What's new version 1.7:
Made a new page where you can adjust D-Counter percentage cost for: D-Dive, D-Charge, turn in battle as a human, turn in battle as a dragon, and walking out of battle.  Also updated the hacking notes.

What's new version 1.6a:
Added a lot more weapon skills to the list (on the "Weapon/Item" page), and a second button that includes comments on what the weapon skills do.  Also added a new button on the D-Counter page that explains a couple cautions when using the "Disable D-Counter" option.  Many thanks to Tiael from RHDN who supplied all the information used in this update.

What's new version 1.6:
Added an option to turn off anything that adds to your D-Counter percentage.  Added instructions on how to edit how much is added to your D-Counter percentage when using Dragon Ryu's abilities (Vortex, Hurricane, or Twister).  Fixed some names in the Skills list.  Fixed a small bug on the shop page where it would not always tell you what type of shop it was (Weapon or Item/Skill).  Updated the hacking notes.

What's new version 1.5:
Added 8 missing Lin skills, added X Blade and Twin Wake skills, added all enemy skills.

What's new version 1.4:
Can now edit all character skills, including strength and combo AP cost (in the "Skills/AP" page).  Can also edit shield skills.  Updated the hacking notes.

What's new version 1.3:
Added the rest of the shops in the shop section, added editing for what skills weapons have (in the "Weapons/Items" page), updated the hacking notes. 

What's new version 1.2:
Fixed a bug that could change some equipment or item stats unexpectedly, or cause an error with the editor (Range adjustment and others).  Added a few new pages for Skills, AP cost, Shops, and Hacking notes.  You can turn off AP cost for movement in battles, can edit AP cost for Skills in battle, can edit what's for sale in some of the shops.  Will add the rest of the shops in a future update, but wanted to get this version out quickly because of the bug fixes.  

What's new version 1.1:
Added new pages for Weapons, Items, Armor, and Shields.  Can now edit any piece of equipment or item in the game, including attack, who can equip, weight, cost, range, accuracy, magic, defense, movement, damage, HP restored, targeting, explosion radius, etc.  Have also updated the hacking notes (included in the zip file) which includes detailed technical info on these new additions.


This program lets you edit lots of stuff in your Breath of Fire 5 game, and you can then patch the changes into your ISO/ROM.

Editor is for the USA version with a serial number of SLUS-20499, and the exact name of the ISO file I'm using is: Breath of Fire - Dragon Quarter (USA).iso

I've included some hacking notes in the zip file.

IMPORTANT:
If you're using this editor with a previously saved game, make sure it's an "in-game" save file, and NOT an emulator save state.  A pre-existing emulator save state will often not show any changes you patched into your ISO, but a previously saved game that uses an "in-game" save file will almost always work.

When patching, you can decide if you want it to create a new ISO or not.  If you do make a new ISO, the program will automatically add "Patched" to the end of your file name, which makes it easy to remember which file was patched, although you can name the new file anything you want as long as it's not the same as the original file name.  This keeps your original ISO safe.

There are some Help/info buttons in the editor that should answer any questions.

Shouldn't need any additional files if you're using Windows (uses the .net framework).
