just created a new crystal cia with my desired settings...
thanks for the help...

could i ask one more thing, i have a problem importing my save on VBA...
on VBA emulator (PC), everything works fine
but when i import the save file thru savedatafiler, the game says "save corrupted, need to initialize" something like that...
is there any work around on that error?
cuz my pokemon yellow VBA save works on the VC, but not the crystal...

thanks...

Is there a converter/hex-edit to make emulator saves be importable? When I rename my .sav from BGB emulator to sav.dat and try to import it the game says it is corrupted and must be initialized. In BGB I saved with and without "Save RTC in SAV file (VBA Compatible)"

EDIT: Here is the direct link for how to hex edit an emulator save into working with this VC release

A lot of emulators like VBA tack on real-time clock dats onto the end of a save file. You need to export your VBA save, and use a hex editor to shave off a few bytes from the end of the file.

thanks for your help...
save is working now...
i deleted everything Past 0x8000

is this the same solution you will make on my save?

just curious guys if this workaround is safe?
what i mean is does it affect the progress of the game/will it experience any error during gameplay since we delete some values?
or its plain related to RTC.

thanks...

The bytes you deleted are only related to RTC and won't affect gameplay otherwise. Just use the crystal password generator to change your time in the RTC because it's probably messed up.

I tried linked battles (Crystal Vs. Crystal), and result is weird.
Teams appeared right both sides, but the move effects did not synced.
Used Sleep Powder, one side it affected, the other side not. Then the battle went out off sync with HP and fainting all messed up.

With trading it went ok, except a long time wait during startup at "Please Wait..."

crystal vs cryxtal is ok for me
but not crystal vs silver
there is a tauros/freeze glitch

would be cool if ph bank could tranfer gen 2 mons to sun and moon from these since gen 1 pokemon data is slimar it would not be hard to convert once we know how the real pokebank converts the gen 1 pokemon

Is there any info on how to hack exefs/code.bin files in general?

The real Pokebank directly wont accept those Pokemon (And pretty sure it won't even detect the games)

Well you can still use the time capsule to trade gen 1 Pokemon caught in gsc and trade them to rby then use the poke bank on them. But no transferring gen 2 Pokemon that way

And.. What's the point of that? There isn't much Pokemon that learns Gen 1 Moves that can be transfer and learn "new" moves in the new games. Literally all of the egg moves are already implemented in later gens. Maybe the only ones possibles that are cool are the ones from the PCNY Event injecting a sav / modifying one. Lovely Kiss Snorlax in particular.

@TheStoneBanana: Great work!
Could you do this for the Japanese Versions too?
It would be damn cool if you could make a patch for the Japanese Crystal Version.

Could someone make a patch for TCG 1 and 2?

face_cgb.ttp

Edit: Even if I don't know how to open it, I'm pretty sure it's this file.
@Asdolo How did you do all your custom face in your injector?

 

[noctis90210]

thanks @Asia81
for those who want the super gameboy boarder

face_cgb.ttp

Indeed, face_cgb.ttp contains the border.
From offset 0x20 to the end of the file, there is the raw image data. The data format is RGBA8.

So to convert .png to ".ttp", I just grab the image the user want to inject and I convert it to RGBA8 raw data using EveryFileExplorer Textures class.

Anyway, someday I'll release the code, but it's a mess.

Where can i find the option for converting to RGBA8 in EFE?
