    I've heard people mentioning the possibility of using Pokémon Gaia as a ROMBase. I have a couple questions about this.
    First, is this an okay thing to do, or would it be considered plagiarism?
    Second, how would you go about setting it up. Would you need special .ini's for certain programs, and how would you set these up?

    • Spherical Ice has allowed it on the condition that you make the inis and such yourself, as he doesn't want to be bothered on the matter. I think that's pretty fair. Just find out where stuff has been repointed to and you'll be able to generate an ini for yourself.

    Pretty much this. But him not wanting to be bothered about it probably extends to all questions related to using Gaia as a rombase.

    Alright, any tips on how to go about finding where data has been repointed too?

    Knowing what a pointer is
    Click to expand...

    I know what a pointer is an address that directs the program to look for certain data at a certain point. I'm just not sure how to find how those pointers have been changed. I'll try to figure it out, though.

    If you have an ini with the original offsets for Fire Red, by searching for the offsets of the pointers in Fire Red, you can see what pointer is at that offset in Gaia. Ie. use the find function in HxD to search for the pointer in Fire Red, mark down the offset it takes you to, and go to that offset in Gaia.
