    So I started making an Emerald Hack, because I heard it has the most features and whatnot, but I've also heard that it can get unstable very quickly.
    So which (Advance Gen) ROM is the best for a n00b's first hack?

    I think that this question should belong to the "Simple Questions" thread but, anyway, my opinion is that a R/S ROM could be better for beginners since most of the tools work with these ROMs.
     
    The best, overall, would be Ruby. Every program you find for Advanced-generation hacking will work for Ruby. It's your safest bet.
     
    no i feel the best rom to use is Firered(US)
    Its really stable and less gilchy.And the default graphics(if you want to use them) are better than that of ruby or sapphire.Even leaf green is equally good.
    But i really dont understand why people use more of firered as a rom base and leaf green is not used so often?
     
    I've given up on Emerald, the benefits just aren't worth the frustration. But I'm still unsure about whether i want to use Fire Red or Ruby. Anyone else have any advice?

    FR and LG have less support on some things.
    LG has even less than FR
     
    every sapphire rom ive tried sucks...major.


    i prefer Ruby/Fire Red.
     
    Gold? Don't see many Gold hacks here, ahh, some but not many.
     
    BlueSonic, he asked for Advance Gen games..
    Gold isn't advance gen :/
     
    Well i sat ruby because all the tools are for ruby and somebody has already found the offsets for the Hoen tilemap. Also when i first started hacking FireRed i ended up getting to mapping and it all glitched up. Also after i started again i ended braking the ROM. So Ruby is a begginners best option.
     
    I use FireRed. But if you can somhow find support for it, use LeafGreen. Supposedly it is more stable than FR.
     
    FireRed just because of its tool compatibility. I used emerald for my hack and it came out great though. Depends what your gonna do with the rom.
     
    Ruby!

    Your best bet is ruby since a majority of programs support it, eg. A-mart, and much more, I wouldn't suggest Emerald because it is the hardest to hack, and do fire red after you've become a bit more advance, mainly because fire red can be hard to hack at times if you don't know what you're doing.
     
    I started on Fire-Red. A-MART works fine on it, and i only started around 3 days ago..i tried to hack emerald and its really hard cause a heap of INI files are missing. So, really, just find the roms, and try them all to find one you feel sutible with, then work upwards from there.
     
    I am in a similiar position as the first person, except for I'm still wondering if I should hack Emerald or FireRed. It seems that FireRed is more stable, but doesnt Emerald have more pallettes?
     
    To make it easier I'll post the ROMs with their advantages and disadvantages

    Ruby/Sapphire
    Advantages: Support for a lot of programs
    Distavantages: The default graphics aren't as good
    FireRed/LeafGreen
    Advantages: Has better graphics and music
    Disadvantages: Doesn't have as much support as Ruby/Sapphire
    Emerald
    Advantages: Has all of the features from Ruby/Sapphire plus some from FireRed/LeafGreen
    Disadvantages: Isn't support by a lot of problems and hard to hack
