No idea what those are how to check them. I know virtually nothing at all about hacking roms, I've done a lot of modding to PC games in my days (in fact I decided for some Pokémon nostalgia to cool off from that a little bit), but I'm a complete newfag here.

>Most romhacks don't change the location of the save data, but if it adds in new items or something it might have something the editor can't recognize and might corrupt. Need more details.
Well, uh, I applied another patch to it which turns the dummied out Acro Bike into an item ("GB Player") which makes the music sound like the music from the original Game Boy games.

The save editor recognized it as the Acro Bike, but didn't complain about that. The save editor does complain about some things though, like me naming my player BITCH (even though the game itself didn't complain).
What I used the save editor for was to give myself a Misdreavus egg holding an Amulet Coin, so I could have that early on. Said egg hatched into a MissingNo, but editing the MissingNo into a Misdreavus afterwards seems to have solved that.
What happens now though is that looking at any Pokémon's summary now makes the game freeze.

Obviously I fucked something somewhere, but I don't know enough about this stuff to be sure of what exactly, or what to look for to fix it, or if it can be fixed. I've put not even 30 minutes into the game, should I just start clean with a new save to see if it stops being fucked?
