+
+  Example overrides.json:
+  ```json
+  [
+      {
+        "key": "folder_intro_howto",
+        "japaneseText": "Let's learn how to play this game!",
+        "japaneseFontType": 0
+    }
+  ]
+  ```
+  
+- If you want to use another path, you can do so like this `./merge.py --overrides custom_overrides.json`
+
