Pony Fantasy VI Remake

Goodie... I'll save it for tomorrow, I guess.

Looking at the documentation for the summon patch. To be clear - what I want is the Summon Command to summon the user's equipped Esper, and they can do it unlimited times each battle, while normal Esper summons remain a one-off.

Since the patch didn't work I decided to look at the documentation to see for myself what it changes, and it confuses me. He lists conflicting data for a set of bytes at C2/52C#, and yeah.

I'm not sure if starting at "C2/53C9: A3 01        LDA $01,S       (get current command)" he meant :C2/53D9" instead of C9 and so on, or what.

On the event editing front, I'm thinking it'll be easier (KISS) to allow the encounter with my bonus boss at any time. So I went into ZoneDoc and edited the event where you inspect Gestahl's portrait to trigger a battle. It worked fine, talked to the portrait, battle time. But once I beat the enemies, it didn't take me back to the gallery.

1) That's indeed what the patch will do. So you're in luck there.

2) The patch works just fine. I'm looking at the documentation and yes he alters some original data, this is normal for a patch. The only free space he uses is C2/64B7 - C2/64E6. I'd imagine your free space is still free in this range, but if not then that's where the problem is. I know you said you tried both patches and all that, but I still have trouble believing this patch won't work on your ROM...I guess send it my way via a PM again if you'd like so I can take a look firsthand. I'm not sure what issue you see there in the documentation, but I'm sure Lenophis has it right.

3) Having never used Zone Doctor's event editor before, I'm not exactly sure, although it sounds like you'll just need to re-load the correct map after the battle, along with the character in the correct x,y spot. Can you elaborate on what happens after the battle a bit more? Like what map it does load, or if the screen is black etc. Like where does it take you then?
...
Actually, I bet all it needs is to either:
A) fade the screen back in... $96.
or
B) 'return' after the event, when it's done, meaning you need an $FE byte at the end of the event, after the battle. $FE is 'return'.

Also, what happens if you lose that custom battle, I'm wondering? Most battles (if you want) have a game over subroutine afterwords, just a heads up to add that if you didn't. Again, looking at some battle examples from the event dump should give you a nice idea of what else needs to be done after battles in order to get things working right. Sometimes, depending on certain events, for battles you'll need to reload the whole map, other times just a simple $96 load screen back in will do it... And don't forget to wrap it all up at the very end with a $FE (return).
