Emerald hack: Digimon: Escape from Server Island v1.1

File includes:

• IPS File
• Lunar IPS itself
• README File
• Strategy Guide PDF

CREDITS
I, Bijhan, made this ROM Hack. I did not receive any direct outside help.
The Digimon sprites are ripped from various Digimon video games, and/or the anime. I bitcrushed them, and then cleaned them up by hand. Similarities to other Digimon ROM Hacks is a result of having the same source material, predominantly the Digimon World DS games.
I learned the coding from all the various tutorials on the web, from sites such as YouTube and Reddit in particular.

I utilized almost every tool available on RomHackTools, especially:

• Nameless Sprite Editor 1 and 2
• AdvanceMap
• PokemonGameEditor
• Gen3Tools
• XSE Scripter
• Advance Sprite Suite

it looks pretty good but the sprite could be a little better. other than that it looks like an okay rom hack.

Nice man, I am going to try it out. Congrats on completing the game! So many are never completed.... You rock!

Thank you! Please be sure to let me know what you think. I'm planning on eventually starting work on a sequel, so constructive criticism is very welcome.

It dosen't look too bad.
I actually really like the concept of inserting different
game characters into games they dont belong in.

I hope that ppl will help you so you can become
Much better. :)

Congratulations on releasing a completed hack! My only qualm with this would have to be the sprite work but apart from that, it's pretty dope. Loving the new battle animations as well!

I Will. I plan to try it out tomorrow. I had a deadline to finish for the anime webzine I work for lol

I did skip the readme file to discover all by myself. Once u manage basic stuff like: when the digimon learns the tech without Calumon help plus focusing on wich digimon u want as final one, things become lighter and very entertainning. Since I already passed/finished the game, I can say it's a pretty cool rom hack, it reminds me to digimon world 2, ya know?¿ up to 12 techs per digimon can hold at the same time, here its reduced to 4 moves. So u just have to lvl up a digimon to lvl 40, de-evolve and evolve it to app/data/vir and u get a mega moveset quickly (sry by the spoiler; but I'm saving u time/money/items to spend it better grinding in Victory road against these random +70 lvl digimon).

I have many stuff to say about this hack; but I forgot it cuz I'm dissapointed when I tried to "Miracle" evolve Devimon to Lucemon and I got Kimeramon instead (now it's figuring only in the hall of fame), just later I noticed, after I passed the game, that other digimon can joins ya by talking to the ppl. I went out to grind on most of places and tried to finish the game in 4 hours with only a digimon, then I passed 3 hours later spinning around and trying digivolutions that I wished to have before passing the game, there' no much after finishing the rom hack, it would be nice to include something like a battle tower and a grinding place with only mega digimon there. I tried to "Miracle" evolve angemon but it doesn't show Lucemon also, I hope its included next update still if nothing else will be added (I'd start over just for it; Kimeramon is pretty powerful then I remember how looks like the "Digimon emperor" and well...).

What would be nice too, "Miracle" evolves should have around three techs, just like dw2 lastest mega forms (one tech to hit one, one tech to hit all and one as support). Leaving one to learn it by lvl or when it evolves to it and these others be learned using the "Info heart", that way I'd find useful to buy x99 of these items. The double battles were cool also, though u would add a better version from "Counter" and "Mirror coat" to Gallantmon in this game.

I forgot what else I would add here as suggestion, I don't even know if someone else would be agree or if it means tons of work to do, I find all maps r k, just can't figure out yet how to reach the guy in the cave of Victory road from the weirdo league. It's under a bridge and it seems isolated with an item. I already spent around 30 minutes with no luck about a secret passage to reach it. If anyone knowes it, send pm.

Greetings and thx by this splendid rom hack, gonna start over if u add someday Lucemon and these others evolves it has, otherwise I'll keep hanging around with that digimon last on the dex, it's pretty powerful (I still don't know how Gallantmon Crimson Mode was more faster than my Puppetmon and blasted me in the league, since then I manage to get Kimeramon then took the rematch, Puppetmon gots high hp/spd but Gallantmon CM somehow managed to outspeed my digimon on that time).

Thank you so much for the feedback, penecito!

I'll investigate the issues you brought up, and if I can fix them I'll update the file and post a notice here.

Again, thank you!

I played this game are the digimons learing just 1 attack in each stage ? I am asking since that was seemed to happen when i played this game

Yeah, u must stack signature techs in one digimon, u can build a strong one to pass the whole game by evolving and devolving, good thing for you, the items are cheap once u reach certain shop in the game where you can buy all you need; it's half way of the game I suppose or even a little more. May checking my forepost can guide you a bit better.

a really good short-story hack, I spend about 2.5 hours to finish.

Although I think that this hack can be much more, but as a start, it is a good hack

Hello Bijhan! Discovered this two days ago and it's really awesome, thank you. Been always a fan of both Digimon and Pokemon (mostly Digimon), when I finish the game I´ll post a full review . If a sequel eventually occurs, I'd be really glad to try iy too!

P.S.: Do you speak spanish? I saw you were living in Uruguay. I'm argentinian, that's why I'm asking jajaaj

Thanks again.

I enjoyed my run through my final team was a bit stacked for it but was enjoyable good job keep up the good work cant wait to see whats next

I put in about an hour to give it a try.

I like the idea of the digivolution web but being able to go from in-training to mega within the first 5minutes of game play is not fun. There is no sense of accomplishment. There should be different gems for each level of digivolution if gems are something you want to stick with.

The stats seem unbalanced. Battles take too long and some early mon get dragon dance(rush bubble?) which is crazy.

The mc sprite seems out of place with other sprites.
