I'll look into grabbing YAPE and seeing what's what right now. I dug a little and found a guide about preventing ROM corruption in Emerald version: "As many of us know, Advance Map by default searches out in Emerald for free space starting out at offset 0x6B0000. This is NOT free space in...

I'm only working with the appropriate 386 pokemon, so there shouldn't be an issue with pokemon overwriting each other. Which of the pokemon editors would you suggest?

Hey, so it's been a while since I did anything with hacking and I'm now getting into a Fire Red hack (which is honestly where I should've started). I've been able to answer most of my own questions (or at least find useful workarounds) so far, but this one falls outside my knowledge base...

I'm currently taking a break from my Gen 1 hack, but I'm essentially basing the difficulty curve of my game around "resources" like opportunities to heal and regenerate PP, rather than having it readily available to the player. It becomes more about surviving the campaign than about beating...

Been a little while since my last post. Looking at a "new game+" idea here. How involved would it be to have all the trainers and scripts reset while keeping your pokemon party and dex intact? Would also like to increase trainer levels and MAYBE wild pokemon. Obviously I would need all this...

So many pages ago I added an event that overwrote data in wram (flags) that overlapped with wild pokes data. I expanded the wram as suggested, but I appear to be running into the issue again. The script for giving the item runs, but it doesn't display all the appropriate text, and nearby wild...

So creating a new bank in the main.asm isn't an issue? Seems simple enough to do, so long as there is no issues of data being moved in problematic ways or things overlapping each other, which I'm afraid of, since many times I'm not keen to them.

Like the files it's trying to load are too big, or there is now extra files that don't fit? Problem is there's no PICS_9 bank in main.asm. There's 5 of them, but they're not consecutive nor do any of them fall 9th in the overall order of banks, so far as I can tell. The ones that look like...

So testing is going well, finding minor issues and correcting them as I go, although I'm getting a cygwin error that says it's "unable to load fixed ROMX section into bank $09". I checked for ROMX in the main.asm, but can only find bank "$9" not "$09". There's not much in "$9", and it's stuff...

Cool! Tested it a couple ways, pointing to PNGs doesn't work (I seem to recall ROMbase had a special file type for sprites) so I successfully pointed to the rgmon folder instead and voila! I'm sending a few of my buddies this version of the ROM for phase one play testing!

Thanks to Crystal_'s genius help, I know what the issue with my hack was. Hopefully those can be avoided in the future. HOWEVER, now that its working about like it should, I can't get the game to pull my swapped pokemon sprites. It only pulls the original RB sprites, even though I replaced...

Expiring? Crystal, do you have a DB account? If you send me your account name or whatever I'll add you to the appropriate folders. You can send it as a PM if you're worried about privacy.

github is not as easy to use as I expected. Even though I've added my edited pokered folder as a repository, I can't seem to jump the files to my new repository. It (thankfully) won't let me commit changes, because apparently my pokered folder is still tied to the original pokered disassembly...

Ya. I also tried to change the order of some Mons in the pokedex, which may also be related (I believe I may have tried flipping 2 Mons in the pokemon_constants.asm, which may have been a mistake). The problem persisted even with the blank slate ROM though. Let me work on getting that github...

I'll break down what I did with the images: So there are these folders under "pics" called "bmon", "rgmon", etc. The hold the red/blue sprites and japanese 3rd cart sprites respectively. I simply moved many of the rgmon sprite PNGs into the bmon folder, figuring the game would simply read the...
