You can open .MB3 files and edit it with text editor if you want.
But be careful to the character code of the text editor.

Some text editors mistakes the character code of .MB3 file for UTF-7.
when you open the MB3 data with text editor, see the first line.
if it does not start with "+MBE_DATA", it means that the text editor misidentified the character code.

It is the screenshot of Sakura Editor opened MB3.

Reopen this file as UTF-8 before editing.
