smallHex

A hex editor for PS Vita and Windows.

why smallHex

Not a special reason. There are better hex editors, but I decided to do it in order to do something highly portable and dynamic, usable virtually by any device. Also, I released in 2008 a version of smallHex for PSP: that was my first homebrew. Thanks to PS Vita hacking scene, I decided to rewrite it completely also for this system. In 7 years my programming skills improved, so why not write a 2.0 / remake version?

how to compile

Windows:

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 to build it, but it should works with any MSVC and MinGW compiler.

PS Vita

Install devkitPro + psp2sdk . Set psp2sdk as variable path, then simply launch 'make'.
