try moving the ROM to the same folder as the editor and then clicking and dragging the ROM onto the editor.

I was just being a doofus, I hadn't realized that I had to open my ROM, and just assumed everything was in a nice pretty package, haha.
Thank you for your assistance though, Jamie! I did end up opening it up and fiddling around with it for an hour or two!

Mostly here http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?board=79.0.
Open Golden Sun is the current non-hacking project.
If you start looking around here you'll also notice a cancelled RPGmaker project and my ideas for a fangame.

Wow, that all looks super cool! I'll definitely be checking all of those out, once I get the chance! Thanks, Luna! Even if the fan-game never grew into something real, I always love reading the ideas!

Hey there, and welcome! Outside of the editor, there are also a number of various patches that can help you customize your game, as well as some other guides you can check out if you're willing to dabble with hex editing. As for general projects, one of the more popular hacks right now is Caledor's balance patch.

Let us know if you need any help for anything. Aside from that, we hope you enjoy your time here.

Hellohello, Lord Squirtle! I shall be taking you up on that offer of help, hopefully you won't be regretting it. ;D
I don't think I'll be diving into Hex editing just yet. Though I'm sure I'll be getting there soon enough. Which is kind of sucky, since that is kind of the whole point of this project. ^^;;
I did end up checking out Caledor's patch actually! It looks awesome, I might give that a playthrough soon. The upgraded class system and unique items seem intriguing!

The v0.5a is the latest, but for some god forsaken reason it's never been put into the downloads section.

Cause it was the "developer version" with more bugs and incomplete features than usual, though that's probably a moot point by now.

I actually did end up finding the latest version, thankfully! Thanks for the update!

@Atrius, I was actually looking through your old videos, and I was curious how was it that you were able to create a custom map?

I think I came across a map-editor a few years ago that looked very similar to the open-editor ... but I can't find it anymore.

Hi Fox, thank you!

Yeah, I kind took a look through the forum afterwards and realized that. Though the active GS community is pretty small in comparison to most, so I can't say I'm surprised! But it is refreshing to see a group still relatively alive at this point, haha.
I honestly didn't think I'd find anything!

AND YES, only the coolest kids! (mine is also only temp, I just wanted something there, so I didn't look like an egg)

Hello Jamie! That's fine, some things are better than none! :D I am a fan of lurking myself. ^^

----

Thanks, Rolina! and that's fine, I am just happy to find something stirring, at least!

----

Thank you, Luna!
And woo, a fellow mapper! I am definitely interested, I'll have to seek that out!
I was wondering where do I look to find these other projects? I am not sure how much of a help I'd be for the actual editor with just mapping skills.

@everyone
Question about the editor though. I downloaded and opened it, and I couldn't get past the title screen. Is that just because it's not finished, or is there something I am missing? ^^;;

Hello everyone!

It's awesome to find such a large group of people who are working on such an awesome project! I have been an avid Golden Sun fan since it's release, and have definitely gone back to play the games more than a few times ^^;;

I am still learning to program myself, but I'm more of a maps and (kinda) arts person myself!

I can't wait to explore this website and the editor and see what it has in store! Also, it goes without saying, I look forward to meeting you all!
