Ah. No more fears, then! I will press on and get it, then know I can finally get what I want from whatever shops carry them. :D

Frankly, I'm only one Route away once I re-cross Mt. Zhery. Just have to decide which Pokémon to take with me.

I wanted to say "Who said you can't use Fly?" and then someone beat me to it... :/
Damn time :/

Have you picked HM Waterfall from Ash in Drakebreath's Mart?

Noo. I don't think I saw him in the market. I'll look again.

I have a minor (maybe) problem. I failed to beat Zero in the Distortion world and ended up in front of the pokecenter in Drakebreath. The guy that was standing in front of the gym is now gone.

Was I suppose to beat Zero? if so, what happens when you do beat him, and am I okay to continue on or should I reload a save and try again?

Cyclone October 24th, 2012 5:54 PM

To be safe, I'd load a prior save or save state. I never accept failure and always go back even after a basic loss as I don't want to miss something in any game.

For some reason when i load the game i get white screen. works on my phone version, but wanted to try the pc version. I'm using the vba emulator. i know there arent different versions, just different ways to get them.

Repatch the ROM or try another version of the ROM.

Meanwhile, MAJOR BUG ALERT (Route 412).


I was just mucking around on that right side of the lake when I ended up leaping over a log...and now I am waterlocked. To my good fortune, I am using savestates periodically while playing (writing a walkthrough, it helps with creating strategies), and resetting periodically so as to restore any odd data that might randomly be created, so I am not stuck and can go back to the Mt. Zhery entrance to the Route with no problem; I just want to warn anyone here not to run into the same bug. Consider it known, and I'm taking the liberty of doing something with that log (firewood anyone...actually, I just added a rock and left the right part of the log leapable) for a future build.

(And if you're wondering, yes, the rain was turned off for this image; I was running around creating screens for putting together a better looking version of the map than the editor shows. The rain is already back on in the working copy.)

In any case, the alternative is to end up in water battles (yes, the surfable tiles will activate battles if you were to actually change the flags to walk on them as well - this is a game thing, not a hack thing) until your Pokémon either get knocked out or you get run out of moves. In that case you wind up back at Groment City's Pokémon Center and back to Mt. Zhery you go.

Glad to see this finished and in English will download and play right now

Skyy October 24th, 2012 10:44 PM

Well I reloaded my save and had to travel back to Yellow town AGAIN and then all the way back and inside the cave and blah blah blah. Long story short: I beat Zero, Captured the legendary pokemon, beat the gym leader, and now I'm going after the ELITE 4 ( :

Wish me luck!

Hey, I'm not some free bank giving Waterfalls... that's Red's job.
Don't make me do more than giving you the ticket so you can beat my lame clone =D

Try these options in the emulator setup:

1. Sound output mode: None (fastest).
2. Sound desired sample rate: Low (fast).

The first option might make it work without the second option though. So try it with just the first option and if it still doesn't work, try it with both options at the same time.
If it doesn't work, I'm no help then lol.

This hack cannot be patched in FireRed ROM! It must be Ruby ROM.

Use NO$GBA emulator. Mine worked without any problems.

i dont think it's the emulator messing up, i think it's the game. gonna mess around and try to figure it out

just figured out it's the white screen that video was supposed to help with, but that solution NEVER works

Critx October 25th, 2012 4:23 PM

Use only VBA. Patch the hack again on a clean Ruby 1.0 version Rom.

Skyy October 25th, 2012 4:52 PM

Okay I ran into a problem. I'm underwater where you are suppose to dive to get to the ELITE 4 and everything looks all foggy with clouds and I can't see anything. I have no idea where I'm going. Any solutions?

Oh. There is a non-translated part. If you don't have dive and you try to dive, it will say something in Portuguese.

Can you post a screenshot? Or even better, tell me where it is and send me screenshots showing the entire text? That's one of the things Ash would be able to fix, and I can run it through a translator (or he can if he wants to).

Did you delete the .sav file from your previous attempt? And any other files created by the emulator?

Cyclone

I was originally going to post a screenshot but every time I hit "Prnt Scrn" and paste it onto Gimp, just a transparent canvas comes up. I guess I can try Photoshop.
As for the non-translated text, right when you come out of the victory road cave, you have to surf right until you reach a dark square patch of water. Hover over it and make sure a Pokemon doesn't know dive. If none of your Pokemon know dive and you hit the A button, the Portuguese language will come up. If your Pokemon do know dive, English text will come up asking if you would like to use dive.

The only other save file I deleted was the backup save I made. The saves for me are .SNP - I sometimes load my games right off of the in game saves. Either way, I always save both ways before quitting.
I really need to get through the underwater part but cannot because of the foggy cloud mist that I can't see anything in.
