==How to use==
 
===FFTPatcher===
 
*Select "File/New PSX-PSX Patch" or load your FFT Image with "PSP-PSX/Open Patched ISO..."
 
*Navigate through the tabs and make your changes
 
*For Gameshark/cw cheats, check the corresponding tab. Not all data edited by FFTPatcher can generate a Gameshark code! The only way to make sure you play with all your changes is by playing a patched version of the game
 
*Select "PSX-PSP/Patch ISO..." and select your FFT Image
 
 
===FFTacText===
 
*Select "File/Import PSX-PSP ISO..." and select your FFT Image
 
*Under "Text", select which file that has the text you want to edit.
 
*Make use of QuickEdit! It's there to modify the text of many files at once, so it is extremely important for consistency. (For example, Ability Names are stored in 10 different locations on the CD!)
 
*There is no easy way to know where is which text is where, but you can see everything in a big text file after saving to a .fftext file ("File/Save .fftext...") and using ctrl+f (find), you should easily find what you want. Save and reload the file when needed ("File/Load .fftext...")
 
*Save your project as .fftactext for future edits and use. Reloading a text patched FFT Image tends to break things and should be avoided.
 
*Select "ISO/Patch ISO..." and select your FFT Image
 
 
===ShishiSpriteEditor===
 
*Select "File/Open ISO..." and select your FFT Image
 
*If it asks you to restructure, if you are planning to make actual changes to that FFT Image, you should restructure.
 
*Edit as you wish. ShishiSpriteEditor saves on the fly so there is no need to manually save.
 
 
===FFTOrgASM===
 
*A list of hacks should appear as you start the program. If not, make sure the .xml is in the same folder as the program, then click "Reload"
 
*Check which hacks you would like to apply to your FFT Image and make sure to enter the custom values if it allows to
 
*Click "Patch ISO..." and select your FFT Image
 
 
==Known bugs==
 
*FFTactext might glitch data when importing text from an already FFTactext patched image.
 
*ShishiSpriteEditor will not import/extract properly a lot of graphics (other than sprites)
 
*FFTOrgASM will fail to patch (without telling you) after you patch a first time. To patch again you need to restart the program completely
