ROM Hack USUM IPS Patches

[H1B1Esquire]

if you don't want to extract a GB of content, just extract Exefs instead, try to see if it works without romfs in pk3DS.

I''ll try to see what I can do, but I have 566MB remaining.

I literally changed a byte in the .ips file in a hex editor.

For example, I changed:

50 41 54 43 48 32 E2 B8
00 04 00 F0 20 E3 45 4F
46 (Ultra Moon)

to

50 41 54 43 48 32 E2 B4
00 04 00 F0 20 E3 45 4F
46 (Ultra Sun)

I read that Ultra Sun is literally a -4 byte difference to Ultra Moon and used that to make the patch.

Is there an easy, quick way to change the other patches over? I'm not too experienced with hex editing, but I have HxD installed.

I'm not experienced either. All I did was open up the no outlines patches I have for Sun (Not Ultra) and Ultra Moon and compared the differences and made changes to the Ultra Moon patch.

They're in reverse hex, if you know what that means?

 

[H1B1Esquire]

not as of right now

I think they added it in PKHeX 4124 or earlier.

Hoping K adds the Mantine Surf checks.....unless the Surf Pikachu is a lie.

The Surfing Pikachu isn't a lie as I got it myself. It's not shiny locked either.

Got the instant text to work

I'll release it as soon as I've done the rest a friend wants.

Sorry, I know pretty much nothing about hex. But I tried what you said, comparing the sun and ultra moon patches, and they're more different than a single digit. For a couple patches, they're 5 digits different.

Would you be able to make a .pk7 of it, please?

Ultra Moon no outline patch:

50 41 54 43 48 32 E2 B8
00 04 00 F0 20 E3 45 4F
46

Ultra Sun no outline patch:

50 41 54 43 48 32 E2 B4
00 04 00 F0 20 E3 45 4F
46

You are literally changing the end of the value.

Ultra Moon: 32 E2 B8
Ultra Sun: 32 E2 B4

 

[AyanamiRei0]

Hmm

what about this one?

 

[Rya102396]

Ultra Moon no outline patch:

50 41 54 43 48 32 E2 B8
00 04 00 F0 20 E3 45 4F
46

Ultra Sun no outline patch:

50 41 54 43 48 32 E2 B4
00 04 00 F0 20 E3 45 4F
46

You are literally changing the end of the value.

Ultra Moon: 32 E2 B8
Ultra Sun: 32 E2 B4

I meant you saying you compared the original sun to ultra moon. How do you figure out what to do then?

 

[AyanamiRei0]

It's just minus 4

All he did was change it from B8 to B4
that's all he changed.

 

[ShinyDragonHunter]

Because the bit that's different between the two is the hex address that's getting patched.

 

[Rya102396]

No, he said he compared original sun to ultra moon and edited it.
Original sun
50 41 54 43 48 31 CF CC
00 04 00 F0 20 E3 45 4F
46

Ultra Moon
50 41 54 43 48 32 E2 B8
00 04 00 F0 20 E3 45 4F
46

Original sun

46

Ultra Moon
50 41 54 43 48 32 E2 B8
00 04 00 F0 20 E3 45 4F
46

What's different between the two?

 

[Rya102396]

What's different between the two?

31 CF CC
and
32 E2 B8
I see no correlation.

 

[ShinyDragonHunter]

There is a correlation. That's the ROM address that gets patched.

Okay, so how would I figure it out for the other patches, like instant text?
Sun is
50 41 54 43 48 2B FB F4
00 04 03 40 A0 E3 2C 04
98 00 04 03 50 A0 E3 45
4F 46
Ultra Moon is
50 41 54 43 48 2D 00 58
00 04 03 40 A0 E3 2D 08
FC 00 04 03 50 A0 E3 45
4F 46

 

[AyanamiRei0]

Here's some Ultra Sun patches I've included the no outlines one for the people who want more than just no outlines
You can still use the buildtool of course.

That one is slightly different but I believe you change the 2D 00 58

So it seems that it's not just a -4 byte change...
