If you plan to edit these script files with a script editor, they might not be parsed correctly because they had to be specifically edited to work with the randomizer. However, if you specifically plan to make your hack compatible with the randomizer, I request that you include a simple credit in either the hack's information page or readme. This is expected, just randomize the ROM like normal.įinally, if you are a ROM hack creator and wish to use the edited elements in this hack for your own project, go ahead, no need to credit. The randomizer will warn about using a patched ROM. It is built on Dabomstew's original Pokemon randomizer, but has new features, bug fixes, and is currently supported.Īpply the patch to the ROM first, then use the patched ROM with the randomizer. Hit the apply patch button to create a new patched ROM.Īdditionally, if using the patch with the randomizer, I recommend using the ZX fork of the randomizer. Then use the website to select the base ROM and the patch. This patch can be applied to a ROM with this website or any BPS patching utility of preference. Patch download (USA and Europe compatible):

AdAstra & Nømura: DSPRE Rom editor - for text editing and a reference for script editing.

Please let me know if you find a bug or a crash using this patch!

This hack has been tested fairly thoroughly, but something could always go wrong. This hack is designed to be compatible with the randomizer, including the 'Give National Dex at Start' setting. However, the mom cutscenes are not shortened, because as per rule #9 of Ironmon: 'You have to talk to MOM when you start your journey, otherwise that's just rude.' If you wish to skip the introductory Oak cutscene, I recommend saving sometime after it and loading that save when restarting the game. The cutscenes shortened include almost every required one up through the catching tutorial. This hack was originally designed for a streamer of the 'Ironmon' self-imposed challenge because the challenge incurs many resets. This is a very minor hack that shortens and removes cutscenes in the first few minutes of the game.
