Hex Editing 12-hour requirement out of FF9

[rapiermother]

Does anyone know how to hex edit a FF9 rom such that the game time has no bearing on whether or not the Excalibur II shows up in Memoria (i.e. it will always show up until you obtain it)?

If you have the ability to play a modded ISO, you also have the ability to use a memory editor some sort (including burned Gameshark CDX), in which case it's easier to just edit the clock to < 12 hours.
