Homebrew [WIP] PHBankGB - Pokémon Homebrew Bank GB (R/B/Y)

[Gocario]

Pokémon Homebrew Bank GB​

PHBankGB is a homebrew which allows to manage a local bank for Red/Blue/Yellow, and in the future will handle the japanese titles.

The source code will be available later, and the resources are available on github too.

What this Homebrew can do:

• Work on o3ds and n3ds, with a CFW!
• Navigate through the PC boxes of a save and the Bank boxes.
• Display a more specific resume per Pokémon (like IVs/EVs).
• Select one Pokémon (with stylus or buttons) and move it to another slot/box.
• Autocomplete the Pokédex when importing Pokémon to a gamesave.
• Export/Import the savedata directly to/from the game, without the need of external tools (/sav.dat).
• Load/Save the bankdata to/from the bank, located in the SD card (/pk/bank/bankgb).

How to install it:

• Just extract the archive at (to?) the root of your SD card.
• It must contains:
  • The cia installer /cia/PHBankGB.cia
  • The data files /pk/[DataFiles].
• Install /cia/PHBankGB.cia using FBI/BBM/etc.

Controls:

Movement​

• DPad/CPad: Move the cursor inbox, change box, change pc/bank.
• L/R: Change the current box.
• LZ/RZ: Switch from PC to Bank and vice versa (can be done with Pad and/or stylus too).
• Touchscreen:
  • Move the cursor inbox.
  • Drag & Drop Pokémon.
  • /!\ Don't move any Pokémon to a locked slot, it will be lost /!\
• Start: Save and return to the title selector.

Selection​

• A: Select Pokémon / Move Pokémon if one is already selected.
• B: Cancel selection.

Todo List:

• Implement the multiple selection...
• Fix the touch screen locked slot bug.
• Build a move database for the max PP.
• When moving Pokémon with the DPad/A, switch the held Pokémon.
• Add an export feature, to export to Gen VI.

Please report any bug you find.

Sweet, gonna be handy using this, and looking forward to the Gen6 copy too!

 

[Gocario]

Well, something gone wrong transfering from red to yellow

Which games? Which Region? Which Languages?
Could you reproduce that?
Can you reproduce that while transfering from red to bank, saving, from bank to red only?
Can you reproduce that while transfering from yellow to bank, saving, from bank to yellow only?

OK, by order:
1/2/3. Red/Yellow Spanish Version (Legit, redownloaded from eShop) (but strangely Yellow showed me "Gualdo" as a possible name for my starter
4. I don't even know how it happened, dunno how to reproduce, but i made a backup of the bank archive, so they should be ok in that one.
5/6. I'll try.

@Gocario Well, dunno how, but now they are all ok, no bugs so far, the only thing i could think of being a problem, could be that i didn't catch any pokemon before transfering the pokemons to Yellow version.
Soo, had the pokedex, but didn't catch any pokemon before, maybe is just that.

 

[Gocario]

@Patxinco, would you mind sending me your clean backups?

 

[Yuuyuun]

Any plans on supporting FR/LG?

 

[Priw8]

Moves aren't displaying correctly for me.

Well, there's gonna be a problem, didn't thought of transfering back the bugged pokes to the bank, and deleted from Yellow directly, i could send you the backup that used to transfer to Yellow the first time if that helps.

There is no FR/LG VC release afaik.

Moves aren't displaying correctly for me.

Well, moves names are shifted by one, I'll fix that.

Does it fix itself? Or there is still problem?
Also "no Pokémon caught" can lead to a problem..? Can you try again with a further progress?
When I said the backup, I was speaking about the sav.dat that you should dump using JKSV/SDF. :3

When transfered again for second time, they showed correctly, as they should.
I think that no pokemon caught was a problem, but i could try to make a new game and dump sav.dat before and try to do it again same way i did. This will take a time, i'll report later on.

Edit: Bank files are in my last post.
