Battle start is a missing animation, but I'm not sure which one.

The pixel glitch does not show up in Crono's graphical data in the ROM - something must happen after the transfer to RAM.

It's not just Chrono it's every sprite in game.

Found it. The modified graphics loading routine was missing one instruction. New patch.

Damn, I tried it today and it fixes the pixel glitches, but ands a new glitch when you try to load techs or swap party order from the menu.

Change 0x029A88 to 74 to fix that.

I was thinking the illusions in Magus' Castle should also be updated. Janus? Queen Zeal, perhaps?

That can be done with temporal flux afterward by anybody.

Hey, I used to post here like 10+ years ago as Oswego del Fuego and have since gone on to do a number of hacks.

I saw Mauron's post on romhacking.net about his Temporal Flux patches. It got me curious and I was amazed to see so much activity on this quite old thread.

I hate to be that guy, but has there been any updates on 8thy since last year? Reading through this got me so excited!

I actually did a partial sprite sheet for playable Schala back when Crimson Echoes was first under discussion in 2005. I've attached it in case anyone would find it helpful. Most of the special poses are absent but all the basic stuff is there.

I'm going to be focusing on this once Hi-Tech is released.

That's great Mus, I mean news!  :|

In the meantime--thank you for all the amazing work you've already done.

The first step will be to clean up all the existing code, and organize it.

Lmao, you're him? We owe you a debt for Crimson Echoes. You really kept the spirit of the place alive in the dark times before Agent 12 came along. Losing you and GrayLensman was quite a blow in that era.

Z - I know you're touch and go these days. Hopefully you've seen Fauntleroy's ongoing project in another thread. He's making a remastered version of Chrono Trigger with Schala as an 8th character and with new events as a result. :)

I thought the project was a new side-quest to rescue her, and she then simply appeared as an NPC for events afterwards.
