RomPatcher.js VS hgss-map-randomizer

You need to patch your rom with the translation patch. On PC there's offline patchers, but using something like https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/ is probably easiest on mobile.

In that case, you're gonna need a ROM, an emulator (https://www.zophar.net/snes/snes9x.html), a translation patch (https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/63676-fe4-translation-patch-open-beta-v7/#comments), and a patcher (https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/). Theres different patches for different versions of the game, but the readme in the translation patch tells you which patch to use for your file.

Do you have a 3DS or PSP? I hacked mine and it’s really convenient to play old games on. There’s lots of homebrew tutorials on YouTube. For those games you need to put a translation patch on the rom (I usually use this website to patch stuff). Or sometimes you can find a rom that someone already patched. All this might sound complicated, but trust me it’s not. I barely know anything about computers and this kinda thing, but I figured this stuff out.

I usually get my patches from Romhacking.net, and they specify which ROM you'll need in the the ROM / ISO Information section in each page. For patching, I use Floating IPS. You just need the .ips patch and a copy of the right ROM. You could also use online patchers, like the one over at www.marcrobledo.com.

I then loaded the ISO.file with the latest patch 2.0.31 https://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=12767.0 with the help of the following website https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/

You need to patch it first with a clean emerald rom (Emerald.gba (Trashman)) . Using https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/

I watched that SmallAnt video and a couple others play HGSS with almost every warp randomized. The link is in that description https://github.com/adrienntindall/hgss-map-randomizer/releases/tag/Release but the .exe thats supposed to randomize the rom of your choice, is a microsoft application and I have a mac. Is there an easy way to get around this? Could I get someone with windows to download it and randomize a rom and then send the rom file to me pre-randomized? I have little to no knowledge about any of this stuff, it's my first rom, please send help:)

I have no idea if the elements about code use are true, but regardless smallant didn't make the mod or post it on github, that was done by someone else, he just played it.
