HeartGold hack: Pokémon Red Reloaded

[†Nømura]

Pokémon Red Reloaded
Current Version: 0.1 (Goes up to Celadon City, must be patched on a clean US HeartGold rom)
Download here

Description:
Pokémon Red Reloaded is my attempt to port the GBA Pokémon Fire Red game to the NDS platform. It differentiates itself from other similar projects out there like Heart Red or Soul Silver in terms of edited maps and graphics. The story itself will stay faithful to the original one for the most part. In future releases, I aim to expand some parts of the story to show what characters like Silver, Ariana, Archer and others were up to before the events of HG/SS. Sevii islands are confirmed for the post-league story, and I also plan on opening Johto up for exploration.

Features:

Revamped maps and tileset graphics

All 493 Pokémon will be obtainable in-game

Kanto, Johto and Sevii Islands available for exploration

Characters from the Sinnoh and Hoenn games will also make an appearance

Fun side-quests will be given out by NPCs throughout the story

Yooo! First off, I want to say that this looks wonderful. I've always wanted to play a Fire Red/Leaf green port for the NDS. I really like how you did Red's in battle sprite. Cheers to more progress!

 

[bh02032002]

Good job dude looks pretty good. I'm gonna try it soon.

[EthanGold]

It is fantastic! You actually redone mt moon and other places and there is wild kanto music playing! Yey, thanks a lot. One question: are you going to implement fairy type with new fairy moves? Great job anyway

Hey I tried applying the patch to a clean USA dump like you said and it doesn't work, the checksum doesn't match what the patch was made for, you likely created a patch from a modified version of HeartGold instead of a clean copy. I also tried using the patch on three bad dumps of the game thinking maybe you used one of those, that didn't work either.

Well everyone, apparently there is some sort of issue with xDelta GUI (at least the version provided with the Red Reloaded patch), the patch simply couldn't be applied with it, instead I had to manually patch it via command prompt (thank goodness that exists). After doing so, I decided to make a proper/dedicated xdelta patch that I know will work for everyone, all you need is one of the following dumps below for the patch to work:

So i assume to get Leafeon you have to train Eevee in Viridian forest, and to get Glaceon.....in Seafoam islands?!

 

[RoadToCerulean]

Oh, another FRLG to HGSS portation. Hope this will continue until completion.

Progressed until Route 24. Test play bug report (many are HGSS leftovers):

Spoiler:

1. The Nidoran♀ in the intro uses Marill's cry.

2. Professor Oak's intro music should be Route 24.

3. Red / Leaf and Blue's sprites in naming interface are Ethan / Lyra and Silver.

4. Red / Leaf & Kanto Gym Leaders' Trainer Card sprites havn't been edited (Janine should be replaced by Koga and Blue should be replaced by Giovanni's silhouette).

5. When choosing Bulbasaur, the text color for "Bulbasaur" is black instead of green. Choosing other starters won't trigger the glitch.

6. Blue uses Silver's encounter & battle music (He should share his battle music with normal NPCs').

7. In the mid of the 1st rival battle, Blue uses Silver's quote.

8. Red / Leaf's sprite on the Town map is Ethan / Lyra.

9. The old man blocking Route 2 should be lying down.

10. When delivering the parcel, Blue's encounter music isn't played.

11. The Town Map can't be used.

12. The old man uses Leaf / Red's sprite to battle a Rattata with Marill, but he should directly catch a Weedle without battling it.

13. Route 2 plays Route 3's music while it should play Route 1's music.

14. All gates should play Viridian City's music.

15. When talking to the Jigglypuff in Pewter City PC, no music theme is played.

16. Pewter Gym should have 2 storeys and a eastern entrance.

17. When led to Pewter Gym by an NPC, no music theme is played.

18. Fatal: Sometimes the game will freeze when entering a Trainer battle.

19. Mt. Moon plays Union Cave's music.

20. At some areas (passageway to 1st Team Rocket Grunt) of Mt. Moon, some strange white noise can be heard.

21. At the 2nd Team Rocket Grunt in Mt. Moon, there is a lone stone that can be walked onto.

22. Near the exit of Mt. Moon, there's an item that can't be taken.

23. On Route 24, Blue's losing quote is the same as Silver's in Goldenrod tunnel.

> freezes sometimes in battle

Thanks for telling me that, I'll wait for when the game is completed before playing this.

 

[BH]

Oh since this will be the first time Pokemon tower will be heard in HG/SS soundfont, will it's music be like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84Tcxr8_l0Y

Udpate

Spoiler:

Fatal: Sometimes the game will freeze when entering a Trainer battle.

This is not an error, this is an anti piracy method from gamefreak if you playing the original HG/SS on an emulator

How to go to other region.

Hey, I think you should read the first page of every thread before actually forming a question. This hack only a single beta which goes up to Celadon city. There's no full version with Johto or any other region out yet.
