Important Note

When adding a new game version, ensure it is included in the List of Supported Games using the existing format.
Your PR will not be merged until this is done.

JSON Naming

Each Spice2x patch must have a separate JSON file for each game version.
The file must be named according to specific guidelines to be recognized by the Spice2x 'Import from URL' feature.

A Python script, peinfo.py, is available to help you determine the correct name for your game's DLL file.

Creating Spice2x Patches

To support a new game version, you need to create its Spice2x patches from scratch.
Hexadecimal signature matching can help in porting patches between different game versions.
This method is not foolproof and patches could break if the game changes too much, but it's still highly effective for MOST patches.

You can use the Python script find_sp2x_patches.py to facilitate this process.
