Battle Animation Editor The Battle Animation Editor allows users to select the backgrounds used in battle sequences against enemies in EarthBound. A very groovy little program. While at one point the program was 30 Mb, it has been shrunk to a mere 4 Mb! Newly added is a modified version by Chris Davis, which is compatible with Windows 2000 and XP. Rejoice! |

Compressed Graphics Editor The CGPED - or Compressed GraPhics EDitor - is an image compression/insertion program rather than an editor. You can create enemy battle sprites with your favorite art program and stick them into the game! Many people seem to have problems using this program, but once you know what you're doing, it's as easy as crashing Windows 98. Lower on this page, there is an archive of .bmp images you can download and use as battle sprites with this program. |

Decomp This groundbreaking DOS-based program decompresses compressed graphics data into SNES graphics format. It exports files as raw SNES data, so you will have to view it with a program like Tile Layer in order to export it to a standard image filetype. Mad props to cabbage for this l33tness! |

Text Editor One of the greatest works of all PK Hacking. This program allows you to edit the actual text within the EarthBound ROM, a system which is actually highly flexible and allows for the creation of cutscenes and special events with the unique control codes that EB uses. A note about versions - Version 3.7 includes some advanced options, including a control code interpreter. However, it loads more slowly than older versions - loading the Expanded Megabyte may even cause your computer to crash. You may also want to get Version 3.0. |
