    Not by default. The method involves editing the tiles in question to have a 'lit' color you want but only for a certain palette (preferably an unused palette, usually like one of the higher number ones in A-Map's block editor). A-Map lets you edit the colors directly too, but only palette...

    PokemonKanto linked to it on page #14 of the alternate thread, here's the link itself: https://www.hackromtools.info/dns-day-night-and-seasons/ There's also a patch (on the previous page) to be applied to the program itself. It fixes a clock issue when playing on non-VBA emulators and real...

    Emerald hack: Pokémon CosmicEmerald Version [Updated! 12/24/2019]

    Thank you too for the kind words. It's really good to see that this game is still appreciated, especially with the disassembly-based hacks taking things to another level. They should, since I didn't change any of the functions related to it that I know of. Mystery Gift, on the other hand, does...

    Emerald hack: Pokémon CosmicEmerald Version [Updated! 12/24/2019]

    Very little actually. I haven't really had the patience these days to get back into it, especially since there's lots of other things I've been having to worry about. I still want to make at least one final update to it that fixes as many issues as possible, and also changes the look of the...

    Thank you too for the kind words, adraido. You're right, the patches are all compatible with each other, both before and after being applied. The only time they overlap on things is with the patches that are meant to turn on/off the effects of another one. These are labeled something like...

    Emerald hack: Pokémon CosmicEmerald Version [Updated! 12/24/2019]

    TBH I haven't extensively tested how the new RNG system works, but the usual Emerald method of starting a new file every ~50 tries should work at least. If you have a timing tool of some kind you could use it to check what you get if you land on the same frame multiple times over the span of a...

    I really admire your dedication to the games, it's similar to how I feel about them and also why I got into ROM hacking and still play even today. I hope everything goes the way you are aiming for! The chance for shiny Rayquaza is supposed to be 1/200 in CosmicEmerald, though I can't quite...

    Emerald hack: Pokémon CosmicEmerald Version [Updated! 12/24/2019]

    I don't know the exact process these sellers are using to get the game on the cartridges, but one aspect I'm sure won't work is the folder system of patches I've included. The download on the main post of this thread is a '.ZIP' folder, which includes not just the patch of the game itself but...

    Emerald hack: Pokémon CosmicEmerald Version [Updated! 12/24/2019]

    I think this is a result of whoever sold my hack (despite me saying not to, in flashy red letters, on the first screen in the game), not understanding how these games work. That cartridge apparently doesn't have the real-time clock built in, probably because it would cost the seller a bit more...

    Thank you! Yes, you can get both of them (Root and Claw Fossil) the same way as in normal Emerald. Though if you're talking about Omanyte and Kabuto's fossils, those are not available but those two Pokémon can be found at Faraway Island.

    For Entei, it should appear when you walk towards the upper-right section of Mt. Chimney as long as it's 'late afternoon', or as long as outdoor areas have a kind of deep orange/red tint. Suicune shows up on Route 123 when the screen is a light purple/pink, or during twilight. There's a post...

    They're in the same locations as in regular Emerald: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/In-game_trade#Pok.C3.A9mon_Emerald Yes, after Lati@s is gone then Legendary Bird Trio shows up in order. Though after you get one of them then visit the PkMn Center again to activate the next one...

    Emerald hack: Pokémon CosmicEmerald Version [Updated! 12/24/2019]

    Hey Porygon 3, that is definitely a strange issue but sadly I don't really know how to go about fixing it. I don't know how the in-game system really works beyond setting what times the color changes happen, and otherwise just implementing the feature itself through the interface. The code...

    Emerald hack: Pokémon CosmicEmerald Version [Updated! 12/24/2019]

    All I can remember is just from the guide, such as the 3 Legendary Beasts, Jirachi, Lapras, and some sort of minor things like music changes on a few maps and Nurse Joy's dialogue when you heal your team. There's probably a few other things but they're likely just other aesthetic things.

    Emerald hack: Pokémon CosmicEmerald Version [Updated! 12/24/2019]

    I don't know if there's a way if you're playing on a cartridge, unless it can be patched to have a specific default time on the clock. Unfortunately, I have no idea where that data is stored or how it works. Maybe it's somewhere in the disassembly project, but I couldn't find anything related to...
