DKC2/3 Hacking Support Tool

日本語/Japanese

The tools distributed here are for simplifying the editiong process of DKC hacking etc. The administrator specializes in DKC2 so the tools are mainly for it, but there also are DKC1 and DKC3 tools. The links of the Core Tools for remodeling is posted here as well, so people who want to start DKC hacking are welcome.

○Core Tools (They link to outside page. Please use them according to the individual website/software's User Agreement.)

SDK2editor/SDK3editor (Link for NTSC-J version ROM editor.)
DKC2/3's multifunction hacking tool. Able to change the locations of sprites and bananas, camera settings, level settings, import/export of tilemaps, etc. If you wish to expand DKC2's ROM to 6MB, use SDK2 Editor for 48Mbit ROM Edition or Super Gorilla Maker 2 located at the bottom of this page.

Platinum
Universal map editor software for editing tilemap data. You can't edit the level tilemaps without this.

Stirling
Hex editor. A software for fixing data that cannot be edited by tools such as SDK2 Editor. This opens all files, not just the ROMs, so please be careful.

YY-chr
Grphics editor. Able to edit any umcompressed pucture data directly by loading the ROM as a picture file.

 

○Hacking support tools (The tools that I personally developed and created. Please read the attached "readme" file or manual of each tools for terms or usage.)

* Since the software are developed upon the result of my personal analysis, please note that there is a possibility of defects due to the flaw in the analysis. Also, all tools are designed to be able to change the address since I highly value the data's extensibility, but changing the address without proper knowledge is very dangerous and may corrupt other data.

* If noted otherwise, all the tools distributed on this page require a computer that has .Net Framework 4.5 or above installed. If Windows Updates were installed as nomally, ther should be no problem.

* All the debugs were done on Windows7 Professional 64bit. I appreciate behavior reports on any other Windows OS.
