Crystal hack: [Hack of the Year 2017] - Pokémon Orange (GBC) [Suloku Patch] (Fin)

[PiaCRT]

This is the renaissance patch (still not officially beta 2):

Formes are still broken. No ETA on fix, and I am working on a new engine.

Almost all maps are revisited for the new tiles, Cross as well as many maps now have custom music. The seashells have been added, but only about 9/50 of them, so have some fun and collect 'em! Building the rom yourself under "make debug" will allow you to see some unfinished maps like Hamlin and Shamouti.

The new maps have caused some issues with tilesets being messed with, I found one hardlock this morning that I patched so this patch is being updated frequently on Github. Updated patch can always be found here: https://github.com/PiaCarrot/pokeorange/tree/master/patches (PSS is Physical Special Status Split and no pss is gen 2/3 mechanics, Fairy is special and dark/ghost are swapped)

Please patch to a clean Pokemon - Crystal Version (UE) (V1.0) [C][!].gbc ROM.

Thank you and Happy New Years!

If you can't get past Route 62, re download the patch and apply to a clean ROM (save file wont be bugged) There was a tile error that was just fixed.

EDIT:
Carrot Challenges!

If you take a screenshot of your Shell Box with 9 shells, share it here, I'd love to see it :) (No peeking at the source code!)

If you have caught Latias, Latios, or both, share a screenshot here, no one has done it yet!

When you use a poke center the game freezes, this is the using the patch with the pss.

What emulator are you using, base ROM, etc? I can not reproduce this issue.

Make sure you are not using Crystal V1.1, it has to be 1.0. The name of the baserom I used is "Pokemon - Crystal Version (UE) (V1.0) [C][!].gbc"

I always recommend BGB for the most hardware accurate experience. Regular VBA seems to also not have this issue either, but I haven't tried VBA-M.

EDIT: Cannot reproduce on VBA-M

I found a new crystal 1.0 rom and now it doesn't freeze.

Hi! Can you please share with me that v1.0 patch? I can't find it anywhere online

 

[Chris24589]

Hi, all! I ended up finding the rom! Just ended up downloading it directly through Samsung internet or any web browser on my phone cuz it would be gibberish if I did it through Google. Also, I tried using the orange island original beta Feb rom and for some reason, it actually worked (I ended up using the Uni Patcher android app cuz JS Patcher didn't save the rom right but as an ips)

Is this hack completed?

 

[Inner Rhymes]

Is this hack completed?

From what I recall, the main game is complete. Not sure about the postgame.

 

[PiaCRT]

I've started working on Shamouti Island before Hamlin/Tarroco as it's one of the biggest post game events, getting it out of the way will be a big relief off of my chest. Tiles you see here are by Myself, angrydev and JaceDeane. Graphics for the entire event are complete, just a few maps and scripting, and then I will release an updated beta.

Really looking forward for the final version. I remember playing this last year and getting to Moro Island but couldn't enter any building while I was there. But I am eager to replay this once it is (hoefully fully) completed.

If you could only get to Moro, it sounds like you played an old alpha, since beta 1 goes up to the third gym and has been out since Jan 2018.

 

[PiaCRT]

Coming along well, almost all of the interior maps of Shamouti are done, just a couple of small caves to go :)

And yes, you get to board The Flying Palace and fight off Fearow on the outside trying to get in.

EDIT 6/18/2022 Updated Patches with Several Bug Fixes

It's that time again. A new patch to play!
This one has a bit more than just fancy graphics, though! It adds the entire Movie 2000 event to the game. After beating the Orange League, you can take a boat from Kumquat to Shamouti Island, where a festival is happening.

The patch is currently untested, so expect some bugs or issues.
You can download the patch here https://github.com/PiaCarrot/pokeorange/tree/master/patches

Please apply movie-2000-no-pss.ips or movie-2000-pss.ips to a clean Pokemon - Crystal Version (UE) (V1.0) [C][!].gbc ROM, no other ROM will work! Otherwise, you can build it yourself from the source.

So, now is this complete apart from the bugs and issues? Thanks

No, I'd say it's still got a long way to go before I can call it "complete." However, this is the first step in completing the post game for Orange, and probably the biggest single event I've had to make for Orange.

Been playing the latest patch for about 10 hours now and just reached the golden island. Really beautiful maps! Only bug I've found so far was that dazzling gleam's animation seemed to be in the bottom right corner of the screen. Otherwise smooth sailing.

I've been talking to the artist who did the animations originally about 4 years ago, and hopefully some of them will be revisited soon.
