Flags are 8 per byte, not 1 per byte. So checking flags 0x900 - 0x11FF would only actually affect vars 0x4000 to 0x4090.

None of the flags are safe to use, it's really that simple. Neither are the variables. If you want to make them safe, that's a whole other kettle of fish.

Oh, they are stored in bits. Wow, I didn't even think of that. Thanks. It makes a ton more sense now.

Edit: I just came up with this in case someone finds themselves in need of more flags:
With it, you can choose which var you would not like to use and have 16 flags at your disposal.

(((Flag - 900)/8)/2)+4000= var number flag is stored in.

(I am not responsible for any bad eggs and such, check the var you want to use first:p)

You can solve for flag or var, just depends on which you want.

Sooo... this is the hex for the decorations in Emerald (and it is unlikely to be very different in RS) I know it first starts with an identifier (the Decoration ID, if you will) that is in bold above. Next comes the decoration's string (in blue) But then I get lost with the next two bytes. In green we have what category each decoration is (ie: 0x75 WAILMER DOLL is in the dolls category: 0x6). Next comes two more unknown bytes, and two padding bytes? And lastly, in red, we have the pointers to each item's description (back to 0x75: "A large doll.|Place it on a mat|or a desk.") and what I believe could be the tiles used to make the decoration (0x75: B7 00).

Could someone help me complete this table and confirm/dismiss my observations? As I have ran out of ideas as to what they could mean.

(the table of decorations begins at 0x5A5C08, the descriptions at: 0x5A4748, and the tile numbers are at: 0x5A4514.

0x5A4688 seem to be the beginning of a table for the dolls like 0x75)

Thanks!

Firered's "wait-for-interrupt"-loop is quite inefficient. Here is my suggested patch. (Experimental, may or may not freeze the game.)

BEFORE:
080008aa  8b91 ldrh r1, [r2, #0x1c]
080008ac  1c18 add r0, r3, #0x0
080008ae  4008 and r0, r1
080008b0  2800 cmp r0, #0x0
080008b2  d0fa beq $080008aa
080008b4  bc01 pop {r0}
080008b6  4700 bx r0

AFTER:
080008aa  df02 swi $02
080008ac  8b91 ldrh r1, [r2, #0x1c]
080008ae  1c18 add r0, r3, #0x0
080008b0  4008 and r0, r1
080008b2  2800 cmp r0, #0x0
080008b4  d0f9 beq $080008aa
080008b6  bd00 pop {pc}

This should be useful if emulation is slow on your machine. Or if you want to be even faster when holding the space key.

Is there a way to make it so you can use fly to get to the towns without a need to go to the town's pokemon center first? I don't mean warping, I mean that you can use the fly HM to go anywhere despite not visiting the pokemon center in said town first.

Um, you can change the position of the flying position in Advance Map you need to go to events tab and change its position and that would be it. :)

[sonicshuffler42]

Hey, are the flags that enable you to be able to use 'fly' to get to a town's pokemon center able to be set at any time? I would like to set those flags automatically for everywhere at the start of a game.

Simple answer is yes, but this belongs in simple questions, just FYI.

[Ksiazek Bartlomiej]

I have a question... How can I replease a ordinary LOW HP SIGNAL with music of LOW HP theme from Pokemon BW <Which I recreated to GBA> ?

[shiny quagsire]

There are a few ways you could do this. You could have the main music get replaced with your new music, or you could have the low hp track in Sappy include your song along with it, and disable the main track. So it is possible, it'd just take some time to ASM hack out, because it will require some ASM hackery.

[Ksiazek Bartlomiej]

But What Code I must write on ASM? I'm not good in ASM Hacking.

[Darthatron]

So editing the Pokemon that is released by the Professor in the games is easy, and I think possible with some tools. However, the cry does not change. Here are some changes that need to be made to change the cry of this Pokemon.

FireRed:

0812FB38: 02 48
0812FB42: 30 BD XX XX 00 00

Ruby:

0800A506: 03 48 C0 46
0800A512: 00 BD XX XX 00 00

Emerald:

08030B0C: XX XX

Where XX XX is the index of the Pokemon in reversed hex. For example Charizard would be 06 00. A list can be found here.

This would be quite difficult to actually do, since the new music would have to be implemented effectively as an indefinite fanfare.

I'm honestly not sure how the game does the current low HP thing, but to replace it with BW's one, you'd need to pause the playing music, play the BW music, and on the circumstances changing so it doesn't need to play any longer, resume playing the normal theme.

Nice find Darthatron I will try to do this for recreating platinum when lopunny appears.

So, I've gotten sick of being asked for this, so I figured it might be a good idea to share it. It's so short and easy that it definitely doesn't warrant having its own thread, so putting it here seems like a good compromise.

Extending the Number of Direct Sound Tracks on 3rd Gen Pokémon Games

It's as easy as this:

1. Search for the hex string "00 C5 94 00" in your ROM
2. Replace said string with "00 CX 94 00" where X stands for the number of maximum DS tracks

Now, there are limits here. Fire Red and Emerald (presumably Leaf Green too) can support a maximum of 12 (0xC) tracks, so you can put 00 CC 94 00 for these ROMs, however, Ruby (presumably Sapphire too) are different. RS can only support a maximum of 7!

BPR - 12
BPG - 12
BPE - 12
AXV - 7
AXP - 7

I just wanted to add that in RS there are actually two locations that have contain that string of hex values. One in the one 1D0000s and one in the E70000's. I believe after some talks with ShinyDragonHunter a while back I discovered this. I believe that it ended up being the first one.

----------------------

I also recently spent a lot of time pouring over the maximum number of overworld limiting bytes and found that in all games except Emerald, (which I have yet to figure out as it is very different, but I am close) that there were actually three different compare commands that prevent the increasing of OWs. The first was a normal check that set the limit at 151 for FR and 217 for Ruby. (Please note that there are 152 ows in FR and 218 in Ruby. This means that the SS Anne is not special like once assumed, this check is solely based off of the OW numbers used in A-map and NSE).

The second and third checks actually worked together in order to allow the use of higher number OWs over OW #240 by pulling different OWs from the origional table. If you only change one of these checks, it screws up your OW's pallette and position on the map. They must be used in sync.

The offsets for the ASM routines which control these limits are:

Ruby: 0x0805BC10

FireRed: 0x0805F2C8

Please note that this is the beginning of the entire routine, not the checks themselves. I plan on extending Darthatron's Advanced OW Editing Tutorial (with permission if he lets me:D) in order to account for these checks. So unless you have a good understanding of basic ASM, don't play with this quite yet.

Well, i explained this in the last post. Its the naming type, which is gonna through r0. But that can be easily changed, i think, so this is the least of our worries.

My main worry is how you're gonna convert the letters bytes into usable codes.

I was just wondering what exactly this routine is, and I was wondering if it would apply to eggs? For example, I want to create a script that would give you a specific egg with preset eggmoves. That or Pokemon with 'hidden abilities'. What special or callasm would I need to put into the script?

If I've been mildly silly and the number is already posted I apologize in advance.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to ASM hack the intro in Fire Red so that it skips the "Gengar - Nidorino" Intro without the press of a button? Like after the "GAMEFREAK Presents" Logo, It will go on to the Title Screen and not play that sick and old intro?

Is there an offset for the current location of the player?
The (X,Y) coordinates I mean.

I believe that there is a script command that gets this info, it is like "getplayerlocation" or something. Hit F1 in XSE and scroll through the commands. I will also go see where the exact location in the ram is in case you need this for an ASM routine.

Edit:

Edit2: In case you need it:

X-value is at 020255A0

(Found using VBA's "Search for Cheats" function. Quite the amazing thing.)

080008b6 4700 bx r0

AFTER:
080008aa df02 swi $02
080008ac 8b91 ldrh r1, [r2, #0x1c]
080008ae 1c18 add r0, r3, #0x0
080008b0 4008 and r0, r1
080008b2 2800 cmp r0, #0x0
080008b4 d0f9 beq $080008aa
080008b6 bd00 pop {pc}

And I just compile using ASM and I'm good?
