Ruby hack: Pokémon Pure Gold

The patch (.ips) doesn't work for me. But it looks AWESOME!

It shouldn't sound off, chances are people are being picky. The music sounds great to me.

IMO the music isn't bad, it's in the correct key, only difference is that GBC used synth instruments, GBA uses up to 5 direct sound instruments and 3 synth. Key changes aren't bad, Nintendo changed keys for Heart Gold and Soul Silver completely. Because having 10+ instruments per song would obviously change the key...So people saying Nintendo never did that, are talking nonsense. Not to mention Heart Gold/ Soul Silver Music Sucks. I'm sure fellow remakers and the decent hackers will agree. The additional bits added to songs in HG/ SS and the bad instrument choice was a turn-off but the key was okay.

Make sure your instrument choice is decent and not like Heart Gold/ Soul Silvers.

Either way, I could Remix songs for you, Zodiac. You have my MSN anyways. I'll have proof of work. However, I'm so awesome that I'll doubt you'll need it. :)

Pretty true. But just wanted to correct you and tell you that GBA actually has 4 synth instruments, synth 1, synth 2, the wav channel and the noise channel.

Also, watch what you guys call "remixes" around here. A remix is NOT the exact same song with changed instruments and an added drum beat. That's an arrangement. Now if you add instruments that weren't in the original and maybe change up the melody a bit, it can be considered a remix.

So if you take the exact same song and put it in GBA instruments, it is not a remix, it's an arrangement.

My opinion on key changes is, use or don't use them, it really doesn't matter. Both the official remakes of Red and Blue and the official remakes of Gold and Silver used them.

Actually, the only HG/SS songs that were in a different key than the original were the Cianwood, Ecruteak, and Team Rocket Encounter themes. However, FR/LG songs used key changes quite frequently.
 
Yo zodiacthegreat, just asking, are you going to use any asm and if you are may you please show us some of the things you are doing with asm?

Calm down, i was just trying to se if he was still working on this hack cuz there havent been alotof updates lately. And Zodiac, What kind of ASM are u using. Just asking:nervous:
 
Maybe someone can help a noob here. How do I open an IPS file into my VBA or No$GBA? Sorry, maybe this isnt the best spot to ask this, but its so frustrating to see all these games and not being able to play them
 
A small update
This is regarding the titlescreen, I've uploaded the video which you can download and see below in the attachments. For people who're really generous can help me host this video on youtube but be sure to send me the link so I can post it on the first page ^^

What's new?
Well, this time I've fixed the animations and added the moving clouds, and the cry just like in Fire Red.

Other Stuff
I've decided that beta 1 ends at Azalea, so for people who used cheatcodes to explore more then the Alpha - I'm sorry, no new stuff for you besides the changes in say Titlescreen and others but no maps beyond Azalea.

The new titlescreen looks nice but I think that the cloud movement could be a lot smoother. Why don't you only subtract 1 from BG3HOFS every frame or even every other frame? I think that would make it look a lot less choppy.

It looks good like that, I love it that way. How do you even know I'm using BG3 for the clouds when I just posted the video lol.

Edit: I just fixed my titlescreen code to make the clouds scrolling smoother - it appears I placed my code in the wrong place.

@ cocolstyles - And no :P I didn't do a subtract 1 to fix it. It wasn't meant to be choppy lol :P
@ Others - Sorry, if you please re-upload the new one XD

The new titlescreen looks prefect,but making a flying hoho would make it more perfect ^_^ that's all,not negative comentary about this today
 
Ultimamente todos los proyectos tienen tiles relacionados con Pokemon Oro y plata y eso le resta originalidad al proyecto, asi que mi consejo es, que pongas unos graficos mas propios o incluso mas tridimensionales

Ultimately all projects related tiles Pokemon Gold and silver and that detracts originality to the project, so my advice is, you put some graphics own or even more dimensional
 
awesome. i like the animated titlescreen. it looks like alot of hackers are getting better everyday and games are even more addicting
