Emerald hack:Pokemon R.O.W.E. 2.0 - an Open World Version of Pokémon Emerald(Gen 9, 16 Badges, Sevii Islands, Following Pokémon, Costumes and much More)
I've enjoyed this hack before, but my main issue with it, which I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, is that the option to Disable Battle Animations doesnt actually work.
Pokémon R.O.W.E is an open-world take on Hoenn and the Sevii Islands, designed for easy team-building without the need for breeding. Every Pokémon is available from the start, offering endless team possibilities. With multiple gameplay modes, modern mechanics up to Gen 9, and tons of quality-of-life improvements, this game provides a fresh and replayable Pokémon experience.

I've enjoyed this hack before, but my main issue with it, which I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, is that the option to Disable Battle Animations doesnt actually work.
It's Battle Scene 'Disable Animations'. I always set it to Disabled, and the scenes still play.
EDIT- OK, I think I know what's going on. I've been downloading the patch from the front page, and it says the version is 2.0.4.1 but a few posts back, someone mentioned 2.0.4.3

2.0.4.1 is the most recent version listed on the discord, so I'm pretty sure that's the most current. I just didn't notice that choice under Battle Scene before, but you're right; that option does not work. The other choices do work though, and x4 speeds things up significantly.

My only other issue is the fact that I struggle to download the patch at times. I'll click the link in the front post, and my laptop is fairly old, so it's prone to crashing on the patcher screen.

This is the URL to directly download the current patch that appears on the Patcher screen (I assume it is okay to post this?). It doesn't specify a version, so I assume it auto-updates with the current version.

OK, that download works. However, the options STILL wont save properly. Everytime I change the Battle Animations to Disabled or Auto Followers to Disabled, the game basically goes 'Nah, I dont think so.'

Setting > Battle Scene > Disable Battle Animations doesn't work. x4 is the best working option.
After disabling "Settings > Custom > Auto Followers", you need to go to the Pokemon currently following you and select "Unfollow" to make that Pokemon stop following you (Disabling that option doesn't disable followers. It just makes the follower selection process manual, thereby making followers optional). The attached screenshot shows the new option that will appear in the Pokemon menu (which will say "Follow" if the Pokemon is not currently following you).
