Is it possible to add the "Level release" for secret bases earlier on in the game? Around the time you hit the level 90-100ish trainer curve? It's very possible to end up very underleveled and have to grind just to fix your team. Getting this would make it alot easier to catch up.

So I've been trying to get this work all day, everything has gone smoothly and I've read and done the tutorial and the video twice now. I get the banner for Star Sapphire in the homebrew menu but I cant get the game to load, I set Region to the -- same with Language, for Romfs, it says the Path is (INVALID), I checked the folder and the file is in there and I correctly deleted the hex number things. If I change the name of the code and romf to "0011C500", the (INVALID) disappears but still after clicking the ok, I get a black screen that doesn't go away. Any help please?

And yes it is 1.75 GBs

Well, I beat the first round of E4. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Let's see how round two goes.

Game hangs after you beat the E4, and Brendan, but on restart continues as normal. No save corruption.

I have one complaint so far. The hordebattle with the 5 magma's during Delta Episode is probably the most unfair thing I've encountered so far. The only thing that you can win with is priority moves, otherwise you're fighting a 60% flinch chance + Paralysis + 2x Sand Attack + Swagger + possibly Attract + bullet seed + focus sash on Klefki to never be able to attack. Because of how it works, it seems a 300+ speed pokemon will not even get first turn on it.

Beat round 2 today. Very enjoyable hack, was a very nice curve. Primal Groudon is way too OP though. Made E4 easy both times around. I transfered in perfect pokemon though for round 2, expecting it to not be a pushover to Groudon. Seems I would have been fine just rolling with the one you get in the game anyway.

The game freezes everytime after few minutes. Tried to delete game updates and my save, but I get a black screen after selected the language. :(

EDIT: It was because of my memory card.

I started Rutile Ruby last night, and am trying a little challenge to add on to this. I don't go to the Pokemon Center, that means every time I lose, I'm transported back to my mom's house. Let's see how long that'll last until I get annoyed.

Incredibly fun hack, although I'm trying to Nuzlocke it despite your warnings. Have wiped/forced to erase save twice on the first gym, somehow I keep getting a full team of bug/flying/fire pokémon. Going to start for a third time now, but this time I'll probably do some grinding or EV training as well.

Amazing job, I have to say.

Does anyone happen to have a guide to injecting this into an update? Another site has Omega Ruby 1.3 and Rutile Ruby 1.1 in a package, and if I can get RR 1.2 into a 1.4 update, I'd be able to both play online and play single player.

HANS really doesn't like my Emunand setup.\

edit: whoops, found one. I'll give it a shot and report back if it does/doesn't work.

Maybe someone knows here.
I found the surfing Lapras 3D model in ORAS's romfs. Is there a way to use it when you're surfing with Lapras like XY ?

Well, I made some progress. I can pack roms back together using the following process:

Put update CIA in /d9game on the SD card
Use a deep CIA extraction in decrypt9 on it

copy the resulting CIA to the PC, use these commands with CTRtool:
ctrtool --contents=contents name.cia
ctrtool -p --exefs=exefs.bin contents.0000.00000000
ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin
ctrtool -p --romfs=romfs.bin contents.0000.00000000

and i believe ones for logo and exheader i didn't write down

and then running it through pokemon patch rebuilder... but that gets me nothing. The game still just thinks it's unupdated.

    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.
