Why everybody rarely make a hack base on Emerald ?

[cspmoneymaker]

Unfortunately I use the emulator on my phone,not VBA.can't speed up.And I just don't have any experience in hacking,if I knew how I would make it.

Well, I was just talking in general. I wasn't referring specifically at you. As for VBA... whatever emulator you use, it's still not a valid reason to choose Ruby over FireRed.

Emerald was a real advance with its usage of media, and it's hard to edit the vedios of cutscenes except for the sprites. Also, emerald has a lot of scripts.

Pardon?

1. It's no more advanced that the other GBA games from the series, at least not in any way that would affect the average hacker.
2. Why would the number of scripts affect anything? 0.o

There are just far too many scripts to even know which one should be edited first so the other one isn't damaged.

Just insert your own scripts? Changing scripts using a fixed offset is never a good idea anyway.

(I think it has less free space, I dunno, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. More events, less free space? o.o)

The amount of space you have in the rom dosen't come into play at all, simply add more space.

And yeah, because its graphics aren't really the best. :p

They're better than R/S by a mile.

After all,I still like the Hoenn region more than others,whatsoever.

Does it always need a reason?
Maybe they just have a bias to Firered or games other than Emerald.
And it's pretty hard to use Emerald as a starting rom, since you can't do much with the very limited space it has.

you could expand the rom to 32mbs

Yeah,I agree ! But now we shouldn't stay here and argue about it,why don't make one to prove ?

 

[NarutoActor]

well to get some major things up to par like graphics you would need to edit all the tiles because emeralds is lacking compared to firered and edit the flower animation there are some good emerald hacks but hay dose the rom base realy make a difference its about the hacking quality not the base the base is really only for preference the fact the emreald isnt used much shows not that most people dont prefer it over firered

I don't think I stated myself clearly enough.
It's hard to use Emerald as a starting rom.
Most beginners won't even know how to do that, or even what that means.
Emerald is the superior game of the generations in terms of sheer features.

The truth I've also always had the same question, but I think there are several reasons.

1 .- sometimes are glitchs
2 .- scripting is sometimes very different from older versions
3 .- some worry because there is less space available

 

[colcolstyles]

Well, technically, they shouldn't. My experience with Emerald has been very pleasant and enjoyable. There seems to be a widespread misconception that there's something wrong with Emerald. People are just more familiar with Ruby/Fire Red and they'd rather stick with what they already know than experiment with something new, despite the fact that that is the very nature of hacking :\

What can you do?

 

[Cryomancer]

You can make a hack using / add tool support for a lesser used rom, of course!

[Mister Flogers]

I prefer fire red, has the machinics I like

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

I prefer fire red, has the machinics I like

Yes, because less mechanics is good.
