ROM Hack Pokémon Sacred Gold & Storm Silver

[Chaosruler]

yeah, I ordered an Acekard 2i anyway I looked it up first and it was recommended over R4 in almost every case I saw so...
ANYWAY......because I want to stay on the topic of the thread I have a few questions for Drayano (or anyone else who might know) 1) Why aren't Natures editable in Pokesav? Or is that just a problem I'm having? 2) Can u find both forms of Shellos in this game? If so where because idt the document specifies? 3) Can u edit the Gender Ratios of Eevee, Togepi, and Chikorita to 50-50? I really want female Togekiss, Meganium, Espeon, Glaceon, and Leafeon and I never understood how Togepi could be considered masculine lol 4) Last question, is there any way to edit the items your Mom buys with your money to be a bit less...y'know...useless?

1. natures being uneditable with pokesav has nothing to do with the hack, the hack modifities the ROM itself, the save file structure remains untouched even if he edited the ROM natural scripting and engine it shouldn't affect the save file structure, meaning that the save file can be used even if the ROM is clean (unmodded, being reguler HG\SS), maybe you are doing it wrong with pokesav
2. shellos was made in the pokedex with both forms, both forms available naturally in the ROM itself (I obtained them) at the same place
3. gender ratio can be edited, yes, the "swarm" has its own code of "appearence", the same values you get while loading\changing a pokemon in pokesav he can change, everything that doesn't have to do with the RNG, and even RNG he can affect, simply adding to the pool more "availabilty" to male\female is a value change on 16bit address, however "obtained" pokemon has either two forms of being "already written" or "having data structured by the RNG", mostly are the first form, I am not sure if gender value is part of the second form but if it's not, it's part of the script, which is changeable but very difficult to access and read (first to find) unless he uses some kind of decrypter (if it even exists as of now), but possible - it is
4. I think the items mom buys you are not scripted, I actually think they are part of the engine, they exist in the ROM code but it is very tough to find them, it's possible to change them since they exist, like changing values of special encounters (ex level of zekrom, it's simply finding that address and value that "talks" about Zekrom and reading on till it "talks" about the data of Zekrom ".pkm" structure and within it, the level, and to change it) I am pretty sure Mom's items are nearly the same way but finding Zekrom is easier as his "encounter" address is not as difficult to find, to find that "scripted" in the engine code of Moms buying (and all the other pokegear-item related contacts) you need to actually search for the values of those items and keep on searching until the syntax and the "rest of the garbage" around it sounds like it's the code and start poking and testing with it (changing the value to another value and test if the result are as planned), I believe it's very possible and once we find the value, the address is a poking-time away, the value I imagine would be easier to find if we guess on 2 items code (meaning it being 2x8bit code = 16bit code = 4 hex string searching all over the ROM, again it's kinda heavy, the entire ROM is 256 megabyte, which is 2048 gigabit, we are looking for specific string of 16bit code, with hex editor it's a minutes of work, but I don't know how much Drayano works well with hex editors (of course you could say that we could "delete" the zero'ed cartridge part of the ROM and decrease it to 160MB zone, process which is called trimming, but that still doesn't change the fact that Drayano needs to know how to work with specific tool to do that)

oh..wow haha thanks so much! to be perfectly honest im an amateur hacker and didnt really understand a lot of what u said but im not gonna make u explain it all. I wasnt specific enough though. When I said "can you" i didnt mean "how would I be able to" I mean "can u please do it for the next update" also i just realized that he has changed the mom items as i just recieved a bunch of kasib berries lol. i had first recieved a super potion and assumed they still sucked. as for the gender ratios though, even though i was requesting that they be changed, isnt there an easier way than what u described? idk about gen 4 but for gen 3 i have a program where u can just go in and edit the ratios w/o scripting or hex code or anything like that. its very user friendly. (or n00b friendly shall i say which i am )
I'm definitely not doing anything wrong in pokesav...at least idts...i just loaded my .sav file and clicked view data on the pkmn I wanted to edit and the Nature Tab was Grayed out so that it couldnt be edited. It worked for BB/VW so idk why not for SG/SS...
@Drayano Also, why are all of Bugsy's Pokemon Female? ...you do know he's a boy right...? o.0

1. mmm ._. suggestions =/= Questions
2. Gen 3 ROMs is both more decrypted and is smaller ROM, meaning it is not suprising it's easier to find it, again it's changeable but you need to find those values in the ROM itself, of course if a hacker and dev managed to find those addresses he can simply make a software that writes to those addresses the right values by simply developing it
3. maybe it was grayed out because it was locked to that nature via PID? be more creative, also PID is formulad as well as RNG'ed, meaning it's value is both affected by luck and configured values such as nature, gender etc, those configured values differ between GEN V and GEN IV, actually there are less values to be taken in GEN V, so I am not suprised you can fuck more easily with PIDs on GEN V rather then GEN IV, now a thing about pokesav, it's code and it's handling is long outdated, use pokegen if you want the software to use updated resources to load your PID, I actually think it was even done automaticilly but don't trust me there, what you are doing is like browsing the same website with older smartphone instead of newer one, of course you can do it but don't be suprised if there is much more updated flash player, html5 analyzer and so on, it will affect your browsing
4. does that really bother you? ._. between us I am pretty sure those values of gender of pokemon gym leader are already found and even softwared and "dumbed down" for anyone to edit the ROM and switch it to male, you can do it yourself, the ROM hack is not encrypted you can take it and edit it and then patch it
5. I wouldn't fill suggestions to this ROM hack because
a. he clearly stated he's not gonna work on this ROM hack until he's finished with another one, meaning you can consider this ROM hack "suspended" in development
b. he has a very large amount of bugs to fix, it's not that easy to track the source, sometimes it's a simple syntax error sometimes it's an error that made a loop of errors in his coding and scripting, don't count on it, but to analyze it, it takes time
c. those are pretty minor requests compared to whats really missing

I am not saying don't suggest, I am saying don't fill his desk with junk before he cleared his old junk, he won't remember\care about minor suggestions because when he returns to development of this hack, he's gonna have a lot to deal with ._.

I have download this game and i am stuck at the Shellder tack over..

 

[TimothyPhantomhi]

sorry i got newbie question here, i downloaded the storm silver version which still got the olivine crash bug, can anyone please tell me whether i have to re download the fixed rom, or i can patch from using the files mentioned? how do i run the patch? because it wont run when i clicked it. thanks in advance.

Oh well it's not that I care so much about when or even if these suggestions are done I wasnt trying to force them on anyone sorry if it came out sounding like that... oh and no i dont really care about the bugsy thing it just made me laugh because I though he was a girl at first too

no you have to redownload the updated patch the most recent version is 1.5 where that glitch has already been fixed. You cant patch an already patched ROM. I'm not sure exactly what u mean by how do u run the patch...If you mean how do u apply it, there is a program already provided that should patch a clean SS ROM (provided you have already downloaded one) though I cant remember what the program's called...hope that helped.

 

[Mirai101]

Hi all, sorry if this may of been answered at some point in the previous 80+ pages but is there any way to play silver/gold on a CycloDS Evolution? Haven't found a way to get past the black screen problem on the roms I have.

Thanks.

i asked this before and no go get a supercard two or something better then cyclonds the flash cart has not been update more then a year.

yeah taht helped, thanks. so this means that i have to start over.. thanks again man

 

[Chaosruler]

No, you don't...
save file structure match any type of ROM within similar name to the NDS loader, unless save is specified by a folder or battery file on emulators...
the ROM won't change the save file structure meaning it can work both for another version patched of this ROM, other game hacks of this ROM and the clean state of this ROM, actually because it matchs on both Silver and Gold you can switch around them, both on the original GBC games and those NDS remakes

hey guys . just wonderin' , is the blaze black 2 in full english ?

Current Version: 1.05​

Last Updated: 1st June, 2012, 22:19 GMT

Summary
Sacred Gold and Storm Silver are the fourth set of hacks/edits I've done now; others you might be familiar with are Pokémon Fire Red Omega, Pokémon Spirit Gold, and for those of you native to GBAtemp, Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White. Given that it's one of my hacks, it has a pretty similar style in the sense that all Pokémon are available, there's an increased difficulty curve, there are (optional) changes to Pokémon to make some of them better etcetera. You may wonder why I've chosen to make another HG/SS hack when I've done Spirit Gold previously; the answer to this question is that Spirit Gold never really took full advantage of the tools available for DS games, particularly in terms of scripting. Compared to Spirit Gold, Sacred Gold and Storm Silver are full of new scripted events and other aesthetic changes to make it both full of content and a pleasure to look at.

Changes to the Games
While the base of the game is the same (e.g. the maps, the storyline, the general order of main events) the two hacks still manage to bring a new series of features to the table to spice up the gameplay experience, including:

• 493 Pokémon (i.e. all Pokémon available in the fourth generation) can be obtained somehow within the game. Legendaries are somewhat restricted, but otherwise you can build your team with pretty much anything you want. Almost all Pokémon are available prior to the first round of the Elite Four! In addition, you also receive the National Dex the moment you get the Pokédex, making it that much easier to track what you have and haven't caught. There are some minor changes in Wild encounters between Sacred Gold and Storm Silver, but all 493 are available in both.

• Trainers have received new rosters to tie in with the greater variety of Pokémon available (explained by a 'migration wave' to the regions). This means you'll be battling a much larger variety of Pokémon than you'll see previously. Gym Leaders and other important trainers in particular have received a large boost to their difficulty, so get ready to take on some hard fights! As with the rest of my hacks, Gym Leaders, Elite Four members etcetera all use six Pokémon in each fight. New Trainer battles have also been added where appropriate; examples include the option to battle Ethan/Lyra, Cynthia and Steven.

• The data of a lot of Pokémon has been changed; this can mean just extra level-up moves, but features such as abilities, experience rates, TM compatibility and even types might be changed. Most of these are carried over from Blaze Black & Volt White, but the hack has brought some new ideas to the table. For those of you who prefer a purer Pokémon experience, the 'Classic' version offered has these Pokémon edits removed.

• A small amount of attack moves have also been edited. All moves that were given some sort of change in Black & White have had the same change applied to them in Sacred Gold & Storm Silver where possible, as well as some additional edits to make Cut, Strength and Rock Smash more useful than their previous counterparts. A large amount of Pokémon have been given extra level-up moves in some form to make them easier to raise.

• Edits to evolutions mean Sacred Gold and Storm Silver are self-contained (i.e. you do not need to trade to obtain all the Pokémon). In most cases, this simply turns the item needed for evolution by trade into a usable item much like an evolution stone, though for some cases where evolution is either awkward or impossible in HG/SS (e.g. Leafeon, Glaceon, Magneton, Nosepass...) some new items have been added; this keeps consistency with previous items.

• The availability of items has been changed quite wildly in general; all evolution items and TMs are now available at least once prior to the first round of the Elite Four, meaning you can shape your team up quite well for what's not even the final challenge in the game!

• On that note, some things have been changed just to make things in the game a lot more convenient. Examples include an EXP Share available in Violet City, the removal of most unnecessary Cut trees and other annoying HM moments, and the addition of buyable evolution stones to some of the shops around the regions. The numbers of Gym Leaders are also now much easier to obtain--they're given to you directly after the battle! Coins can also now be purchased from the Goldenrod Game Corner.

• A wide variety of scripted events have been both added and edited. The levels of most event Pokémon that already existed are now raised, but there are lots of new events for the purpose of giving you new Pokémon, items or TMs. Notables include an Eevee given to you by Cynthia extremely early in the game, the addition of a Teleport system in the Elite Four to let you challenge them in any order á la Black & White, a Team Rocket takeover of Route 47 and the Safari Zone and a Shellder and Cloyster siege in Fuchsia City. Yes, you read that right. Every newly added legendary has also had some sort of script concocted for it, so you won't be just finding them in the wild as you did with Blaze Black and Volt White. The Game Corner's prizes have also been edited; you can get a Porygon in Goldenrod City, if you so choose.

• Trades within the game have also been both edited and shifted around to make getting some hard-to-place Pokémon a bit more convenient. Examples include the ability to trade for Pokémon such as Gligar, Skarmory, Beldum and Smoochum. They even have a move ordinarily learned by TM, or not at all!

• Some small aesthetical edits have been made, e.g. Karen has a new background for her battle and Lance now uses Cynthia's background from DPPt instead of his own. Some attempt has also been made at engaging the world more in its inter-regional Pokémon change by having Hoenn and Sinnoh overworld sprites appear in various places. Some DP trainers also make an appearance, though this was a late feature and has yet to be fully fleshed out due to time constraints. There's also a fairly hefty addition of Black & White sprites to the table, particularly for Hoenn Pokémon. The main Pokémon also now have seals attached to give them a more personalised appearance. Finally, text has been edited such that all Pokémon names are decapitalised (so Pidgeotto rather than PIDGEOTTO, for instance.) There's also been one or two bits of dialogue that have been changed back to their GSC version.

• Some extra bits of 'story' have been added, though it's admittedly very little and was also a late addition so it's not entirely fleshed out yet, but it focuses on the idea of a 'Legendary Trainer' who can meet the 'creator' and the hunting down of the Plate items. Might be something to focus on in a later release.

• The game has had a variety of blockades added to it to increase the linearity of the story. While this may sound odd/bad, it serves as a way to increase the level curve of Johto, which in the original games was quite poor. Basically this means you're forced to go to Cianwood first instead of Mahogany, and the Kanto region also forces you to take a certain route to give it more of an 'objective'.

:: KazoWAR: His tutorial on inserting sprites in HG/SS was important in order to get that Steven sprite in.
:: Dewgong/Frostbite: For the Steven trainer sprite added to the game.
:: Various GBAtemp / YouTube Members: For your continued support and ideas during the production of SG/SS.
:: Jhon 591 of Romulation: For his significantly improved HG/SS anti piracy patch which means you guys can play this game on no$gba WITHOUT it crashing every five seconds!
:: Jensei: For speeding quite fast through the game and informing me of bugs on the initial releases. Can't say it looks good on me, but it helped!
:: Early Players: I can't thank you enough for helping out with all the bugs, and apologies for making you download things so many times!

Tools Used
The main tool used in order to produce this hack was PPRE, with its Pokémon editing, script editing, overworld editing and Trainer editing features. Other tools included the ever trusty crystaltile2, some moments from Cygnus Hex Editor, and the use of programs such as Tile Molester for the one bit of sprite work I did.

Bugs, Errors & Possible Changes

Spoiler

A strikeout (example) represents that the bug has been fixed and will be eliminated in the next version release.

Spoiler

- Possible black screen and/or white screens from various events around the Safari Zone area. I'm unsure on the specifics of this one, but save often just in case. This isn't a consistent bug so it's difficult to test and fix.
- One of the battles on Route 47 can be activated from a weird position.
- The MooMoo Milk dialogue is messed up.
- Some events such as the Icicle Plate and Steven in Vermilion don't seem to work on R4?
- The Mew event freezes on some flash cards.
- Garchomp are missing their Rough Skin ability.
- Claydol doesn't actually learn Fly.
- There will be Lyra/Ethan overworld doubles if you lose against her/him in Goldenrod.
- One particular item ball causes you to gain ~450 Full Heals.
- There is a typo with the Odd Keystone's description.
- Most 30% encounters with the Super Rod for some reason produce a Missingno. as opposed to what Pokémon should be available. This occurs due to missing encounters for the 30% slot at Night!
- The important item document says Silver Wind is in Route 39; it's actually Route 38.
- The names for the Gentleman/Socialite on Route 34 haven't stuck.
- Double trainer battle in Route 13 has a messed up name.
- Steven will not acknowledge the Lati event after capturing Regigigas regardless of the Lati event's progress.
- The Celebi event involving your rival/Giovanni etc will result in a freeze when it reaches Tohjo Falls.
- Cynthia may refuse to give you the Sinnoh starter if you talk to her after getting the Earth Badge.
- Scizor learns Night Shade instead of Night Slash.
- Flags have a tendency to reset for some unknown reason. This doesn't always trigger and it's completely unknown why it occurs.
- Ledyba's Attack and Special Attack haven't been swapped as the document says.
- Prof. Oak's dialogue ignores Eevee being at the front of your party.
- Mantyke refuses to evolve by the Remoraid method.
- Feebas won't stop trying to evolve each level.
- Route 40 super rod encounters are incorrect.
- Vespiquen lacks its new Intimidate ability.
- Meganium is missing Natural Cure.
- Golbat does not have Anticipation.
- Illumise isn't Bug/Electric even in the complete versions.

- I'm considering allowing you to access Route 38 and Route 39 again before you defeat Morty. Lowers the levels a tiny bit, though...
- Probably need to make Corsola more common somewhere because of the Super Rod glitch.

Version 1.0.3 - 26th May, 2012
Further fixes due to a flag error within the Safari Zone. Also adds Bulk Up Kingler.

Version 1.02 - 26th May, 2012 (Updated again shortly after to the same version number.)
Problem with some flags fixed that meant events weren't disabled/enabled correctly for certain players. This changes the flag setting to ALWAYS occur, but for people who are ahead, do not wish to restart their save files and are finding themselves unable to get Surf due to a dance theater blockade, download this version and head to Olivine Pokemon Center and talk to a woman with blue hair to sort your problems out.

If you are starting a New Game, then I would update to this version. If you are on 1.0.1 and you aren't finding your way into the dance theater blocked, then there's no immediate need to update to the next version.
Additionally some small documentation changes have been added since I forgot to list a couple items.

Version 1.0.1 - 26th May, 2012
Game-breaking freeze bug in Olivine City fixed. The rival coming out of the gym would initially freeze the game.
Some extra bits added to to the documents.

Version 1.0.0 - 25th May, 2012
Initial release.

Version Clarification
There are two options for players of Sacred Gold & Storm Silver; the Complete version or the Classic version.

The Complete version includes every single change I have made to the game. It's the same idea as BB/VW's Full version.
The Classic version includes most changes but excludes any changes made directly to Pokémon (stats, types, TM compatibility, level up move changes etc). It's the same idea as BB/VW's Clean version.

Download Links
The patch includes the anti piracy patch already, so you will need to use a clean Heart Gold or Soul Silver ROM to get these to work. The HGSS rom should be American.

Hey there man, it's me TheUzigunner from youtube, apparently my country, Bangladesh has banned us from accessing youtube due to those assholes who made the anti muslim movie and are not willing to take the video down. Hence this is my only option of communicating with u. Any way ignore what that Katho something said about the video being fake. Please check out the video wihich Tyranitartube made as I am preety sure is damn real and please read my last comments on youtube they r certainly worth it. But since I actually will not know how I will understand that u replied, just know that my email is [email protected], and please tell me how to know. Cheersn

Found a random bug when I decided to do the trainer rematches since you did take the time to edit them
Alfred the Gentleman in the Olivine Lighthouse, all three of his Pokemon (Noctowl, Arcanine, and Nidoking) have no moveset and will just use struggle in his highest level rematch

When Tuscany of Tuesday gives you the Shock Ribbon, the music cuts off and the game will freeze if you try to fly or enter a building. Saving and resetting fixes this glitch though. Dunno if this happens with the other siblings

I actually found this earlier, it seems to happen with all the siblings.

I'm loving this hack so far, but I've been trying to evolve a bunch of friendship-base pokemon, and can't seem to find the soothe bell anywhere! Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but could anyone kindly let me know where that item might be? I'd appreciate it a lot!

In the original HGSS, it is in National Park. I don't know if it is there or not in SGSS, but you could check there.

Well, you might want to know that he is pretty much finished with it.
