Maybe you knew about this already maybe you didn't, but I don't think it has been publicized enough yet.

This section can be found in the extracted text of Platinum (and HGSS for the record, although it's in Japanese obviously):
View TXT file. Decided not to spoiler it because it's so long.

As you can see by browsing through there a debug menu exists and is capable of a ton of cool stuff. A friend of mine said this was more like a debug application than a menu and he's probably right; it's huge.

I'm hoping by posting this that I can get somebody more technically inclined than myself interested. There's ways of finding out how to access such a thing, no? Needless to say if you succeed in that or just have some thoughts to share please post them her.

If for some reason it can't be accessed, I suppose a part of it can be used as a cheat to overwrite a message while running the game. When the game reads it, it may activate the effect.

If all that text is there it raises the chances of it still being accessible in some way, but it's not a sure thing.
Right. I understand there's no guarantee that the actual code hasn't been removed altogether, but it seems unlikely that that is the case.

I don't know where you're going with this. It either can be accessed or it can't (because it's gone).

Have you checked to see if any Action Replay DS codes exist to allow you to do such a thing? Usually if the room is accessible, it is doable through a cheat device. So if the room is accessible, it would almost certainly have a code you can use to do it.

I'm quite sure there isn't as almost nobody knows it exists. And it's not a room, it's a menu...

but, the menu is accessible in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (Explorer of Sky)
so, i think that there's a way to HACK this "debug" menu...

It may in theory be accesible, and normally i would try but i can't be bothered doing the coding.
...and how would you go about doing that?

Hell, I'll be honest. My "this guy is full of shit" radar is going off. Does it make you feel better to pretend to know what you're talking about?

The games might both be Pokemon, but they're made by different studios. Trying to compare them is pointless.

    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
