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.


~Screenshots~

Spoiler: Icon and banner, Title Screen, Custom Brendan clothes, Custom May clothes, Bust May Mod


~List of features~

A full list of changes such as those made to Pokémon, moves and evolutions can be found in the .pdf file included in the download!


  • The game has a new icon and banner!
  • The game has a new title screen!
  • Many Pokémon have had their base stats slightly updated to make them more viable.
  • Difficult or impossible evolutions (i.e. trade evolutions) have been taken out
  • Some Pokémon have had their typing updated
  • There have been updates on move stats
  • Various Slateport City Market stores have had their items swapped
  • To improve the viability of the above various purchase prices have been swapped
  • Various signs have had their content changed. Try to find them all ;)!
  • Various gift Pokémon have been changed.
  • Various static Pokémon have been changed.

~Download~

Probably the most important section of the post right ;)!?

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


I'm sorry everyone, I only have the busty version for my re-upload :ph34r:





~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. Trust me when I say I really wanted this to be the case but using a rsf file with makerom continuesly resulted in black screens after the "Nintendo 3DS" animation. you can first back up the save with [JKSV](https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-jks-savemanager-homebrew-cia-save-manager.413143/) if you want to.
  • 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. As much as I want to incorperate the 1.4 update in the romhack this is not only very tedious but it is also dangerous because Nintendo can and will ban your Battle Spot and GTS if not online entirely access if they detect you are online with a hacked game (they announced this a while back and since I've actually seen various reports of it) (as opposed to "popular" belief that does not include pkhex'ed / powersaved mons)
  • 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

~Special Thanks~

~Changelogs~



Spoiler: Changelogs most people don't want to read

Version 1.3: - Updated various parts of the story text to reflect changes made in the game elsewhere such as type effectiveness references - Various Grass type Pokémon had water immunity abilities which is a bother as Water is super effective on Grass. These have been changed

- Maractus no longer has Water Absorb nor Storm Drain. They are replaced with Rough Skin and Grass Pelt respectively. - Lileep and Cradily no longer get Storm Drain. It is replaced with Stench. - Cacnea and Cacturne had Water Absorb removed, their set of 3 abilities is now Sand Veil, Rough Skin or Sand Stream (Hidden).?

- I have added various extra references by NPC's. To give hints on where to find them:

- A scientist in a building in Rustburo City. - A backpacker in Lilycove City. - A PokeManiac in the Lilycove PokeCenter. - An evil team couple on Battle Resort. - Various brown signs across the region.?

- Updated wild and static encounter tables to reflect other changes made throughout the game


Version 1.2: - Once again an update on the banner. Again thanks to Squee666! - Including an optional romfs build which includes a Busy May mod Battle model!

Version 1.1: - Updated icon, banner and title screen thanks to great work by @squee666 and him being cringed by my own work
