Halfway through the conversion, I get a message in Spanish that roughly translates to "data has been copied to the clipboard". I hit Okay, then once the progress bar finishes, a message appears that says conversion complete, would I like to open the output folder. But when I do, the .cia just isn't there.
Try redownloading the program, make sure is the latest version and that is not in your download folder. Try a folder on the desktop or something.
Why will the game I converted not play??? I just get a corrupted top screen image and nothing happens!
The Game Gear Star Wars game. it isnt too big a deal as it's on other consoles but Im curious anyway.
I keep getting theCurrent version: 1.2 (08-11-2016)
Hello everyone. Today I'm releasing a Windows tool that will make the Game Gear injection process much easier and customizable. I'm introducing Ultimate GG VC Injector for 3DS.
What does it do?:
It takes a Game Gear backup file and converts it to an installable CIA for your 3DS with CFW. It does all in a one single program.
Features:
- VC GG injection into a CIA
- Easy made custom 3D banner
- Easy made custom text/footer banner
- Easy made whole process!
Requeriments: Microsoft .NET framework 4.5
Tutorial:
You'll just follow the steps in program. But just in case:
(The tutorial's screenshot are from v1.0)
Step 1:
Open the program. You'll see this screen:
Press Open GG File button. It'll prompt you to pick a .gg file.
For this tutorial I'll pick the game Mortal Kombat II (Game Gear version).
When you pick a rom you'll be able to go to Step 2 (icon and name).
Step 2:
This is the Step 2 main screen:
All the fields are explained in the info boxes, but let me know if something doesn't understand.
Complete the fields making the most legit as possible (if you want to). For example:
I used a title screen screenshot in it's original size as icon (the program will automatically stretch it).
When you complete all the fields you'll able to go to Step 3 (3d banner).
Step 3:
This is the Step 3 main screen:
Note: The program will load some default values (based on those in Step 2), but you can anyway replace these default values with ohter ones.
Example: if you want the icon and 3D banner to have different images, then first complete Step 2 with the icon image that you want and then complete Step 3 with the banner image that you want. Otherwise if you are too lazy or you want the same standard as legit VC CIA, leave it as is.
For this example, I'll let the same image as the icon, but I'll edit the bottom banner, importing a custom one I made with GIMP (using the import and use custom footer image option):
You can also make your own text banner without leaving the application, as a quick and easy solution. You can change the font type, size, and brightness. Also there's a preview of that text banner (ignore the red borders, they won't be there in the console).
Doing my changes for this example:
When you complete or modify all the fields you'll able to go to Step 4 (VC parameters).
Step 4:
This is the Step 4 main screen:
You can't do much in this screen. There's no customization optiones like my other two injectors (GBC & GB), because the ingame menu is quite complete and have a lot of options for customizing.
So, here you can just change the Product Code and Title ID of the CIA. The product code is loaded directly from the GG rom, but you can change to any one you want.
I'll let those as is.
Once we have everything ready, press Finish button.
That's it! The application will ask you where do you want to save the CIA file and It took some seconds to create it.
When the CIA is ready, the application will let you know it.
Then you can install the CIA in sdcard using any CIA manager (actually I use the new FBI).
Console screenshots:
TODO, petitions, etc: For now I'll just read this thread and make changes acording to the best for all. The code will be released much later; I'm planing to do a series of VC injectors... If a new version comes, I'll post here and I'll edit the OP.
Download links:
Changelog:
v1.2:
* Fixed: Now the injections should be region-free (not tested).
* Fixed: Now the parental control won't be a trouble.
v1.1:
* Changed: Removed an extra rom check, so you should have no errors with any .gg rom
+ Added: Now you can specify a short game name when making the icon of the CIA.
* Fixed: Now the icon has the official Game Gear VC border!
v1.0: Initial release
Enjoy!
"Unable to load exheader file" message for both gamegear and turbografx roms during the finish process of step 4. I'm not sure what to do or what is wrong. The roms work in emulators.

I got the strange Spanish message half way through but after dismissing it and waiting the process worked. Thanks!
I have lost my save game several times now and I was wondering if there is a bug in the emulator? Maybe there's a newer version of it than the one you're bundling?
Thankfully save state sort of doubles as a save game so I could recover to a degree.

Click OK and wait. It works afterwards.Okay no matter what I do this message comes up when using this injector
Upon looking in the files it seems like the borders you see if you play in dot by dot mode are in a psb.m format and I can't seem to open them if anyone know how to open these files that would be great thanks!

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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
