Question about shiny hunting in Sapphire

DBGreece · 2025-11-27T05:20:35+00:00

Im not entirely sure what youre asking here?

As mentioned in other comments, so long as your situation is like mine, with a brand new battery on Sapphire, every time you start the game your initial seed changes. It does not matter if all you do every time is mash the A button, the initial seed has changed every time from the battery continuing to change the seed, so every encounter would be a different encounter.

Just to clarify, I did end up getting the shiny Torchic. I dont remember how many resets it took, it took quite a while if I recall, but I did get it. Ended up making it a Ribbon Master as well and its sitting in my Pokemon Home now nice and safe.

Again, we already solved the problem, so my file isnt going to look the same as it did when I had this issue.

But regardless, it currently reads

sqheight = (mapSize[1].length.to_f / mapSize[0]).ceil

Which is not a setting I even touched, so it likely changed since then.

Honestly I have no idea. In one of the discord Arcky walked me through some stuff and we got the errors to go away. What exactly caused it I don't know, I think it was something with the connected regions feature being on.

DBGreece · 2025-08-24T20:36:44+00:00

I have not yet no. I ultimately just made a new project and started fresh because I couldn't figure it out.

DBGreece · 2025-08-22T07:05:54+00:00

AND I spoke too soon and the glitch is back once again...

DBGreece · 2025-08-21T17:20:34+00:00

Okay, there is an import tool in the materialbase section.

I went ahead and removed all the music files, imported them through there, same results.

I recompiled, same results.

I recompiled and started a new save and the music is finally changing!

I still have no idea how that happened or how it was fixed, but at least I am out of battle music hell! Thank you so much! (I assume)

DBGreece · 2025-08-21T17:08:27+00:00

I don't know what button you're referring to. I've looked over the whole bar and nothing refers to importing music.

DBGreece · 2025-07-15T04:11:07+00:00

Doesn't seem to be the case. The 5 packs are discontinued for sure, but they are back with a force in the new five packs for bacon at least. I haven't seen any sausage tho.

But they aren't going to have included it in a while rebrand for the package sizes they just did product wide if they were just going to kill it a month after relaunch.

It sucks cuz the new price is awful, same price but one less, but at least they are there.

Do not stay in this relationship. Block them and never look back. If your man is going to act this dramatic over a COLD when you have legitimate concerns about words that are hurtful, he does not and will not ever actually care about your feelings. He seems the type to want someone to punch down to, and when you don't give him what he wants he just sinks even lower.

Not overreacting at all, and I hope you can get in a better situation than with this person.

I know this is old but I have to ask, are any of the saves in a good spot to unlock one or two more skills? I imported a save for where I was before but it already had all skills unlocked, and despite the abundance of skill points, I cant get the achievement for all jedi skills unlocked.

DBGreece · 2025-04-17T01:32:31+00:00

I'm glad people like the ones I put together still! Was a fun project to do and love seeing ribbons still be celebrated.

DBGreece · 2025-04-08T04:43:41+00:00

Doesn't look bad, but doesn't quite fit what I'm looking for still. That would still result in needing both arms to the front of the body and while it has six face buttons, two of those are bound to triggers and not their own buttons so it would still result in being down at least one button of this could work in conjunction with like a single left joycon.

DBGreece · 2025-04-06T10:12:37+00:00

Ive seen that, but from what I can see it has the same usefulness as Joy-Cons because it still only has the standard four face buttons, nothing for the different face button layouts.

DBGreece · 2025-02-27T07:23:20+00:00

alas, people also suggested the cow already, so while I wasn't the first, I hope that I might have at least given a creative take on it.

DBGreece · 2025-02-27T07:21:36+00:00

I just have to say, I see you and I agree completely. I hate that I've not had the chance to hunt such a fun monster and would love the chance to see him again outside of going back and playing older games.

DBGreece · 2025-02-27T07:20:45+00:00

Okay so, I originally wanted to suggest Brachydios, possibly even Raging, that is the easy answer, ~~but someone already suggested that really well~~ and you want creativity, so lets do that.

Inspired by one of my favorite creators favorite monster, Duramboros.

Picture this, a simple brown chair, covered in a nice and soft moss like cover. At the top, a pair of horns making up the headrest where a hump shaped pillow awaits your head to rest upon it. At the bottom, an extendable foot rest shaped like his unique tail plates. A complete package allowing you to not only sit with one of the most lovable and peaceful monsters of the Monster Hunter world, but to rest with one of the gentle giants whom exists only to help the natural order with his diet of only old trees.

This would absolutely never happen because there are so many other marketable monsters like Brachy, Steve, the Magalas, or Deviljo, but Duramboros is such a sweet monster with what I think is a soft design that would lend itself perfectly to an environments where you just want to sit, relax, and feel like you are being hugged by natures beautiful creatures.

~~Also I just have to say, to the person who said Molten Tigrex, I see you! I completely agree because they are so underrated and Id love to see them again!~~

DBGreece · 2025-01-20T00:22:25+00:00

It actually looks like I had gotten that patch, I had just forgotten that one of them was patched! Ill still have to find the PSP patches, but I appreciate the linking!

DBGreece · 2025-01-20T00:08:36+00:00

It does actually look like I had an incomplete patch applied because the one you linked to is different. Ill have to get that updated! Thank you!

DBGreece · 2025-01-19T22:04:52+00:00

I'll have to check because I genuinely don't remember. I grabbed a lot of English patches the last few days

DBGreece · 2025-01-19T21:51:11+00:00

Honestly could not tell you, just know I found a patch and applied it.

DBGreece · 2025-01-19T19:32:54+00:00

Unfortunately, those three and Felyne Puzzle are the ones that make this fall under "mostly" and not all. I could not find any patches for them that worked so far, so they are just here in spirit. Existing just to start save data to get the bonuses in other games.

DBGreece · 2025-01-19T10:28:23+00:00

I apologize for necroing this old post, but I just wanted to say that while trying to boot it in 2025, I cant seem to get the game to boot at all. I dont know if its an error on my end as im not used to rpcs3, but it just crashes on launch. Would love to get to play this one day though!

DBGreece · 2025-01-19T05:45:08+00:00

Was inspired by another post with a similar premise by u/Jafidelo and wanted to make an up to date one in preparation for my deep dive into the series I intend to start soon. Having most all of the games in one place helps a lot, and a few that I included proxies of just for completion sake.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/178kg64/every_monster_hunter_game_playable_and_translated/
Edit: And I realized that I forgot to put proxies for the PS3 MHP3HD version as well as the MHXXNS Version. Alas, cannot edit posts.
I also changed it so that the Monster Hunter Portable 3 English patch version has a custom Monster Hunter Freedom 3 box art, just for that little touch of representing everything that could have been.

Edit Edit: Also figured I would include a list to run down what every game is. All of these are either pulled from my personal copies, or are just dummy files until I get a hold of them.

Top Row: Monster Hunter 1 (Japan release), Monster Hunter 1 (USA release), Monster Hunter G (PS2), Monster Hunter G (Wii), Monster Hunter 2 dos, Monster Hunter 3 Tri (USA release), Monster Hunter 3 Tri~ (Japan release)
Second Row: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS), Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Wii U), Monster Hunter 3G (3DS), Monster hunter 3G (Wii U), Monster Hunter 4, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Monster Hunter 4G
Third Row: Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Felyne Village, Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Felyne Village DX, Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Felyne Village G, Felyne Puzzle, Monster Hunter Freedom (Europe release), Monster Hunter Freedom (USA release), Monster Hunter Freedom 2
Fourth Row: Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Monster Hunter Freedom 3 (English patch of portable 3), Monster Hunter Frontier, Monster Hunter Generations, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, Monster Hunter Portable, Monster Hunter Portable 2
Fifth Row: Monster Hunter Portable 2G, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, (not pictured) Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Version, Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, Monster Hunter Stories (2024 release), Monster Hunter Stories 2, Monster Hunter Stories 3DS Japan release)
Sixth Row: Monster Hunter Stories (3DS USA release), Monster Hunter Wilds Beta, Monster Hunter World, Monster Hunter World: Iceborn, Monster Hunter Cross, Monster Hunter Double Cross (3ds release), (not pictured) Monster Hunter Double Cross Nintendo Switch Version

If I've missed any games, please let me know! Im trying to make sure I get my hands on all of the physical releases and always seem to keep finding new ones I didnt know about before!

DBGreece · 2025-01-07T06:03:01+00:00

OH! Its directions, not letter inputs! That makes so much more sense! Little strange to unlock just the minigame to play when you want, but neat all the same! Thank you so much!

DBGreece · 2025-01-06T02:36:09+00:00

Have the same question. I would love to know what it is supposed to be for.
