this looks great before i download beta can somebody tell me when the beta ends?
It's fairly short. It ends before you reach the second town. But story-wise it tells alot.

Could you PLEASE set up a .ips file or .ups file? I can't get it set up. It keeps on saying my fire red rom is not valid.
It cant be sent as an .ips since it's been increased to 32mb. Make sure to increase the size of your fire red rom from 16mb to 32mb. Do this by downloading XSE (hackmews factory) and using the rom resizer tool.

sorry i dont know where to get the XSE (hackmews factory) resizer tool and then i dont know how to resize maybe if someon of you would like to help me :)
I just told you where to get XSE. Go to the forums Toolbox section. Then go to the thread "Hackmews Tool Factory" and download it there. Then opem XSE and go to the tool tab and click "Rom Resizer" and click "expand". That's all there is to it.

It's me Yamato,

Very great! Everything that in here is a real great thing, the textbox is great, the storyline is too, it doesn't feel like a hack anymore since it has no imperfect things, it's great, so yup I will support this. I actually have no critisisms and that is rare I even critisize great maps for the simplest things, merry christmas! by the way thank you.

i cant patch this hack...i cant find the right rom for it...can anyone please help me?
If it's not working all I can suggest is you try again. Make sure you have a (U) FireRed Rom BPRE. If you look on the other page where the download link is I've given a step by step guide detailing how to patch it.

Anyway I'd like to thank everyone for their great comments on the hack. I wish the Beta was longer too but I just ran out of time. I thought it was better to give you a Beta Nintendo would be proud of than a rushed buggy one. Just to let everybody know I'm not giving up on this hack so keep your eyes peeled for the next Beta. My last exam is on January 28th so that's when work will recontinue. I know it's quite far away but think how I feel. Rom Hacking is what I do... I want to hack just as much as you guys wanna play.

Anyway seeming as it's Christmas Eve here in New Zealand, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Sorry , I don't know download in 2shared . So , Can you upload this file in other sever . Thanks anyway.
If you let 2shared load, scroll to the bottom there should be a link saying "save to PC: click here" or atleast something along those lines... Currently I'm away from my hacking computer because Im on holiday in new zealand. I can only ask that anyone who has the patch could upload it on my behalf.

Wow, this hack really is amazing... I finally got it playing on my ds and I must admit I really enjoyed it ! (quite short though but as you said, it's quality not quantity) :)
Keep up the good work and enjoy your holidays in new zealand !

[EDIT] I uploaded a zip containing the patch, XSE and A-Ptch on megaupload, just delete the spaces... : h t t p : / / w w w . megaupload . com/?d=94CTGI9N (rom NOT included)
PS: I am not allowed to post URLs to other sites, I'm new... So if someone could put the link it would be great

I notice the screens are only from the male character. Well, what would happen if you played the female character? Sorry, but I didn't download the patch as I like to play genius as a whole or at least a larger BETA. Getting to one town would leave me wanting more and make me suffer.
Being a hero is overrated anyways

All the scripts in game work for both genders. Playing as the female would just use the original female as I haven't sprited a heroine yet.

Anyway here is a mirror of the Beta, I know some people are having 2shared problems.

Many thanks to Timgoral for uploading it.

Anyway Happy New Year all! :)

I followed all the instructions in the "How to" in the mirror, however when I clicked run on A-ptch it comes up with the message "The file you are trying to patch is not a valid one". I have tried this with two different ROMs that both worked to play the original game
I'm just here to play some Pokemon...

If you have not expanded the FireRed (U) rom to 32mb via XSE it will come back with that result. Hope that helps.

Update:

I know I said I wasn't working on Grey until after my exams, but I got bored of revising and sprited the female heroine:



This isn't a final sprite as I have TehGDS spriting a Heroine as well.
I will ask him to post his and then you can all vote. :)

I think Astar's sprite is too plain and Tehgds (sorry if I spelled that wrong) is too busy. I do like TGDS a little better since it matches the Heros style more. Maybe finding a balance between the two?

News:
My exams are now over which means I should have more free time to work on Pokémon Grey. :)
However currently I also have another side project I'm working on. As many of you know I belong to an iPhone Programming partnership called 'A & J Designs'. At the moment I'm coding an application that will be a detailed guide for Pokémon Black and White. I aim to have finished and submitted it to Apple by the 20th February to be on the App Store by the release date of the games. Once that is out the way I promise Grey will be my top priority, afterall I do love Rom Hacking. :)

Update:
Nothing majorly big as I explained above but here is a couple of screenies to keep my loyal fans going:

Oakwood City:



-I've mapped and started events for Oakwood City finally.
-I've fixed various bugs e.g. RTC bug I had.
-I've modified some Overworlds.
-I've changed some trainer's teams and dialogue.
