ROM Hack Magnius's Pokemon Soul Silver Translation

[Finnboghi]

what you mean v2.2? do you mean v2.0?? i dont want an obsolete version!!

v2.2 is a beta.

v2.0 is the released version.

v2.2 just has a few more translations, and is a stepping stone while working towards v3.

It's only a matter of time before the next version comes out, so you might as well just use whichever one you have until it does.

IF THE PATCH DID NOT WORK FOR YOU:

Try putting everything in the C: drive and running it from there. It fixed all my problems for some reason.

Ahaha....you do know that, unless you have multiple drives....everything is IN the C: drive...right? The Desktop is in the C: drive, programs folder is in there, EVERYTHING.


PS: Magnius, can you PLEASE listen to everyone for once and put the pictures on page 1 ina spoiler tag? It takes forever to load otherwise.

It doesn't matter WHERE it is. Anywhere in the drive or a directory in the drive works. If it doesn't, then it means the person probably is either not doing something right, or doesn't have the proper .NET stuff.

i cant find the patch file, but i know itll work if i can

 

[KBFAL14]

never mind, i think i found it

 

[WataruKun]

what's the differnce between V1 & 2?

You know what, read the first post. I'm sick of saying it over and over again.

 

[lachlan10411]

i patch and in diff folder it comes up with pokemon soul silver eglish v2_patch.is that the file???

 

[WeakNiZ]

Did you name the original "pokemon soul silver eglish v2" is so, then yah it is.

@sonic32136: I hope you didn't apply the v2 patch on top of a ROM that was already patched with v1. The patches are released in a manner that requires them to be applied to a clean ROM every time. If you attempt to apply the patch to a ROM with an older version of the patch, it will not patch correctly.

@WataruKun: Nicely done so far, especially with the Pokédex work. Good luck with v2.3 or v3, whichever is coming next.

Well yes, I meant the root. I tried it in a folder somewhere. Did not work after trying about 20 times correctly. I'm on XP SP# with .NET 3.5.

I copy and pasted the same setup to the root C: drive and it worked on the first try.

Someone posted this tip earlier and I was just hoping that if anyone else could not get it to work they would see it.

All these nubbie questions seem to be pissing Wataru off... maybe you guys should ask Google before he dies of a stroke from all the stupid questions.
Good work so far man, don't let the ignorant masses mess this up for everyone else

Edit: Okay, so I read over my post, and it seemed a little mean, so... I'm sorry if it seems that way. I just know if I was him I'd be telling the newbs to shut the hell up and go fix it themselves by now. Lord knows how many useless and already answered questions are in this thread.

Ok, this is the be-all-and-end-all patching bug fix:

Put EVERY file into the same directory; xdelta3, xdeltaGUI, the patch and the (unmodified!) ROM.

Once everything is in the same folder, run xdeltaGUI. On Vista, you may need to run as admin, simply because it modifies files that it doesn't 'own'.

Ensure the "Patch" tab is selected, as opposed to the "Create" tab.

Click on the "Select Patch" button - it should open up a prompt asking you to find the patch in the same directory that xDelta is in, which should also be the location of the patch. If it does not, navigate there.

v2.2's patch file is named .patch, which is hidden on many systems. If you can't see it, enable viewing of hidden files (Google it if you don't know how).

Once you've selected the patch, click on "Select ROM".

A similar prompt will open, though this time it should be in the same place that the patch file was (which, conveniently, is the same place as the ROM... Right?).

Select your ROM - it must be unmodified (including trimming), and must be a .nds file.

Click "Apply patch".

It may take a few minutes, depending on a multitude of conditions.

The new file will be called "(Name of old ROM)_patched.nds".

Place this file in your emulator, R4, AK2i, whatever you use, and you should now have a (at least partially) translated game.

Reasons this can fail

If you do not have a new enough version of the .NET framework, this will not work. The simplest solution is to use Google to find the newest version compatible with your setup, and install it.

If the files are in the wrong places, this will not work. The xDelta GUI searches for the xDelta app based on the position of the Patch and ROM files. If all four are in the same folder, this will not be a problem.

If your patch is damaged or incorrect, this will not work. If all else fails, try redownloading the patch - a broken patch file can't properly patch anything.

If your ROM is modified, this will not work. Ensure that the ROM you're using is original - not translated, patched, trimmed or modified in any other way. If you're unsure, decompress or redownload your ROM, and try again. If it still doesn't work, try playing the original file and ensure that it works to begin with.

If all else fails, try removing the spaces from the ROM's file name. In rare cases, this can cause problems.

I hope this helps someone successfully patch without having to ask.

This has been asked before. The answer is yes. Watarukun, you should post noob questions on the front page, even if they may not look. Some may have commonsense enough to look there.
