I believe IPS patch can be uploaded even here, as without original japanese ROM (which I won't provide) it's useless.
So, enjoy ;).

Look for japanese Gold with checksum 524478D4 and apply patch. Resulting CRC is FC04AC0E.

Back seal says 7/2000 and I find that interesting.

what tool can I use to calculate this checksum? i found this but its giving different values http://checksumcalculator.com/

edit: used BGB to check the checksum on the rom, seems both versions on paradise are incorrect for the patch... though I'm sure it will still work. can anyone tell me if there's a valid version of this rom on the web (no links) that has the checksum?

i use this tool to calculate checksums http://implbits.com/products/hashtab/
it creates a new tab on file properties, just go to the file and open properties..
do not need to get another program in my desktop, it's lazy friendly, since i do not need to open program, and choose or drag the files and press extra buttons..

you need the everydrive for nintendo 64
you can find the official store here:
http://krikzz.com/store/
(there is a disclaimer that you need a CIC chip, nto sure if this wil be a problem for you)
and it's a little pricey.. but you can use it to play all nintendo 64 games on your nintendo 64 (and use homebrew), so i think it's a great investment!
I need to solder that CIC Chip? And i have much car

Apply my patch to japanese ROM using "Lunar IPS" and you'll get HK Gold.

Your cart may be different version, but when this pirate came out in 2000, bootleggers bootlegged another bootleggers which resulted in multiple label variations.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Thank you everyone, use the Pocket Monster KIN (v1.1 i used) to patch it.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

HC Translations 1.1 means you have newer version with (possibly) improved translation. It's worth to dump and compare to this one.

no, an ips is a way to share the information without sharing the content from the original game
the game is actually a complete rom, but for legal reasons you can't share the rom with content from the original game..
the ips creates something like this:
"original game" minus "modified game" equals "extra or modified data" --> ips file
i am gonna use a sentence for an example

original sentence: "vins cool got loads of clones"
modified sentence aka rom hack: " vins cool got a lot of cool clones"
ips file content goes somewhat like thist:
"loads" was changed to "a lot"
insert "of cool" before "clones"

(this is very simplified)

the bootleg is a modified version of the game, and extracting it, gets you a rom. the ips file is created by calculation both game differences

fyi for anyone using a mac, you can use terminal and run the command "crc32 <rom>" to get the checksum.
thanks for the great find!

3 Years ago i buyed a Pokemon Cartridge, its like Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal.
So, i want to upload that ROM, but i don´t know how, i don´t have any FlashCart or stuff like that...

For example:
When you start the game (NEW GAME)
say this:
-----------------------------

Welcome to here! (wut)
Before you play, i need know the time!
What hour?
So! AN/NT/MG XH!
How long past?
So! XX MN?
AN/MG/NT XH XXH
now sure? AN
are you sure? NT
Sure? MG

--------------------
Mom is MUM
When you are in a town, and read the letter, say:
You are WARAB Town
You are GCITY
Pokemon is pkmn
--------------------------------
This game have a very bad translation, later i upload images.
have laggy credits, later i upload a video.

I need a flashcart to extract the rom???
(SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH)!!!!!!

Translation is as funny as the one in Vietnamese Crystal?

Vietnamese Crystal with its elf stuff is even more hilarious than this ;).

Hi, I am sorry for reviving this old thread, but a week ago I managed to play this HK Gold and I was so happy thay finally someone dumped it and uploaded (childhood memories). However, I have a problem because I have beaten Lance on E4 and after going into the Hall of Fame and puting pokeballs the screen turns white and the game restarts. It is still a white screen but I can choose the last save (which sadly isn't New Bark Town after beating e4).
Can you or someone else help me with this issue? :(
