I'm not aware of any New Game+ mode in ROWE. Unbound has that, though.

Regarding the Kubfu question, the only unobtainable mon's in this hack are non-Hoenn based. So, it's possible that it's not obtainable.

Check out the discord. We're much quicker to answer questions there.

Good day everyone, i just released an update to fix some issues while adding some other features
Changelog 1.5.1
-Added Rock smash items, you can get shards and other rare items like fossils from there
-Removed headbutt items
-Fixed Banette Palette

-Field moves now wont need any pokemon aside from Fly and you wont need to talk to the strength rock before being able to move it
-Added a new window to the start menu that shows you the time and has a step counter that you can reset by pressing R(limit 9999 steps)
-Now the start menu will remember the window you last used

The link is the same as the last one

Also when you finish the game on any difficulty,do you get to keep your actual pokemon on the boxes?,or what's the criteria or things added on new game+?.

Regarding to your questions, the only mythical and legendaries available to catch right now are the ones found on vanilla emerald check the documentation for more info on where to get them and i don't know anything about the new game+ you are talking about since that isn't a feature for this game

 

[Kalim]

Actually rioluwott,where's the documentation of r.o.w.e to check it out and maybe,just maybe see if kubfu or urshifu is there by chance and to check other pokemon too.

 

[Kalim]

Actually,i made a misunderstanding,i actually downloaded v1.5 from another thread without the documentation,and i just downloaded the 1.5.1 now,i'm gonna check it out,and thanks for the info guys!.

 

[Kalim]

rioluwott if by any chance you add on later updates of r.o.w.e,both kubfu and urshifu in both styles,please tell me and from which update and onwards too,also does anyone know which other hackroms has these pokemon?,besides let's go gba,radical red and 898 ramdomizer,if you happen to also know it's locations on those hackroms,please tell me too.

Could you please send me your Save File here or in Discord and tell me the battle that triggers the issue?
i haven't tested Randomize mode that much but i would like to fix it to avoid issues since i think it became a really used mode

Luckily I backed up the save before making a new one. It's attached.

It's at the beginning of the fight with Roxanne, the rock gym leader, that causes the freeze.

 

[Evan Tildrum]

Which emulator's did you try? I had an issue with John GBA doing the same but I tried MyBoy! and there's been no freezing.

What rom did you use to patch? And what program did you use to patch it?

I tried both mGBA and VBA and both freeze attempting to challenge Roxanne. A fresh new save with the same randomizer setting doesn't repeat the issue.

I even tried patching a fresh Pokemon Emerald (U) rom with the 1.5.1 update via rom patcher JS site (the included NUPS application doesn't work for some reason, despite it said it successfully patched the rom) and verified that MD5s matched the one in the readme. Loaded the problematic save file, challenged her again and same issue but this time it gives a crash error "Jumped to invalid address: C0000464"

I doubt this could be the case, but check your PC for bad eggs. They can destroy save files. If you have any, they're likely what's causing the crash.

Edit: I booted up your save and for me it started a soft reset in game. There's clearly something wrong. Also, why don't you have Dexnav active in your save?

Edit 2: Oh, duh. You're on Randomizer. Forgot that he disabled it.

 

[rioluwott]

Thanks for that, your save helped me understand the problem and i hopefully fixed it for everyone else too regardless of their save

Hello my friend, I created an account just to report some bugs I found in the game's audio

1) When we mute the sound in the game's options and enter the water and return to dry land, the game's sound stops but the music continues

2) In the first beta (1.5), when we changed bgm music to any other of the 4 options, the route songs changed, from the beta (1.5.1) the route songs were only from the hoenn region

for how long I only found these audio bugs

1) I'm using myboy emulator in version 1.8

 

[DJCherryTempo]

My only issues with playing Pokemon Emerald hacks are that I cant seem to find working Gameshark/Codebreaker codes (at most, I'd only use Infinite PP). The other reason I dont like doing Emerald hacks is cause of all the Mach Bike puzzles being impossible for me.

Other than those personal gripes, I actually like this ROM hack. I love the Perfect IVs and No EVs modes.

2) In the first beta (1.5), when we changed bgm music to any other of the 4 options, the route songs changed, from the beta (1.5.1) the route songs were only from the hoenn region

Only routes 101-103 have variable music if I remember correctly

The first one is indeed an issue but the second one was intended because i haven't sorted all the music for the routes and cities

Only routes 101-103 have variable music if I remember correctly

Hi Cyan, thanks for your hard work in the Music expansion, the Regional BGM options were all thanks to you

I see, I would like to thank you for making such a good project, the music, the graphics and the new mechanics add a lot to the game, congratulations on the project 😁👍🏾

Heyo! I believe I've encountered two bugs, I'm afraid.

The first is pretty simple. Life Dew seems to have the same effect as Recover. It doesn't heal an ally, but it does heal the user by 50% of their health.

The second bug is a bit more obscure. After battling Norman, he gives me a Master Ball. I assume this is intended. However, after this, he gives me another. And another. And another. And another... and, as far as I can tell, he continues giving me Master Balls, even after I've hit the cap of 99. (I think it's 99 in Gen 3, right?) Any idea why this might be happening?

 

[lucifer36]

nice game i love 8th gen mons

some bugs from the top of my head:

• mega icon sometimes is kept on the screen after pokemon faints
• eiscue's ability doesn't work
• dragapult's dragon darts don't change trajectory to another pokemon if target faints on 1st hit or is protected

you should add the legendaries too. fun

 

[theRiolvile]

So far Rioluwott you add a alternative start almost like a free choice to do wow I cant stop looking with the Dexnav but money grinding is a problem

 

[RazorMax007]

One small problem: Sometimes items wild Pokémon hold do not match what Dexnav described. (e.g. Dexnav says ditto hold destiny knot, but turn out to be everstone or hold noting at all)

Also, there is probably a typo: Flechinder should be Fletchinder

Version Beta 1.5.2 using Myboy!

 

[jaycorejola42]

Can you add all pokémons in sword and shield to this rom hack in version 2.0 because i really want dragapult pretty plssssss🥺🥺🥺
