Sonic HackingWiz Pro was a hacking utility created by GerbilSoft, consisting of several sub-utilities.
Sonic & Knuckles Lock-On ROM Creator
The first utility in the SHWP series wasn't actually part of the series. It was a simple Sonic & Knuckles Lock-On ROM Creator. It did the job, but was very slow due to poor coding techniques. Two versions of this program were written, the latter with a faster combiner (but still not as fast as combining with a utility such as `cat`).
The Lock-On ROM Creator did have some useful features, such as the addition of the 256k UPMEM for Knuckles in Sonic 2 and ROM "cleaning" for Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Some versions of the Sonic & Knuckles ROM had a few bad bytes, causing lock-on to fail. The cleaning function fixed these bad bytes, so lock-on would work properly.
