F0D63D14CB441D215462904C4FA8519C613'', and MD5 ''21f3e98df4780ee1c667b84e57d88675''if your rom has different checksumthen it is not a clean unheadered vanilla ROMand you should try to acquire a new one If you do not know how to verify your ROM's checksum, try opening the ROM in snes9x or use something like [[http://quickhash-gui.org/|QuickHash]] or [[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11533|Microsoft's Checksum Tool]].
  
-Various tools exist for Super Metroid editing, including but not limited to [[http://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php/topic,1137.0.html Projectiler]] and [[http://beta.metroidconstruction.com/resource.php?id=9 DopeTool]], these tools are useful to creating the perfect ROM hack.+For information related to patching this ROM please check [[general:starter_guides:patching_a_rom|Patching a ROM]]FIXME or the [[http://metroidconstruction.com/howto.php|HOWTO]] on the main site.

 +For editing Super Metroidthe de facto standard level editor is **SMART**, offering automatic repointing and data management in addition to level editing.
