Version 1.0 = Initial public release. 5/25/2022


This program will let you open any Zombies Ate My Neighbors ROM (Genesis/Mega Drive) and adjust many things in the game, and you can then patch those changes into your ROM.

Will work on any version/region of ZAMN.  Has been tested on the USA and European ROMs, as well as the "SRAM" ROM hack, and worked fine.  The editor uses pattern searches instead of static ROM addresses to find all of the ROM addresses it needs.  This is why it will work on any version of the game.

There are a couple Help/info buttons in the editor that should answer any questions.

There is a Dump button that will create a text file with lots of useful info like: Name of your game, all of the ROM addresses it found, as well as all of the values and descriptions for each ROM address.

When patching, you can decide if you want it to create a new ROM or not.  If you do make a new ROM, the program will automatically add "Patched" to the end of your file name, which makes it easy to remember which file was patched, although you can name the new file anything you want as long as it's not the same as the original file name.  This keeps your original ROM safe.

There are detailed instructions for the "Level Select" feature in the "Help" file.

Clicking on the check boxes for: "Play as the Monster", "Add level select in Option menu", and "Zombies ignore you and neighbore" will give you quick information about what those options do.

To listen to an unused song while playing level 1 (Zombie Panic), enter a value of 1 in the "Music playing in level 1" adjustment.  Other values for other songs are listed in the "Help" file.

Shouldn't need any additional files if you're using Windows (uses the .net framework).
