FF7 Tools / Re: [PSX/PC] Field Editor - Makou Reactor (1.7.2)

Makou can edit ISO files, but it doesn't recompute CRCs. On emulators like ePSXe it is fine, but like you said in accurate emulators maybe not. I'm sure you can find ISO repair softwares to regenerate CRCs sections correctly, according the ISO9660 specifications.
Or someone maybe have skills in this area and will propose a fix for Makou Reactor?

Hey, good news! I was able to find a tool to fix this problem:
https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1264/
For what it's worth, the source is included in the download and it's licensed under GPL. Not sure if that's something you would be able to incorporate or not.

As for my comment on simplicity, my intention was to compliment how intuitive you've managed a program that covers so many functions. It's really impressive!
Looking forward to the next release,

Forgive me if I am reading the WIP changelog incorrectly, but have you addressed the issue described by DLPB on page 29 where opening and saving a PSX disc's bin file - even without making any changes - causes the file no longer load in accurate emulators (i.e. Mednafen)? For what it's worth, I can vouch that this error still occurs on both the newest continuous and stable releases, and I am unsure if it was due to "LGP saving corruption error" or a likewise error that you have already fixed in the upcoming release.

Otherwise, I would like very much to thank you for the creation of this tool. Its simplicity has allowed me, with abysmal programming knowledge, to port a few simplistic fixes from The Reunion mod to the PSX Japanese Int. version in little time (which has been surprisingly entertaining!).
