SimFarm is a pretty fun game in the Sim franchise, dating back to 1993. I like it and its DOS version is available for download on Abandonia.com, so...

*drumroll*

I hacked it!

Anyway, most of my hacking utility's features are graphical. I was thinking about making something silly like a Pokémon Farm out of it. Discuss. :-P 

(I figured someone else here might have played SimFarm and would like to play around with this.)

	No, this was actually my first file hacking attempt. I did some memory hacking two or three times before (Metroid: Zero Mission, for example), but this is it for DOS. :P Edit: I got bored... so I grew candy canes and Christmas trees (with ornaments)!

	Hey man, This is a fantastic tool. Been looking all my life to edit this game and change crops and stuff. However, when activating the program and clicking extract or collect megadata I get :"Run-time error '76':Path no found". Any suggestions on how to correct for this? Crop editing seems to work though Thanks for your help, Ponti

	Make a folder named "data" in the same path as the hacking program, and copy both MEGADATA files to it.
