Awesome to see that your project is still going strong Atrius! I can't wait for the times to come when golden sun will be able to be told in almost a completely different way. Man. Have fun with Dark Dawn some too =P

Awesome editor dude!!!!

Actually a while back I, for whatever reason, though of some awesome fights.
1)A battle with Alex

2)Felix's party vs Issac's party

3)Vs. Link

4)Vs. Chrono and Cloud

Of course they were all dreams at the time, but you may be able to make at least on of those possible for me to do/see. You my sir are a dream enabler. Can't wait to try the editor out.

I kinda skipped the fix 1 announcement here, sorry about that.

v0.3 fix 2 now available, as before it's at the same link. You may have to clear your cache to download the fix if you've already downloaded v0.3. Verify you have the correct version by checking the "Help" > "About" section of the editor, the version should read "Version 0.3 fix 2"

Contains bug fixes:
- Sprite display issues some users were experiencing fixed
- GS1 corruption from using ability editor fixed (Will also automatically repair corrupted ROMs caused by this glitch)
- "Unknown variable ccx" error in map viewer fixed
- an "Error reading byte" glitch fixed in map viewer
- Layer sorting issues in map viewer fixed
- Hex editor now remembers it's location when switching between map viewer utilities
- Arrow keys now work for scrolling through enemy group list
From fix 1:
- Class patch fixed for Felix
- "Error reading byte" fixed in code disassembler
- Some scroll bar size errors in the Map viewer fixed
- Attempts to fix some sprite display issues
