Of course not. There's nothing we can edit in Game Cube games.

ohh, that`s dissapointing since i`ve seen SSBM with modified textures, stages and so, i thought someone had edited pokemon xd already

Maybe there's a way how to change text (I don't know that... I'm just guessing) but there surely are no tools.

I was wondering if there was a program that could convert GBA save files ; SPS to GSV/GSV to SPS or SAV to SPS/GSV because I only got a GameShark SP to use gamesaves with, and I haven't found any emulators running .GSV save files. No ''Pokemon Maker'' software works with GameShark SP either, so I'm quite dissapointed. Is it possible to convert my LeafGreen GSV to a SPS one and vice-versa, either by a program or via hex editing? GiraDialKia told me to post my question here, since my problem is very similar to other's

I really wanna play some of these ROM hacks, but I can't find a good IPS Patcher for OS X that actually WORKS. I've downloaded a few, labelled at "Mac" but theyre EXE files and its really annoying, does anyone have a link to a GOOD and WORKING IPS Patcher?

[Hybrid Trainer]

Have you looked here? This site has always seemed to be the main website when it comes to rom patchers and other rom related tool.

Thanks but that patcher doesn't work on OS X Mountain Lion.

[Hybrid Trainer]

Are you sure you tried them all? there's one called UIPS at the bottom of the page that I've heard works quite well with more recent macs.

I'm on a Mac, and I'm using Winebottler. I am trying to hack a Ruby ROM and am able to use Advance map to do so. However, none of the other hacking tools i download work (Advance text, advance trainer, etc.) because winebottler will not open them. Does anybody have any idea what i can do???

Hey guys, I've been hearing about emulators lately, and I am so new to them. What exactly are they and where can I go to play decent ones? I really need someone to help me through this, please and thank you! ;
Feel free to also PM/VM me about it, if you'd like!

Emulators are self explanatory. They emulate.
So in the most case of this forums, it's a GBA and DS emulator.

All they are are, programs written in code that are created to basically re-create a console onto a PC.
It can take an extremely long time to get one working.

You can find a few GBA and DS emulators on the web. Best site for it would be emulator zone.
There is also emulators out there for the Nintendo64, PS2, PS1, SNES and more.

To be able to run games on these emulators, you need to get an image of the original game. So for example, a GBA and DS game is called a ROM image.
It's basically an ISO but for SD cards.

If you want more info on emulators, PM me =]

Hey guys, I'm asking this for my friend who knows little about pokemon, at least the technical side of the game. He wants to do a Togepi solo Metronome-only run on LeafGreen, so he used advance starter to start with Togepi, but hus metronome only uses Haze over and over. Anyone have any idea why this would happen? Im asking here b/c it seems like something wrong with the emulation, not LG.

When I run my game it gets past the part where I set up controls and then before it shows the intro video I get this error along with a debug console

Script 'Trading' line 761: Errno::ENOENT occured.

No such file or directory - MysteryGift.txt

Now I understand its saying a file is missing here, however the game was just working a minute ago, I reset it to put it in debug mode, and now I'm getting this error. Is this common? Has anyone else seen this? What should be done to fix the error?

I understand I may need to add a MysteryGift.txt file, that's fine, but under what directory and with what contents inside?


Thanks for any help you can give me


Edit: The game however works fine outside of debug mode, for some odd reason (hope this is helpful)

So I patched a hack .ips with the LIPS program with the appropriate ROM (in coordination with the hack itself), but the emulator always launches the original game and not the hack. I'm selecting the ROM that was patched over, but it doesn't launch the way it should.

I don't get what's wrong :\

You need to patch a clean ROM...
If it still doesn't work then there must be something wrong with LIPS you use...

It's a new one, and I got the LIPS from the official website :\ not sure what's up.

Whenever I try to play games like Pokemon Uranium and Pokemon Shiny Gold with DesmuME, I get an error.

Then play them on GBA emulator?

[Bananaman]

Sorry if my question has been asked before, but I searched it and couldn't find it.

When I try to play Pokemon Diamond on No$GBA, it says the rom image has crashed. I'd appreciate any help on how to fix this. Please?

[Ph3nom3nal]

Okay new question. Playing 1st or 2nd gen games/hacks the coloring is off. Like red is pink and stuff. Oh, btw playing on VisualBoyAdvance

Either use DeSmuME or set Cartridge Backup on FLASH 512kB in No$'s emulation options, save options and reset the game.

[Bananaman]

I tried that, but it won't work. I'll try DeSmuME.

[Ph3nom3nal]

No one knows my answer to the coloring of 1st and 2nd gen games?

[SpadeEdge16]

So, I'm pretty sure I've seen this question somewhere before, but I didn't want to go digging for it...
How come when I load my ROM the screen is white? Please don't tell me it's anything too bad, because I do have a backup, but I haven't made too many changes between my current file and the backup. :/
