Can't wait for this project to be revived here. Stickied.

[Chase-san]

I sure did fashion some pretty nice looking screenshots didn't I?

[fenzo666]

Yes you did ;)

[satoshiX]

I'm looking forward to seeing this out in the wild. Keep it coming Chase.

[daalmo]

i would be willing to help speed this up in anyway i can i would love to be able to run pokesav on my ds itself so what can i do?

[ZMaster]

I love the font and the theme ;D

[Neo]

I love the layout of it
I dont know any programming but i can help with somestuff like design and pkm files ect.

[Crazyninjaguy]

Wow!
Looking better than before, I remember NeoDraven posted this on my site a while ago, back when there was just a black background and white writing!
Looks awesome now though, can't wait for a release!

[daalmo]

well i know some programing and time to work on it

[Soniclemon]

Finally a way for me to use PokeSAV :D....... can't wait to see the full result :D

[Chase-san]

If you interested in helping just post some info on the help request thread for this, that or if your shy send me a private message via the forum. (its easier for me to keep track as I may not check this tread as often)

[Yankeefan802]

I know people have been saying this but I cannot wait for the finished result! This just seems "Too Epic". Although, I have a DSi, I need a new flashcard. Unless I borrow someone else's DS Lite around the house which I can see happening ;)

[Sabresite]

I have been thinking about this Chase, and while the idea of doing a pokesav like thing on the nintendo ds is great for being out... how many people do massive save editing while on the go away from a pc/laptop?

I think it should be a low priority on our list. It is also geared ONLY towards script kiddies who have flash carts.

The ONLY time I would use it is if I am on a LONG vacation with MANY driving hours, and I cannot (for whatever horrendous and absolutely ridiculous reason) bring my laptop (or netbook in the case of other people).

Plus, helping me with PokeMod will make it easier for you to structure the DS program, and port the code to something "simplier".

[bombob]

So how do we work it on our ds, do we have to transfer it with a flashcart?

[Kopa]

I'd definitely use this. I take my DS everywhere, and very often wish I could use Pokésav while I'm at college, or on the road, or even if a friend is using my laptop while I'm home. I think this is a genius idea! Can't wait till this is out!

[Akaria]

I was about to say something about the use of PokeSavDS, but Sabresite beat me to it.

It's an interesting idea, but like what has been said already there really isn't a time I wouldn't be without my laptop, and the fact using a keyboard on a DS means using a stylus or d-pad (no thanks), it's not for me.

But I'll lend a hand testing if it comes to that point so keep me updated.

[bear831]

I can't wait to see this program in action

To be honest I didn't plan to support full editing either. Mostly just editing of PKM files and maybe some basic save editing, such as start date, name, OT ID, SID, rival name, item inventory, etc. Nothing like what you plan to do with pokemod.

[Zowayix]

Hi Chase-san,

What happened to the program you were working on to convert pokemon from RBYGSC to D/P?

[Delta Blast Burn]

^^^^I Second That Question^^^^


Look Above

[Chase-san]

What happened to the program you were working on to convert pokemon from RBYGSC to D/P?

Oh that, it works.. but currently only with Gold and Silver and with your party pokemon and boxes 1 to 7.

[ZMaster]

Where is it? O.O

[Neo]

Pokesav on the DS would be handy though because not everyone has a laptop or just dosent want to carry it around.

[Arjun - PeeB4UGo]

Where is it? O.O

This.

[Friendsxix]

This.
You know, that makes no sense, Since there is no link...

[Arjun - PeeB4UGo]

You know, that makes no sense, Since there is no link...

'This' means I agree with what he said, or asked, in this case.

[Chase-san]

Oh right, erm well never released it. Since it was never finished. I released the source of what I had so far awhile ago on the other forum. But I suppose I could make it a click and go sort of thing. (ergo rename your save to something and place it in certain directory, then run the program)

Sometimes you do need to tweak EVs before a battle or change your Hidden Power type or give yourself an item or something like that, though.

[derrick]

is there any work for any thing for the dsi? i have one and my little step brother has one
but he also has a ds lite which i burrow

[Destati]

I'm sure that as long as your flashcart works on a DSi you'll be able to use this program on the DSi as well.

[Chase-san]

Indeed. If you have a working flashcart for the DSi then it should work on the DSi. (assuming that cart supports homebrew).

[ultikarp]

THIS PROJECT IS AWESOME!!! I can't wait for it to come out!!
I guess the next project is PPRE for DS, huh Chase?

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

I've thought of something, it's kinda crap though: how about you make a sort of INI for the pkm file with it's name and OT witch can be changed.

I would use it because I am very impatient, so I would not be able to wait until I have access to this computer, if there was a way to edit it on the DS (and there will be).

This will be very useful for those with Slot-2 flashcarts. Just dump, edit, restore. Simple. :kikkoman:


I'm sure that as long as your flashcart works on a DSi you'll be able to use this program on the DSi as well.
It should be the equivilant of using it on a Slot-1 flashcart in a regular DS.

[coolness]

i don,t have seen that i have also download pokesav DS but the game have crash one
M3 ds real and acekard 2i

[Chase-san]

blah, not dead just.. to be honest not really been interested in this recently. Honestly, it is fairly redundant.

I have actually been waiting for Sabre to contact and or get with me about Pokemod, but that really hasn't happened either.

I do think Sabre has gotten in a bit over his head though, considering the number of supposed features.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Why wouldn't you be interested? This project is cool. You can edit your save file on the DS itself, which I think is just awesome. Good luck on the program, I hope it gets finished!

Programming for the DS is harder than fo the PC. For the DS, one can only use C/C++. For the PC, one has a lot more options. I'm a VB person, and I have not been able to sucessfuly even compile source code for DS homebrew.

I do think Sabre has gotten in a bit over his head though, considering the number of supposed features.
Just release an early beta that dosen't have as many features as he plans, then release more betas when he has more and more features.

Like me, and my SAVE editor for Mystery Dungeon. I have no clue how to find the checksum, given the game's security.

[codemonkey85]

Sabresite has real life things going on as well. But Chase, if you are still interested in helping out, you should talk to SCV, Jiggy-Ninja, or myself about the project we are working on. We're in the IRC chat #PP-Research fairly often.

And evandixon, you should talk to SCV too, if you haven't already. He's a math guy, so he may be able to help you with your checksum problem. (By the way, did you try what I suggested earlier?)

[FLOOTENKERP]

So this project might not be completed? I hope so. It sounds really hard, and a lot of people would appreciate the effort.

[Chase-san]

I wouldn't say its so much the difficulty as it is the lack of interest on my part. Till I get back into Pokemon (it tends to cycle these things), it probably will not move.

[AlbinoDrow]

I wouldn't say its so much the difficulty as it is the lack of interest on my part. Till I get back into Pokemon (it tends to cycle these things), it probably will not move.

Same thing happens to me. Every few months I stop playing, then return later once it becomes interesting again. With the upcoming release in Jap of HGSS I'm sort of back into pokemon, though after its release and I read and learn all the new stuff and details I'll probably stop again until its release in the US lol!

Anyways, I do know some C++ and am eager to help if needed, though be mindful it wont be quick at times since I have a broken computer I am attempting to fix along with other RL stuff to do. That and I'm not an expert code writer, though little tedious stuff I can do, like copying, retyping, looking for errors, etc I can do when I have free time.

A pokesav type application that I can use on my DS on the go, anywhere, and perfect for those little tweaks like changing moves, IVs, EVs, and such? I'd like that very much even though I dont have a flashcart (yet) and esspecially for the release of HGSS. Though my Diamond is turning into my hack game and I just trade to platinum to leave no trace (and Platinum fixes Diamond Hex values so I dont have to mess with caught location values)

[Chase-san]

Hi, yeah, this is probably dead. For now anyway.

[TheHalfBloodPrince]

Hi, yeah, this is probably dead. For now anyway.
get bak into teh pogimans.

And best of luck with wherever this project goes.

[coolness]

what is the download
DATE?
of pokesavDS

[Poryhack]

what is the download
DATE?
of pokesavDS

Do you realize how stupid and downright rude this question is? Seriously, at least make an effort to read the thread before posting.

[TheHalfBloodPrince]

Agreed. Don't just click on a thread and assume a project is done. They take time.

[Chase-san]

Yeah sorry, the program was turning out great, until I just generally lost interest. I do not even have the build environment setup currently to build an older version of the binary if I wanted to.
These were the last screenshoots from the last version I made screenshots on... (I have a binary flaoting around, but its filesystem handling was buggy, so all it really can do is browse its internal filesystem). Though in fact I made 2 or 3 minor versions past this there was no major improvement.

http://www.csdgn.org/files/images/old/pokesav/screenshot_v2_0.pnghttp://www.csdgn.org/files/images/old/pokesav/screenshot_v2_1.png

You can find the complete source and other such stuff in this folder on my server: http://www.csdgn.org/files/pokesav/

I apologize for wasting your time, but I wanted to get this out to anyone interested. The source code is included, and while I do not really care about licenses to much but if you really want one GPL v3 looks nice. That way other people can benefit too. :) But really its nothing 'that' special. Mostly just tables and a handful of small functions.

I wanted to finish it at some point but it really doesn't look like it will happen.

[amassenburg]

(first post) is there a way this can be continued at all im willing to help w/ the graphics but thats all... my plan was remaking this whole setup kinda making it so that its easier to use...using graphics from DPPl

[Chase-san]

Have fun. :P

[kingstone]

i just downloaded the pokesavDS thing. but it doesn`t work on my R4i.
it just get a white screen and nothing else happens...

[bear831]

If you put the program on the root of your card it should work. Make sure you have the latest version downloaded. IF these do not work send a bug report to Chase-san

[Chase-san]

Oh yeah, someone lock this, this thread is old.
