How can i modify a rom hack's shiny rates?

[CowsRPog]

I'm using the pokemon black full unova dex rom hack and am trying to modify the shiny rates. All the things i find online say that i need to go to a hex editor (im using crystaltile 2) and change the bit in 00018DF0 that has 08 to FF. However, when i bring it up, i get this row:

What should i do to increase the odds?

Try reading this. I’ve tried breaking stuff down.

When i try to open the nds file system, it's blank. Is there somehting i have to do first?

As in the option is greyed out

Load a valid NDS file first?

No this is happening after ive loaded the rom into it. Is i happening because its a rom hack and not the original game? because it is a .nds file

maybe it's the ROM hack interfering with stuff. Try perform this hack to the base ROM, then patch it with the ROM hack, then launch the game and see if it works.

All of the steps work, but when i try and patch the file it gives me an error saying the source file is incorrect, is there something to stop this?

This is an alternative I’ve been meaning to try (so that I can test and verify and modify the tutorial) but haven’t gotten around to it. Try it for the already patched file

How do i open the rom in the project? I added the rom in the startup menu but i dont know how to get the rom so i can edit it.
