I just want to say a huge thank you to @zaksabeast. With Citra Android port, I was able to play Pokemon Dream Radar using my phone's camera. Then, using zak's patch, I transferred the captured Pokemon to my Pokemon White 2 savefile which I opened with melonDS Android port in order to receive them. The goal of Dream Radar is to capture the 3 legendary "Forces of Nature" Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus. After completing that task and transferring them to White 2 (along with many other pokemon), I used cheats from another of zak's posts, which trick Dream Radar into thinking a Gen 4 Pokemon game is inserted. This unlocks each Gen4's Legendary. Here's an album of my experience:

Hi @zaksabeast,
First, thanks for creating that patch, I've been looking for something like it for a long time!
But I need your help here... From Github:
I tried that, got armips and flips, but when I run this I got an error as I'm missing "transporter.bin". I could not find this in any version of the source codes in GitHub. Can you help me?
Thanks!!

If you want a different game Id or save path, run these commands (replace SD_SAVE_PATH and GAME_ID):
armips transporter.s -strequ SD_SAVE_PATH "/roms/nds/saves/black.sav" -strequ GAME_ID "IRBO"
flips -c code.bin code_patched.bin code.ips
I tried that, got armips and flips, but when I run this I got an error as I'm missing "transporter.bin". I could not find this in any version of the source codes in GitHub. Can you help me?
Thanks!!
Hi and thanks for making this patch! Just wondering if it may or may not work with Black 2 or White 2 rom hacks or alongside other patches for Black 2 and White 2.
I finally got it working for mine using a Forwarder for Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, but there is something I want to ask about: Can you update the patches to actually work as individual software titles instead of having to change names for each of them to "code.ips"? The 3DS and Wii U Eshops are closing down forever this month meaning that Pokémon Bank will be permanently free to use forever.
Exactly what do you mean? This uses Lumas LayeredFS Game Patching functionality. This means that Luma applies the ips-patch named code.ips, that's lying in the folder with the titles id, if present.
I mean like having all of them to work with Poké Transporter if you have all 4 of the Gen 5 games as forwarders.

Oh, now I understand.
I've never used PokéTransporter, but from what In know it only supports one game at a time and I guess there is no real way around that without heavy modification of PokéTransporter. However, what you could do, is use a software that replaces the code.ips file for you in a comfortable way, so that you don't have to do that manually. Someone could write such software, dedicated to these explicit patches, but you could also just use something, like Modmoon which is made to do exactly that.
I finally got Modmoon working with Poké Transporter after figuring out what to do with it after so many errors and such and having trouble getting it to work properly, and NOW I can finally use the code.ips files from Generation 5 for this. Now only if we could have a patch that actually tricks the Pokémon Transporter to transfer Pokémon from Gen 3 and Gen 4 to Gen 6 and 7 before using Pokémon Home. I still remember when one person on YouTube actually made a device to transfer Pokémon from Generation 2 to Generation 3 to make transferring your Pokémon from Generation 2 all the way to Generation 8/9 depending if said Pokémon exists in Gen 8 and 9.
Anyways, the example I want to go through would be THIS: if someone had a VC Injected Pokémon R/S/E/FR/LG rom and a forwarded D/P/Pl/HG/SS rom in there, it would be nice to have a patch to trick said Transporter to transfer from those Gens to Bank.
Patching Pokémon Transporter to accept Gen3 and Gen4 doesn't sound that simple. You could try to transfer your Pokémon using PKSM
I checked if game patching was enabled, I changed the name of the patch code.ips, my white2.nds is in the roms/nds folder, and the white2.sav is in the roms/nds/saves folder, what I could have done wrong? Is it my custom luma?
Boot the luma3ds from SD Card instead of SysNAND !
The game patching feature will not take effect when you boot from SysNAND.
So copy the boot.firm back into your SD Card and make sure **ENABLE** Game Patching feature again when you restart the 3DS (the feature will auto disable due to different boot.firm)
this frustrating me a couple of days and I try the tutorial a many times. but it wont help.
then I try PKSM redirect scripts mentioned in the thread but it wont do neither.
so I think there will be something wrong with patching feature since the PKSM will not being wrong.
finally I found this:
[[Game patching doesn't work anymore, is it because of luma?]]
charming job ! and finally I can use the radar.
I think you should mention that IPS game patching will not work when those who boot their 3ds from SysNAND.
boot.firm in SD Card is required to patching feature will take effect.

I did exactly that but it didn't work

Hey, how do you boot Luma3DS from SD card? In section VI of 3DS homebrewing finalizing from 3ds.hacks.guide, I followed exact steps to boot Luma3DS from sysNAND. How do I undo it?

I understand how it worked now, I had to rename the IPS file to code.ips to make it work, and I was still booting Luma from SD card all along.

To clarify: Your 3DS will automatically try to boot from SD and will fall back to your NAND, if that doesn't work. So as long as you have an SD card, with the correct files, inserted, it should boot from there. That should be the case if you followerd 3ds.hacks.guide.
you renamed the ips file to this /luma/titles/00040000000AE100/code.ips ?or something else im so confused ive been trying this for hours now
You only need to rename the IPS file that you want Poke Transporter to be patched, for example if you want Transporter to search for black.sav, rename black.ips into code.ips. Everytime when you want to change the search for different gen 5 games, you need to rename the according IPS files into code.ips. Be sure to enable Game Patching in Luma3DS configuration menu.
