     Re-Load Rom

This shall re-load your rom. It is like you load a rom. But I works with a loaded rom.

Save

This will save your rom changes.

If you make some changes and do not save they will be lost.

So it is necessary to save every map you change if you want to make a hack.

Save must made occasionally.
