Finally! Hack for Japanese Colosseum Bonus Disc for US games!

[Fishaman P]

Awesome! Thanks!

Coincidentally just now I was trying to get the Pikachu through JPN's Colosseum ISO (As explained in the OP). Changed the 3 offsets, and opened 2 spots on the Colosseum's party. but I get this when I click on the Shrine:

Any idea what could it be guys?

Good thing I can read moonrunes.
"There is no Pokémon Colosseum save file on the Memory Card in Slot A"
So either the patching went wrong, or there's a problem on your end.

Thanks! However, no matter what I do I can't get the edited ISO to work on CFG USB Loader with either DIOS MIOS or Nintendont. Okay, that's fine, but I can't get it to load the American Colosseum save file on Dolphin. It'll keep throwing that message, and I'm certain I replaced the three J's with three E's on offsets 29AB8003, 29F4FEBB, 29F50AC3, as the OP states. Hrmmmm.

That right there doesn't sound right. It probably has something to do with the issue.
I'm pretty sure both DIOS MIOS and Nintendont have patches for each version of Colosseum, so make sure the first 4 bytes of the ISO are still the same (i.e. the Japanese GAMEID)

Says PCSJ01. Hrmm. Everytime I put it on it loads, but once I click A on the screen with Celebi and Pikachu's pictures on the first menu, it stays in a blackened screen. I also noticed that it created a ninmemj.raw on my USB. I already copied my USA Colosseum savefile into the physical memory card and am trying to run the Japanese ISO with NMM Off, but it won't go past the black screen.

You could try using Dolphin to put your US save into ninmemj.raw.

Well.... i used the ninmemj.raw on Dolphin. Copied the USA save to ninmemj.raw with the Memcard Manager of Dolphin. And... it worked! Just that it doesn't says "Ageto". :[



Also no Pikachu.

It does say Ageto - アゲト
The Celebi is Japanese, the Name and OT will not change to English.

Now I know where the Pikachu is from...

https://tcrf.net/Pokémon_Colosseum Scroll down to Japanese Bonus Disc

That's the way to unlock the Undistributed Pikachu and Celebi that were in the NA Bonus Disc

 

[Lumstar]

That code uses Colosseum.

The NA Bonus Disc is for Jirachi, not Celebi.

Oh fuck me. I thought these 2 Pokemons were locked in the NA Bonus Disc, not in Colo itself!

Thanks guys! I've got everything I need now!

 

[Butterhands]

There is a way to tranbslate the dialogs?

 

[suloku]

Back when I was trying this I wans't able to get the colosseum pikachu. I was using the EUR version; are there any requirments to get pikachu?

To my knowledge the current codes don't work correctly in the EUR version.
But there hasn't been much research on it.

 

[suloku]

Then that might be it, for the record, they work just fine for celebi.
Then what about the japanesse bonus disk? How do you get colosseum pikachu?

 

[Deleted User]

Is there even a point to this when you could just use a Japanese Ruby/Sapphire game and trade to the US game?

 

[suloku]

So, explain me how to get a legit celebi nowadays on that jap cart without the japanesse colosseum bonus disc, which requires a jap GC (or some region free boot).

If you are talking about emulation, theres no working gc-gba connectivity yet.

some people don't have that setup

The Japanese versions are real cheap on ebay and if you need an extra GBA and link cable I'm pretty sure you can get those cheap if mint condition or 1st party aren't a concern. Alternatively you could get the GB player for your second GBA, Japanese GB player discs are cheap and easy to come by and I'm assuming you can read a Japanese GB player disc if you can read a Japanese Colosseum bonus disc

I don't understand your first point. Of course you need the bonus disc, there would be no point of using the hack mentioned in this thread or getting a Japanese R/S game to unlock bonus disc content without the bonus disc.

Dolphin can connect to some VBA emulators

sure, years ago when i got my japanese celebi i bought a new japanese emerald for it, but not everyone wants to get something new, some people can't afford an extra $5 or $10 for something like this.
also, on ebay many gba games are fakes i think, so some people don't like buying there for this stuff
