I have a problem with AshGray, been trying to make sense of it all day..

Two problems, not sure if they're related. Here goes.

So I can't seem to get out of Hidden Village. I know what you're supposed to do.. that is, there's a path leading south to Route 6, according to countless youtube videos, but it's just not there on my ROM. I've tried patching a clean ROM with the 3.6.1 .ips but still have the same problem.

The environment looks different on my game - the trees, gym buildings, etc. The level design for Hidden Village is completely different to the youtube clips. Was this all redesigned, or have I done something wrong? I'm emulating the game via No$GBA, and using a patched version of FireRed(USA). I've even tried downloading a pre-patched ROM.. twice.

Any ideas? I was loving this hack, now I've hit a wall. Any help is hugely appreciated.

EDIT: Here are some screens (Cerulean, Route 5, Hidden Village) to show what I mean - http://i.imgur.com/ToQHU.png

Edit Edit: I'm stupid. Seems I was playing the file I had saved as Ash Gray.gba, not Ash Gray.gba. This was all after a very, very long day of revising for finals so please forgive me.

it might be your emulator- i use visual boy advance myself which doesnt have any of those issues.. yeah those visual bugs are either your no$GBA or possibly... well it could be that you dont have lunar IPS installed- so you cant patch might want to check that too

Thanks for the help, seems I was playing the wrong ROM all along haha.. and loading a snapshot from that ROM while running an up-to-date ROM didn't have much effect, strangely. I'll just restart since porting over my battery save file has resulted in Pikachu not obeying me.

Sigh.

That's weird, man. Maybe try using VBA like boomghost said, otherwise I can email you the patched ROM I'm using?

Thanks for the offer, I've got to the bottom of it, and as per usual, it's far more simple than I thought.

See my edit or the post above if you're interested but the TL;DR here is that I'm clearly somewhat mentally deficient. :P
