This is going to be a thread for information on general Rom hacking, guides on hacking, and tools for hacking. If you would like help with anything or would like anything added please post it bellow. If I am missing something please post it bellow.
Current mods of this forum, if I ever go inactive any someone wants something added feel free to edit this thread. Just make sure the users has correct info. Please don't post in my other tutorials. Post all of your questions here in this thread. This is to keep track of all of the questions so I can answer them easier. Table of contents (press Control F on your computer then type whats in brackets to jump to a section) 1. Rom hacking FAQ's A. What is Rom Hacking?[1A] B. How do you hack a Rom? [1B] C. Where do you find roms? [1C] D. Is this legal? [1D] E. I finished my hack. What do I do? [1E] F. Tips [1F] 2. Rom Hacking Guides [2RHG] Coming Soon! 3. Tools for Hacking [3TFH] Coming Soon! 4. Pokemon Rom Hacking [4PRH] A. Mapping [4A] B. Graphics [4B] C. Music [4C] D. scr E. Toolbox [4T] 1A What is Rom Hacking? [1A] Rom hacking is when you change, edit, or modify a game Rom in any way. This includes changing the graphics, music, or events in the game. 1B How do you Hack a Rom? [1B] I've gotten asked this a lot of times. It's pretty self explanatory. You'll need to download a Rom of the game you want to download, an emulator to play the game, and download the tools you'll need to hack the Rom. There isn't anything else to it. The only hard part of Rom hacking is finding the right hacking tools and learning how to use them. If you can't figure out how to get roms or how to use emulators you should either get help or quit right now. If you can't do this you most likely wont be able to hack a Rom. 1C Where do you find roms? [1C] You can either find roms on www.get-your-rom.com or you can use Google to find the roms. You will need to get the correct Rom if you want to hack a certain game. Be sure to get a "perfect" copy of the game and preferably the English version. You'll need the North America version so everyone on vizzed will understand it. (it will be in English) If you want to hack a Rom from another region you'll have to look a little more. Remember most users of vizzed wont play it because they wont understand it. 1D. Is this legal? [1D] Rom hacking is in the gray area. Emulators and Hacking tools are completely legal, but roms aren't. It is only legal too download roms if you will 1E. I finished my hack. What do I do? [1E] There are plenty of things to do. You should upload it to a file sharing site, ask tRIUNE, or the current rgr staff manager, to add it to the rgr, and share it with the rest of the world! To upload your hack must first turn it into an ips patch. An ips patch is a legal copy of the hack. As stated above, it's illegal for you to distribute the roms and it's illegal to keep the Rom on your computer unless you follow one of the requirements. It keeps the data of the changes you made to the Rom, but it isn't the actual Rom. This way you can keep the data and not the Rom! You can turn the game into an ips patch by using a program called Lunar IPS. http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/ Remember, you might not completely understand this if you don't have the program open. To turn a Rom into an ips patch you'll need Lunar IPS, an UNMODIFIED copy of the game, and your hack. First you open up Lunar IPS and you should get something like this: To create an IPS patch click on create ips patch. Then So basically if you create an ips patch you are creating a file that stores every single change that you made to the game. If you apply an ips patch you are turning a clean copy of the game into the hacked version you made before. Second you should add the patch to a file sharing site. sendspace.com is nice. Be sure to put the download link in a safe spot! Third you should add your hack to other websites so others can enjoy and comment on it. Just Google Rom hacking forums and see if you can add your hack there. If you want to keep the games exclusive to vizzed then don't worry about this. 1F Tips [1F] - Back up your ips patch. The worst thing to ever happen is losing all of your work. You can avoid this by backing up your Rom to a flash drive or by uploading it to a file sharing site. Don't risk losing weeks of work by being lazy. - Test out your hack! You should always go through your hack to make sure there aren't any glitches. You don't want to make a hack with lots of glitches. Then people will hate it and rate it low. If you don't want to test it out yourself you can always hire some beta testers. You can offer Viz or something else as a reward. It will be worth it in the end. - Stay organised. If you organize your programs, roms, and patches then it will be easier to start hacking and to find what you need. - Form a hacking team. Hacking is very time consuming to do by yourself. Unless you are an expert on hacking I suggest getting some help. You can always make a thread for this. - If anyone else has some tips feel free to post it bellow or pm me about it. 2.

(Direct link) Advance Map 1.92 A tile editor by HackMew that works on all gba Pokemon games. I like to use this version for scr Advance map 1.95 A tile editor by HackMew. This works on all gba games. I like to use this version for mapping and changing wild pokemon. DO NOT use this for scr Advance Pallet Editor A pallet editor by HackMew. Works on every gba rom. Advance Series A handy download.

This will edit the attacks of pokemon. For an explanation of what each value does go here. Advance Text This program changes all of the text in your game. It's very helpful for changing the intro. I wouldn't suggest using this as your primary text editor because it is very buggy and can mess up your rom. Always back up your rom if you plan on using this. This program is not malicious even thought your antivirus might say it is. Now the ini files (ini files are like settings for the program) aren't complete so they can't edit everything in the game. There aren't any complete ini files unless someone made one and didn't share it with anyone. You can edit the ini files so they will edit what you want. It's just time consuming to do a whole lot and that's why nobody made any complete ones yet. To do this press the search button. Then type in the text you want to edit. Then press search. Now the text should appear on the right side. Click write to ini, name i, then press add to ini. Now the ini will be Advance Trainer Yes another tool by HackMew.

Free Space Finder A program by HackMew *gasp* which finds free space in your rom. This is very useful when editing graphics, trainers, or even scr GIMP An image manipulation tool that is comparable to Photoshop. Best of all it's free! Irfan View This tool lets you edit images. It's useful when editing sprites and title screens. Item Image Editor This program locates the offsets of the item images and the item pallets.

You'll need it when changing the title screens of Pokemon games. Overworld Editor A very handy program by HackMew. This lets you change the over world sprites. PET Trainer Editor This isn't as good as Advance Trainer, but if advance trainer doesn't work for you then this is your alternative. PKSV My preferred scr PokeCommunity This isn't a download it's a website. It's full of tutorials, tools, and they have a lot of users who are willing to help you with your hack. If no one on vizzed can help you you should go there. If you do sign up be sure to follow their rules! Pokedex Order Editor This changes the order of the pokedex. I tried this on Leaf Green, but it only seems to work on Fire Red. Rom Header Editor Advance A program by HackMew that lets you edit the header of the rom. This tool isn't necessary, but it is fun knowing that you can change some of these things. Sappy A useful tool for editing music in gba games. You will need ".S" files to Sappy 1.7 This is the Sappy program that works. The one above includes midi2gba. Tat's the only reason you need it. Shinyzer A program by HackMew.

earthwarrior : I have a question about which ROM to download. This is from get my rom.com. It is of Pokémon emerald. I can't post the pic so could you look at it? I need to know which one to download. And, second, I don't want to get into legal issues, so can I download the ROM onto a flashdrive, then make it into an IPS Patch and delete the game? Or does the game just turn into the IPS patch so I won't have to delete anything? earthwarrior : I have a question about which ROM to download. This is from get my rom.com. It is of Pokémon emerald.

Barathemos : If get your rom is too confusing just use cool rom. Do you own a real Pokemon fire red? It won't be illegal if you do. You need to hack the rom then turn it into a patch.

I tried using unLZ-GBA to edit the in battle sprites of trainers. I used this tutorial like you gave meurl]http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=259614[/url] But I can't get it to index correctly. Do you know if it works on Windows 7? And if it does, do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong? I've done it plenty of times. |

In the graphics section when you explain how to edit the screen title logo im confused. When you say " If you are using photoshop click save BG, and save it as a .act file. If you are using GIMP you have to keep gimp and VBA open at the same time." What does that mean for the GIMP? how do i get the file onto GIMP? Do i save it the same way as for photoshop or what? I'm confused about everything after that as well. |

jaws123 : In GIMP you have to change every single color to the colors in VBA. Yes you have to change 256 colors. There isn't a way to simply insert a new color table. That's why I said you should use a trial of photoshop. Keep VBA and GIMP open side by side then change the color table in gimp to the colors in VBA. You have to try it yourself to fully understand.

Umm, I'm probably gonna feel pretty stupid for asking this, but for some reason, when I downloaded VBA and Pokemon Emerald and tried playing it, all I get is a white screen. It says things like Battery Loaded, and when I reset it it says reset, but nothing like the game ever shows up. Why is that? |
