Game Freak Presents in FireRed V1.0
What are you even talking about? Game Freak Presents?
In V1.0 of FireRed and LeafGreen, there's supposed to be text that appears during the Game Freak introduction that says "PRESENTS", making it say, in all, "GAME FREAK PRESENTS". However, the developers forgot a section of code that loads the text to the screen, though it's present in the OAM tilespace. This was rectified in V1.1.The fix
Compile this routine into any place in the ROM:
Code:
[div="font-family:consolas, courier new,monospace"].text
.align 2
.thumb
.thumb_func
.global gamefreakpresents
start: ldr r0, [r6, #0x14]
ldr r3, branch1
bl bx_r3
bl main
strh r4, [r6, #0x12]
ldr r3, return
bx_r3: bx r3
main:
push {r4-r7,lr}
mov r4, #0x0

return: .word 0x080ECE71
val1: .word 0x000003FF
val2: .word 0xFFFFFC00[/div]Now, at 0xECE1C in the hex editor, write 00480047XXXXXX080000, replacing XXXXXX with the reversed offset+1 to the routine you inserted earlier. That's it!
The result
Yessir, this is V1.0!
That's really all there is to it. Now you can actually present the game to your fans!
