[CDG5] System 7.1 hacking

[Elliot Nunn]

Yes to all. I just inserted the output of my Cube-E build (plus some fixed-up resources) into a 9.2.2 System Folder. Then I started hacking the Cube-E source to spam the NK log via an F-trap, and kept disabling things till it got to the Process Manager. Then I got stuck because the Process Manager was calling the ROM InitWindows, which was trying to call the RAM Help Manager (Balloon Help), which wasn’t properly installed because I’d tanked the Linked Patches.
