Has anyone ever used a Hex editor before?
I have an old game i want to play and it keeps on crashing.. found a solution but have to download and use a hex editor.
 
Yeah, just google "hex editor", and should be able to find a bunch of free versions (HxD comes up first for me, and it sounds familiar enough that I've probably used it before). If you know what needs changing in the game, should be easy enough to just open whatever in the editor, make the edit, then save and exit.
 
Man I was expecting some of you to go for the other type of Hex editor and Ask what kind of Hex do you need to edit :p
And who hexed you or who did you hex.
Seriously there are many most of them decent. but be careful where you obtain them from people are not to be trusted
I'd have to be home to look at the one I have downloaded.. It might be HxD.

We've used it in the past to make edits to Sega - Genesis games.

What is the old game, and what platform?

It’s a game called Sid Meier’s Railroad… it’s a simple game… I use to love playing railway tycoon and lots of civilization so when Sid Meier came out with a railroad game I got it for shits and giggles..

Yeah, Railroads is pretty fun. Surprised you would need a hex editor - there's a Steam version out there which I think should work out of the box.

It is on steam… it crashes every 5-10 mins…
It’s on steam that they recommended the hex editor fix

Ah, okay. I have the steam copy (I think I saw it once on a humble bundle or something and paid like 5$ for it), but haven't played it in a while. There's a few parts of it that are a tad simpler than they were in railroad tycoon, but it's definitely still fun to play.

Speaking of Railroad Tycoon, I remember a few years back being interested to try it again, so I found one of those dosbox links like above to download and play it. I think I forgot to reset my CPU speed, and immediately upon opening the map, I got the popup that time had expired. How fast the years went was based on your clock speed, and it was geared to CPUs back in the 44 Mhz days I think. Processors are just a tad better these days...
