I'm not trying to offend you or anything, but why do you mind if people use tools etc.? It's kind of annoying - ROM Hacking is a hobby, not a job, so surely it doesn't matter what people do to make the outcome? It's like, if somebody was writing a book, using a word processor and computer is the equivalent of using tools, instead of using pen and paper - which lacks spell and grammar check, the ability to copy and paste, replace stuff with, etc., which is the equivalent of using a hex editor. Does this mean that the author using pen and paper is better than the author using the word processor on the computer?
