Apologies if it’s already been addressed but how does one make it so that you can play it on the delta emulator. I’m completely new to any of this so I have no clue

Hey, so when I was doing Spacial Rift to try and get the exclusive items there, I got to the end and the boss battle with Palkia triggered again, even though I already had it recruited. When I defeated it, it asked to join my team again and it said I'd unlocked Upper Spacial Rift, even though I'd already had that unlocked too. I think the reason this happened is that I had the Palkia I'd recruited before in Origin form, so the game must've thought I never got the regular Palkia. I'm assuming this isn't supposed to happen so I wanted to let you know in case you would want to try and fix it in the future (I haven't tested it but I imagine Dialga could have a similar issue, the second Dialga I have in this screenshot is Primal Dialga)

I am aware of this and hope to fix it for 1.2!

Hey uh i just made it to the post game of Explorers of Fortune and now i'm about to meet my precious child manaphy soon but... what happend to the guild?

Don't tell me sableye is at fault here

(Also by the way i also noticed a glitch in clodsire's side animation where half of its lower body is missing in one frame so could you fix that too?)

Had to mention something else and its about certain pokemon's glitched sprites

Hey, been enjoying the hack greatly thus far. Been looking for a sort of "vanilla+" expansion to Sky since I wanted to scratch that itch to start a new save but with new 'mons, and this hack has been exceeding my expectations there. I did make an account since I wanted to report a couple oddities I found, though. Apologies if any of these are already known issues.

- One of Archen's dialogue lines wraps/line breaks incorrectly. Wrapping it in a spoiler, since it seems to be related to one of the new unlockable/hidden additions.

Spoiler

Namely, Archen's dialogue about the "contradictory realm" at the "bottom of the endless abyss", after rescuing Scizor from Crevice Cave.

- Some 'mon sprites tend to have the bottom segments cut off during some animation frames. Shiny Rhyperior and I think Type: Null were the first examples I noticed, though there are likely others as well.
- Shimmer Hill seems to still be fussy. I had just completed the dungeon, and upon using the Warp Zone on B18F, instead of leaving the dungeon the screen just went to black and I was softlocked. I had a job request active, namely the escort mission that unlocked the location (which in my case involved traveling with a Shellder). Combing through the thread it seems that the dungeon's shiny is a known oddity, but I had recruited it (and sent it back) without issues prior to reaching the last floor.
- When going to Aegis Cave for the first time with Team Charm, the first floor of Ice Aegis Cave didn't have any BGM, especially odd given that the room right beforehand (the one with the altar you have to bring the Unown Stones to) was playing the same BGM.

For context, I'd been playing on an N3DSXL through TWLMenu. Unsure if that makes any difference but is likely still worth mentioning just in case.

Also, I was wondering about exclusive items for new 'mons, and found you had mentioned this -

there are not, and there will not be due to technical constraints. 

- which is perfectly understandable, but for my own curiosity as someone who's never made a PMD hack myself what are said limitations?

Forgot to mention the Aegis Cave bug oops lol

[Reiki]

Hello, really enjoying the Rom! Gotta small question is Gigaton Hammer a level up move for Tinkaton or is it just not in the game yet?

[papapdol]

there's a bug in shimmer hill where the whole game just turns black on the third floor

nvm shimmer hill is just bugged, every floor just freezes the game

sorry to bother but i happened to see this on skytemple and got curious about the details as i was originally planning to play explorers of skies by staro but that is no longer being supported and has way fewer new pokemon i would have liked to see added. can I ask if there is a detailed changelog compared to the origional and what the story is on the ver1.2 i keep seeing here. thanks for making such an awesome rom

[ParzivalMuze]

Is this available for iOS and if so how

I'm a total novice at skytemple, but im currently trying to add in a couple of new exclusive items and the limitation would bethat there just inst enough space. it takes up a massive amount of space to add in items and theres only room for about 20 i think? which wouldnt cover all of the new pokemon in this mod

Hi, I couldn't find if this was addressed but Snivy's idle sprite during dialogue uses its movement sprite rather than its idle sprite like other characters. If this is intentional then ignore this post!

Very fun ROM Hack! 

The only question I have is how to evolve Amaura? I reached the part of the game where you can evolve your starters, but despite meeting the level requirement I can't seem to evolve Amaura. Am I missing an item or something?

Lunar Ribbon, like every other Pokemon that only evolves at night in mainline.

I finally ended up getting it to work, it took 2 hours of research but found an online patcher that works for iPhone and am now playing it on delta, the other patchers wouldn’t work cause the rom is bigger than 64 mb but xdelta-wasm works and is online. I can’t wait to play the whole game with this patch!

Hey, so I’m in the same boat and have been trying to use the same online patcher you’re using but keep getting the “not a VCDIFF input (code-17712)” when trying to patch. 

Is there any steps you’re taking that helped get around this issue? A specific ROM of PMD EOS you had to use? Any insight to the steps that allowed you to patch via iOS would be greatly appreciated.

download and use xdeltaUI instead.  XP

I have loved this hack a lot and right now I am legendary hunting. Is there anyway to know where we can get all the new legendaries that are normally not in the game? I know where the normal ones are, but would like to hunt the new ones as well. Is there like a list or is at random in specific dungeons?

I plan to have a list of locations in the readme next update, but for now...

One more question! What item do I use to make my Mewtwo Mega Evolve to Y form?

uhhhhh I believe it's IQ-based?  I'm working on implementing an actual, non-evolution form change mechanic next update though

I enjoyed playing explorers of Fortune. Does anyone know where you can find rufflet. I've gotten way past the post game final boss and unlocked marine resort. I have no clue where to start searching for recruiting rufflet.

Recently found this hack and am interested in playing it but I see that you're working on a new update. It seems like you're making a lot of changes/fixes and was wondering if it would be better to wait for the next version or is it okay to play now as there won't be any major changes?

hmm...I'd personally suggest holding off!  in addition to a sizeable amount of content, I'm hoping to fix a bunch of bugs and make a couple sidequests a lot more intuitive in this update, so it'd probably be worth it to hold off for a better experience XP
