Bibarel : Make Fire Red Titlescreen Animated
Zapdos source code was gone because of hard disk issue so I decided to build this program

Features
  • Insert your animation frames
  • Replace Charizard with your animation
  • Import Palette
  • Optional : Insert tileset file

Special Thanks
  • Darthatron for ASM code
  • Hackmew for Finding Free Space algorithm
  • Creator of NSE 2.0 for LZ77 Compression algorithm

How does it work
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=7748306#post7748306

How to use
  • Open FireRed Rom (Only work on v1.0)
  • Import animation frames
  • Save your rom
  • *Optional : Import the palette(if the color of the frames doesn't exist in the palette, it will become transparent)

Any bug report would be appreciated

Here are some example sets of frames
Dialga : https://www.dropbox.com/s/tsvgb1ipwflf3tk/Dialga.zip?dl=0
Giratina : https://www.dropbox.com/s/xdbdvlliv574blf/Giratina.zip?dl=0
Suicune : https://www.dropbox.com/s/4emmjzjai49mupd/Suicune.zip?dl=0

Easiest way to get these sets of frames is to download gif of the pokemon from the Black 2 and White 2 version (Gen I - Gen V :( ) then extract it with the same size that can be divided by 8 using ImageMagick using the following command :

magick convert YourPokemonSprite.gif -coalesce f%d.png
magick convert f%d.png[0-LastFrameNumber] -extent WIDTHxHEIGHT PlaceToStoreTheFrames/f%d.png (WIDTH and HEIGHT must be divisible by 8 and larger than the original size of the image)

Edit the titlescreen tilemap using NTME as usual (Make sure that all frames use the same tilemap)

Any bug report would be appreciated

Nah, I mean if we could provide our own free space for the routine.

Thanks for the suggestion. Zapdos source code was gone because of hard disk issue so I add your suggestion into my new program. Simply uncheck "Auto FSF" to manually provide the offset for the program. As always, please report any bugs you encounter.

I've found a bug with Bibarel, once importing your animation into the ROM with bibarel, if you spam A/B to get to the main menu as fast as possible, the spite's .RAW hasn't yet been loaded and for a second or two you can see a jumbled tilemap before it loads the .RAW.
This is most noticeable when the sprite first displays on screen with a flash, just before it begins to fade in from black and white to colour.
I should mention this doesn't happen 100% of the time, sometimes the .RAW will be loaded on time with no issues, other times as above.
I tested this on a clean copy of FR just to be sure it wasn't my ROM and it happened on both.

Aside from the bug I mentioned, this program functions as intended and is very user-friendly.

Are you sure you gave your sprite the right palette in the tilemap? Since it looks like you didn't.
