Hey everyone,

I just signed up on this forum so I do not know if this is the correct sub-forum to post. I am thinking of picking up a 3DS (I can get either a N3DS XL or an older one from gamestop) and I want to mod the pokemon games. I am a big fan of modding such as changing accuracy of moves, level up moves etc. My questions all assume I get the right 3DS with a system firmware<9.2.

1). If I dump the rom using a 3DS gateway (which cost 75 bucks in Canada) can I use the dump rom to play online?
2). If its possible to play online, does that means I can play mod hacks of ORAS or XY online as well?

The thing is i usually play on emulators and I have favorite attacks and abilities but there not on my usual favorite Pokemon so modding allows me to do so. If I can't play online or get a 3ds with firmware<9.2 then would I have to resort to save editors such as pkhex? If so is there anyway to use them on firmware>9.2?

Thanks

you can use the rom online but it would act like a normal rom ( your changes wouldn't take place in online battles etc )
PKHeX is just a save editor , so you wont be able to "rom hack" using it

Okay but pkhex pokemon can be used online right? I have seen like hackmon videos and they were playing on ORAS so I assume that's what they do? I guess I can get a mega salamence and give it no gaurd with my favourite moves or something. Pkhex will probably allow me to have a legit team to use for competitive and then hackmons for just messing around. Also so during online are the calculations done server side? Maybe thats why they won't show up?

hacked mons as in created on PKHeX can be used online if they're legal. so no huge power slaking . you can however use those pokemon in offline battles (so playing with IRL friends)

If two people happened to use the same exact pokemon rom online. Do you think the changes would revert and act like a normal rom as well? Or do you think they will stick since both people are using the same game?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
