We recommend using the hex editor 010 because it supports Shift-JIS encording.
Load the entire Japanese ISO, or the patched one to make sure you do not attempt to implement already implemented strings, into 010 then go to View -> Character Set and set this to Japanese (Shift_JIS), it is inside the International drop-down.
To perform a simple string edit, do the following but make sure not to roll over into the null terminator!
Text($00000000, "Our new text!")
If you are using 010 and you right click the starting character on the right side of the hex view, you can copy the address by clicking Select Range and copying where it starts.
If there happens to be some string data left before the null terminator, do the following (including into the null termination)
fill 4- The number after the operation is the byte count
For consistency sake, we recommend doing it all on one line like so
Text($00000000, "Our new text!") ; fill 4
