Love it!vikfield2021-07-31Version 0.9

I've been wanting to hack this amazing sega game for a long time, and then Tony Hedstrom brings us this wonderful program so we can start creating our own hack for Dune II.

This program is very basic and easy to use, in fact, it is self explanatory. One of the functions that I liked the most is that you can see the original values ​​of the game at any time and make comparisons with your work without taking any risk. by the way, if the modifications you have made were not to your liking, you can always return the rom to its original state without corrupting it by using the same options already mentioned.

The only bad thing (if it should be said like this) is that at the moment only a few unit types can be modified; but I'm sure the developer will make new updates with more options and units to modify in due time.

keep up the good job, Tony, and thank you so much!
