PPSE-DS r12​

So, it's been a very long time since the last release of this, and the world has changed in a myriad of ways. We have seen the beginning and end of wars, the rise of global pandemics, and recently, the advent of AI. But through it all, we come back to what we love in the end, and this is no different.

After 16 long years, it has finally happened. The latest, and as far as I am concerned, the last and final release of PPSE-DS.

What is PPSE-DS?​

PPSE-DS is a homebrew save editing tool for the 4th generation pokemon games that runs right on your Nintendo DS. Pokemon, Pokedex, Items and many more things can be edited.

What's new in r12​

• Pokedex editing
• Form editing
• Bug fixes
• Windows and Linux builds

Works with​

Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver

Runs on​

• 3DS via TWiLight Menu++ (tested)
• DS flash carts like Acekard 2i, CycloDS, EZ-Flash V and R4 clones should still work as before. If it doesn't load, try putting it in the root directory and make sure it's DLDI-patched for your cart.
• Windows
• Linux (AppImage)

Download​

• DS / DSi / 3DS: Download
• Windows: Download
• Linux (AppImage): Download

As always, back up your save before editing.

Thank you to Project Pokemon for the research that made this possible, and to everyone who used it, reported bugs, or just said thanks over the years. It meant more than you know.

I realize that most of you probably do not care about/do not like/really hate pokemon, or don't have a flashcart, etc and that is fine, just move along and leave me in peace.

Are you kidding me? This site is a flashcart discussion community, so of course most people have one. And I'm sure there are also a lot of people here who love Pokemon.

I saw your thread in the PP forums and it was pretty interesting. Good luck, I'm definitely looking forward to the final version.

Revision 5 is here, it has basic pokemon editing.. it has editing of IV and EV.

Revision 6 maybe in a day or two (cause I should start doing my homework)

 

[Whooosh]

Works with:
•Pokemon Diamond
•Pokemon Pearl
•Pokemon Platinum
•Pokemon Heart Gold
•Pokemon Soul Silver

Seriously. Thats brill so. Cheers i dont have pokesav on my computer so this will help me greatly.

BUT what about corruption? is there any threat of my rom or .sav(or anything else on my cart for that matter) will get corrupted??

 

[Range-TE]

wow dude, you fulfilled my wish

! just a couple of days ago at school i wanted to edit my HG save file (i wanted to change gold's name) but no pokesav! (my school has a strict thing against using school computers to download stuff)

now i can use pokesav anywhere i want! thanks dude!

 

[Whooosh]

BUT what about corruption? is there any threat of my rom or .sav(or anything else on my cart for that matter) will get corrupted??

Also what about using a sav from a patched rom for example MAGNIUS's translation

and i edited my pokemons EV IV's with it and the total no. turned red. Does this mean my pokemon is no longer legit????

If you edit your Pokemon with Pokesav in ANY way (even changing nickname with Pokesav), it will be considered hacked.

he great an new version!

In your book. If you can get pass Nintendo's legality checker (which even a trained monkey can do), then they don't care. Legality checker checks for basic things like move pool (if it's possible), characters in your name/Pokemon nicknames, stat, EV's, and even some other stuff like where it was caught, date it was caught, etc. I've made dozens of Pokemon for competitive battling on PokeSav and not one has raised a red flag.

Yes i know "technically" its hacked but i mean will it be considered legit by nintendo's standered as all the appropriate data was there because i OBTAINED the pokemon legitly(caught in game)

So would it pass GTS and other WiFi checks

EDIT: are all 255 ev's and all 21(i think) IV's pass checks??? if not what would just pass???

 

[GameWinner]

doesnt work for me, using r4i-sdhc. it stays on the stand by screen

 

[Chase-san]

No offense but r4 is a poor excuse for a flash cart (almost as bad as a game'n'music card imho). Try putting it in the root folder and keep its name the same. Or use the homebrew launcher.

As for the EV's turning red, anything above 510 total EVs the game does not add, so its considered hacked by nintendo if over 510 total EVs. (thier legal checker is a joke I think, they should update it with pid iv checking).

So even though it says i have aload of EV's i really still only have 510 when i go on the game?????

OR is it that it DOES make a difference but wont pass checks?????

Just backup your SAV just in case.

 

[Hotzdevil]

@whoosh it just probably that your pokemon has the EV's(that is 255 in all stats) however if you want to use it for official purposes then your pokemon will be deemed illegal..

BTW great work Chase-san i love the music,and ya works like a charm on my r4..
