    • I'm having problems patching a ROM to play a hack. I followed the instructions that were given in the Before Playing a Hack thread. I download the ROM. Then I download the APS file. I rename the APS file to the same exact name as the ROM. Then I move that APS file into the same folder that the ROM is. But when I play it, it isn't changed. What am I doing wrong?

    Is there any limit to how big a single map can be?
    Cause my large maps (70x70) seem to act weirdly.

    The method you're using- you're doing everything right, but this method doesn't support .APS format patches, only .IPS. You need to download "A-Ptch" from HackMew's Toolbox in the Toolbox Section, and once you've done that it's easy as pie.
    Remember- the method you used only works for IPS. You weren't actually doing anything wrong, so.. That's good :)

    • 1. I downloaded Pokemon Pure Gold and when I try to play it (after patched to ruby) all it shows is a white screen.
    I've already downloaded a different ruby, patched it multiple times, and changed the save type.
    Any suggestions?

    2. What's Pokemon Perla, does it have a lot of bugs, where can I download it?

    Hi. I desperately need your help! I want to hack pokemon platinum and make a Focus Band item that works every time. I can do that in gen III games cause there exists an item editor... But i have searched a lot and i can't find anything resembling that for genIV games. Can someone guide me into Hex editing pokemon platinum for the purpose i describe above? Thanks in advance....

    • I still don't understand. I'll put an example of what I'm trying to edit. It's the sign in Littleroot Town in Emerald saying it can't be shaded by any hue. I try to edit and go through everything and it doesn't save. I am new to hex editing, one of the reasons why I'm having a difficult time.

    Well your first issue is finding someone who has attempted to or suceeded in hacking that game, and since it is a DS game and it is alot bigger, it might be a while before anyone finds the items in the first place.

    Well i have found this page that provides some codes but i tried to search for them and i came up with nothing...

    (The page is here in pokecommunity and titled "Basic Hex Editing in Pokemon Diamond ".

    My theory is that if i find where the focus band is in the nds rom i can edit its value for succeeding (which is propably set to 10, since that's the chance percent of succeeding) into 100 or 255 (or something).....

    If anyone has any knowledge on this please try and help. Otherwise i just have to wait for a PPRE version that lets you edit items......

    Delete all the scripts and person events in the town that the problem occurs in (you can keep warps), I'm sorry but you'll have to re-script everything, happened to me once.

    I'm not sure about how big they get, but definitely bigger than 70x70

    Don't the rules say wait until a new page of Simple Questions is there BEFORE re-posting questions? AND, sometimes there are no answers, or people don't know the answers, so patience is key in hacking due to this.

    @SonicBlazePlatinum: Can't the sign be changed by Scripting? Surely, as it is a signpost, it can be easily changed like that. But, if you insist on Hex Editing, then are you sure you have got the right part of the ROM?

    How can I get the player to hop down the hop-down ledges commonly seen in most maps, in a new map? Can it be done in Advance Map, or does it require something else?

    it can be done with Advance Map.
    Look at the byte numbers of those ledges and put the same numbers on your new tile.
