Hey, do you have the edited update installed? If so, are you playing rebalanced or standard? The mart freeze happens when the shop.cro file doesn't match the game version, which usually happens if the update is missing.
Hey sorry about the confusion over this, for whatever reason there are two separate sets of encounters for Route 1 and the initial set hasn't been edited properly. I'll add a note about it to the install docs until I can get a fix up for it.
Nice team, that's an interesting coincidence!
Yeah it's perfectly safe to update mid playthrough, the hack doesn't alter save data for now.
Updating it is the same process as building it the first time; if it worked before it should still work now. What's in your exefs folder after unpacking the ROM? There should be three files there, one of which is the banner file. If it's missing it's usually an issue with the tool or the ROM itself.
I did add Recover to Primarina as a substitute for Life Dew, but most of the other Pokemon that got it already have a recovery move or don't really need one so that's covered. It'd be nice to figure out an equivalent for Body Press, but it's easier to make the Pokemon that want it no longer need it to do good damage (hopefully Dragon Dance and Coil are enough for Steelix alongside its Mega).
I suspect that's either the cheats or a bad ROM dump causing that, but it's strange for a cheat code that doesn't modify the save to break something so severely.
Do the wild Pokemon levels match the documents, or are they unchanged too? You can check by going to Route 3 and looking for a Pokemon that is either level 9 or level 13; if a level 9 mon shows up, the entire encounters file is unmodified, but if a level 13 mon appears then there's an issue with the modified encounters file.
I can't PM you for some reason, but I think you can safely ignore that error; if it happens while extracting and it continues extracting anyway (or it's finished by that point) it's probably not an issue. AFAIK USUM isn't supposed to have a banner.bnr file (my copy definitely doesn't have one at least). You can verify that the extraction went okay by checking how many files are in the romfs folder; there should be around 747 of them.
Yeah, so that means that the wild encounters file wasn't copied over during the build process somehow (I've tested it to make sure it wasn't a mistake on my end). To fix it you just need to rebuild the ROM; you can use your edited one and skip all the steps related to the exeFS/code.bin and title updates, only the romfs part needs updating.
Go to the luma\titles\00040000001B5100\romfs\a\0\8 folder in the hack's files and check that there's a file there named 2. If it's missing, re-download the hack, and if it's there, manually copy it to the same location in the romfs of the ROM you're building. This is the file that contains all the wild Pokemon data, so if it's not there in the ROM they won't be changed.
Maybe try a different tool to rebuild the ROM; either Asia 81's toolkit or an earlier version of the dotnet toolkit. It's strange that everything worked before but isn't working now though.
