Hello!

Since AP-patches may be disappearing due to built-in patching by flashcard firmwares, and/or dead links, I've decided to create this thread for AP-patches. :)

TWiLight Menu++ contains AP-patches for every game with AP measures, in the form of .ips files, and are applied on-the-fly by nds-bootstrap.
Alternatively, you can use DS-Scene ROM Tool to AP-patch your game.

Not recommended, but you can also check out this link.

The link above contains any AP-patch me and some others have found, including @retrogamefan's OpenPatch app, (howto included, written by me).

Just as a heads-up, it seems not all of these patches are made to work on clean dumps. I dumped my Black 2 cartridge for personal use and tried to apply these patches since my flashcart's AP handling isn't the best, but neither of the XDelta patches worked.

Every time I try to patch pokemon heartgold, I keep getting an "XD3_INVALID_INPUT" error. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if the ROM is no good, and OpenPatch gives some weird Japanese text i can't read XD

EDIT: I had a bad file, I grabbed a different one and then it worked.

Is it possible to make an AP patch by analysing game arm9 /7 code? (Is it worth it, cause pretty sure it's possible)

is someone else having trouble patching Chrono Trigger?, I used the patcher in the first link but I'm still getting the 1st portal loop, I'm using the xenophobia release and twloader 6.6.2.

all pokemon games up to black are working, you need a donor rom for pokemon D/P/P and HG/SS and a donor cart with the same chip type for pokemon B/W.
And which game can i set as donor rom for Pokémon soulsilver ?

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

Yes, that's SDK4.
I can play the rom of soulsilver with the original cartdrige of Pokémon Black 2 ?

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
