Emerald hack: Pokémon SwowS! [[BETA 1 OUT]]

[Alexander Nicholi]

Hello everyone! I am very excited to finally finish up and publish this first beta of my ROM hack, Pokémon SwowS!

This is a 2-gym beta. I hope you will be enticed to give it a try with this release. As linked in the OP, the releases can be obtained in source and patch form from GitHub.

Thank you for downloading and playing my hack! Enjoy!

I can't seem to find the patch on GitHub, can someone help me out?

Yea. I cannot make heads or tails of this GitHub crap. Why not just compile (if that's even the right word) it into an .ips or .ups file to make it easier for us less techy techy people?

The patches are available on the releases page, in two formats: BPS and XDelta. Other formats are not made as they proved incredibly large (over 10 MB). This happens because SwowS is a decompilation-based fanhack, so a great deal of data gets relocated without modification. The algorithms in the IPS and UPS formats are too primitive to effectively cope with this.

I see, thanks for the help lol. I do admit, this GitHub thing is a tad overwhelming to me, and I appreciate your help with downloading this. It looks fun.
