Labels. Labels are the most important tool. I live and die by the Labels. Everything else is secondary. You will get very far if you can set a breakpoint to a label and see what your code is doing step by step.

If you're just working in an emulator, yes, it's possible to lose hours of work if you aren't careful.
This is why i'm using WLA-DX to rebuild the hack on top of the base ROM every time i "compile" it. It's easy to go back, fix mistakes and rebuild.
Unfortunately, i'm using a script that i wrote to convert WLA-DX .SYM labels to Mesen .MLB labels, but when i finish this hack, i will include the source code and scripts to build it and explain my workflow and toolset. Hopefully it will help others.
