ROM Hack Pokemon Shuffle Preservation Mod v1.1

[redtrainer01]

You haven't deleted your extra data. You need to do this BEFORE the hex edits on your save file.


I can't assist you with this part. You have a rom that isn't from the e-shop if this is happening, and I am not providing you with one from the e-shop.

That is wierd cause I got it off my 3DS wih Godmode

I set 00000060~00000067 to "00" of my savadata.bin to fix the clock check.

(cc: @SaltedNeos)
This is what I've tried at first, but even after nullifying the user time offset in Rosalina, it didn't work on my save file. But I figured out why: the data here (stored in 64 bits) doesn't start at offset 0x60 exactly, but rather, at 0x60 shifted 3 bits to the "right"!

So basically, you want to set 9 bytes to "00" (instead of 8) in the range 00000060~68 (instead of 60~67). Doing this (along with nullified time offset) gave me back access to Special stages on my original save, at the cost of corrupting my Coin count from 99999 down to 99968. To avoid that, I had to only modify the bits that were needed:

Spoiler: I changed the following:

_______ 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F
...
0040 > D6 94 89 10 03 28 60 01 00 B0 B1 AC 70 51 66 00
0050 > 00 80 6C CE 7B 41 00 00 00 92 DE 65 E2 8A AE 53
0060 > 00 40 07 78 4C FE FF FF FF 34 6C 40 20 E1 D9 8F

Spoiler: To this:

_______ 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F
...
0040 > D6 94 89 10 03 28 00 00 00 B0 B1 AC 70 51 66 00
0050 > 00 80 6C CE 7B 41 00 00 00 92 DE 65 E2 8A AE 53
0060 > 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 F8 34 6C 40 20 E1 D9 8F

The bytes highlighted in green are to get the Preservation Mod to work.
The byte at offset 0x60 should have a value in range 0x00~0x07, while the byte at 0x68 should have any value ending with 0 or 8 in hexadecimal.

Ensure the game is updated to its latest version 1.5.x (regardless of what x says). After that, launch GodMode9, press the HOME button, choose "Title manager" then navigate to 0004000000141000 > Manage Title > Build CIA (standard). If it gives you a prompt to build "pirate legit", don't do it - pick the other option. Once done, navigate to the output cia file and select "Show CIA options > Show title info". It should say something like "Contents in CIA: 2/2" and "Title version: 5.6.0". Re-select the cia and try to decrypt it inplace. (It might say the CIA is not encrypted. If so, you're done.)

After doing this, you should end up with a standard (decrypted) cia file whose name contains the title id (and no 00000008 suffix). Hopefully I remembered all the main steps. It's important that the cia contain two "contents" rather than one! If your cia was built from a single .app file, the patches provided won't apply.

My friend patched the game and when he booted up the game the special stages would not appear at all. He tried patching the game from a clean cia file again and again including using the savedata.bin file that came with the mod but the special stages would not show up. He even tried to nullify user time offset from the Rosalina menu and nothing. He even deleted the extra data that was on the game. He is on the 1.5.0 version of the game. He didn't get the "Attention this game isn't up to date However Special stages should be unlocked" message. What should he do to get the special stages to appear?

Hi everyone, I am very interested in this mod, I followed all the steps in order and as needed, and yet I have exactly the same result as this person.
Reading the rest of the forum I noticed that the person did not say if she had found a solution.

I have exactly the same problem, that is to say that the application tells me that it is at version 1.5.0, I have no alert message, and no icons to go to the special world.
But on the other hand what I can say more is that I started playing after the servers closed (I am at level 120 or so), so I was never able to connect to the internet, and I never unlocked the special world (I imagine that it is unlocked with an internet connection), moreover my save already had 00 00 in the hexadecimal code of the save.

I hope this can help you find a solution, thanks in advance. (I used Google Translate, it's possible that some wording is weird)

I am having this same issue. I also started my save after the servers closed

You're both out of luck. There is a means of getting those save files to work, however, not only was it significantly more annoying, but I don't even remember what I did to get that working anymore. If you're still only like 120 stages in, honestly it'd be the best use of your time to start over with the provided save file, you'd get back there within a day anyways. If that's still a huge loss, you can use the Shuffle save editor to provide you with the resources to get back where you were.

Hey I also just started my save not too long ago but after the shutdown, and was hoping there (might) be a way for us to use our save files with this, do you think that maybe in the future that would be possible? thanks buddy!
I also saw your Wii PMD shiny pokemon which is awesome, (random question) - do you know if i could hex edit my PMD Wii save to unlock the event pokemon without using Wimmfi?
