[Emulation] Simple Questions Thread

[Kaith]

Okay, I know that people most likely came her for Pokemon Rom's, but has anyone heard of Boktai? It's a great game, but the game cartridge needs to be played in sunlight. On an emulator, that's kinda hard. Does anyone know if there is a patch for this?

I think that on NO$GBA there is a "Solar Sensor" setting that can change different values to make these games work properly. Try that.

now what im wanting to do is basically have my snivy at the beginning of the game before i choose one of the starters.( i do not want him to be a starter i want him already, it will be as if i traveled from unova to rubys region.) so now what do i do? thanks!!!

You can make a level script so you have him the minute you start playing. A level script is the same as a normal script except it will activate as soon as you enter a room, town etc. If you don't know how to make a level script, search for Cooleys guide in the tutorial section. Or mineif its been approved. I would type one up now, but I'm on my phone =/

i really do not know if this is the correct spot or not ive had someone tell me the last place i posted this was not in the right spot so please if this isnt the correct spot please dont freak out and want to murder me....

ok now i have a rom ok pokemon ruby (gen 3 game), i am hacking ruby and adding a snivy (gen 5 pokemon) i was wanting to know what moves in ruby would make him decently strong? i do not plan to let him evolve i just want him to be a strong starter and to last me though the game but to be able to hold his own..

again if this is not the correct spot please divert me to the correct place, please dont get all mad and want to throw me into a volcano. thank you.

[Peetzaahhh]

This question is for hacking... I havent seen a tut on this... How do you change battles... such as pokemon within, the trainer sprite (not just the sprite editing with the UNLZ program)... words said... adding special moves to the pokemon... if you cant answer ALL of them... just answer the first one... the pokemon within a battle

Thanks, (Hope this isnt in the wrong thread)

I'm new too... but to be honest, give it its B/W moveset or its evolutions movesets.... for new moves put different moves with basically same thing and same type.... or use move editors such as A-Tack to change the names of moves nd its efect.... so u can edit Pay Day (random!) change its PP, damage, accuracy, type, etc over payday and its name and save! hope I helped O.o

Here is the Snivy moveset with level and notes!

START Tackle
4 Leer
7 Vine Whip
10 Wrap
13 Growth
16 Leaf Tornado (NOW HERE EITHER EDIT A CURRENT MOVE WITH LEAF TORNADO'S INFO or CHOOSE ANOTHER GRASS-TYPE MOVE WITH ABOUT 65-70 POWER)
19 Leech Seed
22 Mega Drain
25 Slam
28 Leaf Blade
31 Coil (just get a move that ONLY increases Attack, Defense, Accuracy [by one stage] or 2 of the 3 or just one of the three.... if u want to edit it just put name, NO DAMAGE, and make it poison with a PP of 20)
34 Giga Drain
37 Wring Out (Got nothing for u here... sorry)
40 Gastro Acid (again got nothing... unless u can find a move that cancels ability... and make it poison for fun and change name xD)
43 Leaf Storm (a grass move with: PP:5|Power:140|Accuracy:90% or just a strong grass move with 5 PP)

hope it helped... if not sorry

[Chaos Rush]

Does anyone know the offset of the table containing the attack animations in Ruby, FireRed, or Emerald? Any one of the three will do.

1. Can you apply two/three ips/patchs to one rom?
2. Where do you find good tiles?
3. What is the size (in pixels) of a region map in Pokemon Fr/Lg?

1. No... because then the rom is changed and unless ips is made for that patched rom, no. It needs a clean FireRed/Ruby/Emerald/Sapphire/LeafGreen, etc O.o
2. ... beats me
3. umm... i think it would be size of emulator? there is a tut on it

a tut on add map in Ruby.... there it says pixelated size!

hope i helped

Hey everyone. I asked my following question in the wrong part of the forums before and have been directed to here, so if I'm in the wrong place, -IT WASN'T ME- xD

I'm just wondering if I can play Pearl, Diamond, Platinum etc. games on my Gameboid emulator for my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro. I haven't played any game from this gen yet and would love to give them a blast to see what they are like. If I can't use them on my current emulator, what emulator would be needed for me to use them?
Thanks for your help in advance

Gamboid is a Game Boy Advance emulator.
It will not run any DS games on it what so ever.

There are also no mobile version of a DS emulator as the dual screen is a massive issue for any phone to emulate.
I doubt there will be any mobile DS emulator's in the near future.

[Mdash2011]

OK. Cheers for that Nate. I guess I'll just have to invest in a laptop then

I do have another question incase anyone can help me but I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask it. It's about a specific Pokemon hack game.
Is this the right place to ask? If not could someone direct me to the correct thread xD

It is a pain but until phone technology improves, don't use them for emulation

This thread is about all things Emulation so you can ask away.
What's the Hack called?
If there is a thread for that game, we can re-direct you.

[Mdash2011]

I'm looking for a certain game that I played a while ago, but I can't remember what it's called or much about it. I'll describe all I know (which isn't a lot) and hopefully you can put a name to the hack.

-It's a hack of Pokemon Crystal.
-The evil team use mainly electric type Pokemon and have yellow outfits.
-Part of their secret base is in Dragon's Den.

I said I didn't have a lot of info but hopefully it'll help.

[Peetzaahhh]

I'm sorry, I dont know... but I need a question for myself:

Is there a way you move the city on the map... like placement... as if I want Pallet Town on Seafoam Islands.... how can you do that...

thnx for any help
BT

Hmmm I haven't played any GB Pokemon Hacks.

Your better off looking in the Hack's Showcase forum. If your lucky, It might be in there.

[Peetzaahhh]

if it is... it'll be a loooooooong time tough xD

Guys,
<minimoding>
This may be [Emulation] Simple Questions Thread, but... you should direct your hacking questions into ROM hacking section not here.
</minimoding>

[Peetzaahhh]

Oh, there's a specific ROM hacking question thread?

[Ash493]

You can ask in Simple Questions Thread.

[ShatteredRose]

Well, hopefully I can get some help and not get my head bit off.

I've been trying to play PMD: Explorers of Sky ROM using Desmume. The game does save. However, when I try to load up the game again, it is as if I have no save file. I've checked my paths (config > paths) and everything is good there. So why wouldn't Desmume be recognizing a .dsv save file?

I did so much research to find out how to make this game work. And the answers were always Desmume...but now it does not work. Ugh. Using latest version of Desmume.

Maybe download older version of DeSmuME?
I know that new versions of emulators sometimes might not work as the previous versions.

I did say that this thread should be left of hacking related questions, did not I...?
Well whatever... Shiny Gold was never OFFICIALLY finished. I think someone did finish Zel's work though.

[codyweis]

So where could I get the finished one? And does anyone know how to get it on an android phone!?
