Converter - LAMP-Platform/LAMP GitHub Wiki
The Converter is a small tool that can convert between Hexadecimal (HEX) and Decimal (DEC) numbers.
Hexadecimal
In Computer Science and ROM-Hacking, binary data is often represented as HEX, where 1 Byte equals 2 HEX digits. LAMP predominantly uses HEX notation. If unsure of the number base being used, it's safe to assume it is HEX unless stated otherwise. To assist users unfamiliar with HEX, LAMP includes a Converter tool capable of converting between HEX and DEC. This tool uniquely includes a DEC input for ease of use.
Converting
To convert a number:
- HEX to DEC: Enter a HEX value into the
Hexadecimal
box; the corresponding DEC value will automatically appear in theDecimal
box. - DEC to HEX: Input a DEC value into the
Decimal
box; the corresponding HEX value will automatically be populated in theHexadecimal
box.
Docking
The Converter can be integrated directly into LAMP's Main Window:
- Docking the Converter: Select
View -> Converter
from the main window menu to dock the Converter under the Tileset display. - Undocking: To remove the Converter, select
View -> Converter
again from the main menu.
The functionality of the Converter remains unchanged whether it is docked or standalone.
