Welcome to Ethan Sifferman’s Binary Hacking Class Website!
This class will have two units. In the first unit, you will make a Super Mario Bros. NES ROM hack. In the second unit, you will develop a WAV file parser with C++ std::fstream.
Absolutely no experience required! This class goes over how binary data is stored, how to read file format documentation, bitwise operations, character encodings, endianess, and editing binary data with C++.
Downloading a ROM file to a game you do not own is illegal. Here is where you can buy Super Mario Bros. for NES the cheapest. However, I will not show how to obtain the “Super Mario Bros. NES ROM” file once you complete the purchase. (Google is your friend.)
