Netslum BBS

For the life of me I cannot get this thing to work. I got the disc authentication taken care of but it cannot be patched or hex edited to connect to a.dothackers.org without it crashing. The WV AreaServerExplorer program patches do nothing and it either cannot or WILL not replace the IP for me. I have tried manually using HXD but as I said, it crashes. Any ideas? This is to get the Japanese to be able to play.
Here's a link to the JPAS. To be clear, this one is unpatched and so does not crash. It boots just fine just does not connect to the lobby.
