Also you must be using a clean Emerald hack so that this foes not occurs. Generally the white screen issue comes from the bad choice of base ROM

Hah, I guess your suggestion worked. It's been a few weeks since my last update.
Thanks for your comment! I will NOT be removing multiplayer.
Eventually.
The friendship system? You mean the methods for Pokémon to become friendlier? It's the same as Emerald.
I may be implementing that in the future, after I make the banking system work.
I've fixed this in today's update. Sorry for taking so long!
I think I've fixed the teleportation to Violet glitch. I dunno what's up with Kurt and the Contest, though.
And I've never seen the glitch when evolving via held item on level up.
You probably need to enable the RTC in your emulator. If you're using Windows, just download the VBA package from my website.
Fixed this in today's update. This and the Battle Tower glitch were because of errors in the GB Player.
The first one is simply keeping with the way GSC had it. I don't want to give them names they didn't already have *coughHGSScough*. And the second one? The S after an all-caps word has been capitalized since Gen II. I used to have it the other way, but I ended up changing it back.Awesome stuff, I'll be sure to download and give it a play soon.
Two tiny things that I've noticed however, from the screenies you have on show, are that the rocket executives you're fighting in the screen below are both simply called "TEAM ROCKET EXECUTIVE"
(Maybe think about giving them more distinguishable names, like "ROCKET EXECUTIVE MICHAEL" and "ROCKET EXECUTIVE LANEY")
and that you have "CUTS" in all caps in the the next screen below, where it probably shouldn't be for continuities sake.
(It's typically only nouns that are capitalised. CUT would be capitalised as it's the name of a move, but not the action of cutting)
I haven't thumbed through all the pages in here so I apologize if these have already been pointed out.
Besides that and the fact that it's buggy, I don't think it fits in with the "accurate remake" theme here.
It certainly did!
Loving the music, man!
Look, I apologize, but not only am I trying to work on Shining Opal at the time, but I've had less free time recently. CrystalDust Beta 3 will get here when it gets here and not a moment sooner.
I have literally made NO progress on Beta 3. I haven't even made the script for Elm's phone call. And it's a good thing too, otherwise I wouldn't be able to send out bugfixes so easily.
Thanks! FRLG style all the way!
These two problems could be what's causing your white screen issue. Generally though, it's the first one.
If you don't want to bother setting up your emulator yourself, just download VBA straight from my site.
Onto today's update! It's not a very big one, mostly bugfixes, but I've also included new Town Maps made by yours truly:
Tell me if you have any bugs with them! (If the images haven't updated for you, Shift+Refresh)

I'm really interested in this hack, as Crystal was my first Pokemon game. The main story is finished, correct?

The Johto story is finished. Kanto is a work in progress.
Exactly.
Well, it does say "Download the Latest CrystalDust Patch" as the download link, so I'd assume that's the latest. ;)

Diego said that won't happen, and I don't like the Physical Special split in 3rd generation hacks. Just seems out of place.

Was it in the 2nd generation? No. There's no point in adding it.
People seem to be too demanding from the other hacks...
You guys should really understand that this is supposed to be 2nd generation remake and quoting diego "Most accurate one". So you shouldn't suggest things that do not exist in 2nd generation.

Ok, I few things:
*Why is the Mach bike put in instead of the normal bike/acro bike? I find the Mach bike not really useful and I'm pretty sure crystal had a normal bike
*I've only got 2 trainers registered on my phone card, Dana and Joey.
*If you look at the area tab on the Pokedex the map is really distorted.
*Berries don't regrow! I know that my Real Time Clock works since the weekdays and lapras work and the in-game time is synced with my actual time.

I finished the newest beta and I liked it very much, the tiles from fr/lg work nicely as well as the custom leaves and trees that can be cut. I just wanted to point out some suggestions and errors that i have found.
errors:
Farfetch'd as a missing animation when moving (it floats), i hope this gets addressed in the future beta.
My pokemon doesn't trigger a headbutt animation on a tree, however the whirlpool hm is outstanding.
This happens when checking the pokedex area page.
Sprite-wise, the girl trainer's face looks puffy while running as opposed to the boy trainer.
Suggestions:
Contrary to rby, gsc had a different pokemon used during surf (most likely a lapras) i was hoping if it would be possible to request for a custom surf animation to compensate for this as the current animation (which uses fire red/ leaf greens) resembles the rby surf animation (a seel/ dewgong looking pokemon) (you can search for the old sprites as reference)
Let me know what you think, thank you for updating us from time to time with this hack. =)

Just make a script based on the rock smash rocks.
You can't find them in the wild yet, sorry to say, except for Suicune.
Responses in bold.
Thanks for your support!
Thanks for the comment!
The first glitch is because I don't have walking frames for it. The second one is because I frankly have no idea how to make the tree wiggle like it did in GSC.I finished the newest beta and I liked it very much, the tiles from fr/lg work nicely as well as the custom leaves and trees that can be cut. I just wanted to point out some suggestions and errors that i have found.

The next two have been fixed in today's update. I hope you like my new custom girl walking sprites!
And the last one is the same as the second one: I don't have sprites for that so I made do with what I had.
So today's update is small: the Pokédex location map has been fixed and so have the female running sprites.

Looking at the title screen I should say that it should also be checked upon. That Suicune looks weird. I hope you will change it in future when you are free for it
