If you're on Android, "ROM Patcher" and "Unipatcher" work well.

Thanks for the advice, i managed to patch the game but it wont open in .zip form, and in .gba form it opens but displays just a white screen. Is it an emulator problem or did i do something wrong?

Hang on. You patched a Pokemon Emerald ROM (.gba) and still got a white screen? If you got Emerald as a .zip file, make sure you extract it to get the .gba file (don't just rename the extension).
It's usually not an emulator issue unless you're using an obscure one.

I like the look of this mod because it feels really close to normal emerald with quality of life changes that newer generations have. Really looking forward to the PSS, the battle frontier is much better with it.
New feature idea that I have never seen in a romhack before:
Is it possible to add the ability to create and customize your own friend secret bases to add to the game as if you mixed records with someone? It would be really, really nice to be able to customize the decoration, location, and pokemon team of a secret base and add it into your game as if another player mixed records with you. Because you can't do multiplayer for this on a ROM and also, being to create your own high level teams to battle would be really helpful if you wanted specific EV training teams or creating your own set of secret base battles in game just for more variety.
Another new idea:
Have two options for the safari zone. The standard cost to get in with 500 dollars for 500 steps. But another option for 10000 dollars that has no step count limit so you can explore as long as you want. Only unlockable after elite four and expanded safari is open.
Would you be able to make the new graphical changes, especially ones you added, optional?
Same with new music not from other pokemon games that you added.
Could the pokeball re-usability be optional?
Could the shiny pokemon you added be an optional feature? In fact, is it possible to put the shiny charm from B/W in the game? That would be a much better alternative.

I am nuzlocking this and the games encounters have been thouroughly screwing me over XD.Got a caterpie in petalburg woods and a ratatta in rusturf tunnel.Them 2% chances doin me good XD.Also are shiny rates turned up for wild pokemon at all?
This would be rather tricky at this point in progress to make a patch for, but what specific graphics did you want to be toggled?
May need more specifics here too, though it would be easier to toggle than the graphics since all I'd have to do is change some pointers; especially considering all the minute changes I've made to the graphics over the years.
I've actually now made this one optional for the next release, and it will also change the higher shop prices back to normal. I had them high for balance reasons since you'd need far less than 200 PokéBalls to even complete the Hoenn Dex, and probably not far beyond that for National. Plus the problem about running out of chances to catch a Shiny.
If you mean that the shiny chances could be changed back to normal, I could do that too and make it optional if you guys think I should. I've been considering removing it because many people may still not know about it and think they found a real 1/8192 Shiny, so I've been kind of regretting upping the chance to 1/200 even if it is only for a couple Pokémon.
I can do something like the Secret Base idea but was really planning on giving the Trainer House in Sootopolis (in Mossdeep in R/S) some "DLC" trainers that either can function via patches or just show up depending on what day it is or something. I'd probably have to put this in a later release since I'd really like to make the next one available soon, and it would end up taking considerably longer. I am reluctant to mess with the Secret Base maps because the exact way they work is not really fully understood (at least to me), and I feel like it would lead to a ton of glitches.
Seems like something I can do. I'll give it a shot but I can't guarantee this will make it in the next update. May have to come a bit later but it's now on my to-do list since it's a pretty good idea.
No Shiny rates have been altered except for that of Rayquaza and Jirachi (1/200 chance for both), and the Lapras in Meteor Falls (100% like the Red Gyarados in GSC). I put a few more hints in game about Lapras being Shiny because of the reason I mentioned earlier about it leading to potential disappointment when it comes up unexpectedly. I'd put a yellow 'star' symbol next to it in the Locations Guide, but it may not have been that obvious since I didn't really specify it. The shiny chance on Mew had been 1/200 previously but that is already changed back to normal through the bug fixes I released some time ago since it caused problems with it 'disobeying' in battle.

My only complaint would be that I battle Lochads when Im using a brucelee rooster with 1000 degree fire.
At least a ludicolo would be hydrated enough for a good blaze kick is all I'm saying. Fam, do you think you could evolve late game , if not mid game, pokemon? But this is what pokemon on gba should of been, in love with this aesthetic, puts the pokemon company to shame honestly. If you challenged their movesets and got it right, I'd piss my parents pants, love them to death though. If I don't win against a gym, I try until I run out of money, then its game for my team, I'd love it if there was an optional patch where e4 & gym leaders don't use potions, but actually more trainers did, battles aren't a big deal except for pokemon league badges. Fam wouldn't it be awesome to have the pokemon league in the storyline? Flannery would help at mt. chimney, winona or at the weather institute, instead the pokemon champion does everything. Tate or liza would assist based on gender at the weather institute but the gym is locked tight.
Edit: Fam I degreened the character (back to the original) & I lost my mind.

Cant find an answer anywhere as to how Day Night is detected on the Rom particularly on Phone. Am fine not being able to modify, but a base explanation would be appreciated.
The tool I used (called Day, Night and Seasons) is from this thread: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=246089
If your phone's emulator supports the Real Time Clock function, there should be an option somewhere to enable it unless it is automatic. It's supposed to run using 'system time'. See if you can find out if whoever made that emulator put in a RTC.
Also for anyone wondering, I am still trying to get the new music tracks I'm adding to work properly right now. As soon as that's done, I will be releasing the next version.

No worries, glad you were able to find out what was going on.
Ironically for the upcoming release I've made some differences to how Mystery Gift works, though all the details will be described in-game. The best part is probably that you will no longer need to put in a password for it.

To add to Emerald's already impressive end game, do you think it's possible to update the Elite 4/Champion teams after the initial victory? Like they do in FRLG?
Also, are the Move Tutors still one-off, or can they be re-used?

what emulator do you recommend me to use to play this game?
I'd like to do that (E-4/C idea), though that's something I'd have to save for a subsequent release instead of the next one for now which has been a handful lately but is still almost done.
The Move Tutors are still one use only but I'll take note of that too. In fact, I think making them into daily-use events would be pretty neat so I'll work on that as well.
If you are on PC, you could use VBA, personally I've been using VBA 1.8.0 for play-testing this game as I work on it.
On Mac, I hear that OpenEmu is generally seen as the best while mGBA (which is also on PC) is very good as well.
I usually use a PlayStation Portable with TempGBA4PSP-mod, specifically Phoe-nix's version of it from GitHub which is by far the best/fastest one I've used.

The trade was changed to make it so that another Kanto Pokémon was available without cluttering up the limited encounter lists.
On Route 102 it should have a 4% chance of appearing still, though on other Routes it is only 1%. Since you make a good point, I'll make it a bit more common on the other Routes it appears on.

Hey there, really likes your ROM hack and would toke to adress some suggestions. I don't know if these changes are already presented in hack as they aren't mentioned on title page so correct me otherwise. Can you make some kind of re-match system revamp? I mean to upgrade it, for example to make re-match system easy of use (w/o actually searching for exact trainer), make more trainers to be able to re-match, allow to choose one of the sets of pokemons of each gym leader after defeating a certain 5 times (to make exp boots for new pokes more intensive) or smth like that. In addition, it would be nice to see some kind of area with random trainers to battle, but to make it random in all terms except certain level ranges maybe and w\o legendary pokemon usage(or to make extra challenging stages with them), and unlike battle towers of tents battles can be for exp and with whole allowance of item usage (like trainer encounters during storyline or smth like that). I think this changes may lift your mod to a new level in terms of battle intensiveness, but that's just MO.
