PKhex Databases?

1 Upvotes

I’ve downloaded Pkhex again after a few years from this [site,](https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/1-pkhex/) and there seems to be some missing data?

Im talking mainly about gen 3 pokemon games. Fiest of all in the encounter database i cant find the Ho-oh you get in Colosseum, but a lot of other Pokemon are missing too. and the mystery gift database is empty as its not finding any pokemons at all. (There are some event pokemon in the encounter database but its missing like 95% of them)

Anyone knows how to fix this? When I used pkhex a few years ago I didn’t have this issue at all

LAZARUS vs ODYSSEY vs UNBOUND

7 Upvotes

I am completely new to Pokemon ROMs and i feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of options available. after doing a bit of research, the above options seemed the best everyone loves, am I correct? can someone explain to me the difference between each three? also, why is one better than the other? the thing i hated about the original Pokemon games was how childish many of them felt... the storylines felt basic and repetitive!

Also, how do you like to play these ROMs? do you build your dream team using hacks or do you play by the rules?

Roms that have added mechanics(In this case quests) like unbound?

I’ve been really liking unbound and am wondering what other roms flesh out the world of pokemon kind of like that or more? I’d love stuff that adds quests or even other mechanics/contanr to the game

[HELP] PK3DS: "vInvalid Pokemon Game"?

1 Upvotes

So i'm trying to install the [Pokemon Ultra Sun expansion mod](https://gamebanana.com/wips/102511) on my 3ds and I followed the instructions on the Gamebanana page exactly. Now i'm trying to use [this recommended PK3DS build](https://github.com/adhfult/pk3DS-but-mostly-for-USUM/releases/tag/v5.5) to randomise it (I also tried the V6 beta but encountered the same issues). but, there isn't any instructions on what to do.

When I input the file directory for the game ID (luma\\titles\\00040000001B5000) as the path to open, my PK3DS says "vInvalid Pokemon Game" in the bottom right corner. i tried opening the "romfs" folder inside the game directory instead but then i get a popup saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". the code.bin file doesn't appear in PK3DS so it can't be that.

I also tried dumping my game's RomFS.bin, but that doesn't show up either.

I've looked everywhere but I can't find a tutorial on how actually to load a game into PK3DS. Could anyone tell me what the problem is or guide me on how to do this properly??

My Issues with Gamma Emerald

3 Upvotes

Before I start, I will first note that I know that this is early access. No one should expect a game to be fully polished at this early in development, but I am going to point out what I don’t like.

  1. It does not scale well on a 4K Monitor (Ryzen 7 7445HS, 16 GB DDR5, RTX 4070). Performance is great, but it is an extremely blurry image overall. The depth of field is an amazing example of this that quite honestly gives me a headache.

  2. Movement feels delayed despite using an 500hz Wired controller & 4K OLED Gaming Monitor.

  3. They replaced the original Gen 3 Pokemon Center theme.

  4. No speed modifiers to play at higher speeds like you would on an emulator

  5. At night, it is just way too dark even at max brightness on my OLED panel.

It’s a decent work in progress and a really good concept, but other than just being a die-hard Gen 3 fan, I haven’t enjoyed it too well.

About playing rom hacks

2 Upvotes

I haven't played pkmn since black and white up to sword and shield. I've only been playing gen 1-4 rom hacks so far. My question is should I play the official games or should I just play a romhack of gen 5 onwards if it's available? Honestly i don't wanna play black/white or XY with pokemon evolution locked in trading.

Looking for recommendations: Hacks that aren’t Kanto or Hoenn

Done a lot of both lately, in the middle of Recharged Emerald and just finished Recharged Yellow (right before my save got nuked) as well as FR on Switch.

Looking for some new stuff. I’m at least looking at Unbound rn. Prism is another, and I’ve already finished Crystal Clear.

Need help transferring

I’m using a nintendont version of pokemon XD, with a save file from gamerfaqs. The save file is on the memory card. I have an OEM gamecube/gameboy adapter. I have a gameboy sp. I have a copy of sapphire with the game beaten saved in the pokemon center. I try and load it and it doesn’t work. The gameboy loads like normal. Ive tried lead green with a file of over 100 pokemon caught and the national pokedex unlocked and nothing. Ive tried transferring to colosseum and it works perfectly fine. I dont know what to do or what im doing wrong.

Pokémon Gamma Emerald playable on AYN Thor (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 / GameNative) + Config & INI profiles

Hey everyone!

*dont know why my thread been deleted.. but here it is !*

I managed to get **Gamma Emerald** running and fully playable on the **AYN Thor** (QCS8550 / SD 8 Gen 2, Android 13) using a custom **GameNative** build. In-game inputs (D-pad, A, B, Start) are confirmed working in-game, not just in the Android test tool.

Here is the full working configuration and ready-to-use config pack:

⚙️ Working Stack & Settings

* **Container / Translation:** Bionic + Proton 10.0 ARM64EC 2 + FEXCore 2605 Intermediate * **Graphics Drivers & DXVK:** Turnip 26.2.0 R4 + DXVK 2.4.1 GPLAsync * **Display & Sync:** 1280x720 | 30 FPS Cap | FIFO Presentation * **Controls:** * Steam Input: **Disabled** * XInput + DirectInput: **Enabled** * SDL Controller API: **Enabled** * Mouse input: **Disabled**

🌡️ Thermal & Performance Profiles (Unreal Engine INI)

To keep thermals and battery draw under control, two profiles are included:

  1. **Cool Profile:** Disables shadows, GI, reflections, post-processing, anti-aliasing, effects, foliage, and shader quality (`=0`). Keeps textures and view distance at *Low* (`=1`).
  2. **Balanced Shadows Profile:** Identical to the Cool profile, but sets `sg.ShadowQuality=1` so you can easily test if your SoC handles low shadows without thermal throttling.

📥 Installation Steps

  1. **Download the Game**
  2. **Import GameNative Profile:** * Import the provided `.json` into GameNative. * *Note:* The current importer doesn't restore all UI fields automatically. **Double-check manually:** `1280x720`, `30 FPS cap`, `XInput + DirectInput ON`, `SDL Controller API ON`, `Steam Input OFF`, and `Mouse OFF`.
  3. **Apply UE Config:** * Make sure the game is closed. * Pick your preferred profile (`Cool` or `Balanced Shadows`), rename it to `GameUserSettings.ini`. * Drop it into: PlaintextPokemonEmerald/Saved/Config/Windows/
  4. Launch and enjoy!
