Emerald hack: Pokémon CrystalDust [v3 PUBLIC ALPHA]

[Chaos Rush]

SuperPotion is a recolored Potion (although it was never supposed to be a Potion

It's not a translation fail. The Japanese name for Potion is kizu gusuri (which means medicine/ointment), while the Japanese for Super Potion is ii kizu gusuri, which means "good" medicine/ointment. And the Japanese name for Hyper Potion is sugoi kizu gusuri, which means "amazing" medicine/ointment. I really don't see how they're translation fails, they're just subtly changed for the sake of localization. What, were you expecting them to be called, "Ointment", "Good Ointment", and "Amazing Ointment"?

@diegoisawesome: Just letting you know that your hack has some serious glitches when saving on actual hardware.

F**k. Of course I meant SecretPotion.

Who on the Earth would need to resprite SuperPotion?

Ah, another second generation remake. I say that happily as those were my favourite games in the series. Will there be any new areas, or any such thing? How about third generation Pokémon? Remixed music? Anyhow, you appear to have a lot of work done so I wish you the best of luck with the remainder of the hack.

Yeah, I know that saving on real hardware has massive glitches; this is caused by JPAN's 'fixed' variable hack. He released a fix for it, but only for FireRed...

Haha, I knew what you meant.

Well, if you consider a new region to be a new area... ;)
Third gen Pokémon? In the new region.
Remixed music? Already in.
Thanks for the post!

This beats LiquidCrystal & ShinyGold(X) by a long shot, I love what you did with the PokeNav!

 

[Aussie Riolu]

Hmm strange. I just updated and that Ecruteak Gym glitch still happens although that Ice Punch thing is fixed. Maybe because I activated that script on accident which caused it to repeat?

I do have a save state before it happened so I'll have to test that out later...

That's really odd... Try that save file out and report what happens.

Yeah, they changed the levels to make it more like recent games. I've kept the levels the same because of the way I remade Crystal. Glad to hear you're enjoying CrystalDust!

Looks fun however the name sounds like a drug :p

Crackhead: Time to snort some CrystalDust! >:3

 

[Aussie Riolu]

OK just checked it. If you activate that script in Ecruteak Gym before awakening the Legendary Beasts, it will infinitely loop when you go in there. If you awaken them first and then go to the Gym, it won't activate at all and you can challenge the Gym Leader.

EDIT: Actually...I just tested it again but activating the script before the beasts. It doesn't activate now. Apparently since the save was from the older beta, it caused glitches. My bad... I think because I activated the script on an older beta, it caused it. But it seems to work fine when I went back to an older save state, saved and then reset so the newer beta was applied or something like that.

Glad to hear you've sorted out your issue. I'm happy you're able to keep playing!

I finished played on VBA, and I not found some bug.
But, when I played it on gpSP,
I found 2 bug.
1.I can't go to Ecruteak City gym
2.After I defeated my rival in Burned tower, I can defeated him again

Sorry if my English is bad

Both of those glitches are fixed in the latest version of the game. You can download it from the link in the first post.

Great hack so far. How far can you go in Kanto?
Is Lugia & Ho-Oh catchable yet?
And last but not least, any approx time until beta 3 is done?

Best Regards,
Faltora

1. You can go to Indigo Plateau in Kanto.
2. The legendary birds are not catchable yet.
3. No ETA yet, sorry.

Thanks for the fast answer. Alot of my budds(9 peeps) have started playing this hack on our EZ Flash IVs and enjoy it very much. May I ask how much you have done since the last update? :)

Edit: Also is trading working? We haven't had time to test it out yet.

Edit2: The rival encounter in the Tower where you first meet Euisune seems bugged. The game just freezes. :<

When did you download the patch? That glitch was already fixed a while ago...

Got it from your website, o15.com.

And the link labeled: "Download the Latest CrystalDust IPS Patch (2.0)!"

Edit: Tested it on the computer too with my save file, but it still says something like "Rival a " *text is removed* *music continues* and the game freezes. :/ Happend
for all of my buds. I played this before once and I never had any issues before.

Well, I asked when, not where, but that's a different bug altogether. Can EZFlash save 128kb files? If so, set them to save that type of file. This glitch is happening because of the rival's name being deleted in the save file. Also, there's not much I can do for your current save file, unless you send it to me. Then I might be able to try to fix it manually.
