First method; that's how I did it and it's working for me : )

In PGE, move effects don't seem to be correct...
For example, Liquidation's effect is set to "Freezes the target", Fluer Cannon is set to "Burns the target", etc. Is there something I have to do to the .ini to fix this? I couldn't find anything on that in the thread.
For the record, the effects work fine in-game, so it's just a display issue I'm worried about.

EDIT: I also found a moveset oversight: Arceus learns Recover at level 80 when it should be level 70.

in the folder you will found one archive in txt format "PGEAttackEffects"
copie and paste in your PGE folder inside the folder "txt" to replace the old.

Edit:
When i use any attack in game an error shows up that tells something about a seperate bios.

Did i do anything wrong? or is it in this latest update only? This error occurs even without the fixes you mentioned sir.

BTW, I have Python 3.6 DevkitPro Latest Update. (Working) both Environment Path correct (maybe).

Thanks in advance.

you do it:

(Note: you can only install devkitARM)
If the game crashes, replace devkitARM folder with the one from there. https://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/devkitARM/devkitARM_r45/

where offset you install it ? check for save free space
you are using some previous save ? need restart the game
in install options put in all option for clear old data FALSE (false), when i put "true" many bugs occcur with me.
you are using what emulator ? pc, android, ios

because for me all work fine, i using pc emulator.

I'm using a Clean Emerald Rom so i did'nt really care about the Free SPace Offset (thinking that it will insert itself on a Free Space )
and also the game runs until i use an attack in game (Sometimes it Restarts , Sometimes it Freezes and Sometimes it DIsplays an error message about a seperate bios needed)

and also im using VBA (PC)
i did'nt really touched the Configs.h do i need to?

in the folder scripts, you will found "make.py"

open it with notepad++ or the program you like
you will found it in line 11:

ROM_NAME = "BPEE0.gba" #the name of your rom
OFFSET_TO_PUT = 0xF00000
SEARCH_FREE_SPACE = False (Change here for True)

you need change in config.h

line 9
#define KEYSTONE 4
change 4 for some item like 353 is no used item in EM

and test it again

You might also have to use this fix mentioned in the OP, chestertagat
"If the game crashes, replace devkitARM folder with the one from there. https://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/devkitARM/devkitARM_r45/"
I had the same issue as you and this was what fixed it.

Still crashes :( maybe downloading that DEvkitPro flinked from the op will solve this :(

the original no have ROCK and STEEL Z Moves (both PHYSICAL and SPECIAL)

other minor erros:
Moonlight - is now Fairy type
Hoopa Last Move (Warp Hole) is at lv 85 not lv 1

Awesome resourcers i love it soo much

EDIT: i upload all archive for facilite the work

Does this preserve normal Emerald stuff if you just wanna play through the game with the new stuff? By preserve, I mean like what MrDollSteak's base for Fire Red does.

I downloaded devkitARM and Python 3.6. I followed all the instructions, but when I run make.py in the command prompt, I get "FileNotFound: No Such File or Directory:linker.ld". What am I doing wrong?

i upload in my attchment both archives working, i test myself.

if it not work, you probably not install :

https://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/devkitARM/devkitARM_r45/

or install wrong,
1-you check if selected the correct version for windowns 32 or 64 bits,
2-if yes when you install you click right button of mouse and select "install with permission of administrator"

Does this preserve normal Emerald stuff if you just wanna play through the game with the new stuff? By preserve, I mean like what MrDollSteak's base for Fire Red does.

I downloaded devkitARM and Python 3.6. I followed all the instructions, but when I run make.py in the command prompt, I get "FileNotFound: No Such File or Directory:linker.ld". What am I doing wrong?

Yes

Open cmd prompt from the main folder.

Where is located these names? In pokes.h?
