How to Patch Pokemon Black and White
THIS THREAD IS NO LONGER ACTIVE ON GBATEMP.NET, I HAVE A STILL CONTINUED THREAD ON ANOTHER SITE. IT HOSTS ROM'S THOUGH SO I CANNOT LINK TO IT. GO THERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. IT HAS OVER 18 FIXES FOR POKEMON BLACK AND WHITE, AND I HELP EVERYONE WHO ASKS. IF YOU WANT INFO OR WANT TO VIEW THIS TOPIC IN MORE DETAIL, FIND IT ON THE INTERNET. SEARCH AROUND, IT WILL BE THERE.
This is a tutorial on how to patch pokemon black and white into English. It also includes the AP fix patch and exp fix patch, along with some firmware patches (if you call them that), the No$Gba fix and now, how to play Pokemon B/W on a TTDS plus how to patch the game if it freezes during evolution. I will update this post with the latest patches if I can, and all the patches here are confirmed (by me) to be working.
Please leave comments and feedback after reading this post, every comment counts, even if it is to criticize me, I still want to hear it. If you need help of any sort, ask me in a reply or via PM
This tutorial addresses the following:
A program to extract .rar and .7z files
A DS cart (any will do, though I use R4 in this) or DS emulator
A micro SD USB or other method of using Micro SD on your computer
Downloads for the main tutorial and patches
I have compiled all the necessary tools for this tutorial into one simple .rar file
I have not included the clean roms nor have I included the firmware patches. The firmware hacks are available via the link below, but I do not supply the clean roms, you need to find them yourself
