### Using unsupported homebrew
If you would still like to use unsupported homebrew apps, you'll have to copy them manually. To do so, perform these steps:
1. Copy the entire root folder into the `Apps` folder on your target drive.
2. Find and copy the path of the entry point.
3. Open a terminal window and construct the following command:
- **Command:** `"<path_to_folder_of_BadBuilder.exe>\Work\Extract\BadUpdate Tools\XePatcher\XexTool.exe" -m r -r a "<path_to_entry_point>"`
- **Example:** `"C:\BadBuilder\Work\Extract\BadUpdate Tools\XePatcher\XexTool.exe" -m r -r a "H:\Apps\Aurora 0.7b.2 - Release Package\Aurora.xex"`
