Homebrew PCHex - Homebrew PKHex

[Stracker]

Is nature editting possible yet?

Oh man, completely forgot about nature, I added it to my todo list

if possible can you show Pokemon Shiny Value and Trainer Shiny Value
TSV=int((ID xor SID) / 16)
PSV=int((PID HID xor PID LID) / 16)

I'll give a look at it

TSV=int((TID xor SID) / 16)

TID=4293 SID=65266
Converted to hexadecimal
TID=A7BF SID=FEF2
A7BF xor FEF2=594D
Ignore the first number D
594 Converted into decimal 1428
TSV=1428
-------
PSV=int((PID HighID xor PID LowID) / 16)

PID= D5418C05 HighID=D541 LowID=8C05
D541 xor 8C05=5944
Ignore the first number 4
594 Converted into decimal 1428
PSV=1428

Could you add an "Illegal Mode", like when you rename PKHeX to PKHaX?

Btw great app, I just tried yesterday and it worked nicely.

So I've been working on this for a little while and was giving update on the 3FHex's projects thread, but this is now getting to the state where it deserves its own thread. So here is my latest project : PCHex, a homebrew port of PKHex.

Screenshot for good measure

The project has been advancing steadily since I started, what it can do right now is :
- Load a save directly from cartridge / software
- Access the box data and the pokemons inside
- Edit the Pokemons (Currently you can edit EVs/IVs, Experience and PID (including shinify)
- Export the save to the SD Card (Not exporting directly to save data just yet for security reasons)

It's coded in C, is open-sourced, and has a shitty terminal-based UI so far
It's still very WIP, so bear that in mind when testing !

Current short term goals are :
- Finish Pokemon editing, so that you can change a bit more about the pokemons
- Import and insert PK6 Files, maybe export them.
- Export the savefile directly back to software

On the longer term, I'll probably start working on a graphical UI, and maybe start taking suggestions on what to do next.

For those interested in trying it out, I uploaded the latest version on the post just down below, just extract in your 3ds folder and run with homebrew launcher.
The save is extracted to /3ds/PCHex/, you'll have to uses some other utility to inject it for now

If anyone wants to help, I'll direct you to the github repo

That's all for now, thanks for reading and please leave any feedback you have !

I was thinking here, and saw that the blargSnes homebrew, accepts the touch screen function. It would be possible in future versions of PCHex, have the same function? It would help a lot to edit the pokemon.

He actually has "graphical UI" as a long term goal on the OP. But for now he's focusing on finishing pokémon editing which is still missing basic stuff (you can't nickname, foreign characters get messed, etc).

There really is still small details to be added. I think nature and nickname are the next goals. But now I just have to thank for this homebrew so cool and helpful.

It's practically impossible to handle foreign characters in the 3ds terminal UI, I won't be touching that until i'm starting with a graphical UI.
I'll probably do a nickname thing but it'll be very basic, letters and numbers and a few other chars, since typing isn't at the best place either

@Stracker : got a question for you, will this eventually detect a .CIA games save file?

Thanks in advanced for your reply

 

[ChicagoMel]

Can't wait to try it.

Can't wait to try it.

It works well, but can't edit natures. So to anybody who wants to use natures in 0.4.1 just use PKHex to make a hatched Pokémon of every competitive nature you want and use PCHex's clipboard (copy/paste) function to make a clone, paste it, then just edit from there.

 

[Kaphotics]

Ignore the relearn (egg moves) section too, because that's not used in legality checking.

it certainly is used

It is used. I've had pokemon with incorrect eggs moves and they couldn't be traded.

Back on topic:
For the long term "UI", I'm imagining the pokemon boxes showing on the bottom screen and when you view a pokemon in the box, its info appears on the top screen to be edited. You'll be able to set, delete, or view much like PKHex.

Really? I've had no trouble with it.

 

[Minecraftlol]

Tried it, it works but I'm not sure how to set OT and original game ID. Can you make it so the pokemon is in the pokedex?

If it doesn't register by simply changing species then resaving try this:

- resave
- (optional) open game to confirm
- put the mons on your pokebank
- save within bank
- (no need to start game here - just go right back in) take them out of bank
- save again
> they should now be registered.

It's a trick I picked up back in the Spider days with Ramsav. If that does fail then ignore the "no need to" etc bit and do do that.

Yes I see your point, but bank is a paid service, and pokemon like Volcanion can't go in bank

They actually can (used it to move a hacked hoopa, volcanion, and eternal floette from one game to another), but if you leave then withdraw them from the daycare, they should register in the pokedex.

And if you need mass registering like Bank could do, the latest version of PKHeX auto-registers them if you import them as boxdata/pcdata.bin, so you can just export your entire box data then re-import it.

 

[GrimReaper1724]

Would it be possible to add a way to change the Trainer ID and the OT?

And also have it where you can change the region. Like say you want a pidgey with transfer moves from kanto. Lol
