Hi! I'm new here and would really like to try this out. The only thing is that I have no experience with coding or anything of that nature. Could you help me out? I'm using windows 10 and I have ps3 portal, if that helps any.

I forked this from windows code. Doing a quick google search turns up this URL... http://www.maxconsole.com/maxcon_forums/threads/188959-Skylander-Editor-v2-0-released I made this tool to work on OSX and the usb library I used also supports Linux. People have ported this code to Linux. If you have no experience with building source code, you would benefit from having a binary version. However I can only provide an X86/X64 (possibly PPC) OSX binary. I do not have a windows build environment to attempt to build it, nor do I know if all the needed code is still present to build this on windows. The only way I could help would be to recommend installing vmware (or similar) and a hackintosh environment. This is probably a bit overkill for just a single tool. Sorry I can't help more.

The link you provided, you wouldn't happen to know how to make that editor work do you?

I have made a few upgrades to this code over the years and had it compiled on Windows. I think I broke the USB comm though to get it to compile. I was using another GUI tool to dump the data and this one to make edits. I am trying to figure out how to get it to compile and be fully functional on windows. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

UPDATE: I think I got it figured out. Does XCode on the mac use the Makefile? Had to heavily modify that and use the correct hid.c file for windows. Now if I can figure out how to use Github without making a mess of things maybe I will post it.
