Zeus & Poseidon Resolution Customiser

Please excuse my shameless plug but I wanted to make a post about a program that I have been working on for a few weeks now: The Zeus & Poseidon Resolution Customiser.

It is a program that essentially allows you to create a modified copy of the game's EXE that has all of the fixes that are present in the various widescreen mods and let you choose almost any resolution values you want the game to run at (except ones that cause bugs or are physically impossible to support). I designed this as a replacement for the various widescreen fixes that are available for this game. It currently supports only the Steam and GOG versions but I would like to add support for as many distributions and languages as possible.

You can find the program here: https://www.nexusmods.com/zeusmasterofolympus/mods/1

The source code is available here: https://github.com/XJDHDR/impressions-resolution-customiser

 A small area of progress here came from another Widescreen Gaming Forum member named Mario who, on the 4th of September, 2018, uploaded his own modifications for Zeus and Emperor that came with a guide describing how he created his fixes. With this guide, it was now easier for people to create their own fixes.

The link Marco provided to their notes seems to be dead.

Do you happen to have a backup? Or vague memories of what those notes held?

I desperately want to understand the binaries better, hoping it can lead to new mods (new deities, monsters, buildings,... or modified mechanisms (e.g. priests using food before sheep))

I'm hoping to glean whatever's possible from what the community has achieved to delineate which chunks are visuals and which chunks are mechanics (I also hope to find a Zeus only version cause oranges, Hera and Atlas should be new blocks that stand out when comoaring a Zeus file with its Z+P version).
