Hi, I finished the beta up to the Arctic cave, but when I used the same save to the new beta anything before the Artic Mirage there's too many glitches to count and the game freezes almost instantly, I've now saved after progressing quite far so I'm not keen on just resetting the game. Is this a problem for anyone else or is there something I did wrong?

Loving the hack by the way :)

I've had the same problem with the game freezing after just a couple of steps after applying the new patch.

Will the 2 versions of dr3 be for gba?
If you really do the hacks forthe fans then im sure me and most others will agree on a gba release nobody cares for a pc app to.play the last chapter of the series considering the fact that the 2 previous hacks are on gba
Well maybe 2% of the players who will play dr3 may want to play on the pc app which got a crappy name that i forgot (rpx?) but anyways the rest wont give a crap about a pc release

I wouldn't be surprised if I version of dr3 is for gba and the other is pc.

So DRG has updated the thread with a new ips. (beta2)

How to i go about updating it?

I currently have the beta 1 ips.

Do i just patch DRG's beta 2 ips to a clean firered rom or patch it on the existing firered rom that i am using for dr2 now?

Do i have to do anything else (like doing a save for my gave saves)? Thanks!

u need to patch it on a clean fire red rom. thats all u need. U should start a new save or it will be buggy. I used my old save & quick saves from the older beta on my phone & it messed up the maps. But since I re made my patch & made a quick save on my pc, the new save works now with no problems ... so far. I even think drg said to start a new save as well from her last post. But it's always wise to start a new save when a update comes out. Unless the creator say its ok to use the old save.

But does starting a new save mean that i have to start a new game/ re train all my pokemon?

Is there any way that i can update to the new beta but retain my current progress and pokemon?

Thanks!

just patch to a new rom without messing with your save file (ex: Dark Rising 2.sav) and you should be able to continue where you left off

You patch it to a clean firered rom but with the exact same name as your previous rom. If you had the first ips saved as Pokemon Dark Rising 2, then you would patch the new ips to a clean firered rom with the same name, being Pokemon Dark Rising 2 for this example. That way it replaces the game itself and not the save file. Lmk if you're confused, I tried explaining it the best I could.

hey this is great, you've done it again.
I'm still playing the first one and think its the best hack so far and can't wait for this second one!!!
Keep up to good work!!
And I'm wondering if there is a goal(month-wise) for the final release.
Thanks

Hi everyone! Loving this hack but I'm stuck. Tryna get to alfheim city and every direction I go to get there I always end up somewhere else. Am I missing something?? I'm pretty sure I've done everything I need to do.
