[Other] Free space for scripts

At the top of your script put the command "#dynamic 0xOFFSET" where OFFSET is the offset you'd like to start searching in the ROM for free space. The script editor (XSE, PKSV, etc.) will then take care of finding the space for you.

For example, "#dynamic 0x720000" and "#dynamic 0x800000" are commonly used when hacking FireRed/LeafGreen.

What's the best way to find free space for scripts in pokemon fire red? I know about free space finder but I've heard it doesn't work correctly and can mess up your rom. Is there a safer way to do it or am I wrong about free space finder?

I have never heard about free space finder messing up the rom....
even I have been using it for a long time and I havent encountered any problem yet!!!

all you have to do is:
Spoiler:


Rest are the same as they are.

You can be asured about free space finder being fine, because if I am correct its what most of the Rom hackers use :) ;)

Hope you got me :)
 
Free Space Finder should work fine, but if you're that worried about it you could always search for 'FF's with a hex editor. As adrift said above though, if you're only wanting the free space for scripts, your script editor should do that for you.

So, if I were to use "#dynamic 0x720000", it would work? It's free space? Just asking :P
