SiMoNsAyS Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 reshacker should be the best option but there are alternatives like "restorator 2005" which is definetly what you're looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 What exe file are you trying to change it might have been compressed. I will give you a hand at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubar Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) you can use UPX to decompress it.download upx Here. place zsnesw.exe and upx.exe in the root of C: as its easier to explain then just goto start > run and type C:\upx.exe -d zsnesw.exe and voila it will be unpacked to 2.97MB.
