Changing endianness of a file?
a bit of a noob question:
how would I convert a file's endianness, so that it went from this
00 00 00 78 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 F8 00 00 00 18
to this:
78 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 F8 00 00 00 18 00 00 00
These are the first 0x10 bytes of two files.
I got these two files from versions of a game for two different consoles which use different endianness.
The files should be identical or very similar, but I can't compare them without making their endianness the same.
I've got python installed and have access to Windows 8 and Raspian.

You need a tool for that. Free Hex Editor Neo is said to be able to do it. But better be sure that the file only contains 4-byte integers.
