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

[Jobel]

A patch for Zelda Oracle Of Ages/Seasons would be cool.

those have already been released on the 3ds eshop

Yes, but not with the wireless thing.

 

[TheShadowFrag64]

Very helpful guide! Thank you so much!

 

[Hecklezz]

Just wondering, by wireless link is this wireless through the 3DS' nearby connectivity, or is this wireless in terms of being on the same wireless network?
Because if it goes by wireless network, wouldn't setting up a Virtual LAN work for people not on the same network?

 

[LuigiGold]

What tool do you guys use for "dumping" the game?

I used Braindump and it doesn´t seems to work when I use CTRtool... it doesn´t "complete" the extraction.

 

[Prince Valmont]

Yes, but not with the wireless thing.

I don't believe Oracle of Seasons/Ages had any sort of connectivity with each other (as in link cable). They primarily used their own proprietary password system.

Can this work with Gen 1 ROM hacks? I'm very interested in applying this to Red ++ and Pokemon Green (https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/876/)

I don't know if it's been answered, I just finished Yellow via VC and have been mulling over playing through other main games. Could this work with the GBA titles? I want to play those on the 3DS, but of course trading is necessary for some evolutions.

In that ISO site the links are down, I'm trying to extract from the CXI, but I got stucked on Step 15.

I don't know how to find the code.bin and my exefs.bin is only 1kb.

What I'm missing? ):

-------------------------

For those who are failing like me, you can use Ultimate GBC VC Injector for 3DS, he has an option to install the Wireless Patch on the last step!

Now I have a Crystal (Emu Version) VC

You can just use a .cia file. Dump it in any way you like, for example d9wip.

Then decrypt it with d9wip: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-decrypt-extract-rebuild-3ds-cia-cxi-files.383055/

(or dump and decrypt at the same time by using d9wip's 'CIA Builder (SysNAND/decr.):' option!)

Then use 'HackingToolkit3DS' to extract it.

use the option 'CE' to extract all the files, and say 'yes' to the decompressing the bin, that takes care of most of the guide,

After that, just recompress the bin file using the command stated in guide on page1,
Then you can rebuild the project back into a .cia with the 'CR' command.

NOTE:

This will allow the gen 2 game to be playable, but it will overwrite whatever game you dumped,
IF you dumped pokemon red, you can never use pokemon red, and gen 2 at the same time,

You would need to change the ID number for this:

Hey there,

for me braindump is not realy working, i always get the same error for dumping Pokemon Yellow - "Failure during dumping. Output data is incomplete"
And Pokemon Red and Blue won't even start dumping, just a black screen.

So i tried several things like, create a savegame in Yellow, reinstall Yellow or download and "install" braindump anew, but nothing worked.
Then i tried the Decrypt9 method but it was way to confusing and frustrating for me and now i'm at that point - What to do now ?

Can anybody help me with my Problem ?

 

[haloo12345]

anyone know where i can find the patches for dragon warrior 1 and 2 coby and tara versions?

I'd be interested in this too. or if anyone could help me figure out how to make one myself. I looked at the documentation posted but I don't know enough about gbc assembler to figure out how to apply what it says there.

Yeah I'm still looking for them

@TheStoneBanana I don't know if this has been asked yet, I went through the first 10 pages reading and then gave up. There's a patch at https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/876/ (assuming it's safe to link bc it's only a patch and no actual roms are provided) that turns the english version Pokemon Blue into Pokemon Green, it'd be sweet if your project worked with this rom hack.

On a side note, I couldn't get it to work with Pokemon Bank for obvious reasons but I'm guessing this would be a question that needs to be asked elsewhere.

It's a shame that by the time Nintendo will release this, we'll have already beaten them to the punch by over a year.

This project mainly focuses on Gen II hacks, but I suppose if there is enough interest, Gen I hacks in general can have patches made for them. It is worth noting, however, that the documentation that was given out here works just as well for Gen I games as Gen II games, if you want to give a shot at making something.
In terms of your question about Pokemon bank, as far as I know, it's currently impossible to interface with these mods. Perhaps when Nintendo releases their official version of G/S/C, we can get it to work. But, for right now, no dice man. Sorry.

Without really knowing what goes into Dragon Warrior's link code, I'm not going to say for sure that I could help you out. It would take time to research and pull a part, but honestly, that isn't a priority for me at the moment.

Only gs will b released as vc. :-(
I hope they will also include crystal.

If you change the title id to the offical ones it would work plus you can just transfer your save data

I played through your versions earlier this year, so it'll be nice to transfer the saves over to the official versions and send my Johto Dex to the Bank.

that trailer makes we wonder did they steal assets from this game?

Can't really steal your own assets/sprites.
