A rom hacking tool for the analysis of .nes rom images.
Nesi may be useful for rom hackers or emulator developers. The file utility
on Linux provides some information on .nes rom files, but not enough. Nesi
was created to provide additional information.
Python 2.7orPython 3.0+should suffice
The easiest way to install nesi is via PyPi, this can be done with the following command:
$ pip install nesiNote, sudo may or may not be required depending on your environment.
The second way to install is by cloning the repository and installing the development version of the pip package:
$ git clone https://github.com/prophittcorey/nesi.git
$ cd nesi
$ make installThe pip package installs the nesi executable as well as the nes package which can be used to write your own scripts.
Note, you may have to source your shell for the nesi executable to be picked up.
Nesi is a command line application. The basic usage can be found below:
usage: nesi [-h] [-r ROM] [-v]
Specify a .nes rom image to be analyzed
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-r ROM, --rom ROM path to a .nes rom image to be analyzed
-v, --version show the current nesi version
