At the risk of exposing my hex skills which I've managed to keep "under the radar" here for over two years, LOL, hex editing is easy - I can help you out with code snippets if you want. Although, I think the text-based files would be your best target for the first release as they are the easiest from a modder's perspective to change.

Off the top of my head, I am not sure what other files would benefit. I haven't really looked at SH4 yet. But I'm sure one of the active SH4 modders would have an idea by now.

Is scene.dat used in SH4? It was a biggie for changing in SH3.

Exactly what I was about to write. JSGME is not just for SH3, or SH4, it's written as dynamically and generically as possible to work with as many games as possible.
