Technically with a hex editor you can edit more than with just editors, a lot of it is just more time consuming.
With a hex editor and a table file, you can edit text.
You can edit scripts with a hex editor, you can edit maps, levels pokemon learn attacks, pretty much anything, you'd just need to know where the data is and how it is stored.
Typically, gold is easier to hack than RBY. Pokemon images can be easily changed with Agixp, and more data is known for the games. Plus they use an internal scripting system that we have figured out and can edit, as opposed to red where each event is coded in ASM. Hope this helps.

Well, what would you like to know how to do, and I can point out a tutorial for it. Also there are tutorials posted in the documents section under generation II.
Also, you will still need a tile editor and a map editor, because it is... not practical to change maps or graphics in pure hex.

I dont know why you wont use other tools than just a HEX editor. Heck, even Coolboyman used RedMap for Brown.

Because now he knows that hex editor can be used for everything  Anyway hex editing is not simple and I myself don't really know how to look data for doing different stuff. However if you want to learn how to do hex editing first you need to understand hexadecimal system. |

Before I explain anything, they are right. Hex hacking is complicated to most people, and took me a while to make sense at first too.
Yes, you can technically do anything with it if you know where it is, but let me stress to you that when starting out, it makes more sense to start with other editors as well.
Also, some things are just not practical to do in hex. I certainly don't only use a hex editor for SaR. I use Goldmap to edit maps, the tileset editor to edit things about them, tile layer pro to edit graphics, AgiXP to insert pokemon and trainers, And Poketext for some of the text editing. I will still link you to some tutorials, but don't go into this thinking it will be easy right off the bat, or that you can legitimately make a good hack with only a hex editor. Gamefreak didnt do it that way, we don't do it that way, and even coolboyman didn't do it that way.

I'm newbie I'm asking cuz i'm like to try hack using mobile hex editor Not to worry, I'm throwing together a tutorial on editing map tile data in a hex editor, which is extremely simple to do, you just need to make sure you do some of it off computer/mobile on graph paper first. |

Well the tutorial is posted in the documents section, and I will go back and add some pictures to it later. I'm about to go to class, followed by Church so it will be a while before I get a chance, but I'll update it that way.
And yes, the titlescreen image is in the rom, it is compressed though so you will have to repoint and use a compression tool (Agixp) to insert your new one.
