were you able to save the game? after beating the elite four, try going to Olivine City or Cianwood (whichever one has the ship) and you should be able to board the boat and go to Vermillion City in Kanto.

You can find the latest version (Beta 5) of Shiny Gold in the Hacks Showcase, in the thread "Pokemon Shiny Gold!". it is an IPS patch which is found in the attachments in the thread at the bottom of the first post, so you might to read This Thread in order to find out how IPS patches work.
Hope that helps.

No, you have to delete the SAV file then, before you open the rom change the save settings to 128k, Flash. Unfortunetly you'll have to reset your game...

hey zel or any1 can u tell me wat to do about the huge rock in the rock tunnel? or is that 4 the next beta or final release? :S ty!

Usually, those big rocks will remain till the last release, when some will be moved away, or others will remain in order for you to make you something before progressing further.

im not sure if this has been answered or not but... where exactly do you get the ghost buster?

At Silph, in Saffron, a policeman will tell you a thief with a Pikachu broke in and stole something. Find the thief on R6 and recover the stolen stuff, but, when you go back to Silph, you'll notice something, just make your way to the top of the building and take care of everything. You'll then get a non-working Ghostbuster, if you want to fix that, just pay attention to what the president and his assistant tell you. How to fix it specifically was probably discussed a few times on this thread already.

Where can you find Skarmory?

 

[sirboulevard]

Skarmory should be on route 45 like it was in GSC.

What's with the rock blocking the cave in the dragons den?

Those rocks mean that those places are inaccessible at the moment.

If I go through that whole process of deleting the sav and changing the emulator save type to 128k, will I be forced to lose all my game data if I want to go farther than the elite four? I'm only at the eighth gym, and I've been using save states the whole way through the game. Will I have to start all over?

Golbat does evolve with Happiness.

You could try just hugging the left wall or something as soon as you enter. Theoretically you should be able to get through eventually. You could also just catch an extra pokemon as a flash slave (like hoppip).

Most likely, yes. The new Flash savetype usually only applies when you start a new game. Try it, and if it doesn't work, you'll have to start all over.

There's an FAQ thread for general emulation questions like this. Remember to look at that in the future.

If anyone knows where to find the Thunderstone, that would be great.

 

[sirboulevard]

There are only 2 ways to get the Thunderstone in B5; you can get one from Bill's Grandfather or you get one by battling the Dragon's Den trainers in a certain order (I got a Water Stone from them though, so I dont what it is)

 

[KissTheSkull656]

hey i am stuck in SG
when i beat the Elite Four it starts the game over and i cant get to Kanto
could someone please tell me what is going on with this?

 

[sirboulevard]

You need to change the save settings to 128k and start over. Also check the previous posts, this one has been asked millions of times already.

Pokemon Center PC Problem/Bug?

For some reason, I cannot access the Pokemon Center PC. I have heard (briefly) of the "Killing PC" bugs (so far only happened at Route 32/Lavender), but I do not think this is it. Whenever I try to access the PC, the screen seemed to black out (not freeze).

I did not progress quite far into the game, so the only Pokemon Center I have access to so far is Cherrygrove, Violet, and Route 32. It first happened when I tried to go into my boxes in Violet City. The Item Box seems to work fine.

Could trading be the cause of this unintended bug? In an attempt of getting all 3 starters, I traded the starters to my real Fire Red saves, then restart a new SG game and traded them back.

All helps are welcomed, and thanks in advance.

P.S. My hats are off to Zel & the SG development team for creating this fantastic remake.

 

[Shadows]

I went to Kurt with the GS Ball and he didn't do anything, do I need to do something before that?

Spoiler:

Call Prof. Elm after you have 2 beaten 2 kanto gyms.

Basically, just bumping this thread in case more people need help with the game and they cant find this thread.

I really dont try trading a lot (specially trading from FR to SG) so I dont think trading can cause problems (if anyone knows it does, let me know)
I'd try with a different FR(U) rom, just in case. That kind of weird stuff always leads us to think that are problems in the patching process or in the rom.
