Some of you may have noticed the topic I made a while back promoting my S2 hack Sonic Eclipse 2. (currently available at my website) Anywho, I need some help hex editing. I cannot hex edit for anything. Note that I want to hack the rom not a savestate. The first hex editing thing I did was enable level select without a code and that was pure luck. I read on a S2 hacking guide the location of level select enable and on a S2 savestate hacking guide that you should change it to 01 to enable. Naturally this didn't seem like it would work as a rom and a savestate are different. But lo, it worked! That is the extent of my hex editing knowledge. I know how to count in decimal, hexidecimal, binary and I know all the little jargon like words and nybbles. Now on to my problem...

I am trying to change the lives icon in S2 to the lives icon in SCD. Why? I like the SCD one better, that's why. I have tried a couple things but nothing I've tried works. Can someone please direct me as to how I would do this? Thanks.
