Tutorial: What is CoilSnake?

What is CoilSnake?

CoilSnake is perhaps the single most important tool in your hacking arsenal, as it allows you to decompile ROM files to an organized directory which will contain (almost) everything from the game, including PSI power lists, enemy statistics, artwork and more.

The main advantage of CoilSnake over PK Hack is that it does not directly modify the ROM file: this means that the chance that the ROM will get corrupted is a lot less. It also gives you more freedom over your hacking, letting you choose your own image editors, text editors, and so on, while preserving its text data in human-readable YAML files.

The latest version of CoilSnake is available for download at the CoilSnake website: https://pk-hack.github.io/CoilSnake
