ROM Hack Pokémon Sacred Gold & Storm Silver

[PokemonSoulHunte]

I forgot to ask this but I want to play on the No$gba that is in the No$Zoomer file so do I encrypt the hack and does that cause any problems if I do?

 

[Takren7]

Drayano: Are you planning on making an "Important Trainer Roster" document?

 

[Shadowlurker]

downloaded this hack, playing it on my dstt properly without freezes, bugs, nothing bad, so, i am at the entrance of union cave in sacred gold, so, if i update to version 1.02, do i have to start all over again, or there is a way to keep my save data from the first version to the new one?
EDIT: i was playing with the very first release

Wait how did you get it to work on your DSTT? I couldn't on mine XD.

Also I didn't experience the Kimono Girl problem. So I guess I was lucky lol. I haven't seen any other real problems so far.

 

[Drayano]

There's definitely a Safari Zone problem so I'm going to have to update again.

Can someone get a gun please. I'll answer the other questions in a bit.

edit: Can I just ask, has anyone else gotten as far as the Safari Zone Gate, yet?

 

[PokemonSoulHunte]

What does the safari bug even do?

 

[Drayano]

Basically something is meant to happen in the Pokemon Center, but due to something I removed in the final version it's all broken and stuff. It's an easy fix, at least.

well, it may depend on the rom, since the one i used was a heart gold rom by xenophobia group and updated my dstt firmware with the very last release...

Is the old Game Corner (aka. the one in the Japanese game) in this?

 

[cainhovini]

Dray, are you going to make a Playthrough of the game? and even with the initial bugs I really like the efforts you put to make a great pokemon game. Game Freak should have you to work for them

 

[Drayano]

Nah, I never actually investigated into restoring the old Game Corner.

Thank you for that at least, but making everyone download a new patch three times in the same day is making me feel a bit on the silly side...

I'm glad you appreciate the difference, haha.

Okay, another version, this one is compulsory as you won't be able to progress without it. The flag fixer is still in Olivine for those of you who need it, but otherwise gameplay should hopefully be smooth now. (That said, I'm expecting another bug to appear within five minutes...)

Version 1.03

[Cease Tick]

Err, it appears I forgot to put anything about the move changes. :X IIRC the only differences are...
- B/W move upgrades
- Cut is 60 power Grass
- Rock Smash is 60 power Fighting and the effect rate has been cut to 30%
- Strength is now 60 power Rock (for balancing) and has a 10% chance to reduce opponent's attack

Okay, when you say B/W move upgrades do you mean the list from BB/VW or moves like giga drain/drain punch/icicle spear/bullet seed that had their power changed in vanilla B/W?

 

[Drayano]

The latter, so 50 power Tackle and that sort of stuff.

 

[triassic911]

^haha Dray. Don't hate me for saying this, but I knew this would happen. In BlazeBlack, I saw the updates you made so I knew this would start out with bugs. I am gonna finish my nuzlocke run of Platinum then come back to this.

But hey, you do very good work. BlazeBlack had to be the most fun I had in any pokemon handheld game. Like another member here said, you should work with Gamefreak for the game's storylines.

 

[Drayano]

I'm not offended at all, I was expecting the same thing honestly, if not more so since the scripting gives a higher capacity for bugs to occur. So, a fine choice on your part for not downloading immediately =P

But yeah, thanks :]. Could be interesting if I ever get to do it!

Since it is mandatory, does that mean we have to start over the game? I also have a question about a scenario. Lets say you are at a unfixed glitch in 1.00 and u patched it to 1.03 where the glitch was patched, does it appear in the game or do u need to restart to get it to work?

 

[Drayano]

You never need to restart the save, as long as your ROM and .sav (or equivalent) are named the same then it should work just fine.

If it's to do with a flag set earlier, it will still be in the game unfortunately. That's why I put the fixer in the Olivine Center, just to make sure nobody got stuck forever. I'm pretty sure all other bugs are fine, though; in the event anyone got to the Safari Zone Gate already then you can just talk to the rockets outside the zone itself to get the flag fix. I think it should all work out...

 

[.Darky]

This hack looks TOTALLY awesome. I'll wait for the final version to play it though. Thanks for you hard work, Drayano.

It's funny that bug shooting isn't as much fun as it sounds. It's most definitely not what's on the tin! You hear of shooting bugs and think it has to at least be better than having them running all over your code printouts and monitor's screen. Then you realize that it's not literally shooting and then it all goes downhill from there... (LOL, have to have a sense of humor, everyone)
