    Can we change difficulty in the middle of playthrough?
    I realized Normal is too tough for me :(
    Sorry if my question has already been answered.

    Not after starting a playthrough, unfortunately.

    Out of curiosity, does "ROWE" stand for "Romhack Open World Edition"?

    Many thought it was "Real Open World Emerald". Some thought it was "Riolu's Open World Emerald". Believe it or not, it's actually "Rayquaza's Open World Emerald"

    Hey. I played this game for one hour, and saved my game, then I reloaded my games 2 hours later and, my save apparently became corrupted.
    Pokemon R.O.W.E. - an Open World Version of Pokémon Emerald(Gen 8, Following Pokémon, Costumes and much More)

    I play on mGBA, on windows, and if I recall correctly, that was my settings:
    Hard Difficulty
    Max IV
    No EV
    Random starter
    Random start

    And I saved in the Rustboro City pokemon center. I just fought a bunch of trainers and caught an Azurill. I had 0 badges. I don't used cheats.

    EDIT: Also, I don't know if it's important, but I picked the potion in my PC before talking to the NPC in my room.

    Sorry to hear you lost your progress. A few questions:

    1. Did you start this save on mGBA or move it over from another emulator/flashcard?
    2. Regarding the rom: Did you patch with the online patcher? In case you DL'd a prepatched rom, know that some glitches only occur on them because they're often not using the correct rom base.
    3. Latest version of ROWE?
    4. Any oddities you've noticed? Was the RTC (in game clock) functioning correctly? Any freezes or anything prior?
    5. Were you on double battle mode?
    6. What version of mGBA were using?
    7. Did you attempt the mock battles at all or change your outfit in game?

    If you join the Discord, you'll get a MUCH quicker response as well as better support. You can submit a bug report there and we'll see what caused this

    I've had this erase thing happen to me on GBA VC. My clock wasn't accurate and events didn't occur. It was after I defeated the E4 that I lost everything.

    Is it possible to get a shiny Regirock? I've been running in and out of the cave a lot. Do shiny cheats work?

    Cheats don't work in this game. But as far as I know, gen 3 legends are not shiny-locked so you can indeed encounter a shiny Regirock -- it just might take a lot of resets but you'll find it eventually.

    Hey DexNav appears to not be working correctly. My search level is always set to 0, with no way to make it go up. Am I missing something? I just want to get a funny monkey with a cool move

    Would advise against cheats as the game has an anti cheat. If it detects the cheats are used, it will soft reset or even wipe your save.

    I am surprised to see so many more overworld sprites added, I wouldn't have expected that. Cool stuff!

    how would you go about editing the save file

    The save editor would basically need to be built specifically for ROWE.

    I wouldn't recommend it though as doing anything like giving access to Pokemon that aren't currently available or obtaining items that aren't in game yet will activate the anti-cheat. The game will either delete your save or constantly reset once entering a battle or opening the menu.

    One of the best things about ROWE are its constant updates. What's cool about that is, Riolu is basically doing it all himself.

    Props to easily one of the best modders in gen 3.
