Edit the “MAGICPCH.A22” file with a texteditor (Notpad++ for example) and change the name or something, just to start with. Keep in mind the amount of characters have to remain the same.

Now you need to split MAGICPCH.NES file into multiple ROM files (https://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/PC10_ROM-Images). I don’t really have a proper way of doing this, but a HEX editor like notepad++ will do the job. You need to cut the last 8192 bytes, then cut the last 32 bytes from that file.
