PMD ROM Hacking Weekly - July 11th, 2021
For personal reason, I won't be able to publish the newsletter for the next week. As I have higher risk of missing interesting content, if you see something worth mentioning (update to rom -- including patch, good artistic creation, progress in reverse engineering, change in SkyTemple other than a simple commit ...) that doesn't end up in one the SkyTemple's ANNOUNCEMENTS server, please send me a message using one of the contact methods indicated at the end of the document.

⮝ Demo for PMD 99 !
Posted by PikaNiko in the SkyTemple Discord server
First demo of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 99
Feature
- 99 floors for dungeon from Beach Cave to Chasm Cave
(if the dungeons have two parts, e.g. for Quicksand Cave and Quicksand Pit, it will have 198 floors. I haven't tested if it is ok for a dungeon to have 198 floors. DM to me if there is any bug.)
- Reset to level 1 every time entering the dungeon
Plan
Balance the game more because now I haven't even known if it is possible to finish Beach Cave.
Add Sylveon to the game.

⮝ SkyTemple Changes
For some reason, in the SkyTemple Discord Server, many people started making funny version of the SkyTemple logo. Most of them are the #quality channel.
Also, the SkyTemple logo is now avalaible in the spreadshirt shop. Parakoopa will keep it open a few more day.
⮝ New Features
- Committed by irdkwia: Patch to provide support for changing textbox bg color.
This patch changes the instructions that set the textbox background color to make textbox color editing easier.
Once applied, color will be at arm9:0x27800 [US], 0x27AF4 [EU], 0x27B60 [JP] in that format: R,G,B,A with 1 byte for each component (default color should be 0x20,0x20,0x20,0x90).
⮝ Fixes
- Committed by Parakoopa: "Fix how strings are read during ExplorerScript decompilation prepare" (for SSB). Also create a new release of
skytemple-filesfor this fix :1.2.4.
