HuguesJohnson.com: Hapsby, Universal Save Game Editor for Java

Hapsby is a save state/save game editor for Java compatible platforms. It currently supports over 30 games, adding support for new games is relatively uncomplicated.

I wrote the first version of Hapsby back in spring/summer 2000 as a way to learn Java and cheat at NES/SMS/Genesis RPGs. Yeah, I cheated at a few games. I enjoy console RPGs but don't have time for all the XP/gold grinding. Hapsby was designed to solve this problem. Anyway, after a few iterations I had it working nicely and left it untouched for years. In late 2008 I had the urge to update it. Once I looked at the code I originally duct-taped together I opted for a sizable overhaul. The result was a more usable, and lighter, Hapsby 2.0.

If you create any new save game definitions I'd be more than happy to host them here, same for any modifications to the source code (well, really useful or cool ones at least).
