[Fire Red] [HOTFIX - v1.1.6 - 13/10/24] Pokemon RE:Call - Fixing BlackScreen

[sylinuser]

Hello everybody. I'm creator of Pokemon RED EVERYWHERE and RE:Verse.
This is my first post on Whack a Hack.
I'm sorry for my English is bad, and I cannot speak Spanish. But I really loved WhackaHack community, especially for its resources and tutorial.

This is my third project, still the same as before, using Fire Red as story based.
Thanks to Haven (HexManiac Advance), I can make this romhack using HUBOL as based, which is using CFRU as its engine and DPE for newer Pokemon.
This romhack called Pokemono RE:Call , finally in stable stage, you can clear the game with some interesting post game.

Intro:

The goal with this hack is to utilize CFRU engine with help of HUBOL that makes newbie in romhacking can create rom near Radical Red or Unbound. This isn't meant to be some kind of kaizo level nuzlocke hack but rather something that's tough but fun and should be perfectly doable without having to resort to a full on google doc or something. Difficulty-wise I'd like to compare this to something like Radical Red or Emerald Kaizo.

Story :

After becoming King of The Pirate Pokemon Trainer, you come back to Knot Island to meet your old friend, Bill. As a good friend, you help Bill with his mission, and encounter many problems with evil team, TEAM ROCKET. Their boss, Giovanni has hidden intentions with Pokemon, especially unique Pokemon, PARADOX POKEMON, that has energy about the past and future.

Progress :

Story:
- Sevii : 80% (Main story has 12+ hours of gameplay)
- Kanto: 80% (Post game, keeping FRLG story)
- Hoenn : 20% (Post game, progress still maps for now, no event yet)
Sprite: 80% (Tryng adding costume feature)
Maps: 80% (progress same as story, Sevii, Kanto, Hoenn)
Scripts: 80% (similar with FR)

Feature :

As of writing, the game is based on HUBOL (CFRU+DPE). The game uses mostly Pokémon from Gen 1-8, although some Gen 9 Pokémon may have slipped through the cracks. Right now the plan is to have the regional dex sit at around 283 with National dex almost 1000 Pokémon with many variations. As the game is still in beta, not all Pokémon obtainable in this game (for now).

End Words

Part of the reason I'm making a public release is to get more testers for the project. I'm the sole dev on this project. However, recently their enthusiasm has really been lacking so I was hoping to get some extra feedback from here.
I think that should cover most of what I wanted to say. Do post in this thread (or better join my server) and let me know if you come across any bugs or anything.
