It works, coooool! And UltralEditor is better for editing if you've installed it.

Had to disable the Rational option otherwise it won't find it.
There's also the replace option, don't have to type it out.

It worked, thank you very much.
I also had to disable Rational to find 0F B6 51 05 83 F2 01 and make the replacement.

Hi friend.

Disable Rational and then click to search. You will find 0F B6 51 05 83 F2 01, and after that, replace it with C6 41 05 01 B2 00 90.

@khaihkd
If you have sed, it should be enough to replace the path to the executable file.

do you know how to activate on macOS?

macOS: use homebrew gnu-sed (gsed) then

sudo gsed -i 's/\x0F\xB6\x51\x05\x83\xF2\x01/\xC6\x41\x05\x01\xB2\x00\x90/' /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text

../sedkSVsli isn't a bin we're targeting here. Your target is ../sublime_text
@sovedus recommends you make a backup of this file before using sed/gsed. Which on macOS you'd use the following two commands in terminal:
1: sudo cp /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text.bak
2: sudo gsed -i 's/\x0F\xB6\x51\x05\x83\xF2\x01/\xC6\x41\x05\x01\xB2\x00\x90/' /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text

If u want to use it on windows, just open Powershell as administrator and copy this:

  1. copy "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe" "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe.bak"
  2. $file = "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe"
    $bytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($file)

$search = [byte[]](0x0F, 0xB6, 0x51, 0x05, 0x83, 0xF2, 0x01)
$replace = [byte[]](0xC6, 0x41, 0x05, 0x01, 0xB2, 0x00, 0x90)

for ($i = 0; $i -le $bytes.Length - $search.Length; $i++) {
$match = $true
for ($j = 0; $j -lt $search.Length; $j++) {
if ($bytes[$i + $j] -ne $search[$j]) { $match = $false; break }
}
if ($match) {
[Array]::Copy($replace, 0, $bytes, $i, $replace.Length)
break
}
}

[System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($file, $bytes)
