Yup. That's what this is all about, taking what Nintendo did with the official Pokemon RBY 3DS VC titles that allowed for wireless battling and linking and making it work with Gold, Silver, and Crystal. It was found to not be the easiest of tasks, however, they've managed to get it done, and that I think is something that should be applauded haha.
So these are modified gbc roms made by fans? if yes where can I get these roms?

So in the future, would it be possible for people to patch VC games that had local connectivity to work, not just Pokemon games? It'd be cool to be able to restore SMB Deluxe to actually have its local stuff again.

I'm sure the same kind of method could be used for other GB/C games, however, the guy working on this went on to say that he's only doing it for Gold, Silver, and Crystal. So whatever he did here would have to be done by someone else for other GB/C games. My understanding is that it's not as simple as just copying and pasting the patch from one game to the next.

Exactly. Not many GB/C games share a standard connection protocol in their coding that meshes well with the new VC it seems. If that were the case then this would've all been as simple as dropping Pokemon GSC or any other game for that matter into the New VC with no connective issues.

I grew up with the second generation of Pokémon, so Gold, Silver and Crystal. That's my only reason for making this. I'm not interested in future games like the GBA ones or some other GBC games I don't like.

Just to remind those of you who want to know if the patch was released...

I will be making a separate release thread and posting a link to it here. You will know when it is out, trust me.

When you guys release this amazing project, it would be pretty cool if you also gave us a write up of how it came to be. I know I for one would love to attempt to replicate this on one of my favorite hacks, but even besides that it would be awesome even for research into the VC itself.

If you mean GBC hacks, it's coming our for several GBC GSC hacks, too.

for example?
Bronze & Crystal Emu Edition for example.

I mostly meant to do it for Danny-E 33's full color Pokemon Yellow, but that's still awesome to hear.
You can patch this by yourself, just extract the yellow game and compare it to the full color hack and look for matches. There is no need for our patches to do that.

@Traiver is it only english or other lang too?
@Traiver DID make a port to the German version of Pokemon Crystal, and the door is certainly open for anyone else to port it to their preferred language.

It wouldn't be as exciting as you'd think. :P

True enough, thanks for the tips.

Lol fair enough, but I guess not all great discoveries have to be terribly exciting. If anything, it would still be pretty great for the community's learning purposes since everyone basically wrote this off as highly improbable, but I don't know if that's enough to justify the write up.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
