THIS IS ALL FROM REDDIT PLZ TELL ME IF I DID SOMETHING WRONG



So, I recently got cfw on my 3ds and I am enjoying it. But after I played with all the hacks and etc, I got back into legal stuff like starting a Pokemon living dex. I then thought about shines and how they are super hard to get and take a long time.

So I asked a question on the Q&A about whether there is an automatic shiny hunter with input redirection. The person that replied said that there was none and that I would have to program it??? and the person asked that if I have cfw then why don't I just gen it in? So why don't I just gen it in? Becuase of the adventure, the random IVs, and Nature, (I KNOW YOU CAN MAKE THESE RANDOM IN PKHEX) and also the bond and stuff like that. lol, don't care just want legit shiny :)

Would this be a good idea? Am I posting this at the right place? Do you guys even care? (jk) Are the mods going to delete this? (probably)

Thanks

then,

"You could make an input machine pretty easily. The hard part is knowing when it's a shiny. That would probably require hooking into the game to read values. If there was a cheat engine for 3ds, and the 3ds could run it along side the game, then it would be possible. Maybe NTR could do it, I'm not sure how that actually works."

I replied,

"Ok. It is really EASY!. All you have to do is find if the bottom screen stays black-ish for longer when you find an encounter. Because the shiny sparkles add an extra second."

then,

"Okay, that should do. It would require a bit of work, but I suppose you could take a screenshot of the bottom screen while in the overworld, while it's black, and while in a battle, then once you're running the program, have it take screenshots of the bottom screen before inputs, and compare it to the ones you took before for an exact match. You'd need to go offline though, so you don't get that pesky PSS displaying messages and ruining it. I guess you could try pitching all of this to gbatemp, they'd probably be able to actually get it working."


DO YOUR WORK!

Thanks!

    The snack that smiles back, Ballsack!
  • 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
