 ## FDGH Files
 
 FDGH is a file format used in many HAL Laboratory games since Kirby's Return to Dream Land, including most of the subsequent Kirby games as well as the first three BoxBoy games. It lists the files (models, animations, etc) that the game should load in advance of each level. If a level calls for enemies not named by the FDGH file, older games (such as Return to Dream Land) will tend to lag as the files are loaded during gameplay. Recent games can handle it better, but it's still best to set up the FDGH correctly.

+This is a comment added by the fixer here, uh,
+I'd recommend using this in combination with KirbyFDGH for complete scope of adding/removing custom objects to the available games cuz this program makes up for the main shortcoming that KirbyFDGH has, that being the inability to add/remove new reference strings to the list of existing ones. The reason this is useful is because while you can add custom assets to the games just fine it will definitely cause lag if they are not preloaded in a given room's FDGH bank (may also cause crashes and almost definitely worse effects on actual console if not). One thing to note about using these two programs together is that adding a string reference to any room via adding text in the XML then converting it back will add it to the list of strings available when the bank is loaded into KirbyFDGH, so if you just add it to one then it'll give you the option to add them to any other.
