Well I'd just like to say I had the same issue as the past 10 people who are complaining about the white screen.

But I read a couple of posts and followed directions, I only had to venture back one page. I also changed to Real World Clock and Save Type -> Flash 128K and redownloaded the Ruby ROM following the advice for googling it. And voila, my problem was solved having done both.

Got the hack working, can't wait to try it out. Was referred by a member on Vocaloid Otaku forums~

Awesome hack Wesley, 'grats on the awards as well.

I found a pokeball with an elekid in the place that you walk in by the side of the lab. Is that an easter egg?

About time, I'd say...

EDIT: Ah. It's down. Still.

I noticed as well. I could just put together the same ZIP or RAR he made for the portuguese version. I'll patch the English version and just provide the VB Advance and whatever else he provided in his other version. He used different file sharing sites, one of them is apparently not stuck with a "inactive link for 30 days and we delete file" rule.

I'm thinking if this guy wanted a mirror he would've made it by now though..

How do I play the game? Someone PM me with EXACTLY what to do please :)

The GFX thing happened to me, I enabled Vsync and it fixed it. Though the audio can be choppy at times, but it's doing a lot better with Vsync on. It doesn't bother me much.

As for the .ips problem you need to use Lunar IPS, a program you use to patch the original Pokemon Ruby Rom (and roms in general). There's a tutorial here somewhere for IPS files I'm sure of it, use the search bar on the forum to your advantage.

Is it just me having this problem or is everyone?

Okay so I have the rod, I go fishing and assigned it to a button. I go to fish and press A when I get a bite but POOF the Pokemon escaped! So what the heck am I doing wrong, I even undid the assigned button and did it from the menu and STILL nothing. I tried looking for guides, and watching videos but found nothing.

I want that Seadra for the carvanha! :(

Can someone please help me with what to do with the glitchy trainer? I can't go any further in the game because of it.

Just an update, i've tried several differen't things and still havng the same issue. I'll go up to something using my super rod, the thingwill pop up "Oh you got a bite (etc.)", click the "A" button to catch it!!! "The fish got away". -.-; This is getting a bit tedious, sense I want my flippin Seadra before i move on. Would be nice to have a decent water/dragon type. Any known fixes to this?

I don't know if this question has already been asked, but is it possible to have one of your pokemon staying out of its pokeball and following you all the time, just like the gym leaders and all the other in-game people ? Cause I think it would be awesome to have my Charizard following me all over the place :p

Could anyone tell me how to get out of the Seanport city gym (I think it's Seanport, anyway the water-type gym). I've just beaten Lucas but now the bridges have disappeared and I can't get out... I keep pressing the buttons but nothing happens. I have no escape rope... I'm trapped :(
