Emerald hack: Pokémon Glazed! (Beta 1 Released!)

[redriders180]

Who am I?

I'm Redriders180, although I really prefer to be called Lucbui. I've been ROM hacking for two years now, and haven't been able to get up the nerve to post anything till now. Pokémon Glazed has been in the works for as long as I've been hacking, and has grown from a random pointless project to almost an obsession.

The Story

Today's the day you turn twelve years old, which means today is the day you get your first Pokémon. But if you were expecting an uneventful journey across the Tunod region, you'd be dead wrong. A mysterious power is sending the Pokémon world and the real world on a collision course. A mysterious team lurks around the ruins of ancient Tunod, with a mysterious purpose. You'll meet allies in three roaming trainers from the Johto region, as well as a scarfed Pikachu hell-bent on revenge. Will you be able to handle it?

Events

Periodically, I will release certain events for the game. Only one is programmed so far, but there will be more eventually. Those words can be found below.

Spoiler:

Entering "JUSTICE!" as your wish at the wishing fountain in Darkwood Town will cause a cave to appear, with a certain special Pokemon inside.

Features

Red-colored entries aren't encountered in the most current Beta

• Choose from five starters instead of three!
• Travel across the regions of Tunod, Rankor, and Johto
• Dream World Pokémon
• Pokémon from the Sinnoh and Unova region
• Increased difficulty (You'll need to train!)
• Travel in the Pokémon World and the Real World
• Capture all five starters
• Rematches with trainers, as well as all Gym Leaders
• All legendaries from Kanto to Sinnoh, as well as eight from Unova
• New out-of-battle effects

Bugs

I've bug-tested this beta myself, but there's always the possibility that I've missed something. If you encounter any bugs, feel free to leave them here!

Red text = Glitch or bug that could crash your game
Green text = Minor bug

On the second run-through of the Elite Four, people have mentioned one of the Elite Four won't battle, making you get stuck.

Media

Spoiler:

Note: Two of these images are old, and use the original Brendan sprite, instead of the custom hero OW that my spriter made.

DOWNLOADS

I've heard people have been having issues with this hack when using VBA 1.80. If it doesn't work, I recommend trying VBA 1.72. Thanks!

This is an expanded, 32MB ROM. It uses the program NUPS to patch.

I'd have to send it by email or something, since Pokecommunity doesn't allow .gba files. Shoot me a PM or VM and I'll see what I can do

In response to everyone else...thank you for the enthusiasm I had no idea people would be so excited by a new hack.

EDIT: Just my luck...I don't think the patch works ._. I'm gonna try and figure it out, and repost a working link

DOUBLE EDIT: I think I got it working...The new patch is a .ups, which uses NUPS to patch. It's the only one that worked successfully, so I'm sorry if you have to go out and find it, but it's a good program for expanded ROMs

hey is this for real???? 3 regions???

[DVK]

How far does Beta 1 go up to?

[arjiegodz]

Eventually, yes. The Rankor region is the smallest one, only some islands, and serves as the final challenge.

You can play up to the third gym ^_^

What's a tsukuyumi? I keep hearing it, but not finding it...The program I used to develop the patch is called NUPS, are they the same thing?

[arjiegodz]

game freezes after intro. screen went green

Spoiler:

here it is.. all went green... sorry idk how to v only a small print screen

and btw.. when i patched it using nups.. it said the patch doesnt matched the file so i just proceeded it. and it went well and when i played its ok but after the intro it went greeen screen

[redriders180]

I'm sorry, everyone...It turns out my copy of Emerald which I thought was clean was in fact a little altered, which most likely caused the errors. I'm putting up a final patch tonight, then going to bed...hopefully it works >_< And thanks for all your help!

It's tsukuYOmi (as one Japanese folktale god). It's the main UPS patcher that is used here on PC =)
But since you added that it was patched with NUPS, I wonder why people used tsukuyomi... :D

[Gerokunz]

Graphic are nice, the screens looks promising.
I'm looking forward for more update I'll try this if I have a time.
So good luck with completing it.

THX,Lucbui.
But I don't have the tool,NUPS,and I can't find it anywhere.
Can you give me a download link or send it to my email address?

[PokemonGiratinaX]

Screen looks promising. Only the hero OW sprite look a little weird. Anyway, good luck on completing it!
and where does the beta end?

[arjiegodz]

FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T PATCH IT, NUPS IS FOUND HERE!


Ok, i patched this and got to new game, but then i appear in a black map and i can't really walk much, only 2/3 steps, plus hero overworld fading black a few moments.

I really can't comment the playtime, but from the screens it looks awesome, and you know that. So as someone said before: don't let this project fade away!

Cheers!

THX,and I have the same problem as you.
After I created a character,the screen turned black.

I wish I could understand what's going wrong...I just downloaded this patch from the link provided, downloaded a clean Emerald ROM from online, patched it, and ran it, and i haven't gotten any errors...>_< this is so frustrating!

...
I use two rom and neither of them work...
Or is there something wrong with the NUPS we used?

[NarutoActor]

Love the screenshots, I will definitely give it a go, once I see that all the patching problems go away. xP

[godlesplay]
