Here's a question

I tried both ways of applying ips patches to my .gba firered file and I can open them fine. But in the 3 hacks I tried, one gave me a missing BIOS file error and a brown screen, the second went past the GAMEFREAK animation and then started making weird beeping noises, and the third went past the GAMEFREAK animation and just went into a black screen.

So is it the way I'm patching (Using Lunar IPS and also tried renaming the .ips files) or the .ips files that are the problem?

Edit: I tried 2 more hacks, one I could start in the bedroom but everything was glitched. The next I got a garbled title screen and then a black screen. I'm using Visual Boy Adv. v1.8 beta 3

While I was in Advance map hacking Ruby , I accidentally deleted a person event when the Mom is in the house as she introduces it to the player ,and now at the beginning of the game there's no overworld. How do I fix this?

I would suggest just using another Ruby ROM, but if you absolutely need the exact ROM, then just extract another Ruby ROM and copy the player's mother's offset, and paste it onto your edited ROM.

If you want to delete the introduction completely, then delete all of the events.

I have a question: Does EliteMap work with FireRed? At the moment when I try to load the ROM, it says "This is not a supported Pokémon Advance rom. BPRE." Do I have to do something to make it work? If not, can you send me a link to an editor that does? Thanks. If you PM the answer to me or write it on my profile, that would be great.

EDIT: Never mind, I just got Advance Map to work.

EDIT #2: And it just stopped working again. The error message is "Access violation at address 004CBD0B in module 'AdvanceMap.exe'. Read of address 31293129." Any help?

I don't believe that there's another one. You'd have to have someone else help edit music, sorry.

New Hacker!

I have no idea (absolutely none) about how to hack. I want to know how to get a game, change text around and make characters appear where they shouldn't. I want to feel the pride of making (hacking really) a game. This may or may not be the right place for a hacking tutorial, but in the case that it isn't could someone show me the way?

Thanks for your help (I say thanks in advance because I know there are nice people out there that will help me.)

PS: I am really sorry if there is already a reply like this but I really don't have time to search. Bye!

Advance Map can do that...

Sappy is the only one I know, but I heard there are three kinds of Sappy's...
Search around this thread. Someone helped me about Sappy a while ago...

Use another Ruby ROM. :\
If you had made major changes in mapping, then just export that map and import it to your new Ruby ROM...

quick question: how do u apply an ips patch to a gba file or hack file?
can someone show me please?

There is a thread on how to do that in the Hack Showcase, maybe?
Search thoroughly...

Hacking a POKéMON ROM to make a new feel to the game needs time. If you don't have time, then you will find difficulty in hacking.
Mapping, scripting, hex editing, etc needs time to do a hack.

Anyways, for tutorials, look at the Documents and Tutorials section.
For tools, search around the Toolbox section...
Good luck~

I made a script, but it doesn't work.
XSE don't say there is a fault, but if i open the ROM and talk to the pokemon (it's a wild pokemon script), it don't work.
This is the script:

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @raikou
callstd 0x2
startwildbattle 0x243 0x1 0x0
release
end

#org @raikou
= Cuuuun!

What OS are you using? Because old Windows ones aren't supported.

Well, it all depends on the meaning of "word choices".

XSE doesn't have Artificial Intelligence. Yet. Therefore it can't decide if a script will work fine or not, just by "looking" at it.
Instead, it will report all syntax errors found. Try using the wildbattle construct instead.
