hello i need your help to hex edit my 1st_read.bin to display english with correct spaces between the letters. (the bin is from japan game) so is possible using a hexeditor to change for example this d r e m c a s t to this dreamcast? and what are the values i need to find? and what are the new i should put. thanks in advance

Hex editing binaries in that way can become tricky. You can find those values, but deleting the values for spaces could break the binary or cause it to become unstable, because in turn the offsets for the data after your modification would be altered

So the approach I would attempt is if it's

D()R()E()A()M()C()A()S()T
You should make you change to
DREAMCAST()()()()()()()()

Meaning, rather than deleting the spaces which in turn changes the offsets for the entire binary, move the data instead to keep the binary intact

You can use Hex Editor Neo if you're on Windows

One other thing is, if you need to delete something, don't delete the hex offset. Just change its hex to "00"

modding 1ST_READ.BIN its a pain i can tell you that. thanks for the advice
