HAL Laboratory NES/SNES/GB (de)compression tools
|
||||
by Devin Acker (Revenant), 2013
|
||||
|
||||
These programs are released under the terms of the MIT license. See copying.txt for legal info.
|
||||
|
||||
exhal and inhal are tools designed to decompress and recompress/insert data used by several NES,
|
||||
SNES and Game Boy games developed by HAL Laboratory.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the design of the original decompression algorithm (and hardware limitations), the size of
|
||||
a file to be compressed is limited to 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes). Please note that depending on
|
||||
which system you are working with, the actual useful limit may be much smaller.
|
||||
|
||||
To use exhal (the decompressor):
|
||||
exhal romfile offset outfile
|
||||
|
||||
To insert compressed data into a ROM:
|
||||
inhal [-fast] infile romfile offset
|
||||
|
||||
To write compressed data to a new file:
|
||||
inhal [-fast] -n infile outfile
|
||||
|
||||
Offsets can be specified in either hexadecimal (recommended) or decimal.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the -fast switch results in compression which is about 3 to 4 times faster, but with
|
||||
slightly larger output data. Use this if you don't care about data sizes being 100% identical
|
||||
to the original compressed data.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a list of games which are known to use the supported compression method, or are assumed
|
||||
to, based on a binary search of the games' ROMs:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Also note, unfortunately, that exhal cannot automatically detect or locate compressed data.
|
||||
The included file "gamenotes.txt" contains an incomplete list of decompression routine addresses
|
||||
to make searching easier.
|
||||
|
||||
These tools were originally used in the development of my Kirby's Dream Course editor. I hope you
|
||||
find your own exciting use for them. (I'm not the only Kirby hacker in the West, right? *sob*)
