Finally decided to seriously try out YIPES. A few things to point out...
First of all, if you try to open a ROM that's being used by another program, YIPES completely closes.
And the Save ROM button doesn't appear on the other tabs (and Ctrl-S doesn't seem to work), which gets annoying.
Also, I found some strangeness when using $ to manually insert hex values...
- Not sure if this happens to everyone, but if I try to type, say, $60, it will give an error after each character before it's finished (meaning I'm actually typing $-enter-6-enter-0).
- If I try typing, say, "1-1:$FE$10$08The Cave of Entry" as a level name, and save, it does insert correctly; however, it automatically removes that $FE$10$08 when I display the level name again.
- When editing messages, sometimes it doesn't automatically insert a line break if the line contains a manual hex value. I assume that's intentional so people can manually add the line breaks, but what if I'm just manually inserting other characters?
For example, how would I insert this (with line breaks occurring as usual)? Typing it as is will cause the message to completely glitch up. ($3F is a dot without a space, $37 is a comma without a space (yes I know I could have used $CF but I prefer $37$D0), and $60 is a double-width space.)

(The hack name probably won't appear on the final intro message by the way-- it was intended just as a filler until I edit the title screen.)
