Better in next beta...? What do you mean by that?
Can you tell me what's wrong with this one?

Bug-Catching Update progress:
RELEASED!!!

This new patch fixes all bugs previously reported as well as a few bugs I found myself. And, of course, it includes the Bug-Catching Contest itself!

Please report any bugs you may have with the contest or any other part of my game and I will fix them ASAP. Thanks, and have fun!

guys, i'm kind of new into this hack, i had played liqiud crystal, but, this one is good too, so i have some questions, the link to the latest ips patch of beta 2 of crystal dust includes the bug catching contest right?, if so, i want to ask the following, did you do beta testing of the bug contenst?, because, in any case a bug is found, either way, are hoenn pokemon obtainable, if so, the starters too?, and they are rare encounters (low rate encounter)?, how many gyms of kanto does this beta have, is viridian gym aviable or we have to wait till next beta?, last question, can you give and aproximate release date for beta 3?, thanks...

EDIT: i forgot to ask this, is scyther catchable now?, if so, does scyther evolve to scizor without trade?, also, how do i get kanto starters?

I don't know if this is a bug or it is just the end of the beta but when I beat Lance the game goes through the credits and a white screen appears. I can't do anything except reload a save.

Do I have to patch over my already patched ROM and continue playing where I left off, or do I have to patch over a clean ROM and start my game all over?

Not extensively, but yes. because, in any case a bug is found, either way, are hoenn pokemon obtainable No. if so, the starters too? No. and they are rare encounters (low rate encounter)? No. how many gyms of kanto does this beta have 0. is viridian gym aviable or we have to wait till next beta? Next beta or beyond. last question, can you give and aproximate release date for beta 3? No asking for release dates, that's a forum rule. thanks...

EDIT: i forgot to ask this, is scyther catchable now? In the Bug-Catching Contest, yes. if so, does scyther evolve to scizor without trade? Yes, but you have to find out how. also, how do i get kanto starters? You don't, not yet.

Sorry if I sound a little harsh, but all of this has already been asked in the thread before or said explicitly by me...

Well, the game should reset itself, but you can reset it manually and continue playing, although there's not much to do after the credits (that's the end of this beta).

Just patch to a new ROM, delete the old one, and rename the new one to the same name. You should be able to use the same save file (unless it's from Beta 1, in which case, start from the beginning).

Hey Diego, I found a new bug, the Dude who teaches you how to catch Pokemon freezes when he is about to throw the Pokeball :(

Found a curious bug in the bug catching contest. When I start the contest I do not have any Pokemon
Does not happen when only 1 Pokemon is in the Party upon entering the contest
EDIT: Are Raikou and Entei catchable now? :)

New here.

Registered on this site just to reply to this. I barely heard about this hack about an hour ago. Downloaded a clean version of Emerald and the ips file (the latest version) and the program to patch it. Made a copy of Emerald in case it screws. I patched the ips to it and once I ran the patched Emerald in VBA, it doesn't do anything. I just get that gray screen and nothing ever happens :( what am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I feel so retarded now :/ all I had to do was change the setting to Flash 128k. Totally forgot about that. D: anyways I'll just keep this account for further problems/bugs XD

Can you tell me what you had in your party (and if they were fainted) when you went into the contest? And do you get all of your Pokémon back once you leave?
Entei and Raikou are not catchable yet, sorry.

Dude holy crap this hack is awesome, and I especially freaking love that you were able to implement the Day/Afternoon/Night thing (not sure if there's a better/technical term for this). Quick questions, am I able to trade between Crystaldust and FR/LG/R/S/E and will there be cheats available someday so after I finish it and whatnot I can have a little extra fun? I'd browse through this thread but I don't exactly have the most cooperative internet connection at the moment.
Oh and will you be able to add a seasons feature later on? I saw the Day Night Seasons post but being a total n00b at rom hacking, most of it looked like Japanese to me :/ (my lame attempt at just innocently pimping up my Emerald ROM to make its gameplay much more pleasurable.)

You can trade between the versions, but trading is not completely supported yet. Cheats are the exact same as they are for Emerald. No, seasons are not being added because Crystal didn't have them.

Thanks for the post!

Elaborate on the unsupported part? I don't want to end up screw up the games or anything.
And no problem, personally I'm just grateful as hell that you're still active on this project. Usually people just end up abandoning cool stuff like this. Not that I blame them because stuff comes up and all but you know :) so thanks for that!

This happened to me, too. I had a Growlithe, a Poliwag, a Bayleef, a Nidorino, a Bellsprout, and an Egg. All of the Pokémon in my party disappeared and when I got in a battle I had the question mark in the circle thing. I didn't find out whether or not I got my Pokémon back because I just resumed a save state. Perhaps it's because of the egg? I would try again now, but the contest isn't on today. For some reason it was on yesterday (Sunday) though and the guards said things like:
'Today it is BOX1...'
'Today it is 851...'
