ROM Hack [Release] AGB_FIRM Signature Patcher + GBA ROM Converter

Ahh. Thanks man!

Holy crap it worked! Amazing job!

Heh, I told you guys AGB_FIRM had sig checks. I've messed with this for a while and while it's accurate it's a bit of a pain to work with. Plus no Pokemanz, because it legitimately doesn't have 128KB save support at all, so Fire Red will fail to save and Emerald and Ruby will white screen. Mother 3 works though, I'm about halfway through that one.

There's an issue with the icons this app builds. Every time I go to start a GBA VC title built with this, I get the Parental Controls Pin request. Quite annoying.

I updated files, hopefully it's fixed now.

So if there's 3 known save values, there's none for 128KB saves? (I guess there might not need to be since the ambassador games didn't include that)...
Time to port over my "Chipsune!" tracker!

Rebuilt a game with the new version. Still get prompted to enter my pin when going to play it. Not a big deal I might disable Parental Controls soon anyways.

The value is there, and it somewhat emulates it, but it never writes the save. So it's basically useless.

Still waiting for your emulator.

I smell another patch coming...

Can you try one more time? 1.1b ver.

Very nice, was able to build Superstar Saga into CIA and works great. If only my paint skills were up to par. Very cool.

Would like to report the issue is no longer present. It boots immediately after selecting it.

So far I've gotten Mother 3, Golden Sun/2, and Rhythm Heaven Silver working. I'm kinda surprised it handles Golden Sun. The only notable game I've had issues with is Payback, which complains it can't access the EEPROM on a glitchy screen.

tested with :
The Legend of Zelda The minish cap
The Legend of Zelda The link to the past
Super Mario advance 2
Final fantasy VI advance
Sword of mana

All games works pefectly.

is that your emu or whatever behaviour GBA VC has?

About New3DS support: I don't own one and I can't make patch without XORpads, since N3DS using additional encryption layer on ARM9 FIRM section. More information here: http://3dbrew.org/wiki/FIRM#New_3DS_FIRM

So is the issue that without one you can't get it to work?
Is that due to simply not being able to do the process or tools not existing?

If by some miracle it was the former, plenty of users (myself included) could try to assist. AGB_FIRM isn't necessary to boot anyway, so bricking seems unlikely.

By the way, you plan on patching sig checks for TWL_FIRM? I would like to modify region flag and other things for some DSiWare, but TWL_FIRM has sig checks believe it or not. So I'm limited with what I can do with it.

Though unlike AGB_FIRM, TWL_FIRM is kinda important outside of CFW as it's used most often to boot DS flashcarts to install MSET rop. But I'm sure some users can't get by without working TWL_FIRM at initial boot as I am on 9.2 and have web browser as my primary entry point. Something to think about at least.

I'm actually still getting the error. I have parental controls on only to restrict 3D (because I broke my 3D slider and it's the only way to turn it off).
I'm guessing I get it because of that, though it still seems like a bug

There's already a minish cap lol.
