When I try to add a movement to a script, after I save the movement gets changed (eg I created mov_31--and mov_31 saves properly--but when I try to implement it into a script PPRE changes it to mov_8). I tried the Setvarhero 0 method you described but it didn't seem to work. I'm going to keep fiddling around but do you know if there's anything I can do to get around this?
EDIT: NEVERMIND i had desmume running a different rom than the one i was editing.
