You must start a new game by playing with latest 3.3 beta release.

You can patch the game your progress won't be lost just new changes would occur, no need to worry you will be the place where you were when you last saved.

I love playing this hack, I have 17 badges and I'm currently on Orange Islands. I seem to have gotten stuck here, the cave on Route 53 and caves on Sandway Town are blocked by Nexus Grunts. Also I can't enter Cave Of Wisdom as some guy is blocking it and saying it is closed due to mysterious things going on. Please help, Thanks!

There is no way you can do this. Try to read previous pages and you will see by your self in this hack any more

I have tried it, I made hack of emerald(not released here), then I used my sav file from the unhacked version and was in the location where I saved last in the original game.(In PC of Dewford I think).

Yes but how much did you play of it then. You would find that you would not get very far without crashing or running into a ton of bugs and errors.

See the new patch is just an upgrade for the game, so it won't effect the gameplay at all. One can just continue as there is no change in the locations, pokemons. It would be just some bug fixes and new locations.

This is so wrong, I don't even know where to start explaining. Look at it this way, if I tried to use a save file for, let's say, The Legend of Zelda on Pokémon, would you expect it to work? Of course not!

The principle is the same. We've changed so much data around that, for all intents and purposes, LC is no longer FireRed in any make shape or form.

ETA: Apparently, some people don't understand the use of analogies...

You speak to the grunt directly north of the crystal shop, the one who stops you going into the middle entrance, then go speak to the crystal shop owner. If I remember right, it continues the storyline.

@Jombo51: I say the sav from LC of beta 1 can be used for beta 3. I don't mean the use of FR sav for LC.
So the new patch can be used for the game with the old patch.

[Jambo51]

It's the same principle. Any save file from Beta 3.1 or before is COMPLETELY incompatible with Beta 3.2 or above. That's because 3.2 (and upwards) has a completely different memory structure.

Pokémon Liquid Crystal Beta 3.1 and below saves DO NOT WORK with Beta 3.2 or later. At all. Whatsoever. There is no way around this. Please stop saying you can, because you can't.

However, any save made using Beta 3.2 (or anything after Beta 3.2) IS compatible with the latest releases!

Yay! A crystal remake! Right now I am playing Gold and I saw this and thought that this will be my next one.

[StormVentus]

This is an awesome remake, and I plan on doing this game on my youtube channel if that's alright. :3

[ganesha]

See if the sprites are different, tiles are different then there no way we can use. But when the basic things are same then we use for sure. Do you mean that beta 3.1 has different look than the latest?

Hello everyone, been a while since I was around here. Just wanted to let everyone know that I have another 2 weeks left of this half of University term, then I get 3 weeks off for Easter. This is when I'll be back working on LC again.

For now though, I would like to introduce a ne, quick and simple way to report a bug directly to me. Currently people have been posting bugs onto the main wall as well as in this discussions section. I'm now keeping an up to date log of all bugs in a todo list application, where you can publicly see the list and priority of the bugs. This is now the preferred method of submission, using the Submit a Bug option from the sidebar on the left of the project page on RHO Social or the Official Liquid Crystal site.

How to submit
This will ask you to enter a bug description and priority for the bug. Since I use this same Todo list to manage my personal and university life I will be notified via email as well as the todo list of new reports. This method of submission will be the fastest method to have bugs fixed.

All of the currently logged bugs on the system are available from a link on the submit page, Current Bugs & Todo List, attached to this post.

What about the bugs here
When I get some free time I'll go through and do a periodic check of all the bugs reported around here since the last time I did that, adding them to the list ready to be fixed. This happens every couple of months, so not very often. If you want a bug fixed asap then I suggest using the new Submit a Bug form.

Using the IRC to submit bugs
if you're on any of the RHO IRC channels #liquidcrystal and happen to come across a bug, you can use the .lcbug command to submit a bug to the same system right from the chat line. For example, type ".lcbug The game crashes when talking to your rival" and the bug will be logged with the highest priority.

Useful Links
The following methods of bug submission have been added to the first post.

• On the Liquid Crystal Project page on RHO Social, using the Submit a Bug option on the sidebar.
• From the Submit a Bug link on the Official Liquid Crystal site.

Click for a list of bugs currently logged in the new system.

I was wondering, how does Slowpoke evolve into Slowking?

[Mattysoxfan]

Wut? I never mentioned anything graphical? I talked about memory structures and variables.

Look, trust me, I made the LC save structure, and I KNOW using saves from older versions of LC doesn't work, the game simply refuses to read them (claims they are corrupt).

You speak to the grunt directly north of the crystal shop, the one who stops you going into the middle entrance, then go speak to the crystal shop owner. If I remember right, it continues the storyline.

ah thanks for the correction, i was a bit stuck so i talked to every NPC i could.

Laz?,
Some people say your game isn't a remake anymore , you made your own of it...

FOR ME THAT'S NOT TRUE, YOUR GAME IS THE BEST REMAKE, BETER THAN SHINY GOLD. (Gold Remake)

Except it is true. If anything it is both. The crystal portion is already remade. But there are tons of things added to it, such as with team Saturn and the islands.

Well both are awesome hacks but Crystal Dust only Covers the events in Johto and is a remake of it while LC covers both Kanto and Johto as well 2 Orange Island gyms and offers plenty of new areas a well as events other than the original ones. So here you go the choice is yours........

[Bojar]

I need help with Orange Islands... I battled everyone in lighthouse and went to next city... i tried to go in Crystal Caves South Entrance North of Sandway town but one of Grunts talk to me that i cant go in... I tried everything and dont know what to do.... Somebody help?

[brenx96]

To everyone who is asking about the nexus guards. In sandaway talk to the guy who is in the house where they have the crystal artwork(he has a charmeleon) He will go after one of the guards in sandaway and you can enter the cave. Also does anyone know what to do after you get to safari town. Or is that as far as it goes atm?
