TTDS Fix for English patches v3 - v2- the Official v1 AND the Official Version 2 patch releases of
Pokemon Black and White
I know the Topic title says v3 but I have workings methods for the versions to date (11/31/2010)​

The following methods work and involve changing the patched ROM's GAME ID, because you HAVE to. If you don't it will error-=4.

I will not say where to get Black or White ROMS. PM me if need any help with TTDS - I will do my best to reply quickly

V7 Black and White Kit
Easy as pie now. I stopped updating because it was so simple that it didn't seem like people still didn't get it. There's always those people though, I and mostly everyone on here had to read a guide for it at least once. Anywho.

1. There is not really a need to change Game ID's anymore, since the creater of the patches/patcher made sure that the Game ID is always the same after patching. (I assume, mine has been the same since v4) - so there may not be a point to change the Game ID's or even check, unless:
A. You "white screen"
B. It simple will not load. (Freeze on load, hanging)
C. Error-=4
If A, B, or C happen in your case, then changing the Game ID is most likely the issue. (I'd say, 90% of the time.)

2. In this patch patch that I stuffed together includes the tools you need to do everything to properly patch White/Black.

Patching instructions with the pack I put together of all the awesome people who made them:

1. Extract the Pokemon ROM of choice and move it into the patch folder.
2. Drag the ROM onto the batch file that says "DropHere" It'll open a box saying it patched, wait for it to say "press any key to exit/continue" or "OK" or whatever.
3. If/when it creates a new file with "_patch" or something of that effect at the end of the file- Delete the original. If you want to rename it, go ahead.
4. Open xDelta GUI (RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR - Right click > Run as Admin)
5. Click Select Patch - find and locate the version 7 patch file and click ok.
6. Next find that rom that was just patched by the "DropHere" batch file. click ok
7. Apply the patch. You'll notice a patch file is created - This will be your final ROM file.
THE GAME ID's MATCH BUT IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE .dats THEN CONTINUE.
(otherwise copy/paste/play)
8. Open up r4cce.exe and click "Add Game" Then click the "..." button
9. Search and find your final patched rom and open it with r4cce
10. Copy the Game ID (NOT THE IRAJ part...) - it'll be 8 digits in length
11. Leave that open and open up ttdt.
12. On ttdt goto File and Select Open
13. Go to your TTMenu folder and select extinfo.dat
A box with a bunch of Code will pop up. Click on any of them and press "I" - Now scroll down until you find your the Game ID
Black IRBJ
White IRAJ
Select and highlight the Game ID of your choice
Goto Data Control at the top of the program, and select "ID Info"
14. EDIT THE ID WITH THE CODE YOU FOUND ON r4cce, click ok, goto file and save.
15. Go back to your TTMenu folder and select infolib.dat
A box with a bunch of Code will pop up. Click on any of them and press "I" - Now scroll down until you find your the Game ID
Black IRBJ
White IRAJ
Select and highlight the Game ID of your choice
Goto Data Control at the top of the program, and select "ID Info"
16. EDIT THE ID WITH THE CODE YOU FOUND ON r4cce, click ok, goto file and save.
At this point you HAVE to have those two files edited to match the Game ID!
17. IF you have and B/W Action Replay codes you need to edit the Game ID on it to match the ROM's Game ID!
18. Transfer to cart and test, it should run fine
V4 to v6
Same Concept as v7, if you need anything - ask

<a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MKTFDAS9" target="_blank">Master Patch Pack v7 (WHITE ONLY)</a>
TTmenu/YSMenu (both with latest updates) I've provided enough, you should be able to find these easily.
Other programs used:
xDelta GUI
TTDS Fix
r4cce
ttdt


Version 2 official patch guide is here:
1. Use a CLEAN ROM only.
2. Use eNDrypt on the .nds file
After that succeeds
3. Patch with latest patch file.
4. Use eNDrypt on the .nds file

- If you want to check the Game ID, I recommend you do so.
It SEEMS that this patch uses the same Game ID from the last "Official 1" patch.

- If the IDs are diffrent, change them.

5. Copy and play!

The method for the Official Version 1 patch:

This is for TTDS! Backup all files in a folder and leave it alone until finished

<b>If you know what you're doing: Decrypt with eNDrypt, move to patch folder, patch with xdelta GUI, move back to eNDrypt folder, encrypt the newly patched rom, check game id with r4cce, copy/paste the ID into the 2 .dat files (mentioned detailed below) as the game's ID
Copy and play - or continue with the guide as it explains in detail!</b>

THE GUIDE by Hatchetball - the Patches and programs are NOT mine, I'm showing you how to use them in a alternate (easier) way.

1. Extract Pokemon White/Black
(Right click on the Pokemon White/Black.rar file and select "Extract here" - wait for it to finish- WINRAR is the suggested program for this!) - (KEEP THE RAR FOR NOW)


2. Copy/Paste Pokemon White/Black.nds to eNDryptS folder
(Right click on Pokemon White/Black.nds - select "Copy"- Open the eNDryptS folder - Right click and select "PASTE")
Alright with that in there move on to step 3

3. Right click on eNDryptS Advanced.exe and select "Run As Administrator" it will open up. Press 1. One of two things will happen here!

3.1 IF IT SAYS IT FAILED AND CLOSES HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
DELETE THE ERROR FILES IT PUT INTO THE FOLDER.
You have to re-PASTE Pokemon White/Black.nds back into the folder, OVERWRITTING the previous failed one.
After that, retry step 3 until it works.

3.2 It should work and say something along the lines of "Successful" - awesome! Close that box!

4. Right click on the Pokemon White/Black.nds file and select "CUT"

5. Paste Pokemon White/Black.nds in the folder called "Patch" !

6. Open xDelta GUI (NOT xdelta)

7. Click the Select Patch button and open "White-NewStyle-English-EXPPatch.patch or Black-NewStyle-English-EXPPatch.patch"

8. Click the Select Rom button and open "Pokemon Black/White.ds"

9. Click "Apply Patch" (MAKE SURE YOU LOOK TO SEE IF THE FILE APPEARS with the same size as the original, then wait about 5 seconds then close the xDelta GUI program)

10. In the Patch folder you will notice a file was produced called: "Pokemon White_Patched or Pokemon Black_patched"

11. Right click "Pokemon White_patched" and select "COPY" again.

12. PASTE "Pokemon White_patched" in the eNDryptS folder

13. Right click "Pokemon White_patched" and select "RENAME" Rename "Pokemon White_patched" to "Pokemon White" (Pokemon White - with a space or whatever you want really, I don't care.)

14. Right click on eNDryptS Advanced.exe and select "Run As Administrator" it will open up. Press 1. One of two things will happen here!

14.1 IF IT SAYS IT FAILED AND CLOSES HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
DELETE THE ERROR FILES IT PUT INTO THE FOLDER.
You have to re-PASTE Pokemon White.nds back into the folder, OVERWRITTING the previous failed one.
After that, retry step 14 until it works.

14.2 It should work and say something along the lines of "Successful" - awesome! Close that box!

15. Back in your main folder DELETE the "Pokemon White.nds" file. (NOT THE RAR FILE)

16. Cut and Paste your Patched rom from eNDryptS to the main folder!


17. You have to find your GAME ID for this patched ROM.

18. So we open "AR CHEAT EDITOR" (r4cce folder if you're not using this guides file pack) then open r4cce.exe

19. This is where you open up your USRCHEAT.dat file from your TTmenu, find your existing Pokemon White codes, click on the folder.

20.1 IF you use your .dat file - WITH THE GAME SELECTED - in the GAME ID boxes, you will see the game ID - There is a BOX that simple says "..."
CLICK "..."
REMEMBER WHERE YOUR SAVE FILE IS! Now open your newest patched .nds file!

20.2 THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANAT PART!!
When you load your newly patched games you will noticed the GAME ID will change! >>>SAVE<<<

Those numbers are IMPORTANT! You need to write those down, or copy and paste to a new txt file or something, but you HAVE to know them for the next few steps!!!!

21. COPY The GAME ID (Not the IRAJ part, the 8 digits it gives you)

22. In your main folder, goto the ttdt folder and open ttdt.exe

23. Select File - Select OPEN - In the TTMenu folder on your microSD card or whatever you're using open the following file: extinfo.dat !!!A box will pop up click extinfo and then OK

24. Ok so a bunch of stuff just popped up. Press I and scroll down until you find the CODE "IRAJ"

25. CLICK ON IRAJ. Goto Data Control (top of program) and Click "ID INFO"

26. This brings up what you need to edit!!!! You better remember those numbers from earlier or you will have to find it again!

27. DO NOT CHANGE THE "CODE" YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE ID to the GAME ID you get from r4cce.exe when opening the patched rom!!! Change the code to the new code and press OK.

27.1 GOTO FILE AND SAVE that file

28. Select File - Select OPEN - In the TTMenu folder on your microSD card or whatever you're using open the following file: infolib.dat !!!A box will pop up click infolib and then OK

29. Ok so a bunch of stuff just popped up again. Press I and scroll down until you find the CODE "IRAJ"

30. CLICK ON IRAJ. Goto Data Control (top of program) and Click "ID INFO"

31. This brings up what you need to edit!!!! You better remember those numbers from earlier or again, you going to have to find it AGAIN!

32.. DO NOT CHANGE THE "CODE" YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE ID to the GAME ID you get from r4cce.exe when opening the patched rom!!! Change the code to the new code and press OK.

32.1 GOTO FILE AND SAVE that file

33. IF YOU WANT TO UPDATE IT TO VERSION 3 (which is included, and better) WHEN YOU HAVE PATCHED THE FILE TO VERSION 2 you need to decrypt it again, use xDelta GUI to patch it with the V3 patch, then encrypt it again like you did to the original file! YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND THE GAME ID AGAIN AND EDIT THE FILES WITH THE NEW GAME ID WHEN YOU UPDATE TO VERSION 3 OF THIS ENGLISH PATCH!!!!

IF:
You found the GAME ID with r4cce.exe
Edited the two .dat files from TTmenu with the new game ID
THEN: You are ready to continue!!!

Copy the new rom to your games folder on your TTDS and the .dat files to the folder 'TTMenu" and boot that mofo up!


IF YOU GET A WHITE SCREEN REDO THE DECYPTING/ENCRYPTING PROCESS!
IF YOU GET "error-=4" YOU are doing something wrong!
Rememeber, EVERY time you decrypt, encrypt, or patch a ROM, the Game ID <u>WILL</u> change, so you have to find the value of the ROMs game ID and edit the dat files so that the TTDS will KNOW what game you're trying to play.


Gather these files up in one location so easy use (I suggest downloading the patch pack provided)
The method for version 3 is in this spoiler tag to reduce post size.

1. Extract the Pokemon B/W .nds file of choice and move it into the patch folder.

2. Drag the Pokemon B/W .nds onto the batch file that says "DropHere" It'll open a box saying

it patched, wait for it to say "press any key to exit/continue" it'll bring up

another screen (the authors, all the credit goes to them for the amazing patch)

3. If it creates a new file with "_patch" or something of that effect at the end

of the file- Delete the original.

Side note about AR users and making the old save work for the new ROM - in spoiler tag

Spoiler

For the AR users that are using this method: You must change the Game ID on the AR .dat file USRCHEAT.dat to match the ROM's ID number so that the TTDS will comprehend that the cheats are for that Game.

Getting old save files to work: If you patch something and the name is altered, rename it to match the .SAV file
Example: You have "Pokemon White.nds" as your file. You patch that file and it becomes "Pokemon White_patched.nds"
Well if your .SAV is "Pokemon White.SAV" then you would have to change either the patched game's name or the .SAV files name.
So renaming is "Pokemon White.nds" again, will make the .SAV work just fine.

IF you need anything PM me or Post here

Hey um....I'm kinda stuck on finding out the 'Game ID'
It's kinda confusing how you do it.
My usrcheat.dat doesn't have pkmn Black or white

Edit: darkspirit456, stop raging just because someone had a better one than you did.

How can you be stuck? Use r4cce. Goto Add Game, click the box known as "..." and open the rom with it, it will tell you the ID that you use to copy/paste into the .dat files...
Read the guide man, it's very detailed and I included a link to a patching pack with everything your need to do this method (EXCEPT THE ROM I WILL NOT SUPPLY THAT)

There's no point in insulting Dark. These are his and other peoples files that are used in the guide so don't be insulting him. Sure, this alternative method is good... and well... better than how others explained it... but it wouldn't be possible without him. All I did was make a guide of the method I used to get it to work, you should be kissing these peoples asses .

Regardless of things said in this thread, I am still thankful that dark has made and hopefully will continue to make these patches. I will continue to make sure they work for EVERYONE, not just select people.

That good to hear i don't go attacking people if i want help Shira need some respect.

 

[darkspirit456]

Bad new its look like I'm having trouble with English v1 EXP Patched rom =/ cannot boot error-4... Is just so weird... 2 IDs of encrypted and decrypted wont work... I guess is time for me to mess with more hex... back to drawing board... arggggg So Black version patch with union fix won't be posted until tomorrow...

 

[PyRoManiAcV3]

I haven't gotten far enough in my Black to try the union room. But my Black ROM is running perfect, just like my White. With O.V1 on it.

 

[Maplemage]

My wifi is working, union room is working, it has only froze maybe 5 times in my 24 hours of gameplay.

Loving it.

Where and what is the union room? im still confused a bit.

 

[Hatchetball]

@ Dark - Do you have any instant messaging programs? I'm very sure I can help you get that error-=4 gone for good and get this patch working on that TTDS. (I'm guessing you have it working on there already, or have at some point?) All-in-all, I assume it's the clean rom you have. There are many floating around and I've ran into this issue as well. Until I found a ROM that is already encrypted (and clean). That's most peoples problem with the error at the moment, most of the roms I've seen floating around were not encrypted copies, theirfor patching was annoying. BUT what you would do it patch it, then use eNDryptS once to close it up (encrypt) and it should work... but again I don't know what rom you have and all that. If you have msn or something and would PM me it, I know I can get you the fix... I can't post it here lol (or just pm me here, I'll find somewhere to upload it, our file transfer server isn't working for me at the moment)
I'm guessing it's that clean rom you're using, cause from your previous posts you couldn't get our method working (I guess you tried it? LOL) on TTDS, said something about white screen... well that happens when the rom isn't already encrypted. Since the method is Decrypt, patch, encrypt, find ID, edit .dats with new ID - it won't work for a rom that's already decrypted, BUT, I need a already decrypted clean rom, cause I'm pretty sure all you have to do is patch, encrypt, edit .dats with new IDs with one of those roms. I want to test it though.

@ PyRo - I haven't even started Black, I know I have a v3 copy of it but not the newest one working cause I haven't even tried. After I got White working, I never tried Black cause I only play white at the moment lol I've seen that you can use your White SAV on Black as well, haven't tested it though.

@ tails - Pokecenter, in the back, first lady on your far left side.

Hi there.

Thanks a lot for the guide, it's fantastic. I managed to get version 1 to work.

I have a question about version 3, though. Do you patch the file that you've already patched version 1 on, or do you do it from scratch with a clean ROM?

I've tried both and can't seem to make it work. Followed all the other steps perfectly. It just shows a white screen.

Thanks.

Go to DSTT section for my post, it will give you link to official version 1 english patch that's already done and tested if you don't want to do it yourself

Oops. Seems I made a mistake. I'm sorry. I already had Official Version 1, but I was under the impression that Version 3 was an upgrade of Version 1, but I just found out that when they say "version 3", they mean "beta version 3."

Got there eventually, lol.

Thanks a lot for the help.

And this guide really is fantastic. I followed it and Official Version 1 works great. Thank you!

Are you asking how to get Beta v3 to work? Because if you already got Official v1 to work, then I don't see the point of trying to get Beta v3 to work.

Indeed. v3 is the beta and Official 1 is the most recent update. If by chance you were to use any of the beta patches though, all is done with a clean ROM

Glad everything worked

If anyone needs anything - file info, help, files, (not roms), or just anything for TTDS really - Post here. You could always send me email/msn/AIM/Yahoo-etc and I will help you asap.

I'd really like to hear more from the community on this cause it works great

 

[Hatchetball]

YamiWheeler,

That would be a problem with encrypting/decrypting. Clean ROMs are used

Darkspirit - Are you using YSmenu and TTMenu?

 

[darkspirit456]

I'm using unofficial loader YSMenu as a main boot

 

[B3astinSnipes]

Hey TC i have a youtube video with all the links,so if u need new links or something tell me and u can post then in first topic just give creid thats all. For the link to them just ask

Posts merged

for the TTDS link i cant post for specfic resons so people need to PM me for that one.

 

[Hatchetball]

I'm using unofficial loader YSMenu as a main boot

Odd. I'm using YSMenu 1.17a12 and it works O.o

@Beastin - I'm more than prepared with more links.

@ Everyone - If you need a mirror'd link, let me know, I'm not sure what other places to use for mirrors

and latest updated patch will be added very shortly

 

[Ringo619]

I downloaded v3 and when i drop my b/w rom into the drop here file i don't seem to get a other file just my same old b/w rom and i don't even see a name change or anything.
Help plz

Help plz

Prolly be better off downloading the latest official 2 patch and using it on a clean ROM for better results.
If the v3 patch file didn't change names, then it didn't work lol

 

[aznboy100]

I did everything it said to do but after that i got error code 5 how do i fix that?

 

[PyRoManiAcV3]

I did everything it said to do but after that i got error code 5 how do i fix that?

Make sure you have the latest ext+info.dat files from pong and that other guy.
And the latest version of YSMenu. Won't work otherwise

Sounds like you need the latest version of YSMenu, and be sure to check the Game ID's again when you add the YSMenu on.
Either way, sounds like a lack of YSMenu

 

[JackKnife]

I can't seem to be able to patch White. When I click apply patch using the xdelta gui, it doesn't seem to do anything, not even freeze up. It's like nothing happened.
