ROM Hack AP-patch preservation

[RocketRobz]

And which game can i set as donor rom for Pokémon soulsilver ?

Mario Kart DS. Always MKDS.

I can play the rom of soulsilver with the original cartdrige of Pokémon Black 2 ?

Yes, if donor ROM is set to off.

is they a list of missing patches? i could look at my collection of stuff, too see if its in they.

 

[THYPLEX]

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.

Ive never had this problem because i played it on a dstwo and It never gave me a problem , i live that card

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

And where do i need to put those ap patches in order to make them work with on twloader ?
In a certain special gorlxe or aomesomet like that ?

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.

OneDrive link, if there's issues: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AqGeeLfCS_WfxxDNO3jz2tL9_Kl6

It includes any AP-patch I've found, including RetroGameFan's OpenPatch app, (howto included, written by me).
This also will be useful for nds-bootstrap users, since it does not include built-in AP-patching.

well you need something like xdelta patcher to patch the rom's yourself.

like how you would patch a rom to get translation, you do the same with Anti privacy aka AP.

I can't find the AP Patch for the english fantranslation of Gyakuten Kenji 2. I looked in the entire OneDrive folder.

Try patching it with the AP patch first, then patch the AP-patched ROM with the english patch.

I also can't find the AP Patch for the original rom, so that's a problem.

It's in this path:

RetroGameFan's Game Patches from DS-Scene ROM tool\xdelta files by dubbz82

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

It's in this path:

N-no it isn't. Searching for "Gyakuten Kenji" yields no results.

 

[RocketRobz]

N-no it isn't. Searching for "Gyakuten Kenji" yields no results.

It yielded no results, because you have not scrolled down. Scoll down 'til you see "5532 - Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Japan)".
If you still do not see it, here's a direct link to the patch.

It ends for me at 4551. Thanks for the direct link, though.

I tried doing what you said. xdelta doesn't let me apply the translation to the ap-patched rom, but I found this on the thread of the fan translation:

The person who posted it said it was an AP patch. How do I apply it to the translated rom?

The Black 2/White 2 scene releases you find are actually incorrectly dumped, they're missing the DSi section so the hash won't match.

Use a hex-editor, and go to the first mentioned location, and copy and paste the bytes to the location.
Do the same for the next location and bytes.

This is extremely embarassing, but I can't for the love of god hex edit. I'm using HxD. Is the column on the left side that is title "Offset (h)" the location? Also, if it IS the location, when I go to 00004640, do I just paste the bytes there at the start of the line, or do I select a part that's equally as big and then replace it to not change the file size? I also can't find 000049F8. (I'm so sorry for wasting your time but I really don't know how this works..)

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

UPDATE: NVM I did it lmao

 

[Mikemk]

In case it's unclear still:
The left column is the location of the first byte in the row. The top row is the offset in that row. Add the two to get the location.

@Robz8

Good day. I'm working on a portable Python .nds patcher, which supports OpenPatch's patch format. Is there a way to convert patches from xdelta3's VCDIFF to plaintext, to your knowledge?

 

[The Catboy]

I noticed the FF Crystal Chronicles - Ring of Fates USA AP patch was missing. So I upped both of them to the Download center
https://gbatemp.net/download/final-...es-ap-fix-ips-d-n-d-method-usa-version.35125/

 

[pilladoll]

It's just the thing i'm need to play some games with Dsimenu++

Thanks for the hard work of searching and sharing them.
