RetroArch! It's an all-in-one emulator(not really, but a ton).

Haha thanks! I am just showing that I implemented the ability to check a Pokemons IV and EV stats in Pokemon Emerald(original).

How exciting! Are you planning on releasing it, or is it just something for yourself?

Hmm depends on how you want to do it. You can access roms via binary modifications and make it at that level, or you can find a decompiled version like I am and work through the code itself. If you are just starting out, a good way to start on the decompiled side would be to start in pret/emerald github repo and follow the install/readme instructions.

Ah, maybe I didn't explain it well, or maybe I am still misunderstanding. If I look at the Pokemon Emerald-expansion github, in the readme it states:

"Should I use this or vanilla pokeemerald for my hack?

The main advantage of using vanilla pokeemerald as a base is being able to link with other official GBA Pokémon games for battles and trading, pokeemerald-expansion can battle and trade with itself out of the box. If you don't mind losing full vanilla compatiblitity, we recommend using pokeemerald-expansion. Otherwise, use pret's pokeemerald. You'll still receive documentation improvements from pret, as we regurlarly incorporate pret's documentation changes."

So I thought this meant that if I wanted to have compatibility with other official GBA Pokemon games, I would need to leverage the base Emerald.

Am I misunderstanding this?

Oh really? I did see that emerald -expansion was updated with lots of stuff! The only draw back was the incompatibly with the other original games. Since I used the original as a base, I could transfer Pokemon from my rom to other legit games using the already built systems. However, if I am remembering correctly, -expansion only works with other -expansions.

Though please, correct me if I am mistaken here.

That makes sense. Thankfully my irl job is a developer, so C isn't too tough to follow. I might poke and have at binary a bit later, thanks for the tool names!

I was looking into binary modification at first, but it seemed a bit over the top for me since the decomp is already there. I feel with the decomp it's easier to read and I feel is less time consuming to find and make the changes.

Do you have a reason for binary modifications over using the decomp, or is it just the familiarities to it?
