This or this?

Or Shiny Gold, or stick with SoulSilver??



Spoiler:
Actually, Shiny Gold is surpassed by both Crystal hacks on this board. Not to be mean or anything, it just is. Also since they're both planned to be finished... well yeah. ShinyGold X is still fun though. :P

It's actually your choice. CrystalDust personally I am bias to because it provides a MUCH more faithful rendition of Crystal than LC. LC isn't bad at all, but the idea behind that is pretty much a demake of HGSS with plot that you'll either love or hate (and I... don't like the new plots thrown in. Not my cup of tea.).

So it's pretty much your preference. I'd play both, they're both well put together items that are among the best here on PC.

I like CD more because well its Stable and professional looking...
Only Johto is available which makes this hack a bit small but just look at this Johto
So many cool small or big scripts that make this hack unique and it stays close to the original
And updates only even if they are small add more cool things that bring this hack closer to perfection
And its base is Emerald do i need to say more? xD

Lots of hacks look better than CrystalDust but idk the scripting is just poor and unprofessional looking
No offence just telling my opinion

Edit:

And lol idk about ShinyGold i wasnt into hacks back then i tried to play on GameBoid but the hack crashed every time i pressed Start so i deleted it :D
Maybe if Zel would update this hack it could be better than both cd and liquid crystal :D

Btw if you add 4th gen legendaries in the extra spots you could use ows of light platinum if Wesley allows u to use them

Edit

Which rom did you use to make this hack there is a trm release and another from coolrom they are both usa but different not all hacks work on the trm release
Just wondering and i always used trm for this hack but i noticed that i can patch the other rom too so i wonder if theres a difference

Got a question. How do I evolve pokemon that require trade to do so? Do I have to open vba link something thingy and trade them in both sides or you have added another way to evolve? And if you hopefully did, what is it?

Thank you! I like it how they have to hold specific item and level up instead of being trade, haven't seen it in any other hack.

This hack is great. How the heck did you manage to get the clock set up immediately after pressing new game? I also want to know how you managed to get it to warp you to your room immediately (removing the ugly truck scene). I'm guessing they're ASM hacks.

This hack looks amazing, but I can't seem to get it to work. If I extract the rom from the zip file (which I tried as a last resort) I just get a white screen. If I try running the .zip file of it, it says it's an unsupported file type. I tried changing the save type to 128k as well. It didn't work. Personally, I've never played a rom hack before, so pardon me if I sound like a noob, lol.
