RPG Maker or Advance Map - PHO

iPriime · 5th March 2014, 02:10 AM

I am following two Youtubers who opened my eyes to the ability to create a pokemon hack but unfortunately, I can not find an answer to this question anywhere else:

Which game program is recommended: RPG Maker XP or Advance Map?

I am not looking necessarily for the easier one (it could help) but rather the one that will help me create a complete game (open world, rather long).

Any thoughts?

Well, if you want to hack a rom, then Advance Map. If you want to make your own game from scratch (or using the Pokemon Essentials, I would assume) then you would go with RMXP. RMXP is not a hacking tool, it is a completely separate stand-alone game maker.

Just so you know, RPGXP will not make a hack, it will make a game, so all tools we have on the forums will not help you with your game.

Make sure you post your game on the forums here ^.^

That's right, RMXP will create a game that you run using a standard windows EXE file. It will not compile a GBA rom that you can play with an emulator the way a hack would. But of course, RMXP is a lot more flexible because it isn't limited by the GBA hardware the way a hack is.

Advance Map.

^ This thread is well over 3 years old and has long since been resolved, so I'm closing it.
