I had an old calculator that could change numbers into four bases: binary, octal, decimal, and hex. I always wondered what that "hex" mode was and why it used letters instead of numbers sometimes, and when we finally covered numbers in different bases it finally dawned on me what that mode was. From there I played around with my calculator until I discovered emulators and rom hacking, where I finally had a use for that old calculator. | |||

Hehe, I remember taht I used to be the only one who had any idea how to use Hexdecimal numbers in some digital electronics course. All thanks to ROM hacking.
I don't really remember the earliest instance of hex though, but it actually is before ROM hacking. But it's not until I screwed with ROM hacking I learned how to count it and such. :/ |

I learned through use of a Gameshark.
You have no idea how much shit I did in SMBDX a while back. |

I honestly have no idea when it was the first time I learned how to use Hexadecimal. I remember I saw some genius boy programming his TI-86 calculator using straight hex when I was in high school.... but I never understood what he was doing until I started reverse engineering programs and ROMs. (edited by D1337 on 12-14-06 07:43 PM) |

I had an old GameShark.
Those were the days. Edit: Actually, to be honest, I had a Game Genie. It had a small book with it (literally, small) that explained the basics of hexadecimal. (edited by D1337 on 12-14-06 07:49 PM) |

I was exposed to Hex from the Apple ]['s disassembler (* prompt) you get when you do an improper reboot, or "CALL -151".
I was pressing Return and noticing that the numbers went up 0-9, then A-F. I also wondered what the heck BRK meant... |
