Hey guys! Need some help on a few problems I have encountered.

I bought Pokemon Chaos Black off eBay, and after a month or so and getting stuck, I tried to edit it and remove the water blocking the path in MT. Moon. I then hooked it up to my Xploder cheat cartridge and tried to hook it up with Little Writer. I didn't know how to use it but for some reason it didn't work which I thought it wouldn't, but I pressed the delete card and that worked which I thought wouldnt now I need to put the game back on the card and have no idea how to.

Also I have a problem with a Fire Red I bought off the market, whenever I get to a match it goes to a black screen but the music plays. So I could do with help on trying to fix it. Same with an Emerald I bought but that save corupts when I beat Elite4.

I'm asking what do I need so I can restore these cards and so I can play them again. If I need any card writers please tell me what I need and prices pref. under £10. Thanks in advance, I really need help on this stuff I'm such a noob at this stuff.

Pokemon Chaos Black is a hacked version of fire red, your on your own for finding a fix for the fake game. I had to look up what chaos black was on google to answer this and I already came across enough sources of the fake rom.

If you got those off of ebay, the fire red and emerald, they might also be fake versions of the game hacked in a way that would give you such a glitched. I do not play pokemon to give you an exact answer on that one.

You can use the Little Writer to put it back on, since you used it to erase the game. If your looking for a cable you can find on on http://shop01media.com/default.asp .


This site lists alot of fake pokemon games and what they look like:

Be a little smarter next time when you buy a fake pokemon game from ebay.

I realised they are fakes, but I bought Emerald from a legit video game shop so I have no idea why that has gone wrong.

I have a pokemon map editor so I can remove the part that makes the player stuck.

Thanks for the info, is LittleWriter easy to use? I found it tough when I tried to use it, and what setting would I need to put the rom onto the cartridge? It's just got a picture of the game on the front so I have no idea.

If your patching the game to remove elements and using cheats at the same time, that is what is causing your random crashes.

I don't care if you knew it was a fake or not.

"Be a little smarter next time when you buy a fake pokemon game from ebay." refers to that above.

I meant that I tried to hook the games to littlewriter by using xploder I didn't use the cheats. I know they wouldn't work but I thought the USB lead might be able to do it but it didn't, but it deleted the game when I clicked remove.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
