    Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

    Of course, but only if the games can fully utilize it. Anything that is not DSi enhanced plays on DSi as if they were on a DS, so there's no real gain.

    Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

    The only worthwhile DSi-enhanced games are Pokémon Black & White and their sequels, though. Biggest feature DSi mode offers is WPA encryption. I don't care about using the cameras in the games.

    ROM Hack Pokémon Blaze Black 2 & Volt White 2

    Lazy mode not an issue, after all this is a hobby and you should work on it only when you feel like. :) I would like to see a final update of BBVW1 to put it on par with BBVW2 but that's probably one of the least interesting things you could do right now because all that's needed is to place...

    ROM Hack Is there a way to patch an original ds cartridge?

    ROM = Read-Only Memory. Therefore you can't implement any modifications into it, since it's read-only, not read-and-write. What people usually call just ROMs and you can download off the internet are actually "ROM images". An image is a file that accurately reproduces the contents of media...

    ROM Hack Pokémon Blaze Black 2 & Volt White 2

    I heard in projectpokemon forum that Dray is busy with exams, he's lowered his activity last month but I'm sure he'll be back once his real life troubles are cleared.

    Hacking best cart for 3ds xl?

    If you have money to burn get the DSTwo. Otherwise, go for the R4i Gold. The Acekard 2i used to be a good card as well but so far the team hasn't been able to crack latest 3DS protection (either that or they gave up on the card, because no updates).

    Hacking Which Flash Cart Should I Get?

    Forgot to say thanks, I finally got my DSTwo although I don't have a dedicated Micro SD card for it yet, but I just used my smartphone's card to do the firmware update. Didn't lose much by formatting the card apart from some photos and vids I didn't care about. Worked like a charm in a DSi...

    Hacking Which Flash Cart Should I Get?

    Hi, I just ordered a SuperCard DSTwo from an online shop. The shop offers to update the cart only if I buy a Micro SD card bundled with the flashcart, but I chose to buy only the DSTwo because I wanted to buy the Micro SD card from a trusted vendor I know. Let's say I have a DSi already updated...

    ROM Hack Pokémon Sacred Gold & Storm Silver

    I don't recommend because Nintendo's check will catch a Pokémon caught in an impossible location in the vanilla games.

    ROM Hack Pokemon Origin Platinum

    This is an amazing project! Platinum is one of my favourite Pokémon games, it's nice to see someone finally hacking it in style! Are you going to incorporate Pokémon changes as well? If Drayano is ok with it, you could port his SGSS changes over to Platinum, although it's probably better that...

    ROM Hack Pokémon Sacred Gold & Storm Silver

    I have a question, I could probably find it out myself but I don't have a SGSS save so... Is it possible to use PokéGen to give yourself more of the items that were added to the game like Voltaic Ore, etc.? Unfortunately I can't give myself those items with regular AR codes, as they were made...

    ROM Hack Pokémon Sacred Gold & Storm Silver

    In these handheld games, random events work by time. It's like a roulette which you stop with a given command (like, talking to an NPC to receive a Pokémon). However, if you stop the roulette at the same time always, you'll always get the same Pokémon (same IVs, same nature, same gender). This...

    ROM Hack Pokémon Sacred Gold & Storm Silver

    I understand your point of view, but something got in my mind after I thought about it. How do you plan to implement the actual travel of the character to Kanto? Because, for example, in the current version it's like in the original game, you go through Routes 26 and 27, then Victory Road, and...

    ROM Hack Pokémon Sacred Gold & Storm Silver

    Doing the Kanto gyms first would be interesting, because the Kanto gyms aren't supposed to have stronger Pokémon than the Elite Four! But, on the other hand, I'm a purist... One of the reasons I enjoy this hack is because it's a beefed up HGSS and changing too much would kind of spoil the fun to...

    ROM Hack Pokémon Sacred Gold & Storm Silver

    You need to change Espeon's gender rate as well, otherwise you may end up with a male Espeon when you evolve Eevee.

    Last time I played a game was hmmm... can't exactly recall. :wacko:

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.

    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
