Hello! I have been making repros for awhile but I am stumped. I am trying to split an RBI baseball hack that has 64k PRG and 32K CHR. Everytime I try to split I get an error message saying file won't split. I have tried several different programs all with the same result. I'm pretty sure the mapper should be TLROM which requires 2 chips. Please help! Thanks so much!!

Have you tried an hex editor? Since the "tools" won't do it, just do it yourself. Simply open the ROM, ignore the first 16 bytes (iNES header) and grab as many bytes as you want for PRG and CHR. You can copy/paste/save or delete/save, it's up to you.

Yeah that really can't fail on you assuming you grab the correct proper number of bytes and everything. Check out the .nes file documents here and you should be able to figure out whats what.

I separated it on mine, it worked perfectly. And mine should give an idea of the error if for _some_ reason it won't split. Just hope you know how to use the batch file. Or just put the ROM in there, rename it "ExampleROM" and then run the batch file. All output will be on the command prompt. The source is included if you want to change stuff with it.

Thanks alot for the responses guys!!!!
Did it work for you? 
3gengames - your program worked like a charm. Your the man! Thanks
Sweet, awesome. I wonder what was wrong with your other tools? I think the original ReadNES my program used didn't handle the file correctly. Possibly what's wrong with those ones, too. Possibly opening in the wrong mode. Also, if you want to use that, you can also just drag a file onto it and it'll split it in case you don't need to see what the board uses. Quicker to use.
