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

[Traiver]

Yes, it's finally done.

 

[Deleted member 370283]

So, as said, we're planning a release for tomorrow.

Testing is done, yes, but I WOULD like to find a solution for you guys who can't install CIAs so you can enjoy this as well. So... we'll see how that pans out, eh?

 

[ThisIsDaAccount]

Great to hear. Another neat little side benefit is that we'll get to play full color red and blue with wireless patches!

Edit: I'm assuming, not thst it wouldn't be awesome even if we couldn't

 

[Deleted member 370283]

You assume correctly. The solution that we've found will work for ALL Gameboy Color games that could potentially use this version of the VC emulator. Not just Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

Excellent work here, and thanks for sharing your progress !!

I am looking forward to seeing how this progresses "

Are you guys working on a solution for the need to restart before different types of links. If not that's fine I'm just curious.

Hello guys, your work is amazing!

I though there's a kind of "fixed protocole" in ASM when GB roms tries to stablish a Link Cable communication, and to port the patches it was just a matter of change/set more offsets, but it seems no.

Also, to fix the color issue, did you patched code.bin, or it's another entry in the .patches files?
If the case is the first then, can I add that code.bin to my GBC injector?
My idea is to add an option to make GBC injections with this new VC, because you can't save states there, and some users would appreciate that; it's kind of more realistic. And with that color issues fixed, there's no reason to not doing it! Obviously I would give the credit to you!

Again, incredible job! Now you enjoy this!

Besides the white bar glitches on the title screens everything seems fine. Just wanted to know is it normal for pokemon silver to glow blue thinking it has an update?

Yes, it's an updated code.bin which will works for every GBC game now without any glitch on the newest VC. The release will be tomorrow and yes sure, I guess you can have it to inject it into your program, just give some credits.

Can you also do New VC option for monochrome GB? You announced to enable the option to use New VC with GB games but you didn't include it for some reason...

This is offtopic, but yes I will (the reason was basically being lazy).

 

[Captain Library]

Absolutely incredible work - again!!! You said soon, but so soon was a very pleasant surprise.

Quick question, is there any way that the English Silver .cia that may or may not be made available "somewhere" could have a unique title ID that doesn't prompt the update message on start up? I'm not sure how to fix it or build a .cia myself... It's a small grievance but it would feel more authentic without it :-)

Yes. I'm hoping to have that fixed relatively soon, if at all possible.

Besides the white bar glitches on the title screens everything seems fine. Just wanted to know is it normal for pokemon silver to glow blue thinking it has an update?

I don't think so...
I would talk to @Traiver about this since he has been handling the .CIAs.

 

[Traiver]

I'll start fixing the games now so that we have the final release today!

But this will take time, so be patient guys.

When the RBY with 3DS online came from Nintendo and someone found the asm patches I tought "Who will reverse them knowing that the code is in Z80 ASM (not an actual programming language xD)?" Some heros, and that's you! Thanks for the awesome job guys!

 

[hacksn5s4]

the guy who makes the vc you need to update the gbc vc so you can inject these games into the new vc very easy

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Asdolo needs to make an injector for this or update the gbc or gb injector for this

 

[xJoelituh]

These are insanely great news, good job guys! Yesterday I installed the old .cia with the wrong palette to see how it is, but seeing that is awesome!

And also knowing that Asdolo will add that option to his injectors would be incredible.

Yes, he will. We gave him the new code to implement this in his next release the coming days.

So... I'm not home right now (I'm currently at school) and I thought now would be a good opportunity to ask you guys a question.

After reading the poll, it's very obvious that you guys are interested in documentation of how to use these link features (i started writing it last night ), but would you be interested in more P.O.C. ports in the future? Like, say for example, Tetris or something.
