ROM Hack [Release] Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal Virtual Console Wireless Linking Patches

[Traiver]

Not to ask you to rebuild everything just for this reason, but could you please not use "ctr-?-????" product codes?
Without Nintendo telling you how you should do things, you have 15 characters to write a much more intuitive title!

Nope, won't do that.

honestly, I don't think it'd be too bad of an idea to have a custom product code.
Do something like...

"GBCVC-C-EN", "GBCVC-G-SP", etc. etc.

A question just for curiosity, In wich step of the first post does Traiver stop and build the cia? If I understand there are two options: let HANS patch the emulator (or rom?) with the asm patch or Traiver's cias where the patch is inside and the emulator patches the rom itself.
And did you TheStoneBanana know Z80 ASM before study the original patches and create the amazing new ones?
I really want to see the documentation of this, time ago I resigned trying to understand the patches xD

Well... yeah. But not today... Or maybe...

Yes, I did know the language before I made these patches. I'm a major retro game enthusiast and I love to develop for old systems (the MegaDrive is where my heart truly lies).
It was just this past year that I began to study and actually learn GBZ80, as well as the Gameboy itself.

I may not be remembering correctly but what is the Crystal Emu Edition (251)? Is it just Crystal but with a 251 Pokemon patch?

 

[Deleted member 370283]

If I remember what @Traiver said correctly, it's basically a version of Crystal that doesn't require any trading or linking at all to be completed 100%.

 

[XavyrrVaati]

I see you have the 251 Crystal hack, any plans for Crystal Kaizo?
Good work though! It's cool to know that the link patch works well for games they weren't intended for.

Thanks guys, this is amazing! One question though. I used the new code.bin to compile a new VC cia for one of the full color hacks, and since I changed the title ID and product code it's asking that I update it, and I couldn't find anything on how to solve the issue for a single cia. @Traiver, since you managed to fix the issue for your CIAs, could you tell me how to fix it?

Yes, Crystal Kaizo is in the working.

You can change that in the DecryptedExHeader

You can find any Pokémon thats missing in the wild at specific times and routes.

For example mareep is there, where it is in Silver only in the morning, IIRC.

But legendarys have a special event though, for example You can get the GS Ball in the Pokémon Center in Goldenrod City.

I don't think this will work with Pokemon Bank? Perhaps better wait for official versions.

 

[Traiver]

If there ever will be official releases...

 

[Ekaitz]

You did a truly amazing job with those VC... It's really amazing, thank you guys for your hardwork.

I'll create my own VC for the French release now.
Using the patched code.bin, we should probably be able to run the Pokemon Red/Blue color hack, right?

Oh and ofc, some games like Tetris would be great @TheStoneBanana ! It's always nice to play some good old games on new systems with all the features that used to exist... If only we could do that with GBA VC! Maybe a day, Nintendo will release some GBA games with built-in wireless features.

The french version is already out, didn't you saw that? And no, sadly we can't do that with GBA VC's because there will be never GBA VC's for 3DS.

I saw that you released it on that iso site but I prefer when it looks really official with the right font and every graphical ressources as it would be if it was official, that's it.

Yea, Nintendo is just too dumb to see that GBA VC would be a good income for nearly no work... Nintendo...

I will update the banner for the other languages, too. The english version already had it.

I'm having issues with braindump. (Failure during dumping. Output data is incomplete!)

I still have a cxi but I don't know if it is usable. Would you mind sharing a cxi dump on that iso site or wherever you want? I'll do the French version of the CIA with good banners and share it with you, you could then post it on your thread on that iso site.

It will be my small contribution to your great project.

I don't use braindump, so I can't help you with this.

Did you decrypt the game using Decrypt9 and then the tools by Asia81? Tried that, CIA is decrypted but no output files with the tools, even if it seems to be successful.

Only time will tell, really. I don't expect it to, because Gen II Pokémon have a different structure internally than Gen I, but who knows. Maybe Nintendo will plan ahead and have Gen II support.
