hack4u is a program to edit the save games of Ultima: Quest of the Avatar for the NES. You can edit any of the three save games in the SRAM file.

The interface should be pretty easy to understand, and there's more information in the readme.

Basically, it's a cheat program for Ultima: Quest of the Avatar. All you need is a save game in an SRAM file (*.sav) and you're set.

The Linux binary requires GTK+ 2.0.
