I'm pretty sure he's doing fine, actually. He's probably just a bit caught up in real life, is all.

Thank you, Fotomac :nervous:
I have a lot of ambitious goals and life tends to always get in the way...
This has been requested before. When we (Sanqui and I - mostly Sanqui) ported Crystal's sound engine into Red, we did so on a clean version of Red.
This GBC version of Red has been so heavily modified that porting Crystal's sound engine is most definitely possible, but would require probably as much work as it originally took to do it the first time.
For this reason, it is currently only a dream for the future. I still hope to get around to it, but I am not presently making progress on it.
I apologize for the disappointment.

This is amazing.
I wonder if there is a possibility of a release of Red Vanilla Color Hack + Yellow sprites. I don't like the Gen 2 battle animations, but I'd really like to have the ugly sprites replaced with the Yellow one.
Thanks a lot for the work.

You intends to make a Yellow Color Hack as well? I know, Pok?mon Yellow was did to Game Boy Color and have natural colors, but this colors aren't vivid colors like the GSC ones, like this color hack patch mimic.
And has a chance to these hacks receive GSC Kanto themes?

Hey, everybody! It's been a while, but there's good news!
Drenn recently revisited this hack and gave it some much needed love and care!
He fixed up all of the known graphical glitches and did some other clean up.
I updated the first post to provide a link to his new v1.2
If you discover any glitches, please let myself or Drenn know! Thanks!
Also, instead of having 4 download links for all 4 different versions of the hack, now there's just one download link for a zip file containing all 4 ips patches.
Huge props goes to Drenn for polishing off this hack. Enjoy, everyone!

I dunno where you heard that, but my policy with this hack is to not change the gameplay at all. I'll leave that to anyone who wants to build off of it, like Red/Blue DX or Red++.

Oh that's okay too,playing in full color with gen 2 graphics is more than good enough!
You and Danny really did a great job with this hack,which is now free of bugs!!(hopefully)
You really made my day{:3}
Farewell;)

Very rarely can you successfully apply two different patches to the same rom.
The only time this would even have a chance of working is when both hacks are simple data mods.
This gbc hack is a huge engine-rewriting mod. So there's virtually no chance that the two patches will be compatible. You don't suck :)

I can't remember ever explicitly testing trading with original gen 1/2 but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. It should work just fine.
And I have tested this on real GBC/GBA hardware and it works perfectly fine

I just realized I forgot to post about it here, but I finished adding gen 2 songs to the mod. I haven't made any ips patches for this yet, so you have to compile the game from source (it's really not that hard):

The code with the gen 2 sound engine is on the crysaudio branch.

I've thrown heaps of praise on this hack before, and it's still wonderful in my eyes to this day. I did notice something odd about it lately, though. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but there's a problem with the sprite of Articuno that appears when you look through the left-side binoculars on Route 15. In the vanilla game, its sprite renders as expected:
In the color hack, however, there's no color to speak of when the image gets called up in this manner. The only thing that's there is an outline. Both patches exhibit this issue. This sprite shows up fine in all other parts of the game.
Any ideas on what's going on here?

It's definitely possible but it would be kind of a lot of work. I currently don't have the time to look into it.
Nice catch! I'll look into fixing this soon!I've thrown heaps of praise on this hack before, and it's still wonderful in my eyes to this day. I did notice something odd about it lately, though.

I've seen similar items for sale on eBay and other sites. I don't know anything about the production of those cartridges so I cannot recommend them.
Regarding trading, the version which uses the GSC sound engine/soundtrack cannot trade (attempting to trade will corrupt your save). (EDIT: This has been fixed since this comment was written!)
The version which uses the original sound engine/soundtrack can trade just fine.
EDIT:
To clarify, the official IPS download in the first post doesn't include the GSC sound engine version of this hack, so if you are referring to the official IPS download, then trading should definitely work.
If you want to try the version with the GSC sound engine, you can build from source here: https://github.com/dannye/pokered-gbc/tree/crysaudio
Just be aware that trading in that version does not work. (Edit: As of 2021, link trading works again in the crysaudio version of this hack)
