This tool has been written in order to extract strings for Katana (.BIN) executables, helping you to translate a Dreamcast game in your language (you know, this is "ROM hacking").

dcstrex <dc_exec.bin> <output.csv> <addr_base>

The output generated will be in CSV format (can be opened in any spreadsheet software).
