The download button is located at the top-right of the page.

Installing keyboard is easy, the instructions can be found here

Anaconda might chew up to 1gb of data to install, as a forewarning.Īfter an update I have made, you will now also be required to install the keyboard module. I'd suggest Anaconda (a Python virtual environment manager) as when you make an environment, you can specify "Anaconda" at the end of the command when creating a virtual environment in the command prompt, and it will create the python installation with a whole heap of commonly used modules, including tkinter. If you haven't dabbled in python before, you likely won't have the interpreter on your machine. (For Operating Systems other than Windows) If you're on Windows, there is a download link to a snapshot of my Python environment, the disassembler and a batch file to run it through python. If you would like to give it a whirl and you're on linux or mac, you will need a Python 3.5 or 3.6 interpreter, also need to install Python's "tkinter" and "keyboard" modules.

Generate a runtime patch script for PJ64d (patches all changes made during session while in disassembly view).

Modifying the SP frame push or pop (ADDIU SP, SP $#) will cause all read and write instructions within the function which use SP as the base address to be offset by the same amount.

Cutting instructions which have branches pointing to them will cause all branches within the function to be modified when you paste so that the branches point to the new paste location.

Generate a script from a script template to apply to a batch of addresses for use in other programs.

Hacking notes are always output to a negotiable text document in order of address they are aligned with.

Jump/branch mapping which allows highlighting of "branch/jump targets" and "jumps to function" lookup.

Checksum calculation (should work for most games).

Easy address translation from memory editor to emulator.

Text boxes containing original assembly, hacked assembly and comments/notes which are constantly aligned.

Highlighting for Load/Store instructions which can be determined to target the same memory address.

Highlighting for jumps/branches and selected register.

Assembly search engine: Search particular phrases to locate some code.

Memory region calculation: Main and Boot regions automatically calculated and supports additional memory regions.

Game offset mode: Jumps/branches/addresses and navigation will be treated with the appropriate memory region offset.

Anyone using it prior to this post will need to use "Re-map jumps" in the tools menu to apply a few minor changes to their jumps.data file. Hello! I've been doing some work on the assembly editor since last post, so there are a few more features.
