Loving these patches, especially with full-screen giving my Silver more bigger immersion on my SNES N3DS XL.

Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with the border support: mine seems to go fully blank despite me hearing the in-game sounds:

Applies to all Gen1/2 games I own, btw.

I have make a Dragon Warrior Monster VC with the GBC Injector. Work the patch with selfmade VCs?

"- These should only work for Pokemon virtual console games"

... F*ck :/

So I can get these patches to work for the gen 1 games no problem, but the gen 2 games just load to a blank screen with Luma plugins enabled (and yes I'm using the right gen 2 plugins for those games).

I did make custom injects of these games with the ultimate 3DS VC injector so that I could change the Game Boy border, as well as change the 3D Game Boy model's color and the cartridge's color on the main screen, the rom files themselves are still the original vanilla versions though. So maybe that has something to do with why the gen 2 games aren't working, but I did the same for the gen 1 games, and they load just fine with the plugins working as well; so I'm not so sure on that. These are all US versions.

Anyone have any idea what I may be doing wrong with the gen 2 games?

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently the gen 1 patches work for the gen 2 games on my 3DS, I don't get it, but I don't care lol.

EDIT 2: Figured out what was up with my first edit there: since I was making custom injections of the gen 2 games, I didn't realize that for them in the New Super Ultimate injector, I had to toggle to "using the newer version" for applying the wireless linking patch. Sure enough, that allowed the games to link up properly again, and at the same time disabled these gen 1 patches from working like they were in my first edit. At which point, I swapped them out for the gen 2 patches, and they worked as desired, with the wireless linking working as well.

This probably isn't possible, but is there any way to add a resolution option to the debug menu? That way you could go to full stretched screen back to its original size in the same session (not unlike playing a GB/GBC game on a GBA and making that adjustment by hitting L or R). I know we have the patch that gives us both the widescreen and debug patches, but you can't change the screen size within a play session, you're stuck with a full stretched screen at all times.

How do I get this to work for pokemon rom hacks such as polished crystal? I have the correct folder title id and code ips in there, patches enabled and it still doesnt work. It works for my regular Pokemon Crystal, not sure why its not working for the romhack. Can anyone help with this?

Hi, dunno if you’ve figured it out yet but you’ve gotta hit Y in the debug menu instead of A.

Also, does anyone know how the button repeater works??

Awesome Patches!
That full width takes me right back to the Old GBA days,
Some people hated wide mode, but I used it all the time.

Also, since no one seems to be posting the ID's I'll list mine:

USA Pokemon red [eshop-English]: 0004000000171000
USA pokemon Crystal [eshop-English]:0004000000172800
Thanks for this. I got my title ID from checkpoint not knowing that it trimmed the id down from crystal to just display "00172800" then I was wondering why the example in other comments were longer. Thanks, this is what I needed!

Is there a way to remove the wide screen patch?
Also my Pokémon red is very laggy when I use emulation speed 2 and some text appear on screen, or in battle

Is it possible to apply the patches to the vc games located in the original 3ds folder where the downloaded games go or do I have to move it to luma and if so how do i do that without botching it . I wanna apply the patch to Crystal so I can hunt Celebi faster because the cutscene takes years to play

nvm found out how

Still cant seem to get it to work. Just testing on Red and all i get is a black screen.

Im on latest luma 13
title id is correct
game patching is on
the file is named to 'code'

Not sure whats wrong

**Tried with another red with a different title id, still doesnt work

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
