Lufia - The Ruins of Lore<br />
Lufia - The Legend Return<br />
Dragon Warrior Monsters <br />
Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey<br />
Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Tara's Adventure<br />
<br />
Are some games I've been playing and trying to get the Link setup has been a damned nightmare. I remember YEARS ago, yea with pokemon, an emulator had a visual indicator like the old Link Cable, to show the two windows were connected. It was pleasent.<br />
<br />
However right now all I have is guess work and 10,000 god damned guides on how to setup an emulator, but no one can make a simple guide showing how to link things together that ISNT fucking pokemon.<br />
<br />
Can someone actually think for once and stop beating off to copy-paste guides and pokemon and help me get linking working for some ACTUAL games.<br />
<br />
Yeah I'm frustrated, get over it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[hello,<br />
<br />
I had been playing through FireRed on mGBA and have always just saved through the actual game menu. I had no idea about .sav files until just now.<br />
<br />
I saved the game the last time I played it, but now when I open the game, it brings me to a new save file. I don't know if my previous save got deleted or if I just can't find it.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure that my file was the one attatched in the photo below, but it gives me an error message.<br />
<br />
I'm completely a beginner when it comes to ROMs so any help would be appreciated<br /><!-- start: postbit_attachments_attachment -->

			<description><![CDATA[I've modified existing codes for Pokemon Yellow &amp; Crystal to work with 2 romhacks: Yellow Legacy &amp; Crystal Legacy.<br />
<br />
These codes allow you to rebattle most trainers by talking to them. But while the code for Yellow Legacy works with mGBA-0.10.5-win64, the code for Crystal Legacy does not. <br />
<br />
Maybe the issue is that they are both Game Genie codes where the one for Yellow Legacy is just one line: AF1-5BC-7F4<br />
<br />
While the code for Crystal Legacy is multiple lines: <br />
000-0BF<br />
007-131-E62<br />
087-141-C4E<br />
<br />
And yes, these both work. I've confirmed this by getting them to work with another emulator (bgb)<br />
<br />
So, am I making a mistake in how I'm adding the second code? Seems rather straightforward. <br />
<br />
I've added the cheat file as an attachment.<br />
<br />
As for the romhack itself, obviously I can't provide a link for the patched rom, so here's where you can get the patches: <a href="https://github.com/cRz-Shadows/Pokemon_Crystal_Legacy/releases/tag/V1.3.1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://github.com/cRz-Shadows/Pokemon_C...tag/V1.3.1</a><br /><!-- start: postbit_attachments_attachment -->

			<description><![CDATA[If you want to remap the buttons on your 3DS version of the app, you can use the following key to edit the config.ini file.<br />
I edited my button layout for playing Pokemon Sapphire to more align with the later generations (start is X and select is Y) Wanted to put this here because I couldn't find this on the website FAQ.<br />
<br />
[number]        [3DS button]<br />
0             A<br />
1             B<br />
2             Start<br />
3             Select<br />
4             Right L-pad<br />
5             Left L-pad<br />

9             L<br />
10            X<br />
11            Y<br />
<br />
I attached an example config.ini file for those who want to use X and Y for start and select. If you are going to download this into your file you MUST REMOVE the ".txt" from the file name.

Pokecenter box 1 was full, switched to box 2 and deposited Dugtrio so I have space to get Evee. After getting Evee, I went back to deposit it and get my Dugtrio, but under withdraw, it only showed Cancel. However, if you scroll down, it will have 2 options that cannot be seen. Which is possibly the Dugtrio and Evee. When I select either one, it will give me a gray screen and game freezes]]></description>
