ROM Hack [Release] Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal Virtual Console Wireless Linking Patches

[lorecast162]

can you make an italian patch for G,S and C?

 

[Jermeister]

I just recently found this but would it also be possible to make a 2player compatible "Pokemon Trading card game"? because i was disappointed that the normal VC of PTCG wasnt multiplayer and i now see this making GSC multiplayer compatible by using the RBYG VC so would it require some sort of patch or would i be able to just stick the rom in?

Want to make an english translated pokemon green.

Will the prism patch work with 0.92 version of game ?

If anyone is wondering how to get the patch for Red, Blue and Yellow, just grab it from inside the .CIA file.

Odd question, but what exactly goes into the patch? Like, let's say I wanted to patch a game besides Pokemon, tetris for example. How would I go about that?

I addressed this a little in the documentation, but I'll try to explain it again a little clearer here.
It's not so much "patching" anything, even though that's the official name. It essentially gives this VC emulator cues during emulation as to when certain link functions are being executed, and then the emulator can do specific functions that it wants to.

For example, there is a part in the patch that allows the prompt to connect to another player to appear. This works by being pointed to an address in the ROM where link cable functions begin, and when the program counter in the emulator itself reaches this address, the internal function for the prompt is triggered.

This. I'm wanting the same thing. I've got the elusive REV-D ROM of Shane Mohammed's Pokemon Green hack that I would love to inject and put on my 3DS (with the working VC Link Patch). I'm still going to do research on how to make this happen. From the first page it seems a little... intimidating.

The original green rom in the CIA does not work with the patch though it glitches the game and causes it to crash when you start a new game. so I tried a green rom that worked with the patch but the link feature won't work and talking to the lady in the poke center causes the game to hang.

Will there ever be patches for cias of FR/LG and R/S/E?

 

[Deleted member 370283]

No. This special VC emulator was only designed to specifically run GB and GBC games.

 

[Asdolo]

@Traiver hey I downloaded your CIA versions for English gold, silver, crystal as well as prism 0.92 everything works great except that Pokemon crystal doesn't show up in the activity log and it tracks the time as ???. Pokemon crystal is the only game to do that out of the bunch. Is there any fix for that?

The icon.bin has bad flags @Traiver

StoneBanana, when development of the patch becomes further along, do you think it might be something to collaborate with Asdolo on and possibly including in a future GB/GBC VC Injector? Assuming such a thing would be possible.

 

[Syphist]

IDK what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find the exefs folder or code.bin. I've dumped the cxi via Decrypt9WIP if that helps.

An automated patch maker is planned. Plans to collaborate with Asdolo at this point haven't been discussed, because the tool isn't finished.

 

[Blaze Uchiha]

Is there a patch for pokemon brown?

Would you be able to show me how to fix it? I haven't played it because of that...

 

[Asdolo]

Well, there are many ways to fix that. You can decompile the CIA using this tutorial, and then locate the icon.icn file in the ExeFS folder, and then hex-edit it replacing the 4 bytes starting on the offset 0x2028 with:

C5 01 00 00

(4 bytes long), saving your icon.icn and recompiling the CIA using the same tutorial.

Another way would be to make your own CIA with my GBC Injector, in which you can customize it the way you want. Also, if you use this method, don't forget to include the .patch file in the step 4 that makes the Link Cable features works!

How would I do this? I don't want to take up too much of your time, so just what program I would use and how I could identify the patch for RBY would be great. I've trying to figure out how to patch the first Gen games for a while.

Just unpack the romfs and look for a file named "Dmgapae0.e69.patch". That's the patch you need.
