    Hackmew, I must say.. Awesome programs :D
    I've been using most of them a lot, but I was wondering..
    Could you develop one that allows the user to edit the Oak speech at the start of the game? :/
    I know you can do it with Hex Editing or A-Text, but A-Text doesn't work for many people, and Hex Editing isn't easy (well, at least for me :P)

    Thanks :)

      Nice to see a tool update!
      It's nice to see that your new tools will be multiplatform.
      Just one thing: You should have FreeSpaceFinder.exe renamed to FSF.exe in the package, so that it works out-of-the-box with XSE.
      EDIT: Also, FSF can't load a ROM with another program using it...
      Basically, that takes away a lot of the usefulness.

      Thanks for commenting. About the name... Maybe I should have. But the new XSE will take care of the new .exe name. What about the "can't load" problem? Please be specific on the actual program(s). Also, please read carefully the first post.

      Hmm, let's see...
      Right now, the programs I have the ROM open in: AdvaneMap 1.92, VisualBoyAdvance 1.8.0 (although that's never been a problem before), XSE, and A-Trainer. The most likely culprit is A-Map, as almost all programs refuse to load a ROM at the same time as it.
      The exact error I get is:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
      This happens a lot with .NET programs and A-Map.

      Just like I guessed. FYI, it has nothing in particular to do with the .NET framework. The problem is indeed AdvanceMap which basically locks the file.

      The error you got happened while trying to read the game header, in which code FileShare.Read were used. If I used FileShare.ReadWrite (thus allowing read and write access from other processes), the error wouldn't exists. But if you think about it, it's logical not allowing other processes to write to a file we're reading form. If the file content gets changed while reading it, what we read could be completely wrong. The same thing applies when writing to a file.

      To sum it up, everything boils down to AdvanceMap (similar issues could also happen while using unLZ.GBA) which is locking the file even when it doesn't need to. To prove my point: try opening two instances of the new FSF. And load the same ROM in both. No error will happen. Besides writing my own map editor, there's not much I can do about it excepting catching the error and show an error message.

      Yeah, I understand. Maybe, however, you can fix it for Un-LZ Hacked (when you upgrade it).
      Also, maybe LU-HO can be told about this bug (although he probably already has been) and, when the next A-Map comes out, it'll be fixed...

                hrmm... just ran into a snag...

                XSE is slow... like REALLY slow...
                The compiler takes 87 seconds to compile 24 lines of code... Just a simple hello world code, but man...

                I was wondering if this would be system based, I'm using my mom's netbook...

                Specs...

                Windows XP Pro SP3

                RAM 0.98 GB

                Has an Intel Atom 1.6 GHz Processor... I'm confused though, every time I click the 'Debug' button, one of the cores gets MAXED, like, 100% used.

                It lasts for around 87 seconds each time (On the same script of course, I can only imagine the horror of anything longer.) and then the script finishes...

                Speaking of lag, just tried closing FSF... seems to hang for a few seconds before closing....

                  Advance Trainer's "search" tool doesn't work for me, no matter on which computer i download it on.
                  Is it supposed to work? The tool freezes when i start searching....

                      You would have to install Windows via Boot Camp (default program on Macs), and then use them from Windows. Don't worry. It won't get rid of your Mac OS if you do it. :D

                        What is A-patch good for?

                        Edit: Oh I understand what it's for now. I just thought everyone released their games as .rom files, but I guess that's illegal so they have to make a patch instead.

                        I am also searching for a 3rd generation item editor. Where can I find one?

                          I tried to batch compile, and recieved the error:
                          "Runtime error 13
                          Type mismatch"
                          Is this a noobish mistake from me, or is it a bug? Anyway, can I use the batch compiler anyway?

                                I have a problem...

                                I get the Runtime Error 380 in SMCA and I kinda need this program to work.

                                Just to be sure, I redownloaded the latest version and it still happens.

                                I'm trying to hack FR right now.
