    Hi everyone,

    I want to finish my binary hack before I move on to my full Decomp hack.

    Long story short, I thought I would speed that along by making one change via decomp, use the 'make compare' command to assemble, then compare the data, and copy/paste whatever hex code is different into my binary.

    I just need to know if that's even possible or if 'make compare' only makes 100% vanilla pokeemerald.

    This will only work if the change you are making doesn't change the rom's size. If the change adds or removes any data, all data after that point gets shifted and all the pointers to that data will get changed, resulting in thousands of changes that you won't be able to easily apply to a binary hack.

    Thank you so much for helping me out. Your advice on this thread and the binary one helped me just about crack the code. This has been a great intro to Decomp.
