Back in the day, if you wrote a script, you had to manually find empty space in the ROM (a nightmare). XSE automates this. It finds the free space, writes your code, and links everything together.

Open the script for the player’s bedroom.

We’ve all been there. You walk into a Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy smiles, and the screen fades to white. You heal your team. You walk out.
