Amazing 😂 Were you aware the full game is out as of a few weeks ago?

I never thought I'd see the day that this game ever got an update, but thanks to the work of one hacksrepairman, the game has been completed from notes I wrote as a child! Wow! Honestly, it blows my mind that people still care about Shining Opal in the year of our lord NBA 2K23. This game...

Honest question: did you name yourself Mikachu after the Shining Opal character?

I don't really post on PC these days but I felt the need to add my two cents here for whatever reason. While I understand the core intent of this post and the desire to save people time, energy, and frustration, there's no denying that this post comes across as somewhat elitist due to its...

Hi, just want to let you know that following the steps in the "Limitations of the GBA (And How to Get Past Some of Them)" section will cause you to use 0x1E0 more bytes in IWRAM, and has the potential for IWRAM data to run into the stack space and cause random glitches and crashes. To use this...

Yeah, what that bit there means is that I just didn't want it reposted anywhere else without permission but thank you for checking anyway! :D

Huh really? I honestly don't think there's enough to go on but I guess he can contact me if he's really interested.

Thank you!

Hi! I only ever come on here every few months or so as I've mostly fallen away from the ROM hacking space, and that's all I ever used PokéCommunity for. Glad to hear you're a fan though!

It's open source for a reason! However, the art assets and music that aren't from FireRed may not be open; since I don't have the time to remember who exactly to ask for what, err on the side of caution and only use code I wrote or resources that were directly ripped from FireRed.

I mean, there's not really much to go off of, unfortunately. It's not like other hacks where it's maybe 80% complete or more and the final 20% can be done by someone that extrapolates from what's already there. When I stopped working on Shining Opal, I only ever had vague plans on where it would...

There have been a few bugfix patches that have come out, fixing various issues that have been found, including more fixes for the My Boy! emulator. Get it at https://domoreaweso.me/games/pokemon-crystaldust !

As far as I'm aware, an EverDrive with a dead battery won't even save properly, so that's the least of your worries. Though, I could just unlock the built-in RTC reset screen, after I do some tweaks to make it more user-friendly... We'll see, I guess.

Thanks for the bug, it's fixed now and will be in the next alpha build. Regarding resetting the clock, what are you wanting to do exactly? If it's because your emulator doesn't support the real-time clock, then I think there's a better way to fix that, and I'll implement it in a future build.

And thank you for playing! Awesome! You were using My Boy!, right? This issue should be fixed in the new patch. Thank you! Thanks! A new patch has come out, v3.0.0-alpha.0.2, that fixes the aforementioned staircase crash and a few other minor things. Get it at...
