Bugs

Doesn't work on regular VBA, use VBA-M instead

Bugs that occur on mGBA (and probably on the actual GBA and the 3DS): Highlighting Protector in the bag menu will crash the game Torkoal's attacks will freeze the game

Roaming [email protected] bugs: Its HP and status resets between every battle It doesn't change location after fleeing It continues to roam after capture or defeat

Breeding mechanics are partially broken: New added Pokémon produce same species instead of their pre-evolved form (Leafeon produces another Leafeon, not an Eevee; bug may be exclusive to Eevee though) Some Pokémon straight up never hatch (for example, Chingling) Some Pokémon Eggs freeze the game when you try to take them from the Day-Care Man (for example Heracross, Pinsir) It is recommended to save before taking an egg and backup that save file until the egg hatches

It is recommended to save before taking an egg and backup that save file until the egg hatches Battle facilities saving bug: loading save files made during your Battle Tent or any of Battle Frontier facilities challenge erases all your Pokédex data and all items from Items and Key items pockets. Could also occur when loading saves made during trades, but it's not confirmed.

Be sure to use save states instead while challenging battle facilities. After your leave the facility, you can save your game manually and it will be fine

Be sure to use save states instead while challenging battle facilities. After your leave the facility, you can save your game manually and it will be fine When you switch out Mega Evolved Pokémon, it reverts back to its regular form

Glitched rotating doors in Fortree Gym. Can be fixed by entering any menu

Sometimes Pokémon can Mega Evolve on their own

"Opposing trainer sends out your Pokémon" text appear in battle sometimes

Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza stay Primal/Mega after capture, they revert to their regular forms after any battle

Link features between two Delta Emerald roms don't work (but seems like they work when connecting Delta Emerald to vanilla Emerald or any other game)

Numerous battle engine bugs (Ghost-type Pokémon immune to Fairy-type moves, missing move animations etc.)

Numerous minor graphical glitches

If you have a solution for any of this bugs - feel free to either VM or PM me. Thank you in advance.

Compatibility with Mega Blue :

Always backup your save files before using link features to prevent any loss of your data!

Credits

With the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in 2014 Hoenn Region received a complete overhaul with familiar, but improved and expanded storyline, new battle mechanics, gameplay improvements and more and more. Some people theorized that Delta Emerald will be released alongside Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but of course, it never happened. We've never received a full Hoenn experience in one package. Omega Ruby provided us an expanded look on Team Magma and Groudon, Alpha Sapphire did the same for Team Aqua and Kyogre, and neither of them had the Battle Frontier, which is an Emerald-only feature. Everything is just scattered between different games and we do not have all-in-one version.That's what I was aiming for when creating this hack. I wanted to bring everything that ORAS improved on into one, complete Hoenn game.New character designs and new dialogues from ORAS, updated movesets and abilities, Gen 4+ evolutions, Megas and many more!So let's have a closer look on new features!ZIP archive include Delta Emerald patch, ReadMe file, Pokémon and Items Location Guide and NUPS Patcher.Required ROM for patching is "1986 - Pokemon Emerald (U)(TrashMan).gba."Delta Emerald is compatible with my other hack, Pokémon Mega Blue for the sake of the ability to fill up the National Dex. That means all Pokémon in both hacks have exact same index numbers and can be moved between games freely. There is only one problem here - Delta Emerald has more moves than Mega Blue, so many move slots don't exist in the latter game. Here is a list of all Pokémon moves from Bulbapedia. Every move that comes in that list aftermust be removed from your Delta Emerald's Pokémon's movesets before performing a trade. Also, a lot of new moves can change after trading because of two different moves being assigned to the same index number between games. So I recommend you to use link features between Delta Emerald and Mega Blue only to fill up your Pokédex and not for battling.and- Emerald Battle Engine Upgrade, Emerald Hacked Engine, Pokémon and Item ExpansionThread - Gen 1-4 Pokémon Sprites and IconsThread - Sylveon and Mega Evolution Sprites and IconsThread - Alola Forms Sprites and Icons- High-quality Sound Mixer- Decapitalization Patch- Color Restoration Patch- this very thread you're looking at right now- Wally and Courtney Trainer Sprites- Brendan and May Front Sprites- Tabitha Trainer Sprite- Zinnia Trainer Sprite- Zinnia Battle Theme MIDI- Wally Battle Theme MIDI- Wally Encounter Theme, Zinnia Encounter Theme and Zinnia's Sorrow MIDIs
