Can't you make a patch that's compatible for emerald.
That would require me to redo all the research on an Emerald ROM, and honestly I don't feel like investing so much time in it again.

How exactly do you open this program?
Hi there,
This is no program that you open like AdvanceMap or the like, it's a hack of the game's palette engine. You can use it by either
- applying the IPS patch to your ROM (which writes the data to 0xF00000), or
- compiling the source code manually, as detailed in the ReadMe file.
Note that this only works for FireRed 1.0, although by now I have decided to port it to Emerald as well, but I'm not sure when that will be done.
I can't seem to find any PokéDex-related bugs caused by Dynamic Overworld Palettes... Have you made any other modifications that could have potentially corrupted the PokéDex in some way? Does the problem persist after you've applied the Uninstall.ips patch? Do you use the most recent version?
The download link in the OP is the latest version, yes. And you can apply the update over your current version without uninstalling.
In this case you must download the source code from Github and insert it manually. At the bottom of the Github page you can find the instructions for that. If you're not sure how to install devkitPro, see step 4 and onwards of this post:

Upon applying this patch to my fire red rom, my overworld sprite editor crashes when I try to insert a new sprite. I assume this is because some thing the overworld editor is trying to write to has been moved by the dynamic palette patch. Does everyone else have this problem? If so how can I change the .ini for my overworld editor to adapt to this patch? Thanks
I prefer using OWM.
I actually am using OWM, I know this isn't true but with my experience it seems that dynamic palette swap and OMW don't work with eachother. Has anyone else experienced this?
Is this compatible with https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/Wizard-DN this?
See my above post.

Oh, duh! I don't know how I missed your post. I have a really stupid series of questions now. I'm not fully understanding how to implement this. I see you insert the palette patch, insert the fix, insert the modified RTC routine, bu then I'm lost. How do I compile the npcmod.c? And after that are there other .c files I must compile or do I just insert the other asm routines? Also, are the routines in the "retired" folder needed or are they old?
for compiling npcmod.c use this http://www.mediafire.com/file/blhtcgzb3avx4ko/casm.zip
And insert other asm routines. Including the retired folder one too.
