Quality of life mod

Hello psxdev community, I'm Velast and I have a problem that only someone familiar with psx hacking/programming could help me with so I figured this should be a good place to ask for help. Some of my favorite PS1 games( Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII and especially Xenogears), cause great physical discomfort when I play for an extended period of time. For those unfamiliar with these games; whenever you land a critical hit, the screen flashes brightly. Unfortunately, this effect is very taxing on my eyes and causes severe eye strain. Xenogears is the worst offender; the screen flashes whenever you hit an enemy, critical or not. So my question is; is there someone who'd be willing to help me out with this by disabling that screen flash effect? If you have a Paypal account, I will gladly donate, but please keep in mind I'm still in college so as you can imagine, my budget is limited. Playing Xenogears pain-free would be a dream come true!

Coding that out would be tricky, but I assume they have a separate function jump which simply flashes the screen. You'd have to dissemble the EXE, set a breakpoint and find what routine is responsible for those flashes.

Thank you for your response, Shadow! Believe me, I'd do that right know, but I don't know the first thing about coding and unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to learn it on my own.
