I'm looking for a good Hex editor for a friend, who wants to do hex editing, but, doesn't like using his PC.

What is the best Mac Hex editor, Preferably one that is free, and acts a lot like Windhex?

Check MacUpdate.com, you will probably find what you are looking for...
I use HexEdit, which is probably not as good as many other Hex Editors out there in terms of spiffy functions, but it's enough for me...

I just looked through there (Thank you for the link BTW), and I found something called Hex-Fiend

It is a 16 [0f in hex] based Hex editor (By default), instead of it showing 22 [16 in hex] like it showed in the pic.

Thanks again!

That... kind of doesn't make a lot of sense.

Also, in my experience, there is a continuous shortage of decent binary editing utilities for operating systems that are not Windows. With decent display drivers, even doing something like running XVI32 under Wine/Crossover/Parallels/whatever the canonical mac winapi emulation layer is might make sense.

(But then, what does a Mac user want with a hex editor anyway...?)

Doesn't Mac OS have access to Wine?

If so, why not run a Windows-based editor through it?

What does ANYONE want to do with a hex editor?

But yeah - HexEdit seems to be the most functional hex editor for OSX that I have found in my searches. Hasn't been updated in years now but it still works perfectly fine with Snow Leopard. I personally use XVI32 on the Windows side, so I'd say that it is rather similar except copying and pasting actually works without derping all the time.

Absolutely the best Mac hex editor is 0xED.
If you don't like that, I can guarantee that WINE runs Translhextion, GoldFinger and XVI32.
But really, 0xED is really good. You should try it.

I'm not following. Why WOULDN'T you want a hex editor?

Don't most people edit games by editing the hex?

Or do most people fully disassemble them to change one thing?
