Hey I've got an Idea maybe you should make a program like dexter(since It always says I got a Virus),for I have seen how great your tools are,so you can edit the pokedex thingymajigs.

I can't get Advanced starter to work it keeps saying,'This application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.' and I did try re-installing it and it keeps on saying the same thing.

The app doesn't comes with that DLL. I'd suggest to find the DLL on google (which is easy to find btw). Hope this helps.

Regarding SMCA,
Now I've got no problem with the screen still shaking when you first start the game, the thing that bugs me is that the map I start in is slightly messed up, until I refresh the map. Can you offer any insight?

As I wrote in the first post, you could need the VB6 Runtime files. Go to the first post for further information.

It doesn't come with that dll since it's a part of the VB6 Runtime files. That's it.

As I wrote many times, you cannot fully remove the truck for now. Maybe a better solution for you could be to change the starting position after the truck, instead.


So how do I use APE? I just want to know how to edit the main characters palette.

The readme explains well how to search a palette inside a ROM. Just read it.


Thats all I Have To Say.:disappoin

If you don't like my tools I think you're the first one: if you don't like them, don't bother me with such pointless posts. You're not forced to use my tools, after all.
Also, please don't double post. *reports*

Shade, do not double post. If you want to add something to your message, use the "Edit" button instead.

Also, the wording of your post was rather rude; one of our rules here at PC is to respect all members. If you want to offer constructive criticism, that's fine, but your post was rather blunt and spammish.

But i have a little problem..
Everytime i try to run APE an error pop-up

Run-time error '713':

You need the following file to be installed on your machine. MSSTDFMT.DLL.


I'm not sure what's wrong... >_>

Awesome! I tested these out, and screwed around on Emerald a bit. Is there any tool so that you can edit emerald's Boy back/front sprites? I've got the little overworld ones already. :)
OH! And is there an emerald map editor? Unless there's those in that pile you've released. *goes to re-look*

does anyone have the older version of advanced starter that lets me change the starters on the GB and GBC games

does anyone know where i can find it or not, if none of you know just say,'I don't know.' so that i won't just be sitting around waiting for an answer and never getting one

The older versions weren't made by me and that's not the right thread to ask. *goes to report*

Well, I didn't realise that I referenced that (unuseful) DLL in APE's project. Sorry for the error... To fix it, just download the newest version of the tool from the 1st post.


Awesome! I tested these out, and screwed around on Emerald a bit.

Glad to see that you like my tools ^^


When I try to import a .BMP, I get an error
'Runtime error 6
'Overflow''. Halp?

When reporting bugs, be as descriptive as possible, please!
So, please specify the name of the program, the version number and what did you do exactly to get the error, step by step. Otherwhise it's almost impossible to fix bugs...
Now, I guess you were using Overworld Editor - RE. So, what did you do before getting the error?

I'm considered a genius... not bad ^^


How about script editors. Can I get any good ones please???

Advance text doesn't work on my computer....

This isn't the right thread to ask... Use "Simple Questions" one instead. *reports*

You're welcome! :)


TO ALL: Updated APE and added another little tool. Check first post ;)

kinglax and Konekodemon, your posts are unrelated to this thread. This thread is for discussion of HackMew's tools, and you are asking about tools that were not made by HackMew.

If you want to ask where you can find things, use the "Simple Questions" thread instead, rather than posting here. Always make sure that your posts are on-topic.

I used a raw unused/edited Fire Red ROM, hunted down Lugia in Over World editor that I downloaded from the first page of this topic, and It shows the "Import Pallete" and "Import Image". I hit "Load Sprite" (The button you use to find the .BMP), I hit Darkrai, and it gave me the error. I can provide a screenie if you need.
