I've been using a hex editor from 2001 (Translhextion 1.6c) for most binary viewing/editing. It's the least buggy/annoying free hex editor I've found for Windows, but it still has some dumb bugs (like moderately small filesize limits, random crash bugs, etc).

Does anybody know of a better free hex editor? I mostly want something stable and easily usable, but also preferably with support for displaying contents using a replacement table (Translhextion calls this feature "Thingy table view", after an old DOS editor called Thingy).

Also, I'm on Windows most of the time, so something that runs on Windows is preferable.

Just realizing "Thingy view" is basically a custom character set.

@Raspberryfloof I've been using HxD recently (mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/) and it seems Okay so far; not sure it does the thingy-table stuff though
