Prince of Persia

Just understand, I don't want to be a spammer
Is there a code converter from hex to this format
I was bullied in another forum, you are almost all good guys, I want your help please
I really need it, I want to be a software engineer

I read the full thread. I don’t think that the dos tips forum is the place to ask for help for something like the issue you were having because the forum is about processing batch and not about editing the hex codes of DOS executables (Prince.exe).
It’s about the language used in Windows command prompt (cmd.exe). So, I’m afraid that’s not the forum where your problem can be solved.

Thanks, Do you know about any code converter?

Why have you not switched to a better hex editor.
You yourself even made a video tutorial how to use one.

Thanks, I will not insist anymore
I want to make my own games with edit.com and I can only learn hex coding and almost nobody uses MS-DOS language
I want to start to make Prince of Mexico at once
I still need to convert from hex to MS-DOS
(I want to make Prince of Mexico run in Dosbox)

Internally, computers only work with binary, that is ones (1) and zeros (0).
Let's take, for example, 8-bit value "01001101".
In hex(adecimal) the representation of "01001101" is "4D".
In ASCII the representation of "01001101" is "M".

You are asking for conversion of hex (e.g. "4D") to ASCII (e.g. "M").
But those are already the same value, only the representation is different.
Hex "4D" is "01001101", and ASCII "M" is also "01001101".

You are still using EDIT.COM, which is a very old and inflexible program that cannot display hex.
So, stop using EDIT.COM.
Using EDIT.COM for manipulating binary files (such as PRINCE.EXE) is trying to hammer a nail with a pillow.
Modern editors can display both hex and ASCII at the same time.
If you are stubborn and keep using EDIT.COM, nobody can help you.

Trying to use ASCII instead of hex won't work anyway.
Because many ASCII characters are almost impossible to input, such as control characters.
An example is 8-bit value "00001000", which is "08" in hex, but is a Backspace(!) in ASCII.
You aren't going to input Backspace.

Also, this has nothing to do with "MS-DOS".
Hex and ASCII are used on both Windows and on MS-DOS.

That's not how games are made.
Not even MS-DOS games are made with EDIT.COM.
You need to use a programming language, and a program that can convert your code to binary.

“If you are stubborn and keep using EDIT.COM, nobody can help you”
You don't need to slur me, calm down

But how can I display the program maker for MS-DOS?
I insist in using an old OS to make my future games
But Now it's clear that I shouldn't use edit.com

Programming is not easy.
Programming games might be particularly difficult.
Programming games for (or on) old OS'es, especially with graphics, is certainly extra difficult.
Even with the few accessible game engines that work with DOS, such as Allegro 4, it's difficult.

What would you say to someone who has never painted before, wants to paint, but insists on painting just the Sistine Chapel ceiling?

What kind of games would you want to make?

Dominoes, Pool, Match 3, a game like Mario Bros and other like PoP
One day I will learn, thanks
You just wrote it “programming is not easy” but it's not impossible
And if you call me “stubborn” is because I really want to learn and I am a little overexcited and impatient but you're right
Thanks for asking

How can I find the program maker for MS-DOS?
Or do you know where?
I will pay the price if it's necessary

I recommend taking a C Programming class where you output to and accept user inputs from the console.
