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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

Thank you too, but sorry I can't link to anything like that on here. The post would probably be gone before you even see it (it's a copyright violation so yeah). I can however tell you that if the ROM you have has this MD-5 hash: 605B89B67018ABCEA91E693A4DD25BE3 then it's the exact same as what...

Hey, thanks for playing! Yeah PS-Split has to be patched in separately, by default the game uses the original Gen-3 battle system.

No, it's the right one. If the MD5 is the same, it's perfect. Yeah that's a frustrating issue when it comes to emulating these types of games. I used to actually use my PSP for emulation, but that clock problem was annoying. That and inaccurate VBlank timings (causing invalid IVs and PIDs on...

I'm not familiar with .cia files as I don't have a 3DS, but from what I can tell it's best to do all patching before turning the game into any other format. At 17:00 the outdoors areas should have the orange color, then at 19:00 it should switch to a pinkish-purple until 21:00 where it is then...

No worries! Battle Frontier is fully available as in normal Emerald, but there's a separate patch included that will also let you use all the 'restricted' Pokémon. The patch you need is apparently the Aug 20, 2020 update in the downloads section, it's just a link that goes to another post in...

It's either bad luck or some kind of glitch (though from other reports the Dex is able to be completed). Advance Map 1.95 shows the encounter rate for Zangoose to be 5% on Route 114, and 8% for Lunatone everywhere in Meteor Falls except for the Bagon Room (6%) and Steven's Area (13%). So the...
