I think that there are at least two things that you need to do:

1. Learn about the build system, specifically sources and dirs files. So
lets look at the ARMINTEGRATOR EBOOT directory. In it are a bunch of c and
h files, which you could modify, but more interesting is the sources file.
It tells us which files are built and which lib files are linked. With a
little bit of imagination and some searching we can find the source for
those libs, if they are available. Now, you should only modify the files in
the eboot directory, so if you want to modify the rest you should copy them
to the eboot directory and modify the sources file to exclude the lib and
include the new files.

2. Define what you want to modify. If you are more specific about what you
want to modify, we might be able to direct you better.
