ROM Hack [Release] AGB_FIRM Signature Patcher + GBA ROM Converter

[mid-kid]

Since this stuff is public now, here's a fun hack you can do on top of everything. Since the ARM7 runs pre-BIOS startup code in lgy-process9, you can actually control it quite early on. Because of that, it's possible to restore the original GBA boot screen by modifying AGB_FIRM.
Here's how I did it, in LGY ARM9: 000001EF -> 000026EF (just scan for this, it's unique)
This changes a SWI 0x1 (RegisterRamReset) used during boot into a SWI 0x26 (HardReboot).

Oh many thanks. This is going to make me tear up in nostalgia.

Forgot I put these together ages ago when I was having DSTWO issues. Patch your ROMS and see if they allow pokemon games to save.

What save type should we set it as?

I just updated Footer Generator. Test it and let me know if it detects Save Type properly.

It detects but I suggest you have it so it auto selects the save type as well.

EDIT: Nvm it seems to already do this.

I redid pkm emerald using the new one, and it doesn't boot. It select the rom size one size smaller then what I chose using the older version. Old version I selected16 mb, the new version automatically selected 8 mb so I tried it with 8. Doesn't boot with 8.

SAVE TYPE: FlASH_V123 will work?

I doubt it. SMA4 has savetype Flash something and didn't work.
SMA2 has EEPROM and works.
