Ok, I figured this needed to be brought up. Before anyone asks if there's a game editor, try doing a bit of research. http://www.zophar.net http://www.romhacking.com http://www.dragoneyestudios.net http://www.cg-games.net are your best chances of getting any editor of any game out there. If those don't have what you're looking for, then try Google. If all else fails, look for hacks of the game you're looking for. If there's no hacks of it, that means there's 99.99% chance that the editor you want does NOT exist. I figured these tips and doing a little search can save the board from getting slaughtered with more "is there a *insert game* editor" threads.

I'm in complete agreement with DD on this one. Maybe this should be stickied or something, as it's already getting buried.

confucius say: no matter how much you cram a particular piece of information down people's throats, no matter how simple and straightforward that information is, some n00b will still ignore it. so stickying this thread probably won't help much.

Perhaps a more effective sticky would be a thread with all the common ROM editors listed and links to where you can get them (which could be updated as new editors come out). Along with a message like "if it's not on this list, don't ask for it on the boards" or something.

Just an idea.

Maybe there could be a thread where you could ask these types of questions... Just my opinion.

All the ones I know of that have been made or are in development:


Arcade
-----------

Bubble Bobble
Tempest

NES
--------

SMB
SMB2
SMB3
Bubble Bobble
Zelda
Zelda 2
Metroid
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy II (in development)
Astyanax (in development)
Adventures of Lolo
Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle (in development)
1942 (in development)
Bust-A-Move
Mega Man 1-7 (in development)
River City Ransom (in development)

SNES
----------
SMW
SMK
SMRPG
Zelda: LttP
Harvest Moon
Super Bubble Bobble
Bust-A-Move
Chrono Trigger
Clock Tower
Earthbound
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Panic in Nakayoshi World
Sailor Moon RPG
Super Metroid (in development)

GB/GBC/GBA
---------------------

Pokemon series
Zelda: LA
SMBDX
Snoopy's Magic Snow
Metroid 2
Kirby's Block Ball

Sega Genesis
----------------------

Sonic 1-3


And that's all the ones I can think of... and I looked a few up on Zophar... so, use this list in whatever way you need to. If I forgot one, then... oh well, add on to it. But, if you don't see your game on THE LIST, then don't ask if it's there... when you can clearly see it's not. Maybe someone could make an OFFICIAL list...

EDIT: Note that some of these can only edit text, some can only edit maps, graphics, etc. Some can do everything. If an official list is made, we could have download links to all of em... maybe... and a short description of them... OR, you could do what MOST of us would do... which is, see that the game has an editor, use Google to find the editor, and then we don't bug anyone.

Don't forget Wheel of Fortune for the NES... that's still technically in development. When that's done, I may have to do a separate one for Sports and Family Editions, because they use a slightly different format for puzzles. However, the engine is still very similar.

Oh, and Boulder Dash has a complete editor. How do ya think I did BD:G?

Eh, there might be and we just haven't listed it here. I'm guessing no, but there's certainly interest in hacking it... find someone who could make it (or do what I'm doing and learn how to do it yourself) and you just might see an editor. (This, of course, assumes that the editor's author has the necessary data... you'll have to find that too.)

Well there is many editors out there that we probably do not know about. I am working on a few that I know do not exist...just wait...if you ever want tor equest you can go to my message board or email me and I can see what can be done.

I have plans for a few more NES ones for sure this year...just keep checking around...and if I am lucky maybe 3 editors this month!! Just released GNGWin my 2nd one!!

The next version is expected from yrs. truly in ... ah heck... Mabye I can just give out the current LEVELS.DAT or something.
