It's still pretty experimental, but it *SHOULD* work no guarantees.
I accept no responsibility for any damages caused by using this program.
However if something does go wrong please post a bug report at http://forum.wiiking2.com/?topic=423.0

This was done entirely by trial and error, no ASM trickery was used :P

Perhaps an explanation of exactly what this does, so that players would know whether they would need it or not?

I'm going to make a wild guess and say that this fixes the checksum on save files, so if you edit a save file, the game won't reject it. Might I suggest a readme? And, assuming I guessed right, do different emulators use the same format for save files? And, assuming I'm right, is there a guide anywhere to the oracle games' save file format?

Yes snarfblam thats exactly what it does sorry about that, it was late and i wasn't thinking clearly.

And yes, all emulators do is dump the games SRAM to a file, so it's 1:1 to what you would find on the cartridge.
I'll stick a readme in my apps from now on.

And no, to my knowledge there isn't a save document anywhere.

EDIT:
I've updated the file, it now has a license.txt, readme.txt as well as the source code.
I've released it under GPLv3 so enjoy :D

MoN has one. I have it but I'm not sure if he wants me to release it.

Antidote

I stand corrected, don't release it unless he says It's okay. But i really would like to look at it.
