The hex patcher

Advanced

So what's this fancy hex patcher for?

It's used to insert custom assembly hacks.

What is assembly?

For Cave Story, it is an instruction set, I won't go into much more detail about it.

Now, if you've seen someones custom hack before, it'll look like this:

40b36d

83 c1 11

40b3a7

83 c1 11

This is a relatively smaller hack, but it's a pretty good one.

This hack, will allow Cave Story to run at 60 FPS.

Ok, cool, how do I put it into my mod?

Go to the action tab, and click on the hex patcher, it should look like this:

Now, you need to put 0x before your offset number, and then put down the hex pairs on the next line down.

The numbers in blue are the offset numbers

The numbers in red are the hex pairs

In case your having trouble with this, i'll show you what is SHOULD look like:

And now, Cave Story should run at 60 FPS.

A good way to tell if it actually worked, is to jump, you'll see that the player character's jump is alot less "floaty".

Oh, yes, credits to GIRakaCHEEZER for discovering this hack.
