Editing FF7.exe. How?

[Ragna]

Well, here is my question, I thought I need to use a "Hex Editor" and I was editing FFText Style in the FF7.exe but, when i saved the changes and i was ready to test the results one window appeared and said: "This is not a valid win32 application" (even the FF7.exe icon changed into no icon) and so, i dont know what really i have to do with that, but, I really need to translate those FFText Style in Spanish version of the game.. well, i hope you can give me some help^^
 
Thanks in advance^^

P.D.: I really was searching on the forums but, I didnt find anything...

Well you can't add new thing's i mean it

You can only save over what's there

Yes i know, but, even doing this it says the same message..^^U

He writes "This is program will not run in DOS".
Be carefull that your text editor isn't messing up your exe.
I had one text editor (probably a setting issue) that ruined an option file when I edited it and I noticed when I saved it that the size had increased.
But when I used it in another user account it ran fine

So, what Hex Editor you think can "work" with it..?

My guess is that you made the EXE larger moving a lot of pointers around.

You bet  Im sorry i was doing something bad but now i think im doing well, thank you^^

Pd: Exist any "trick" for making a bit more larger but even run the game well? Well im gonna "explain" better, i have one word that is "MAGIA" but i want to translate as "HABILIDADES" (for example lol) is there any chance to do that and save it correctly?


Thank you ^^
