[QUOTE="SpiderDave, post: 127, member: 1105"] I made a tool for NES compression. It's a command line Windows app. Get it from "releases" on the github link. https://github.com/SpiderDave/NESCompress [code] NESCompress v2024.11.26-alpha by SpiderDave (https://github.com/spiderdave) Compress or decompress data from NES games.

Items labeled with (c) apply only to compressing. Valid compression methods are: [konami, kemko] When specifying filenames, you may also use a colon at the end and add a file offset. Examples: NESCompress -d:"Castlevania III - Dracula's Curse (USA).nes:0xb580" -0:"nt0.nam" NESCompress -c:"uncompressed.nam" -a:0x2000 -o:"compressed.nam" NESCompress -c:"custom.nam" -o:"cv3Edit.nes:0xb580" [/code] [/QUOTE]
