| I learned hex by the use of a GameShark. I learned how to make cheats in Pokemon this way. I then moved on and found Acmlm about a year later and started playing the hacks that people made, while all the time wondering how this was accomplished. It was back in the TEK-Hacks days when I was a member did I truly realize that hexadecimal was useful for other things as well.
How did you learn? Post your thoughts. |

| A Very important batch of the Mathematical education system of Finland are the Hexadecimal numbers.
So yea, school. |

| I never bothered too much about ROM hacking and such, but my first "computer" was a Schneider CPC464 with Locomotive BASIC 1.0 ("High resolution mode" was 640 x 200 pixels, yeah - and Datacorder with tapes (!) for the win).
Hexadecimal numerals where pretty important then as much as the binary system. Seeing how much important even today these are (BSoDs and such), it is pretty good to know that system, especially when programming or doing something else with computers. On the other hand, I'm not involved in this; so you won't really lose any huge experience if not working with PCs/Macs a lot. It's also interesting - it also could have been the octal system (basis 8; ranging from zero to eight, concerning the different numerals) or something else ...

| I heard (and somewhat understood) the term several years ago, but only really learned how to work in hexadecimal and binary about 5 years ago when I started learning rom hacking. | |||

| ROM-hacking, and my CS teaching dad has been trying to teach the class about it.
They didn't really understand why they should know how to count in different bases. Now they don't understand what comes after 0xF. I'm not kidding. |

| Learned it by messing with BASIC back in the early 90s with my piece of crap 1983 IBM computer. Wanted to draw some *extremely large* NES graphics and learned to use the alt key and typing in numbers on the key pad. After awhile, it made some sense.
Yep, a crappy style Wart on an old school computer crossed my screen at one time. That's the reason I've never thought hexidecimal was a problem, especially whenever I started hacking hexidecimal in the early 2000s. |

Learned it from messing around with NES ROMs and an old copy of Hex Workshop. It reminded me of the Matrix, and therefore, I thought I was awesome for being able to understand it.  |

| I decided just last summer that I wanted to hack ROMs without using an editor that someone else worked hard to make. I got tired of people calling themselves hackers for being able to use others' tools, and wanted to learn how to do it on my own using tools that weren't game specific...like a hex editor.
Another interesting poll would be "which hex editor did you start out with"? My answer would be AXE version 3.4, one that most people seem to have never heard of... I was only able to find this "AXE" through use of this particularly interesting site called "Google" XD |

| Learned it through ROM hacking and pretty much teaching myself. Before I knew what hex what, I would read through all the posts here and think "Hey .. since when does the number system go 0123456789ABCDEF?"
Ever since then I just kind of .. learned  |

| Let me just put it this way:
You don't want to know. In truth, I don't really know HOW I learned it- I just DID after I started up hacking SMW (which I can't stay away from).... |
