This is a good thing to have. I saw it on Edge a few years ago, and instantly made a printout of it and taped it to the wall by my workstation. I still refer to it from time to time when I encounter a rare code. Good post!

What exactly is an "overdump"?

What exactly is an "overdump"?

It's a Rom that has been made to big. For example a Rom may be 4MB and when someone dumps it into a file they made it as an 8MB file. So you have 4MB of wasted space filled with 00's or FF's in most cases, blank space.

Most rom tools can trim the overdump and remove those unneeded 00's and FF's.
