Another great new NES Hacking/modification tool is being worked on according to this article from RHDN: http://www.romhacking.net/ And I'm not sure exactly, but seeing the screenshot kinda makes me think this tool's going to be newbie-friendly. Yes you might still need to learn a few technical things, but by the way things look it seems it might not be that hard to figure out.
I bet with the release of this tool old time, manual Assembly hackers will go ballistic, I mean for years they brute force hacked ROMs, now some helpful people goes out & releases an application that MIGHT simplify things for the newbie who wants in on the whole fan fiction ROM Hack community *Whispering* Just between you & me this will teach those guys who bad mouthed me on RHDN's forums when I told them I need help & want to learn ROM Hacking.
