<p>The Hex Editor also has support for table files (*.tbl) to map bytes to text. Each line consists of four characters of the form "xx=y", where "xx" is the hex value, and "y" is the character that that value represents. I have also added an extension to represent the Return key: &nbsp;xx=ret whereby pressing the Return key will enter that value into the ROM. &nbsp;You can copy/paste data or text by selecting it and using Ctrl+C (to copy) and Ctrl+V (to paste). Plus, there is an Edit-&gt;Find feature that you can use to search for data. This feature should be fairly intuitive, so I won't bother to explain it.</p> <p>The Hex Editor also has support for table files (*.tbl) to map bytes to text.

<p>IMPORTANT NOTE: this feature does not track the actual changes of RAM. It works by simply comparing current values to previously displayed values of the same addresses. That's why the feature works with RAM/PPU/ROM as well.</p> <p>IMPORTANT NOTE: this feature does not track the actual changes of RAM.
