Emerald hack: Pokémon Emerald++

Any idea what the Shiny Rate is? I'd assume if a Shiny Charm is added, getting a Shiny is actually random now, and has a 1/1365 with the charm, or if it's standard Gen 3 Rates, than it's 1/2731 with the charm.
 
Hey,
just finished the main game in Emerald++ and really enjoyed it !
love the scattered legendaries and qol features !

A funny thing you can do in this:
  • #1 Use the Cheat Code to get 100% catch rate
72023124 DCCE
82023124 DC65
  • #2 Catch Groudon and Kyogre with the cheat active
They stay mege evolved without needing the orb so you can boost them with another item & when following you kyogre is the male player on a bike and groudon will be a kid
+ if there is a way to catch another mege evolved pokemon with that cheat it propaply will be a new character😅

Also some NPC's in the Space Center were standing in Walls & Outside the Map, still was able to progress but a strange teleporter which isnt doing anything was there aswell, maybe a bug?

Keep up the amazing work!

Game broke. My dude hit an invisible wall so I tried to exit and come back and now he's invisible and there's still a wall blocking me and I can't go anywhere. The game has been fun, but it crashes a lot, as well

It fixed itself. Weird. Had to keep getting into wild battles and allow it to dump me in random places before my character finally appeared on the screen and could run the current path. I went inside a building and it fixed itself. Amazing game. I'm loving it

Introducing: Pokémon Emerald++
Emerald++ is my first ever ROM hack based on the pokeemerald decomp. Thanks to everyone who contributes to it (and the expansion)! I couldn't have done this without that foundation. I started this ROM hack back in August as a fun way to learn the ins-and-outs of the decomp and idea after idea snowballed it into a full project. Is it unique? ...probably not, I'm sure there's tons and tons of "Emerald but better/modern" hacks out there, but I honestly didn't even know about them until I was well into this project. My hope is that, even though this may not stand out as unique, it will still be a fun "modded" Emerald experience. I hope you enjoy!

Special Thanks:

A special thank you to everyone listed (and many who were not listed but contributed to the simple modifications thread)! I have learned so much since starting this project. There are a few bugs, but I think I'm done working on this for right now. I have other ideas I want to get to (and also art school :D). Truly I wanted to make a game that I'd enjoy playing, and I think I've done just that, so that's enough for me. I hope you enjoy!


So this rom hack looks insanely awesome and I'm about to give it a shot. But just out of curiosity since I didn't see it in the features listed. Is the Physical/Special split implemented in this hack? Like Shadow Ball being special instead of physical since it's Gen 3.
 
Having a few annoying bugs at the Battle Frontier:
  • Battle Arena -> Cant select moves without the game reloading, making it impossible to pass
  • Battle Dome -> no npc opponent shows up but the battle still starts

Other Bugs:
  • Sometimes switching the main pokemon (while following me) will give a blackscreen
  • Going from the Jagged Pass to Route 112 on a bike will mess up everything really good, no progess possible
  • Some npcs's are placed outside the map & in walls at the Mossdeep Space Center but are fine afer beating everyone & returning later

(Using Visual Boy Advance 2.1.11)
Love the Rom, would love a update :)
 
I love the hack, I just wish there was just one type of cheat included: Codes for pokemon that are incredibly difficult to catch, are incredibly rare, or pokemon that you wouldn't be able to obtain otherwise. Mostly just because stocking ultra balls and getting the optimal pokemon catching team is a super boring hassle that I really don't wanna deal with for all the legendaries and dozens of other rare and mythical pokemon.
 
I found out in the decomp code that sneasel evolved while leveling up at night with a razor claw, is there a specific place I can buy that in the game or should I use the secret menu to add it in?
Im also looking for this. Was anyone able to find it? Or a cheat code to buy it?
 
v6 is now live on the main post! Changes include updated linking cord evolutions, fixed mega evolutions, and I think I also fixed a bug with the super effective/not effective moves being highlighted on the battle screen.
where do I find linking cords??
 
Just wondering if anyone have seem a female meowstic, tried to catch both but I can only find the male form. Also, will there be a future update to expand the PC further? Trying to do a living dex, but the PC storage isn't enough for that.
 
hey! loving this hack so far! a friend and i are doing a soul link nuzlocke. :) however, i must have triggered an event i wasn't supposed to. when i went to the space center to do the magma fight with steven, steven was spawned in the corner in front of a portal that led to giratina, palkia, and dialga. i didn't know what else to do so we broke rules for a bit and i just went in and caught them lol but that didn't spawn steven in over by maxie where he should be. i battled everyone in the space center and have tried using the utility menu to fly to mossdeep and re-enter the space center, but still no dice. is there a fix to this?
 
Hey love the hack, I've been having a bug where random items I pick up just don't appear in my bag at all? I've lose out on a lot of necessities from this

I also was stuck here and couldn't progress because of it... So I looked thru the code to figure out how to resolve it.

Some conditions have to be set for the fight to work properly. Modify the following flags using the debug menu:
  • 0x3A should be FALSE - This will mark the space trio as not yet defeated
  • 0x3F should be FALSE - This marks the "sinnoh intro" as incomplete
  • 0xCD should be FALSE - This makes it so that we have not yet interacted with Steven in the space center
  • 0x35F should be TRUE - This makes Steven visible on the 2nd floor
  • As well, make sure you have toggled OFF the National Dex (this is just in the Flags & Vars menu)
Here are the flags surrounding the Sinnoh trio in case you want to reset them afterwards:
  • FLAG_SPACE_TRIO_DEFEATED: 0x3A
  • FLAG_HIDE_PALKIA: 0x3B
  • FLAG_HIDE_DIALGA: 0x3C
  • FLAG_HIDE_GIRITINA: 0x3D
  • FLAG_HIDE_SPACE_PORTAL: 0x3E
  • FLAG_SINNOH_INTRO_DONE: 0x3F
  • FLAG_SINNOH_EVENT_COMPLETE: 0x40
Hope this helps!!
 
Trying to find Maxie to awaken Groudon since he has the orb. Can you help me
Did you ever figure this one out?

I'm at the same place now, fought my way through the Magma Hideout but Tabitha and Maxie didn't spawn.

No way to progress the story if can't get past this. Hoping you figured it out and can help?!

Hey! Do you know where on the GitHub code I can find the flag data? I've got some trouble with Maxie and Tabitha not spawning in the Magma Hideout and I can't progress the story as a result :(

Got no experience with code at all so navigating it is difficult when I don't know where I'm looking. I'm assuming there will be a flag that will make Maxie spawn and trigger the blue orb Groudon event but can't find it.

Would appreciate help!
 
Hello! First off just wanted to say this is an incredible revamp of Emerald - it's the first romhack of any Pokemon game I've tried. The follower feature & additional Pokemon are sooo well done - hats off!

I did want to ask tho - I can't seem to find the toggle option for allowing EXP share for your whole team. There's nothing for it in the Options menu, and I can't seem to find it anywhere else? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
