==Requirements:==
*.NET Framework 4+ (if you use automatic updates on Windows XP SP3, Vista, or Windows 7 then you probably already have this) or Mono 3+.

*Aridia has not been tested with any other Phantasy Star III ROM image other than Phantasy Star 3 - Generations of Doom (UE) [!].bin. It does not work with the Japanese ROM image because the data offsets are different.

*Visual Studio Express (C# 2010+) or MonoDevelop if you want to edit or build the source code.

Almost perfect tool !ArmorVil2011-05-01-

Yes, it's an almost perfect utility to hack PS3. It has everything you need. Really, the only thing that bothers me a little is the lack of a Save button. Right now, everything you change will automatically be saved into the Rom, so it could lead to some problems if you're not careful (like modifying a PS3 you don't want to modify).

I prefer when my changes are only saved when I select the option.

Not much to comment about here. As the picture shows, this is a PS3 editor. For novices in romhacking (such as myself) this is incredibly easy to use. It's designed to be user friendly and it's actually kind of fun going in and editing this game. Especially with editing characters and replacing that terrible script and placing in whatever you feel like. Pretty nifty stuff. Remember, the editor only uses the Phantasy Star 3 (UE) rom. Check it out.
