Pokémon Sigma Ruby

[Favna]

Hello all,
  
Over the past two weeks I have been working on my romhack of Pokémon Omega Ruby titled Pokémon Sigma Ruby. I have chosen Sigma as this is like Omega and Alpha another letter in the Greek Alphabet as well as that it feels suiting for an improved Pokémon Ruby game.  
  
The most important change in Pokémon Sigma Ruby is that not just the Inverse Battle trainer battles you with the types inversed, no, ALL battles are now following the Inverse type effectiveness.

Download

Probably the most important section of the post right?
  
Click here to download
  
The download has a xdelta patch along with the program, readme instructions on how to apply it and a `bat` (batch) file for Windows users to do so for them. Please refer to the readme file for patching your game with the changes. Taken from the README:

1. Place a clean Omega Ruby .cia rom in the same folder as the downloaded files.
2. Rename the rom to omegaruby.cia
3. Run the patcher.bat

Notes

• This game cannot be installed alongside an already existing omega ruby as the romhack won't have a custom TitleID. Please remove any existing Omega Ruby first.
• If you're already playing a copy of Omega Ruby you will have to remove all updates from that (CTR-U-ECRA/P/E/J is the ProductID for DevMenu/BigBlueMenu) or the romhack will not work.
• The text has been edited for the English version only!
• Since this hack makes no changes to the save file structure you can inject or extract the save file perfectly normal

I initially intended for this to go up on Rom Editing Showcase, however posts of that subforum require mod approval which is not being granted on my posts.

Sorry about that. If it happens again, send me a PM and I'll get to it ASAP.

Good work on your ROM Hack!
