YILEX - Yoshi's Island Level Extractor

Hey everyone, I've coded some small tool which allows you to extract levels from SNES and GBA Yoshi's Island ROMs and convert between versions. Please note, that a fully accurate conversion between SNES and GBA is not always possible, so there might be side effects in case you re-insert them to a different ROM. It's quite minimalistically, but it seems to work and that's what counts, I guess.

Somehow I don't think this won't be of any use for you people, but I'm posting it here anyways.

Note, that this program is only capable of extracting level data, it won't insert them! I might add an insertion feature later on (even if it's pretty pointless, since inserting by hand is a lot safer in general).

Also, I'm not taking any requests for other tools. I will code a comparison tool later on, but that will take some time, dunno if anyone of you can do something with it, but I will just publish them to help anyone who needs such "advanced" tools.




In case you need such an utility, you can download it here:
YILEX.exe

I'm not sure, but in case it won't run, probably the .NET framework is required.
Also, I've done comprehensive testing with this tool, but I don't warrant that it works perfectly.

By the way, I've coded it so, that it's incapable of extracting levels from my hack #w{=P}

It says it worked fine, but if you want to open a new ROM, you have to close the program and reopen it.
Yes, what's the problem with that?
Implementing a button to open a new file would be a lot of work, so I'll let it like this for now. I might add that later on, since my next tool uses a "file-open-while-running"-button.

Oh, I was just stating that, but you probably already knew. Well, at least it does something.
