FireRed hack: Pokémon Cobalt [Indefinite Hiatus]

[Wyvern123]

Hey Spherical Ice, Just wanted to say the patch works beautiful. It took me quite a bit to get back to were i was due to my brother getting into my room and closing out the VBA. I didn't even save the state. My little brother decided that it would be funny to do that and it got him a punch in the shoulder. He may be annoying but he's family. Anyway, i will let you know if i find anymore bugs that need to be fixed for people to progress in the game.

Hey Spherical Ice found another bug. The bug appeared in the Gold Desert's cave. When i exited and got the gold pokeball that requires HM06 i went back in and the game had a black screen. The music was still running. And when i tried to move i heard bumps all around me. I could not take a single step.

Fixed! If you have a save state in Gold Ridge, you'll need to exit and re-enter the map in order to fix the bug when you redownload. Sorry!

I think you should just delete everything and patch completely clean. I forgot to remove the older patches and that obviously confused you.

I've fixed some bugs and done some remapping. The very glitchy and kind of unnecessary SideSystem has been removed. The sidequests now just give items - I think that whole concept was kind of dumb. Please redownload.

This wouldn't work for me on something like an EZ-Flash IV, right? Just wondering since you are suggesting using save states

Many people have been able to get ingame saving to work so I think something is up with the ROM, not emulators, so I can't guarantee it working. Sorry about that ):

This hack looks very promising! I mean, a Fakemon Remover Patch? That's awesome! I think more hacks should have something like that.

I noticed something strange and this might be the reason it's difficult to get in game saving to work. When I examine the properly patched Pokemon Cobalt rom with GBATA, I noticed I get the following:

"Save Type: NONE"

I have noticed a similar issue when using the EZ-Flash Client. The save information by default is 256k, whereas a clean rom of something like Pokemon FireRed or Emerald or whatever is 1024k. Not sure if that's what the issue is, but it very well could be

Hey! I started playing today and i noticed a bug: when you start the game, talk to your mom and get out of the house and go check the mail box hitting the "foward key" (up /\ ) a "landing" animation plays (like when you use fly).
Anyway, great hack and you did such an amazing job by adding the 4th&5th Gen moves to the game, really improves the gameplay experience... and the 64x64 sprites... perfect!

I haven't tested this out yet, but have you sent the ROM to the EZ-Flash IV with it manually changed to 1024Kbits and FLASH save? Maybe the header for the game was changed, so the client doesn't recognize the game as Pokemon FireRed. I believe this is what DestinedJagold did with his hack too.

Yes, I manually changed it to FLASH memory and 1024k, but sadly it didn't work =\ I remember when I first tried to load ShinyGold on my EZ-Flash IV, I needed to fix the header and it worked, but there isn't an option to fix the header in this rom within GBATA for whatever reason

love it so much right now, i am playing it.

Well, I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the ROM itself but I'm not sure how to even start to fix it.

Thanks for that bug, I didn't catch that.

Now, I've been doing some rearranging of the maps. Instead of entering Hoenn via Fallarbor Town, which, with some thought, makes little sense seeing as that part is a mountain range, you enter via the much more logical Slateport City. As such, Garnet's gym is now in Slateport City. Additionally, this means that Hoenn Port is at the north of Felith, instead of the south. This prompted me to reorganise Felith completely, which has made some of the maps change order.

I've also mapped out almost all of Hoenn, with only the areas from Fortree City through to Lilycove City being unmapped (excluding the water areas, which I'm still on the fence about including.)

Have some screenshots.

The new Felith map, and an updated Corona Walk.

Hoenn, Slateport City, and Slate Shore.

Mauville City.

Verdanturf Town, Rustturf Tunnel, and Rustboro City.

Chimney Valley and Fiery Path.

Petalburg Woods and Littleroot Town.​

Just for clarification, this stuff isn't in the download yet.

Sweeet, loving the hoenn maps.
