  70. that in the "Customizations" section below.
  71.  
  72. ========================================================================================
  73. Customization
  74. ========================================================================================
  75.  
  76. Additional modifications are provided here in the form of single hex edits.
  77. If you've never replaced hexadecimal data in a file before, here's some basic instructions:
  78.  
  79. 1. Download "HxD" (https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/)
  80. 2. After patching, open the modified BIN in HxD
  81. 3. Press "Ctrl+G" to jump to an address. Check "Hex" mode, offset from beginning.
  82. Paste the addresses listed, and you should find the original values I'm providing.
  83. 4. Paste the modified hex data with "Ctrl+B" (while Ctrl+V is a "add-paste", Ctrl+B
  84. is a "overwrite-paste"). Make sure the hexadecimal side of the window is selected
  85. (the middle column), and the pointer is at the right address (check the status bar
  86. at the bottom).
  87. 5. Repeat 3 and 4 for all the changes you want to make.
  88. 6. Save and exit.
  89. 7. To avoid problems on certain emulators and original hardware, always run your modified
  90. PS1 BINs through the EDC/ECC recalculator (https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1264/)
  91.  
  92. When there's multiple entries listed, you need to modify all of them for the change to
  93. work correctly.
  94.  
  95. Also note that these addresses will probably not match an unmodified Mega Man X5 BIN.
