ROM Hack [GB(C)] Injection with the New Generation of VC

[CeeDee]

For right now, yes. Once I finalize the patch completely, I'll look into converting it for other languages.

What about Gold and Silver?

 

[Deleted member 370283]

Considering Crystal is very heavily based on Gold and Silver, a port of the patch to those games should be a breeze.

 

[CatmanFan]

Can multiplayer be used with non-Pokémon games? Such as the GB version of Mario & Yoshi or the GBC versions of Mario Golf and Mario Tennis?

 

[Deleted member 370283]

Any game using Link Cable functions can be patched to work with this version of the emulator.
The only hitch is actually going through the code and figuring out where the specific functions are. Disassemblies immensely help in this regard.

OK thanks, so how can it be patched?

 

[Deleted member 370283]

Well... Nintendo's VC emulator supports custom .patch files in the root of the program.
They are formatted basically like a .INI file, but the functions within the .patch file are (at this point) a bit unclear.

For creating the Crystal patch, I heavily referenced the original Pokemon Red/Blue patches by Nintendo.

PMed you. Anyone else who is interested in testing, please let me know here. I'll add you to the conversation.

I'll join in to help as well. As you can see in my signature I easily meet the requirements.

 

[Deleted member 370283]

Added you to the convo.

From this point forward, I think I have enough testers.

just want to ask if the link feature is a patch on the emulator or in the game dump itself?

if the patch is applied on emulator, it will be available for all games using link feature...
but if it will be applied on specific offset on a game dump, we manually do it for each game...

just want to ask, which is which?
thanks :-)

 

[Deleted member 370283]

It is a patch of the game, which means that the offsets need to be found and set manually.

 

[Asdolo]

So? What are the testers's results?

 

[Deleted member 370283]

Please be patient.
I'm just now getting some final results, and am adjusting the patch accordingly.

If it helps hold over the wait at all, one of the testers (@Traiver) was able to successfully battle using the Cable Club. There are still a few kinks to work out, though.

I was just curious, sorry. I didn't think you and the testers were "debugging" by PM's.

You did a revolution here!

I have also seen another YouTube video involving trading with a sort of custom Pokémon Green (English) VC on a New 3DS XL with legit Pokémon Red VC on a 2DS. It also shows at the end that the trade doesn't corrupt the save for Pokémon Blue on the New 3DS XL.

Probably uses the same Link Cable hook locations as RBY.

As for that awful 2DS skin in the thumbnail... Ugh, skins like that are awful. (No it's not because of the ponies)
Seriously? Just slapping a stock image around the borders of the console? The screens crop the logo and ponies to have it all cut in pieces, you can hardly tell what it even is supposed to be. And the color of the skin doesn't even go with the console...
I mean seriously, if i were to buy a skin (I wouldn't as they all look pretty crappy) I think they should at least make it look decent. A console themed like Zelda doesn't just have a stock picture of Wind Waker HD around the Wii U gamepad cutting off everything but the edges of it.

That's not that important in this subject; what we're talking about here is New VC gen. injection. (no offense)

I've also found a video showing trading with custom Pokémon Green and legit Pokémon Blue using the same N3DS XL and 2DS.

It isn't important, I know, but it just looks so bad.

All that means is that the games are compatible with multiplayer... Same VC hook locations as RB, probably, and both the hack and the original RB work together.

That's because the Green (English) ROM is really just a Pokémon Blue romhack that was made to resemble the Japanese release of Green, since both were Pokémon gen 1 games. Nothing in the Nintendo config file inside the CIA was changed anyway, since it's a Blue romhack.

Then it doesn't bring anything significant to the table...

All features (Trading, battling, and I guess the time capsule) are usable.
Right now, I just need some playtesters who have two homebrew enabled 3DSs and the ability to install CIAs to make sure this fully works. (I guess if you can use HANS, that works too)

I can test trading between a O3DS and 2DS.
