updated manual unlocking instructions because CI Hex Viewer's website is dead, and XVI32 hasn't been updated in years; also improved wording on opening the Mac app

You may want to read this if your Windows version of Oni is not covered by the above DLL (e.g. if you have an odd language version) or if you are on a Mac that cannot run the Intel build (if you're using an old PowerPC Mac, note that a Dev Mode-enabled version of The Omni Group's "Mac OS X port" is [[OMNI|HERE]]). | You may want to read this if your Windows version of Oni is not covered by the above DLL (e.g. if you have an odd language version) or if you are on a Mac that cannot run the Intel build (if you're using an old PowerPC Mac, note that a Dev Mode-enabled version of The Omni Group's "Mac OS X port" is [[OMNI|HERE]]). | ||

Ideally, it should allow you to search for sequences containing joker characters (that is, wildcards or bit masks). A well-known editor for Windows is [http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm XVI32], though it is not being actively developed. The open-source editor [https://imhex.werwolv.net/ ImHex] is built for Macs, Windows and Linux and is free and powerful; it can perform the search you need as well as offering file comparison so you can check your work afterward (open the original and edited binaries and choose View > Diffing, then select the open apps as Data Source A and B). | ||
