Ok, I follow everything on the tutorial but whenever I try to locate my Desktop like this:

C>Documents and Settings\Name\Desktop

It says:

'DOCUMENTS' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I don't get it. HELP!

Woah! Wtf . .

It's recovery time!
So we got a screwed up ROM... Let's fix it.

1. Take your screwed up ROM and a clean one. Just for exteme safety, do a backup of the ruined ROM.
2. Now repeat the last change you did on the clean ROM you took.
In my case I would re-insert Charmeleon over Charmander on the clean ROM, with "Auto abort" off. In your case this action will depend on what you did earlier.
3. Then open A-Ptch or whatever patcher you fancy. As the original, unmodified ROM take the modified clean ROM. As the new modified ROM take the screwed up ROM.
4. Create the patch.
5. Now take another clean ROM and apply the patch you just created to it.​

If you did everything correctly, the ROM will be fully recovered now.

OMFG! That was amazing . .

My ROM was screwed because of music editing then I saw this thread and followed it and what do you know, it really FIXED it! (This prevented me from doing additional 5 hours of repairing xD)

" I thought that was it."

Thanks a lot!

Can you help me? I didn't managed to do it. I wanted to delete 2 maps from the same bank so I did a way I found in a tut. On Map Header I put -2. Then I inserted a blank map and those 2 were gone. But then every map with bank 3 didn't open. It said 'Access violation at address 004CCB2A in module 'AdvanceMap.exe'. Read of address 22222222'. I followed the instructions for rescuing but it did not work! It said the file was invalid to patch! Please, help me.

I've had that problem too. Maybe you're using the wrong command prompt.

What OS are you using?

If XP go to Start Menu, then select Run and type in cmd. If you typed in command prompt, it won't work.

If Vista, go to Start Menu, then type cmd.

If other OS, then I don't know.

I have a problem now, everytime I insert an ASM file, it screws up my ROM. I'm sure I'm using a clean ROM, I've tried different ROMs now but it still screws up.

command prompt works like thish (in a laymans' nutshell)
programfilename program-argument <mawr program arguments>
If your current directory is
"C:\"
and you enter "job.exe"
cmd concatenates the two onto eachother, and you get "C:\job.exe", which is then executed
now if you typed
"job.exe C:\program files"
that would not work because the argument gets split into...
"C:\program" and "files"
to solve this, put it in quotes

also, if your using xp, you would go: cd "C:\Documents and Settings\NAME HERE\Desktop\ASM". the cd stands for change directory.

hey, i just started pokehacking...and im very low on scripts :'(
but hackmew this helped alot

 

[ERROR]

i have question about compiling
i understand how it was done and all but how was it compiled into the rom? i dont see where that happened :(

and also concerning palettes if i was making a titlescreen would it be possible to repoint the palettes to a different offset wouldnt that make it easier for using images that used 32 palettes or more?

Cool you are the best Hack Mew I love using your tools they are just so convenient. Good job. Just keep on hacking.

I have a problem...I've been doing the ASM tutorial but whenever I start the debugger and the Rom, it always gives me an error and shuts out of the rom with an error report. It says "VBA-over.ini not found" on the command prompt.

if you have the ordinary VBA, copy it's .ini file and paste the same directory as the debugger.
