First, you must defeat Cynthia at Noormeak City (Zhery).
Then, go to the top of Mt. Oren (Lauren). Palkia is at the right gate & Dialga is at the left gate.

By the way, I am running VBA 1.7.4 on Mac OSX, if that matters.

TO FIX THE "WHITE SCREEN" PROBLEM:

1. Download the VBA on the first page of this thread.
2. Download the suggested v1.0 Ruby ROM (Google it).
3. Download the English Beta 2 patch on the first page.
4. Double click on the IPS file and then find your ROM in the new window.
5. Double click on the ROM. A window will pop-up saying it's patched.
6. Open the ROM in the VBA.
7. On the VBA, go under Options > Emulator > Save Type > 128K.
8. Play through the game, and if any other problems are encountered, re-patch the ROM up to three times. If it is still having problems, report it on this thread describing the exact problem and send a video (Instructions are in one of my previous posts) to either me or Ash493. We'll try to help you fix it.

You've proably got the base ruby ROM wrong, as I had the same problem (also VBA on Mac). Search POKEMON RUBY USA and you should be ok from there.

EDIT: Never mind, searched the thread and figured it out.

would u mind telling me what happend and how to fix it :)

It seems like a poor design choice if it is impossible to heal in the first town, considering that battle with the team steam member injures our only pokemon, even if only slightly... How do you get to the second town without losing a large amount of money?

...Especially if one of your only pokemon gets poisoned in the first match. It's frustrating to just watch that money go away.

rockerzz182 December 27th, 2011 4:57 AM

Just fight the trainers at the start of the game to level up it doesnt matter if you loose because it wont cause you a penny at the start of this game..

Storm980 December 27th, 2011 12:14 PM

I made this account JUST to play this game, because I dont know how to get it to work on my emulator. Im using the latest Visual Boy Advance and I have no idea whatsoever on how to make this game playable. Any suggestions?

Ok ive found my problem, whenever I try to open the .ips file with VBA it shows: 'Error Opening Image'

HELP ME D:

Sounds like you patched it wrong if you can't get it to open at all. What OS are you using, and which software are you using to patch? I use UIPS (Working version is on Romhacking.net) for Mac, and I think Lunar IPS is solid for Windows. Remember to get correct base Ruby ROM, then open patcher, select IPS file, then ROM then you should be ok.

Storm980 December 27th, 2011 3:46 PM

Im using WIndows 7 and Lunar IPS.

Can you link me to a correct Ruby ROM and the correct file?
That would be great :)

Wait, I just need a Ruby ROM because Im never sure if I have the right version.

Ive tried EVERYTHING and still nothing! Why cant there just be a complete packaged rom that you download once and then just play!?

Google Pokemon Ruby USA and you can't go far wrong.

And it's not packaged into one ROM because it's illegal otherwise.

Ok I downloaded the very first Ruby.
I downloaded the English .ips.

I applied the .ips

IT STILL DIDNT WORK D:

Actually you lose half of your money for your first loss...

It's still frustrating, because you can waste time and try to catch new Pokemon on the route who will be crippled...

Not to mention, why doesn't the first town with a mart sell pokeballs? And why is the first mart that sells any kind of balls ultra balls?

This hack just has some strange pacing...

Hey Andy how did you install the game?

I have no luck at all.

That's weird then. Only thing is to try a different version of VBA? You've got 128k set in preferences right?

Storm980 December 27th, 2011 4:36 PM

Precisely 128k.

I'll try the last version of VBA.

For some reason the zip file im using spazzed out and wouldnt open the file for the last VBA, do any other emulators work with this?

EVERY
SINGLE
TIME

It says: 'Unsupported file type'

YES YES YES YES OMFG YES!!!
I FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK!

WAIIIITT...

Im not sure if I even have the full version.

I downloaded the English Beta 2...

ISNT THAT THE FULL VERSION .-.?

So its NOT the full version....

O.
M.
G.

The only full version I can get is in Portugese.

I DONT UNDERSTAND PORTUGESE BNEFNESKNGNRK

Where is the gym leader of the 6th gym, I've already been in whole the city but he isn't in the gym?

Levy_Jxtreme December 28th, 2011 9:43 AM

White Screen
 
Ok I have tried everything.

Downloaded the english patch...
Downloaded many versions of Ruby (including the 1.0v)
Using the latest VBA

...Nothing... -_-'

I have been at this for little over an hour patching different base ruby roms and still getting nothing. And yes I followed all instructions many people here posted.

Need help please.

OH
MAH
GAWD

I had the exact same problem as you just yesterday. Go to the official website for the hack, get the English ips. I cant remember where I got my Ruby ROM though... let me check

Ok, the exact name of the file of the ruby rom I got it to work on is:

0907 - Pokemon - Ruby Version (U) (v1.0)

Does anyone here know how to evolve a Snorunt into a Froslass in the game?

I want to use one later on when I get the chance, and Ive seen outdated videos from old betas where Snorunt evolves various ways.

The question is, how does it evolve NOW?

Do you have it set to 128k Flash?

Options>Emulator>SaveType>128k


That should do it.

TBDM December 29th, 2011 5:05 PM

I was wonder if anyone could give me a new link to the gba english format of the final version of this game because on his main website it links to a dead file due to inactivity for 30 days.

and it turns to be a dead link cause it has expired..i would appreciate it so much.
Thank you very much :)
