I want to use the % Shiny modifier with the Shiny Lock Removal IPS patch. But they're not working together. Normal PKMN will be shiny but SL pokemon wouldn't
Uuuugh!

Apparently Always shiny and Shiny rate modifier behaved very differently when it comes to different hex bytes for shiny lock,
Turns out that 09 is exactly the same modified hex byte as SM version that's not shiny locked can be encountered as shinies normally with both normal and modified shiny rate works but doesn't work with always shiny patch.

While 01 is shiny-locked you can't get them in normal ways even with normal/modified shiny rate, but will be unlocked when applying with Always shiny patch, I believe that's how Ash-Greninja is considered not shiny-locked but still shiny-locked regardless, that's quite strange.

02 and 03 are permanent shinies for ordinary pokemon that appears in the ultra wormhole, or Event pokemon even if it's random they retain their shininess after resetting the game, yet that still affects shiny-locked mascot legendaries, tapus and gift totems.

18 is well the original hex byte as always which is shiny-locked normally, duh.

anyways, gotta bang my head on the desk.

If you guys have godmode9 I advise you to edit the code.ips in Luma/titles/[titleID] in Hex editor, look for ''00 01 01 45 4F 46'' which is Shiny removal patch if merged with other ips patches, edit the third hex byte whatever you want to change, I'm not going to bother to fix that again, I'll leave that be that way. ^^;

Looking in the wrong place then. Yeah, I saw it and got it all settled. I should be set until the inevitable v1.1 patch.

Hello, I've been having trouble with the DisableNCF.ips as in that, whenever I try to stream using kit-kat it won't work and I have game patch enabled on luma, and I have the .ips in luma/title/00040000001b5100/. I used the title id from -snip- so is that the problem and if yes, how do I fix it?

make sure you are using version specific patch.
make sure the luma you used, it supports ips format patch.
make sure you have a n3ds or n2ds.

Idk if you do request, but think you can put in a thingy so you don't lose speed in ultra space? or similar? Or so you don't get zapped by the electric balls? or so they don't appear in the first place?

Hey guys i need some help... I think I'm doing something wrong xD
More Info:
  • Using a O2DS with Ultra Sun;
  • added the exp ips file (Exp x100.ips) to luma/titles/00040000001b5000/;
  • Made sure that "enable game patching" is checked in the luma configuration screen;
After all that I get into the game and do a battle to test it... still getting the normal amount of exp :c
Am I missing any step?

*Edit*
Renamed the file to 'code.ips'... now the game crashes (gives an exception) whenever I try to start it xD

*Edit 2*
well i guess that the crash was my fault... tried to edit the hexadecimal value to give 10x exp instead of 100x... changed the 64 to A, tried with 0A as well but it keeps crashing... any one know which value I should put? xD

Make sure the file is its' original length, and that the other bytes are unchanged (use the screenshot on the first page). Also, are you using the one for your game version? (US won't work with UM as far as I know)

Yes you change the 64 value to 0A for 10x
make sure to use an editor like HxD that will warn you if you accidentally change the file size. it's important it remains the same!

I've played around with different values to make sure the pokemon don't over-level on a new game and I settled for 03, 3x :)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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!
