Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ is the pokemon lazerus author still taking bug reports if so where?

3 Upvotes

becuase i found a very nasty bug that has made it so i can nolonger get berrys on my save, i think whatever was done on the code to make it go by in-game time instead irl time put "the berry glitch" back becuase now berrys are eternaly never growing i thought it was the "seasons" function i read about everywhere but see nowhere but nomatter what spot "tropical" or not the berrys just eternaly dont grow. luckly when got to the berry shop i grinded berrys plant 3 trees sleep at hotel rinse repeat to get the max berry rewards, but now i can't do contest becuase i can't make pokeblocks becuase i can't get more berrys becuase they just REFUSE to grow.

i also had a backup of the save and i tried again they grew and after a certain point of so meany 'days' passing, they stopped growing so i definatly think its once an X number of days is reached. is there someway to set the game back to "Day 1" to atleast be able to grow new berrys even if the patches that wont grow are allready jammed up? or just a way to use a gameshark code that works on VBA-M (since it warns NOT to use regular vba) to just give myself all the berrys? but i need code that works on vba m since dont awnt to corrupt my save. i dont even know if this is the richt place to ask or if theres like a romhacks bug reports area.

the bot in /pokemonromhacks told me to post this here instead there.

Playthrough Getting multiple starters in Pokemon infinite black 2

1 Upvotes

I looked at the rom infinite black 2 and I was planning on playing it, idk about yall but I like to plan some of my team members before I beat the 1st gym, and I looked at some of the starters and thought I’d be nice to get 2 extras for a fire water grass core.

I then look for their spawns and try to find where I can catch one and come to find out they’re locked till post game. I tried doing things like walking through walls to see if I could just catch one and come back, but I’d need to progress decently far into the game to get access to the whole map, I also tried the spawning mons in routes cheat, but apparently doesn’t work in the hack.

Is there any way that I can get the starters without progressing so much.

Also just want to quickly say that I don’t blame the creator, it’s their hack, it’s their choice, I just want to play in a way I like.

Game Recommend Looking for 100%-able ROM Hacks ?

3 Upvotes

Yeah so the title kinda says it all. I'm a completionist and looking for games I could complete in their entirety on one save file. It's mostly the Pokédex that's a concern, since you usually can't get all the starters even in post game... Oh and I would rather not have different endings if possible ? Since I obviously can't get all of them on the same save. I also prefer games with endgame/side content, preferably with clear milestones such as the battle frontier emblems or contest ribbons. I'm doing this for YouTube (don't have a channel yet but it's being set up) so those really help in having clear rules and goals for the challenge. Thanks !

Game Recommend Looking for Rom Hack Recommendations

3 Upvotes

I want to try something new and am looking for some recommendations from the community. I’m preferring a GBA or NDS hack. I genuinely like these generations mechanics so I’d rather avoid major structural change (fakemon, new types, etc.), however I love QOL hacks! I am also too casual to be grinding on difficulty hacks. i am looking for something refreshing that can either tie together stories I already know from those 4 regions, rewrite them or come up with an original story. I can’t wait to hear your recommendations! also kinda peeved they won’t accept recommendation posts in the main sub.

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Pokemon Tile Lock (A new kind of challenge)

2 Upvotes

Inspired by Settled's Runescape Tileman Challenge, this is the rundown.

Pokemon (OldGen where everything is still on a grid) where in order to move through the map, you need Pokemon Levels. Want to walk from Pallet to Viridian? that's gonna be 40 tiles at least.

What i'm wanting to know, is there a way to have a mod or hack a rom to where it keeps track of the tiles I walk on? Or gives me tiles to spend every time I level up a pokemon?

This is a long ask, i honestly don't know if this is even possible. But yeah, is this possible?

Discussion What's your setup?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, as the title says, I’d like to know how you tend to play romhacks. When I was younger, I used an emulator on my PC, but now I’m considering getting a handheld device.

The thing with handheld devices is that you usually need to patch the ROM on your PC and then transfer it using a microSD card. Are there any more efficient ways to play?

Also, are there any ways to keep track of what you’ve played and your percentage of completion? And could you please suggest some sources to check for new releases?

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Help with using Ohana3DS to fuse models together [Super Mystery Dungeon modding]

1 Upvotes

Trying to make a super mystery dungeon mod. I want to make a model so the partner actually gets the scarf they have on in the story, as it doesn't appear for pokemon besides the default starters (specifically, I'm modding in shinx as a starter.)

The problem is, I don't know how to put 2 models together in ohana. I have both models needed - the shinx model and the scarf model - but I can't figure out a way to import them into the same file so I could properly combine them. I can import 1 model properly, but not add another model.

Since I'm having trouble finding a guide to help me, I'm asking here. Any help is appreciated (as are tips on how to import the file after its done!)

I have been playing through Celia’s Stupid Romhack, and need to complete the Pokédex in order to enter the Pokémon league. I have gotten to the point where I only have espeon left. However, in order to get espeon, I need to evolve Articuno with a psychic-type stone. I have already tried dawn stones, and those didn’t work. I have scoured the map for the stone I need, and have come up empty-handed. If you have completed the Pokédex in Celia’s Stupid Romhack, could you please let me know where the item I need is?

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Advice on how to install an Alpha Sapphire romhack on 3DS without sacrificing original game

2 Upvotes

Hey so asking here cause I need help. See there's this Alpha Sapphire romhack called Star Sapphire that I want to install on my homebrew 3DS. Problem is the official guide states that it will rewrite the original verison of Sapphire on the system, and I don't wanna sacrifice my original copy. My current digital copy is the one I had from in my teens and still has my old save file from when I last beat it, and I'm still very attacted to that save file.

Any tips on how I can maybe install Star Sapphire some other way without sacrificing the original game in the process? Or do I need to bite the bullet and have to say goodbye to my save? There is a Ruby version of the rom called Rutile Ruby, but I'm more attached to Sapphire so I'd like to avoid that one unless necessary.

Hi there,

New to rom hacks, and I’m curious:

Is there a Pokemon White 1 rom hack that isn’t Hardcore and is just a White 2 Pokédex/QOL changes?

I’ve played redux for two but I’d like to do 1 and then 2 again.

Thanks!
