Whenever I try to play games like Pokemon Uranium and Pokemon Shiny Gold with DesmuME, I get an error.
Then play them on GBA emulator?

Sorry if my question has been asked before, but I searched it and couldn't find it.

When I try to play Pokemon Diamond on No$GBA, it says the rom image has crashed. I'd appreciate any help on how to fix this. Please?
Either use DeSmuME or set Cartridge Backup on FLASH 512kB in No$'s emulation options, save options and reset the game.

So, I'm pretty sure I've seen this question somewhere before, but I didn't want to go digging for it...
How come when I load my ROM the screen is white? Please don't tell me it's anything too bad, because I do have a backup, but I haven't made too many changes between my current file and the backup. :/

No one knows my answer to the coloring of 1st and 2nd gen games?
It's probably a palette issue. Go to Options>Ganeboy and then pick GBC or GB (though GBC has a larger color palette). Alternatively, you can edit the palette yourself.

That depends, what did you do to the rom, which game is the rom of, and can you run any other games?

not much to the actual game other that editing mini trainer sprites and maps, but I have been going through and deleting the scripts city by city, so far I've done pallet and viridian using the deletescript 0xoffset command on XSE, and then I just made my first script to put into the game and right when I tried to test it that happened. It's FR and yes, I tried LG on it right after and that one worked.

It's dangerous to go around deleting scripts, but I don't see why it would affect the launch...that is, unless you deleted a vital offset.

Well, what would be the danger of deleting the scripts? I'm just getting rid of the actual ones on A-map that were just written. I can do that, can't I?
How would I know if I got rid of anything important. I would think if scripts were connected to one another between different parts of the game and you got rid of one of those connections, but not the other, it would be dangerous to try and pay through those parts and it would freeze, so the only thing I could think of is that I've deleted the original Oak's script from the game, which was about 900+ lines, but I still wouldn't understand why it wouldn't even load the game properly.
Do you know of anything I could do to check the problem and possibly fix it?

Well, since it doesn't load, chances are the rom's already borked. When you delete scripts, you mess with a lot of flag connections and script calls, which could be fatal if not handled with the utmost care.

About Oak's script, you're not talking about the intro sequence script, are you?

Best to go after the ones with less important flags (like battle scripts and gifting unimportant items). Why are you deleting them, anyway?

Would that be enough for me though? Cause I'm using FR as a base, but my story doesn't really involve any of the original game scripts.

There's something you should probably know; even many finished hacks don't delete any scripts, not even near their completion. The best practice is to wait until you're out of free space or almost out of free space and then start deleting scripts, but there's quite a bit of free space, no need to delete scripts for a while.

So, how do I know which flags to use?
And would there be any way to fix my game? I mean, it doesn't matter too much because a lot fo my work has been done outside of the game for now, except I've just finished all mymap editing... :/

Just use that ones that aren't those.

Also, I don't know if you can save your game now, but It's worth trying if you truly need it (I wouldn't recommend deleting it, though).

Just use that ones that aren't those.

Also, I don't know if you can save your game now, but It's worth trying if you truly need it (I wouldn't recommend deleting it, though).
Alright, thanks!
Well, like I said I would mainly just need it for the maps for now. I've tried the map saving thing, then opening it in a new a map file, but it hasnt worked for me before

Guys, don't talk about hacking in this thread.
This is about emulating issues.
For hacking discussions use either Simple Questions thread or Script Help Thread.

Is it possible to tweak the Real Time Clock settings on VisualBoy Advance beyond just turning it on and off? I've recently dumped a Pokemon Ruby save to play around with it in an emulator and the dumped save plays fine except the in-game clock time changes wildly from the correct time it's set to on the cart. Interestingly if I play around in the emulator, save the game, then dump it back to its original cart, the time fixes itself. It's seemingly a minor thing but it'd be cool if I could do something with however VBA emulates the internal battery to get the in-game clock in sync.
