How do I redirect the Splash URL Page

I have been looking far in wide on how to change the url page and redirect that page to one of my own. For example when you open up Talking Time Brothers it goes to their own page and not Nintendo.com. I have extensively gone through the hard coding, and have even gone through all 26K lines of the coding in Hexcode which actually I found something really neat. In the hexcode 67f80, this is where you can change the name when you open the game to whatever you want as long as you use an equal amount of letters. But I digress, I have gone through the code, and have gone through a decompiler. I cannot find the hidden http document that redirects the url address to one of my own choosing. It can be done, I asked STTB on their Facebook page but I have gotten no answers. If anyone can post some kind of walkthrough on how to do that it would be much appreciated. So when you open up the smbx.exe the file opens to the nintendo page how can I change this????

You need to download the latest version of SMBX (1.3.0.1), where the splash page problem has been fixed.

Keep in mind we don't offer any support for hacked executable files.

I don't want a Fix I want to redirect it to a website of my choosing, I am still looking through the hexcoding for the info to change the URL address. So I have downloaded the newest version how did they change the splash page to one of their choosing how is it done. It's the million dollar question that nobody seems to know.....As a programmer I am stumped that I can't find it.

They have did it with Resorce Hacker, I think.

Don't try resource managers. Use hex editors instead.

Open SMBX.exe in your hex editor and find mentions of supermariobrothers.org (or this site if it's 1.3.0.1) and the splash screen, then edit the URL to whatever you like. Be careful, as not typing the address properly (as the original) will corrupt your executable and make it not work.

EDIT: just give me the URL and I'll try to change the executable for you.

I have found a few mentions of this website in the smbx.exe but after changing them all I have gotten no success, perhaps if you could tell me what line of code its on or make an example of one that just goes to google or facebook.com and I will download yours to see what you did. Trying to learn this one, oh great master show me your ways : )
