Hack description

This is an extremely simple text swap, that replaces the name of the Pirate building "Plantation" with "Storehouse" (used to be "Hide-Aways"). The patcher finds the former name to be both quite offensive in how it is thrown around so casually (and by Brits and Americans, no less) and extremely ill-fitting for pirates, anyway.

A note for anyone else working on this game: the text seems to all be ASCII encoded (A = 41, a = 61 etc.). So no need to come up with a Thingy Table or anything, most hex editors will just show the text automatically.

CREDITS

Thanks to the creators of Translhextion (https://retrohackers.net/utility-details.php?id=219/), an amazing general-purpose hex editor, with a great font that is easy on the eyes.

Thanks to whoever came up with the 4GB Patch, which was needed to apply to Translhextion so it could open a full NDS Rom without crashing.

Thanks to Delta Patcher, which allowed for the creation of this XDelta file.
