File(s) you'll need:
- ReFixed-vx.xx.zip: https://github.com/TopazTK/KH-ReFixed/releases (scroll down to the "Assets" of the most recent post)
- (optional) DualAudioReq.kh2pcpatch: https://bit.ly/DualAudioKH2
- (optional) DualAudioReq.bbspcpatch: https://bit.ly/DualAudioBBS
- (optional) KHPCPatchManager.exe v1.2.0+: https://github.com/AntonioDePau/KHPCPatchManager/releases

For those more comfortable with text tutorials:
STEPS:
1. With File Explorer, navigate to your *game directory* (by default, "C:\Program Files\Epic Games\KH_1.5_2.5", but could be somewhere else if you installed it in a different folder)
2. Back up your *vanilla* (unmodded) game .exe's any way you prefer (I recommend renaming them with a "_old" suffix, so that "KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX.exe" becomes "KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX_old.exe")
Files to back up:
- KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX.exe
- KINGDOM HEARTS II FINAL MIX.exe
- KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep FINAL MIX.exe
3. Open "ReFixed-vx.xx.zip" with your archiving software. Inside will be 3 folders: "Birth by Sleep", "Kingdom Hearts", and "Kingdom Hearts II"
4. In your archiving software, open the game's folder(s) you want to play with Re:Fixed, and drag the file to the *game directory*. This is when you decide whether you want to use Dual Audio or not, indicated by the filename including "with Dual Audio".
5. In File Explorer, rename the new file to the *vanilla* filename (e.g., "Kingdom Hearts II - Final Mix [v1.0.0.2].exe" becomes "KINGDOM HEARTS II FINAL MIX.exe").
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each game.

*IF YOU DECIDED TO USE DUAL AUDIO, FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP. OTHERWISE, YOU'RE DONE!*

7. Select and drag a Dual Audio patch (e.g., "DualAudioReq.kh2patch") onto "KHPCPatchManager.exe". This process will take a while, and may even hang at certain points. This is normal, and should take about 10-20+ minutes depending on the speed of your installed drive. Repeat for the other games if so desired.
