[Other] leaf green or fire red?

[18gns9bk]

Hey
im new to hacking and that
ive started a hack on leaf green, but ive noticed there isnt really any where that has other leaf green hacks on fire red.
Is there a reason why most people use fire red instead?

 

[Neo-Wolf]

FireRed has more compatible tools. Just this reason. It makes FR easier to hack than LeafGreen. :)

No, if you were wasting time, you would be sat doing nothing. You aren't wasting time, and actually, if you make a really good hack of Leaf Green, you can probably then inspire more Leaf Green hacks, which people seem to hardly ever make, or at least mention making.

Keep to Leaf Green if you want, or change.

yeah, you're not wasting time

it's something similar to emerald, some people don't use it because there are not enough tools( but the mayor problem is the space xD)

advance map, overwolrd editor, xse, unzl and other works for leafgreen( I think) and that are the most essential tools, but choose whatewer you want, after all it's your choice :)

...which isn't a problem at all. ROM expansion, anyone?

xse only acepts 6 digits offsets

And i don't erase the rom scripts, last time I try was a total failure xD

 

[Sarcastic Prince]

Both. But I prefer FR.
Reason? I don't know why.
It just sounds right when you Hack FR so that's why.

I don't really think it matters. they both have basicly the same engine and maps and scripts.

What tools DON'T work on leafgreen?

 

[Ray Maverick]

First of all, most of the hackers prefer hacking FR, which means we know a lot more about FR than LG. Well, there isn't much difference, apart from the TitleScreen. :D
Second of all, it's not that the tools aren't working with LG, its that most of the tools work better on FR than LG. I tried loading a LG Rom to YAPE, and when i loaded it on advanced map, it was screwed up. :tired:

 

[DarthPika]

i don't know why but everyone just hacks fire red for some reason.
i don't see why tools wouldn't work for both.

leaf green. .. .. . .. . . . . . . .. . . .

I think the main reason is convenience. If people only hack ruby, fire red and maybe emerald then you need to download (illegally...) 2 or 3 ROMS rather than the full 5 to cover all possible hacks.
