I tried using unipatcher for Android. An app used for patching roms. I chose the patch as the dark rising .ips file and the rom as fire red.gba , but it shows "patching failed"! What am i doing wrong here?How i wish the creator can release it solo like light platinum in the .gba format!!!

I found DRG's location guide on the first page. It says level 15 drilburs are just after water cave. I hope it's accurate(since she created th damn game XD) because i want one bad. She really overpowered Excadrill. Just watch TehWileChase's Ytube LP of this game.
Well wish me luck raising it with only Swords Dance for a little ;-; , this ones like Ralts in Emerald. It has one non damaging move but its worth raising in the end. Its also like Magikarp :P

I want to try this hack. I have heard there are gen 4-5 moves in this game? True? Can anyone direct me to a thread where all of them are mentioned or discussed? Thanks!
Also can i download the game in the first post and directly play it on my Gameboid? I play all games in my Galaxy S3. I am playing the Light Platinum in it as well. The same procedure applies here as well right?Just download it, open with gameboid and enjoy?
This is the only official thread of dark Rising which means there is no other place in website where you discuss or find any thing you need to know about Dark Rising


After I download it from the attachment, what will I do next
You just need to patch the ips file on a clean Firered ROM using Lunari ips and play the hack on VBA

Speaking of which, is there any reason for buying that ¥500 magikarp in Flamen Town? I could just get one for free anywhere, couldnt i?

Go with Larvesta as Ash suggests. Larvesta is damn cool along the game play.
Go download the Location guide on the first page of the thread. They have a low encounter rate around 1-5 % i certain locations.



apparently they're around a place called blazing mountain, which i can't find on the map. i'm not going to bother using the traded larvesta unless i can find a cheat to make it obey me.

I bought my Magikarp just to get it to use earlier, 500 was nothing to spend for me. And also pokenoob I have that traded Larvesta and it started obeying pretty early, I also get double xp since I am not the original trainer.

The traded larvesta is so far(im in battle cave) the best fire type in the game for me to use. DRG made completely OP. Also, DRG made the game in such a way that most cheats cause the game to crash. She wants people to play it legit. It's fun with increased difficulty and the best story of any pokemon game i've played.

I understand that it isnt much money, but i was wondering if it was a special magikarp like in pokemon Snakewood that would hold a TM/HM or is shiny or something. If it's just a normal Magikarp then good luck with an overpowered Gyarados(Thank you DRG! =3) and thanks for your answer, man.

As you can see the below trainer has no problems with larvesta you might be playing an old beta. Check the first page to see whether you are updated or not.

No No, Larvesta house is just before Flamen Route

Anybody know for certain if DRG upped the flinch rate on zen headbutt, astonish, etc...? I like that Zen Headbutt guarantees flinching(as far as I've experienced), but i want to know if I'm just really lucky or it's the mechanic.

Oh, Zen Headbutt is certainly upped. Well to be specific, the hacker didn't finish editing the move.

It has 100% flinch rate and is sound based. You can look this up yourself using any move editor, as well as fix it.

I wouldn't know because I didn't really find it too bad to get through without cheats (and if I did I certainly would rely more on hacking in people to give things than GS codes), but that seems far beyond the hacker's level especially given the resetting events that are able to break the game in half. More than likely it's the cheat itself, because they're rather notorious for being a bit unstable especially on hacks in general.

The hacker left both this and it's sequel for dead. She gave permission to continue the sequel without her, but the chances of it coming back are slim to none.

Yeah... those flinch rates are upped.
Especially Zen Headbutt is totally game breaking if you have quick sweeper like Lucario...

I guess Zen Headbutt is like that because it is based on Uproar, and i enjoy it. I don't fight many Voltorbs where I'm at. And with my other post, I still think that the game is better without cheats anyway. One of the only hacks I've played that is more fun legit.
