About the grumpig:
I thought I'd ask. I'll try it out later. If it's a graphical error, then I believe I know what it is. If not, I'll have to do some testing.

I was just curious.

It would be cool if Platinum had some advanaced hack detection, though.

I'd love that sooooo much.
Didja know, in D/P, above-510 Pokemon are banned from the Wifi Battle Tower?
The game acts like it can't connect to Wifi....

Hafta test Platinum, but it makes me feel better that the 7 Garchomps in a row are legit.

He may mean EV points. You can only have a total of 510 EV points. However, the Pokemon can be hacked to have 255 in each stat, which obviously equals to over 510. (two stats at 255=510).

The DP games disallows overly hacked Pokemon in the battle tower and won't let them be added to Wifi.

I have all the tools, narcs and 709 individual files extracted, but in the hex editor, there is not text visible whatsoever. I am thinking it is a settings mistake, when I change between the various text ecoding settings, (unicode etc.) It spits out garbled characters, or even japnese... this happens in both japanese pt and english d/p. I have a pretty good idea on the placement of the 709 files in the narc file (hex), the only problem is the text. Any thoughts?

The GameID has nothing to do with the cheats. The gameID is nothing more than a HASH check. If you check the gameID on the patches that WORK with cheats you'll see that the gameID is different too.

Before, I replaced files of the same size, so all the data stayed in the same place. This caused some errors because I had to pad some files to make them the original size.

In 3.1, the files aren't padded, and are smaller than the oirginal. This causes all the data to shift.

AR codes work like hex editors. They say: Point to this location in the data, and change it to this.
However, if the data is shifted, the AR codes will be pointing to the wrong data.

I'll work on fixing the Giratina Origin form when I get to that point in the game.
I currently have 6 badges.
So that means you have to pad it, right? So that AR codes can work.
Would be awesome.

Anyways thanks a lot on fixing Giratina, I think I can play other games during that time.

Other than the Giratina freeze, nothing other than a few typos has been fixed yet.
Oh, thanks a lot!!

QUOTE(DxEggman @ Sep 30 2008, 04:00 PM) Sorry dude, you know what you're on about, I just said that cause my cheats seem to work after fixing the ID, but I only used liek one code so at least SOME cheats work fine, but not all. I'll turn on some others and check for nasty errors.

The text data is in the middle of the game. The data is only shifted after the text. This means any AR codes that affect code BEFORE the text should still work.

PS. I just fixed the Giratina in the torn world bug.

I went to test to make sure the ultra ball still didn't freeze the game. I just caught Giratina... in an ultra ball.. on my first turn/try. Fricken sweet.

Uploading 3.2 now.
As I said, thanks a ton,
and wow, congrats to you, you don't even attacked Giratina?!

I said I know about that. It won't be fixed until the weekend release. I'm only releasing serious bug fixes mid-week.

Didn't you already ask this? I already answered this questions before.

No one knows yet, but it's possible. I think the D/P save files were interchangeable, so the Pl save file should be as well.

If I recall, japanese saves worked with the English game, but English saves didn't work on the japanese one.
