First of all, I'd like to thank you for your hard work on this patch and for making it for Emerald as I had hoped ♥
However, I'm having a slight problem. When trying to apply the UPS patch to my clean Emerald ROM with Tsukuyomi, I'm getting an error: "Failed! Input checksum is invalid". Anyone know why this is? I'm 100% certain it's a perfectly clean ROM.
Also, would it be possible for you to make it into an IPS patch that does not expand the ROM in the future, or is that an impossibility?
Hm, I'm not sure why it's doing that...I'll look into it.
For Emerald? It's technically possible, using a similar method that GoGo did for the HGSS Music Patch. But the ROM will end up expanded in any case. Emerald simply doesn't have as much free space as FireRed, making using a non-expanded ROM for such a large patch less feasible.
This is an amazing patch. :D
But, I take it that this isn't compatible with already-hacked ROMs?
May I ask the range of offsets that you've used on Ruby for this?
So far, I can see that you've used the offset A00000 and further, which I've already used. =/
I used the offsets A00000-B68FA8. So, yeah, if you've already used those offsets, I'm afraid you're out of luck.
At least for now. In theory, I can create a program that can allow one to apply this patch using dynamic offsets. Such a program would require at least 68FA8 free space in the rom to work. But it is possible. It's something I'll probably do at some point in order to make this more compatible with already-hacked ROMs. I have other priorities right now though.
