    Hey there,
    maybe you remember some screenshots showing the unpack-algorithm plus a date referring to October 2008. Obviously, this release date can't be maintained anymore... I had to delay the tool again due to personal reasons - sorry for that.
    But enough of the bad news. Here are the good ones:

    The Tool called is now in the "open beta" state - the first stable version will be V0.1.2. The Day-Night-System is now working for several versions of Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald - hopefully for yours too - the beta test took us much time.

    As you can see in the screenshot below, there will be a "password system". Maybe you'll say "awww, that sux MX!!" but i have two reasons for introducing these passwords:

    1) I don't feel like fixing about 10000 ROMs where some "intelligent" people tried to edit the very sensitive, ASM-based D/N-S manually.
    2) The "password" is your personal checksum and the unpacking key as well. It's calculated by 2 "StartCodes" in the ROM-Header. These 2 StartCodes contain 16 bytes - each - and are completely assignable by the user. So you can write 32chars in your ROM-header which nobody can change - if someone tries it, the D/N-S is disabled. So this is YOUR possibility to put your (or mine *gg*) copyright. =)

    UPDATE
    Okay. That's basically how it will work. A D/NS minisite and some screenshots can be found here:
    https://sfc.pokemon-inside.net/dayandnight.php


    UPDATE II
    Some of you will have noticed that I released a first candidate to the public. It can be found on SFC.

    Great screen shots. I can't wait for the release so we can finally see all the hacks that never get completed, but have Day/Night. :o Nah... But, good job on this.

    *claps*
     
    wow. this is amazing! i didn't know you made tools! i will surely try this!

    question.

    does it work on emerald (english), and fire red (english)?
     
    YES!

    Yes... Yes, Yes... Yes, Yes, Yes... Yes...

    I have waited so long for this, I've tried almost every possible way
    of implanting a D&N- system in my Hack (Levelscript, ASM Pallet editing event etc.)
    but all have failed...

    And now this comes....
    I LOVE* YOU M_X!!!

    Can't wait for it to come out ;)

    Wow, this is going to be great. The screenshots look great. Can't wait for the actual tool. Great work MX.
     
    That's brilliant. Congratulations on this! I cannot wait to see it in action. A lot of people are very keen to see this!

    At the moment the Sys is designed for RSE in all languages. It will follow for FR/BG later...

    The latter of that sentence is very interesting. :)

    Best of luck for this!

    This is very nice can't wait for the Firered/Leaf Green Version XD.
     
    well I actually saw this all on your site yesterday, looks pretty impressive :)
     
    Oh, this is VERY interesting.
    But, I have a little question.
    How you're suposed to change the palletes on the various secondary tilesets? I mean, the program shows a VBA-like pallete viewer, wich covers the main tileset and the current secondary. What happens if you want to apply the D/N system on all secondary tilesets? Is there a way to change them?

    Editable in Hex, the pallettes are loaded from the RAM if I'm correct.
     
    i am surely going to use this. i hope you do good and there's no bugs!

    The palette above is just an example. The preferences are dynamically set for all palettes.

    Don't worry, there will be A HUGE amount of bugs. XD In fact we're facing new problems all the time. But nothing is impossible... =P
    That's why I'll release the tool for a public beta. ^^
