It also repurpose the "block Magitek" flag in the monster data for the same purpose ($CF0014 bit 3). Although you can't set Freeze on a monster in the original game, that option could be useful for a spell or a rage that set Freeze. The bank $C2 hack use free space at $C26480 and the EX hack use some at $EEAF01. At most antifreeze-XX-nh will use 44 ($2C) bytes of free space and the character or monster only hacks use about half that amount. Those free space offsets can be changed in a ASM file by changing the offset of the "seek" macro call. To assemble the hack use bass v14 by typing a command such as "bass -o rom.smc antifreeze-C2.asm".
