Well, as we all know, Fire Red does not have a clock. Programming one in would be pretty near impossible, if not completely. So, to my knowledge, Zel simply replaced time events with "step events", or when a random (or potentially set, I dunno) number of steps needs to be taken for the event to begin again. So, let's say it's a set variable of, I dunno, 1,000 steps for a Lapras. 1,000 steps later, there's your Lapras. I dunno if that's exactly how it works, but I'm pretty sure it's a good general mindset.
>_> I know that... I was simply reminding that it's a time event, not a one-time one...

Oh. I dunno how it works, to be honest. I was just taking a wild guess. I didn't know you could use ingame time to measure something, but hey, I'm not a hacker yet. I guess the important thing is that it's recurring and doesn't take too long to happen again.

>_> I know that... I was simply reminding that it's a time event, not a one-time one...
Oh, I know. I was just kinda elaborating. I don't think it's a bug either though; it'd be downright impossible to incorporate any sense of a clock into a Fire Red/Leaf Green game, so I think it's happening just the way Zel wants it.

Just DON'T. I know it's frustrating, but you'll have to start over. Also, ask this kind of questions in the help thread - the link is on the 1st page.

The only problems I can think of are;

1) You tried to patch over your old Shiny Gold ROM, which is not good. You need to use a fresh, untouched Fire Red ROM for the game to work properly.

2) The ROM you used for the patching was bad. Try downloading it from a different source, or try reuploading it if you were using a cable.

3) I have no idea why this would be it, but did you use the 128k save format? I would think so, and I don't know why it would cause it to do that, but give it a shot.

You could always try restarting your computer, too. That used to work for me when I used to have troubles like that.

Also, as previously stated, you cannot reuse your old save from an old beta. That's something you pretty much agreed to when you downloaded the beta, although maybe Zel should include that in the introduction just to get the point across. XP

1) No, look at my answer to 2) --> 2) No, I have been using the same Fire Red game, copying it, and then patching the hacks i download, this is the only hack thats done this to me! 3) Yep, thats why i could play it in beta 4!

Oh and i restarted my computer yesterday! I also tried to play Shiny Gold yesterday!

Using previous save states isn't actually possible [don't know anyone who could do it]. Restart your game, as JJK said.

Well, I didn't have any problems exporting my old B4 save to B5 (In VBA, Export Battery on your old save and Import Battery on the new beta). I doubt you can even patch savestates over so exporting and importing the main save file is the best way to try to do it.

Using a previous beta save is possible, as long as Zel hasn't switched maps between beta's. If he has switched maps, save the previous beta save in a pokemon center.

Although it is not recommended to use a previous beta save, since it can mess up events in the next beta and other weird glitches.

Actually i have a question for Clonex if he/she happens to be around. I noticed you contributed to the remixing of the music and I've listened to your remixes on your thread, I have to ask this: What was the prog you used for remixing? Sorry if this isnt relevent to the SG convo but yea cant pm you.

I have a question for you Zel,will you add the starters signature moves as in Frenzy Plant,Blast Burn andHydro Cannon?

Looking forward for B6! its gonna be a blast.
Plz delete the other part of your post, we're trying to keep it secret
And those three moves were available in FR in the form of move tutor, they will probably be so in the final beta, but we're not sure what to do with the move tutors yet.
Wherever my mind takes me...
