I will try the mystery machine since I haven't heard about it before. Will be interesting but is there a chance of being banned?



Since you actually went to a store and picked the codes up I wouldn't say you're lazy. However, I'd say you just wasted the chance for two other people to receive codes unless you give them away.
No you won't be banned for it.

Maybe he got them for his family/friends?

Nah Gamestops get more stock when they run out. I'll scratch mine eventually.

Seeing that I was able to get a legit code and use that, I went ahead with that method. That said, the description feels like such a lie on game freaks part. Especially when you know what they describe is impossible. Game freak never released arceus during Generation 4.

Got the Mystery Machine up and running without any major problems. Only problem is that I sometimes get blank wonder cards and no Pokémon show up but it works when I decline them and go back to choose 'download via internet'.

You could get them, just not the way Arceus was ment to be obtained. Toys R Us done a US event, of course power saves and all that jazz worked as well.

Unfortunately for me, I was living in Orlando at the time, and the nearest one(s) that were listed as doing Gen IV Pokémon distributions at the time were either locations in Jacksonville, or Atlanta.

Again, it still irks me to this day that Game Freak had the ability to do WiFi distribution as early as Diamond and Pearl, but chose not to, instead requiring the purchase of other games to get unlock codes, or basically buy a cheating device.

In my case, I had previously got fed up with the game enough to resort to buying an Action Replay, but was already cut short when the only device that saw event codes that replicated receiving said events to trigger normally, were on the CodeBreaker. So I had to buy one of those, too.

Spare Arceus Code - Last Character left off :)
E65Z8GW5SK3ARHW?

Edit by thread OP: To whoever gets the code - be sure to comment that you got it so that others won't waste their time. It's not fair to others to just take the code and run.

Good on you @feidhlim1986. I edited your post to let others know to mention if they redeem the code. And for anybody else who wants to give away a code - go and do what feidhlim did and leave off the last character. That way a bot won't come in and redeem in immediately. If you wanna be less cryptic about it then you can do something like:

(this is an example and not a real code) FNDIC48VN694BDK? ?=A


That way you know that the last number is an 'A' but a bot won't pick that up.

Spare NA Arceus Codes
I have two spare NA Arceus codes, but I don't want to post them publicly with the possibility of unregistered guests silently swiping them. If anyone is interested, please publicly respond to this post so others know they are claimed and I will PM one code per user as soon as possible.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
