| This is a program I threw together since I thought that it might be at least a bit useful. Enter a file name and it will tell you if it's a clean, unchanged SMW rom. Before you ask: No, this program can't edit anything. Link |

| "Error! This is a clean SMW-ROM." (or something like that) Why error? O.o |

| To make it slightly easier, I'm using the command "runtimeerror()" which makes an alert box pop up with whatever text I want followed by the program closing. I can't affect what it says at the top of the box, though. Just ignore it. | |||

| Just wondering, what kinda checks does it make? How does it tell what kind of rom this is? | |||

| this reminds me "Error The program installed successfully." It probably just checks the checksum and/or various areas to see if they've been edited. whee. |

| It uses some kind of CRC32 checksum together with two super lame checksums I threw together to make it a bit more exact. | |||

| I haven't tested this, but what about ROMs opened by LM? Doesn't LM install some ASM or something like that when a rom is opened? That would still count as an edit wouldn't it? And how about different format ROMs? Like the japanese one, the european one, the american one, and I think I found a dutch one, but that was probably just a translation by a random person  .Good job throwing this together. May help some people  . |

| Any form of edit, even if it's just a single byte or even a bit, compared to the american 1.0 rom, will make the program say that it's edited. (edited by Smallhacker on 07-17-05 12:29 PM) (edited by Smallhacker on 07-17-05 12:29 PM) |

| I don't think LM supports the European ROM, and the Dutch one is a translation. I wonder if you couldn't make it distinguish between a clean US/JP ROM, one that was edited with LM, or one that's just plain corrupt (edited but no LM ASM hacks). | |||

| I heard Lunar Magic puts some text or something inside the rom when it touches it with any sort of hack, and he can use the header to differentiate from US/JP. It would be usefull to use if you don't know if your rom is 1.0,1.1, JP, EUR, US, and if it has mods and all that though, but for now it's still quite usefull, I've had the "Is this rom really a pure SMW?" problem for forever. | |||

| What's the point in supporting different versions? I mean... HOW often do people make a hack and use the japanese SMW as the patch base, for instance? | |||

| When they're Japanese! Hey, speaking of Japanese... How does LM edit the text in the Japanese ROM? You would need to have the font installed, and support for it, not to mention some way to type it.  I guess it could use a simple Romaji-Kana convertor (caps for Katakana, lowercase for Hiragana) or something, since I doubt SMW has enough room for Kanji, but I'm just guessing here... |

| As said in the LM help file: "LM does not currently support text editing in the Japanese version of SMW". | |||

Originally posted by HyperHackerOdd, the Japanese hackers seem to be using the US version with a Japanese font hacked in, from my limited experience. |

| Typing japanese is easy. It's called an IME. Input Method Editor. Takes your romaji input and converts it |

Yeah, but you need to install it, know how to use it, and work around its countless bugs.  Though LM's lack of text editing ability would explain why they use the US version. |
