I'm not totally sure what you did. Can you try a "make clean" followed by a "make"?

i did `` cd pokered`` -> make clean

$ make clean
rm -f pokered.gbc pokeblue.gbc pokegreen.gbc pokebluejp.gbc pokeredjp.gbc audio_red.o main_red.o text_red.o wram_red.o audio_blue.o main_blue.o text_blue.o wram_blue.o audio_green.o main_green.o text_green.o wram_green.o audio_bluejp.o main_bluejp.o text_bluejp.o wram_bluejp.o audio_redjp.o main_redjp.o text_redjp.o wram_redjp.o pokered.sym pokeblue.sym pokegreen.sym pokebluejp.sym pokeredjp.sym
find . \( -iname '*.1bpp' -o -iname '*.2bpp' -o -iname '*.pic' \) -exec rm {} +
make clean -C tools/
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/b1400171/pokered/tools'
rm -f scan_includes gfx pkmncompress
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/b1400171/pokered/tools'

then ``make``

but got the same error, im trying to compile the lite version from your github, theres no modifications, this will be the first one, but im getting this error, not sure if u modified something

Shinpokered pulls to a folder called "shinpokered", not "pokered".

I'd suggest you start fresh.

First, make sure you have RGBASM 0.5.2 installed if compiling the regular lite branch. But I would recommend switching to the lite_dev branch since it has about a year's worth of fixes. Lite_dev compiles with RGBASM 0.6.0. This is important since changes to the compiler means old code will throw a bunch of errors.

Type "git clone https://github.com/jojobear13/shinpokered/ -b lite_dev --single-branch"
This will download the lite_dev branch into a folder called "shinpokered".
Type "git pull origin lite_dev" at any time to make sure your local lite_dev repository is up to date with my remote github repository.

Try "make" after that.

Im really sad, cause i did everything right, like this video, just changed the rgbds-0.6.1-win64

>> followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0D6U9iwHCw

the only different thing is the versions in cygwin, cause theres new ones, and im on windows 10
*of course i changed the github link

Don't be sad. I just did a "make clean" on my master_dev branch and now I'm getting the same error as you. I think there was an update to rgbgfx. Let me fix it and I'll get back to you.

I just asked around in the pokered discord. Turns out that rgbgfx got a total rewrite in v0.6.0, so it wont take any png that isn't in 8x8 tile dimensions. The minimize sprite is a hack that is an 8x5 partial tile.

I've attached a new png that is the proper 8x8 tile format. I was able to build with this one.

alright, we fixed that, but now i got some other erros

ld optimization will stop being the default; pass `-l` to opt into it
error: Assembly aborted (3 errors)!
make: *** [Makefile:55: audio_red.o] Error 1

i think its the newer update, its causing these errors, can u try it in yours?

It's a makefile error, but I don't know what could be wrong from just that error message. Some kind of incompatibility with your version of rgbds. You really should just clone or pull from the current lite_dev branch. I've updated all the code there as well as the makefile to be compliant with rgbds 0.6.0.

Try using

git clone https://github.com/jojobear13/shinpokered.git --branch lite_dev

I just tried that one and it downloaded fine.

Yeah my bad. Its working. Thank you.

I have a question, maybe someone somewhere asked this, but there are 32 tabs and I won't try go through all that to see if someone asked the same.

But, is there a way to example, translate this romhack to other languages? I know in the GitHub there's ways to edit the texts and when compiling it comes out as expected. Yet is there a way to add "custom characters" to the font graphic, and display them when used? And if so, where? I need help.

Admittedly not big on ROM Hacks being in cartridges cause of people selling them, but that GBC looks so awesome. Love the Jigglypuff art on it.

just wondering where do those people get those kinds of stuff?

Really loving this ROM hack - recently started playing it. I noticed a few fixes in the dev patch that I like. Should I just go ahead and continue with 1.23.14 or is 1.24 on the horizon? Either way, amazing stuff!!

1.23.14 is fine to use. 1.24 is on the horizon for sometime this year, but I expect to be doing only minor tweaks and polishing between 1.23.14 and 1.24.

Hi, could I know which Android Emulator would be accurate enough for this patch?
