ROM Hack Pokemon HG/SS Patcher - Bloodreader

[Bloodreader]

Let's first say this:
I have seen the sticky topic about all posts about pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver being deleted, but I'm not sure if this topic also is part of this.

Introduction
During the last weeks, I have had a few very short nights. My friend asked me to create a patch for Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver, because it had a very annoying Anti-Piracy. Now, since I'm pretty experienced with NDS ROMS, (never released anything to public though) I started working on it. I have to say, it was very hard to crack this thing, and I have had a lot of help from some of my reverse-engineering friends, but I finally did it.

It never was my intention to release this patch to the big public, but my friend(the same one who asked me to make this) has convinced me to post it here.

Warning! This only worked 4 of 7 times I tested it, if it doesn't work for you, try again!


Please note that this is my OWN release, please don't redistribute this without my permission

"This only worked 4 of 7 times I tested it" o_o

that is strange, could you post something more about this patch, what it does on the rom and these things

 

[Lorch]

I will try it right now, if it works I'll confirm. You might want to upload a prepatched rom and give it to people that can't get your patcher working via pm.
I'll try the US and GER Rom, just to see if it fixes both.

is this legit?

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

are you sure its universal? what flash carts have you tested it on?

 

[Bloodreader]

Sorry for this post, didn't read the complete reply of Lorch

 

[Lorch]

I want to, because that one works for sure, but I'ts prohibited by the GBATemp rules

Just pm it instead of posting the link here. PMing rom links is no problem.
Copying on my flash cart atm, I will post if it works. Patched 2 roms just in case.

Sorry but this is still against the rules

If something works, it just works. We're talking about CODE here, not magic tricks. If you've done it correctly, it'll work every single time.

I call bullshit.

EDIT: You're free to post the source code to prove me wrong.

btw, what's with the car pictures?

btw, what's with the car pictures?

I guess that's for the size so he could upload it

Can't PM ROM links either. Is this made for HG or SS or is it for both?

Sorry, but I have just tried to put all the cracking stuff into the patcher because posting roms is not allowed. My fully cracked rom works fully, but I'm not allowed to post it here.

i think when he said it worked 4 of 7 times, he was talking about when you patched the game

It's made for both, but I did most of the testing on SS

Oh sorry I didn't know that.
US did not work 24 event freeze trying the other rom i patched.
Might just be the patcher failed as you said.
Using R4i-Gold btw. Is there a way to tell if the patcher worked?

 

[lucasbaka]

Post the source code of your patch

posting only screenshots don't prove that the patch works, we want to know what this patch does

You could always use xDelta to make a patch, posting patches is not illegal here.

It's the same. It's CODE. If it works, it works. Things go wrong when you have variables, and you haven't tested all the cases. Since we're talking about something which doesn't change spontaneously just because (it's a freaking ROM. its data it's always the same), this "it worked only few times" thing makes me dubious.

I remain skeptical. As for you others, feel free to try the patch and let us know.

I'm pretty sure this "app" should be a patcher of some sort.

bug at the patch though, click on select the rom

then a window pops up and if you close that window it will try to patch that source lol

and it's saying Finished xD
