One thing you can do with the 1b file is generate a FSC code for map updates.
Download the mega link at the top of
this post, ignore everything in the post and almost everything in the rar.
All you need is one file from that archive titled: "fsc.exe" to be placed in whatever directory you have your "a.hex" file in.
Then from the C:\> prompt in that directory just type something like:
fsc a.hex 0x2D 0xFF > code.txt
To create a file called code.txt in that directory which will then contain your FSC code.
For other regions/systems, type the following:

Alternately, you can skip the 1b file stuff and
just buy FSC codes here.
