Is there any good tutorial or guide on how to use hex-editors? for like checking out and editing small homebrew programs?
i know its a heavy topic but i would like to understand the basics, like hexediting for dummies or something.

try experimenting with cheat engine, hex is just a counting system, like binary or base-10

agreed cheat engine is a good start there is a YouTube channel called live overflow that has lots of great videos on editing hex values to change Pokemon saves on GBA roms, reverse engineering GBA emulators, and lots of other cool stuff, and he talks about the names of the programs he uses.

If you're looking for a general purpose hex editor on Windows I'd suggest "HxD" it's a bit old but works great!
