dump-fixing-tools

Tools for fixing bad disc/ROM/etc dumps so that they match the hash of a proper dump listed in e.g. Redump or No-Intro.

General

• findcrcs - GUI/further automation tool: GUI for FindCRCs
• find-ends - Rebuild the missing ends of files, given the expected complete CRC32 and another file to search for the missing parts
• crcoffset - Adjust padding to match a file known only by CRC and size
• crc-init-trunc
• bitflipper - Brute force bit flips in a file to match a hash. I've confirmed this can be sped up significantly by adding CRC32 pre-check to the code, but I don't know how to modify the code properly/cleanly
  • Older tools, not sure if they have any advantage over bitflipper:
    • bitflip.py from rescene
    • MP3 Diags "Restore flipped bit in audio" function
• rdiff - Allows people to share differences between a file, without either person needing to send a whole file. (Tutorial + windows build zip with required dll included)
• ReScene

Manual tools:

• HxD - Or hex editor of your choice
