Pokémon Crystal is still broken. Sorry. There is not really much I can do about it.
Great job Sterophonick! Really appreciate the time and effort put into this.
One question - is it possible to add name scrolling for games saved in NORFlash?
Also - I noticed (using the dark theme) that whilst moving through files in NORFlash Browser the red highlighting "spills" over the white window border to the right. This does not happen in the SD-Card Browser and its blue highlighting and is not visible when switching to the NORFlash Browser tab - only once you start moving through the files.

I never thought of having the name scroll in NORFlash, I'll look into what happens when a file is written.
I will also look into the color spilling. Thanks.
Although it's not verified and maybe not even true but I like to believe that running games from NORFlash improves battery life.

What makes you say that? Just curious.
I really like your theme Sterophonick! Is there a way I can include the patches from Veikkos newest v5 kernel "deactivate color on GB games and deactivate SGB border by default, Start emulated games directly without empty game menu" ? This speeds up booting GB/GBC games and give them a more uniform look.

Fun fact: I've been working on that! It will be in the next release!

I need help.
I've been trying to remove the need to patch PocketNES, which will allow me to change the emulator (think like veikkos' Goomba Color modification from a few days ago).
Sometimes the emulator stops working, will show a black screen, and the games won't boot up anymore. I think I *may* have fixed it, but I can't be too sure. I would like it if people test their NES games on this dev build so I can make sure I did fix it.
Please tell me if you see anything that goes wrong.

Update 2.92:
- Added the changes to Goomba Color that veikkos added to his kernel.
- Various plugin changes (.wav music is actually playable)
- Some graphical fixes
- Removed the need for PocketNES to be patched.
A note about .wav music:
- For it to play at all, it needs to be in GSM 6.10 format, and can't have a sample rate higher than 22050 Hz. These changes can easily be made with programs such as Audacity.

I appreciate you so much for these updates man. I've been using it since your first release.
small bug or error, if you have a game installed to nor, on the light theme you have a white background, with black text that has a dark red boarder, not exactly an issue since you should know what games installed, but it just look bad

i added a feature that allows you to hold L as the cart starts up and it will automatically launch the first ROM in NOR, because people asked me for it

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
