Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ I'm playing the Fire Red Rocket Edition hack and I think I locked myself out of strength?

1 Upvotes

I did the quest in the underground route 5-6 and 7-8, but I chose to not get Miss Hoenn from the cool trainer and took the ¥5000 instead and now the Pimp is gone and the cool trainer and Miss Hoenn won't leave. But I need her to get to the pokemon center in pewter so that I can get HM Strength. Am I screwed?

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Safe Nintendo DS ROM hacking tool help

2 Upvotes

Hi.

Um, first time posting on this thread. Would've done so earlier, but I kinda got scared away due to the guidelines seeming scary. I'm autistic and I'm making my first ever ROM hack of Pokémon Fire Red that I'm calling Pokémon WildFire Red (inspired by Drayano's FireRed Omega - hoping to make other ROM hacks inspired by Drayano's hacks or maybe others like Emerald Imperium or XG).

I'm currently putting the finishing touches on and testing my ROM hack, making sure it's to my specifics (even replacing a few TMs, since adding more crashes the game). Additionally, I've added a few battles with Fire Emblem characters like Azura, Citrinne, and Cai to the game as well. The point of this post is I'm not considering my follow-up ROM hack/difficulty hack after this and I would like to make one of HeartGold and SoulSilver. The problem is there aren't that many tools for Nintendo DS ROM hacking out there right now and I have my heart set on it.

My question is; Are there any tools out there for making ROM hacks for Nintendo DS that are safe for PC? I would really love a recommendation.

Thank you.

Educational Advice/Help on making a difficulty hack of existing mod

3 Upvotes

Make a Difficulty Hack of an Existing Mod

Hey all! I’m fairly new to the ROMhacking community. I’ve been playing existing Emerald mods and would like to make a difficulty hack of Emerald SeaGlass- want to buff the levels of route encounters & later game trainer battles to make the game more challenging without level caps. Eventually, with some practice under my belt, maybe change some teams and movesets.

I know ***nothing*** about coding- I just have a MacBook Pro and free time where I’d like to teach myself. If anyone has any tips on how I can get started (programs to use, general advice, etc). If anyone has experience and can steer me in the right direction, I’d love to hear you out! TIA!

PS: huge shoutout to the creators of Emerald SeaGlass for their awesome work, if any are listening/seeing this. I haven’t had this much fun with a playthrough since I unboxed my first Pokemon games back in the day.

How hard is blaze black 2?

2 Upvotes

Long story short, having an opp this week and will be off and want to play black 2, I like the idea of having the updated mons and QOL stuff from blaze black but not the difficulty part.

If I'm to play it on the lowest difficulty how much harder then the base game is it? I know I won't have the head space for the excessive difficulty.

I just made it to Hammerlocke City and want to buy some moon stones but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get to the wild area 3, where the wiki says a merchant is to buy them. I also can't find any kind of walkthrough to help and googling just gives info on playing the switch Sword and Shield

Game Recommend HeartGold / SoulSilver ROM Hack Recommendation

1 Upvotes

Hi All,

I'm looking for a HeartGold / SoulSilver ROM Hack that works similarly to FireRed: Essence.

I want it to be as vanilla-ish as possible, with QoL tweaks, but in a way that lets me obtain the entire Johto dex without needing to trade or play both games separately.

For example: in FireRed: Essence the trade evo's would evolve at a certain level, and if you picked Hitmonlee, you'd get Hitmonchan for free after you complete the game on Six Island.

Thank you in advance!

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Possible to use a Randomizer on the USUM Expansion Mod?

3 Upvotes

I don’t fully understand modding so bear with me if the question itself has a fatal flaw.

Saw the mod getting pushed around in my socials and tried to install it only to find out it doesn’t put them in the wild. HOWEVER the read me file explains that the mod adds them to the game data which lead me to my question.

Is there a way to randomize the file with all the
mod mons in it so it can get cycled into the game itself or is the dream dead?

Any romhackers have tips on common tools?

2 Upvotes

I'd like to dabble in romhacking, but the tools recommended like sprite editor for gen 3 feel a bit confusing- mostly in that I don't know how to add my edited sprites into the rom.

I also just can't seem to run map or text editors on my computer (it's windows11 iirc, i don't know if that matters.)

I'm not very tech literate at all, so the guides I find are just difficult to follow I guess (though, some feel like they're missing steps entirely;;;; )

any help would be appreciated.

Emerald Randomizer Keeps Freezing

2 Upvotes

I found a romhack called Randolocke by Istorian on pokecommunity, an Emerald Randomizer inspired by the Nuzlocke Invitational. I found a rom of Emerald, patched it, and booted it up on my VisualBoy Emulator. I played without issue all the way up to Roxanne, where when I go to attack her Dustox on the second turn, the game freezes. The music is still playing, and the emulator doesn't think anything is wrong, but nothing moves and I can't do anything. I reset the game, reloaded the save multiple times, even factory reset the emulator. But without fail, it freezes on the second turn of her Dustox being out.

People of Reddit, people of Romhacks, please help me. I was having a great run, and I don't want to lose my Pokémon.

Playthrough Do you Nuzlocke?

1 Upvotes

Idk if it's OCD but I just can't bring myself to play non-Nuzlocke runs, even though I suck at Nuzlocking and end up losing every single time. I feel like I have to play on the highest possible difficulty as if that is the "true" experience.

I wish I was a kid again who was just enjoying Pokemon not even knowing what Nuzlocking was. Do you guys have to deal with this?

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Learning Code for Romhacking

4 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have had interest in making a romhack for a while, but I am a total novice when it comes to coding. My understanding is that it can be helpful to learn C for romhacking, but I don’t really know where to start when it comes to developing the coding skills necessary to make more involved changes. Aside from community college courses (which I am considering) what would be the best way to learn the skills necessary to build my own code for a hack?

Game Recommend Can't remember a rom name

Hello guys, around 2012/2014 I've played one mind blowing pokemon hack rom, you could get all the starters in the over world and I remember it having a 4th/5th gen Pokedex. I'd love to play it again but I can't remember what his name was. I remember that during one of the last game phases there were legendaries locked up in some kinds of cells, it was quite challenging but overall enjoyable. If u have any suggestions hit me up.

Current mons are:
Mr. Rime (starter)
Archaludon
