Re: ROMCMP - Can anyone confirm if it is UTF-8 Unicode compliant?
01/13/20 11:35 PM


Thank you for the detailed explanation.

It makes sense. Until I started looking into unicode and UTF-8, I was flabbergasted when I found out that there wasn't a standardized, universal character set that held all characters. I guess it does make sense just due to the variation, but still.

And Windows definitely makes it worse, but at least in this case, the limitation could be bypassed by simply renaming the zip files and leaving the original rom files with their original titles.

ROMCMP proved invaluable in identifying WiiuVCextractor has a flaw that modifies binary data of Gameboy Advance roms that do not start with a byte equal to 2E (which it alters to 2E based on the assumption that all GBA roms start with this entry point, but the truth is *most* GBA roms start with 2E, not all)>
