Patreon for anyone who wants to support me here https://www.patreon.com/kya_colosseum
Head on over the the gamecube pokemon hacking discord https://discord.gg/aucXehNbwM to shout at me about anything I might have missed.
Must give a massive shoutout to Stars who has helped me throughout this process, and who without his tools I'd have not even managed to turn a Zigzagoon into a Linoone. Would also like to thank FanficPheonix, mikeyX, Brawlersinthezone and Lan for their contributions as well, couldn't have done it without you guys!
There are plenty of other features I'd love to bring to this project in the future, so anyone knowledgeable in the ways of coding who wants to work on a project like this please get in touch!
How to patch
Download either the Johto, Kanto, or Hoenn version of Grand depending on which set of starters and legendaries you want to catch and play with
Apply the patch file to a clean Pokemon ColosseumISO using any UPS patcher. This patch was made for the NTSC (US) version so it will not work on other versions. The iso is quite large so it may take a few minutes.
Always patch onto a clean ISO, even if you are applying an update.
When patching make sure file isn't a nkit file. If it is, please note that the patch will not work and you will need to convert the file into an ordinary ISO, or source another ISO.
Recommend using a fresh save for all the features to work properly
Make sure to use the nuzlocke patch after you've patched it using the main patch

PMD Expanded Sky DUSK - EoS New Gen Starters Mod
By xanam
This is a rom hack of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky that adds in all starter Pokémon from across gens 5-9!
On top of just adding the standard starters, Zorua, Axew and Rockruff have also been made starters, Eevee can evolve into Sylveon, and all partner pokémon across all rescue team and explorers games are available. New portraits and animations have been added to existing starters. Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Typhlosion have also been added as branch evolutions for their respective base starters (as of v1.3.0). Hisuian Samurott and Hisuian Decidueye have been added as per 2.0.0. Implements the fairy type, updating all fairy pokemon and moves to have the correct typing. Disarming Voice and Moonblast have been added. Note that if you had a Pokémon with one of these moves in an existing save on MIDDAY or MIDNIGHT and have upgraded to DUSK version, you may see Milk Drink or a move with a name comprised of symbols in your moveset. This can be fixed by going to the Electevire Link Shop and relearning Disarming Voice/Moonblast. Due to limitations to the amount of partners in the game, the mod used to be split into two separate patches, MIDDAY version and MIDNIGHT version, separating out starter choices and gender-locking each starter. As of DUSK version (2.0.0), these restrictions are no longer in place, and all starters from all PMD games are available as well as a few new ones, with no gender-locking! Applies several quality of life patches that come bundled with skytemple - such as exp share, move shortcuts, mass-appraisal of boxes and fairy gummies. A full list with credits can be found in the document included in the zip file and by talking to a new NPC on the Crossroads. A copy of XDeltaUI has been included in the zip file for ease of patching. Instructions for patching the game can be found in the document included in the zip file. XDeltaUI might not work if you're on a mac - if not, I've been told this tool works instead: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/746/ UniPatcher works well for Android devices. This is purely a starter modification hack - there are no story changes. More starters are on the way in the next update - such as Hisuian Zorua, Yamper and Espurr! Learnsets, IQ Groups and evolution info can be found in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Spq9U_TCTqxT-NTovtm_c9Mzv1kTuTujd-BpPp0jj4U/edit?usp=sharing
Updates!
NEW 10/09/25: Small hotfix! It was pointed out to me that Moonblast and Disarming Voice no longer did anything due to some missing data after moving their move ids. This has now been fixed. Additionally, both moves have shiny new animations and Moonblast now affects all enemies in the room. Be especially sure to update if using a pokémon that learns these moves, like Popplio or Sylveon!
NEW 25/08/25: DUSK VERSION IS HERE! Gender-locking and hero/partner restrictions have been lifted, and all heroes and partners can now be accessed in the same version, at the cost of the personality test at the start of the game. All starters can now evolve and all current regional evolutions have been implemented. (Quaxwell doesn't have sprites in the sprite repository at this time, and has been omitted - Quaxly evolves into Quaquaval for now). No additional starters have been added yet, but stay tuned for the next update.
23/05/24: A lot of you reported issues with Grovyle's sprite not behaving as intended. This has now been fixed. A bug causing the game to occasionally freeze when advancing floors should also now be resolved.
10/03/24: Axew and Grookey added as starters, replacing Shinx and Riolu respectively. Shinx and Riolu are still available as partners in MIDNIGHT, to use them as heroes use version 1.2.1 or below. Additional portraits/sprites have been added for evolutions of all playable heros/partners where applicable, and sleep animation has been copied over to EventSleep where missing. Greninja's moveset has been updated and Sobble's full evolution line is now implemented. Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Typhlosion are now available for evolution (see ingame evolution help via new cyndaquil NPC on the crossroads, alongside sprite/portrait/patch credits, or check learnset spreadsheet linked above.
15/06/23: The evolution flag for Litten and Froakie was erroneously still set to false in the previous update, but this is fixed as of 1.2.1, so be sure to update if you have either of those two. Despite doubts expressed in the changelog I can now confirm the update DOES work for existing save files!
08/06/23: Litten now evolves into Incineroar - and Froakie evolves into Greninja (mid-stages aren't available yet). Now includes a version compatible with Melon, RetroArch and DraStic emulators. Fairy gummis can now be bought or received as mission rewards, and existing pokémon that learn moonblast and disarming voice in sun and moon now learn it here. (Accidentally said Dazzling Gleam in the txt and changelog, but this is what I meant!). Several other bugfixes and improvements included - check the changelog for details!
17/05/23 Sobble is now available as a starter! 🎉 This means Skitty had to be removed as a hero unfortunately (but is still a partner) - if you'd like Skitty as a hero, be sure to download version 1.0.0 of this mod instead of the latest version. Sobble is also now available as a partner in MIDNIGHT version. For full list of heroes and partners, check the last two preview images for this hack. Updated the rescue team partners (Cubone, Psyduck, Machop) to use additional sprites and portraits created for the PMD Sprite Repository. Splashscreen credits for the artists have been swapped over to the title screen for readability and visibility.
Disclaimers:
All portraits and sprites are the work of artists contributing to the pmd sprite repository (Spreadsheet of individual credits with links when provided is here). Because work on the repository is ongoing, evolutions for Chespin, Fuecoco, Spritgatito and Quaxly are unimplented as of now, as are Torracat and Frogadier. Certain portraits may not show up in-game for the same reason. A set of exclusive items have been added and set across all new pokémon (Enigma bow, brooch and scarf, and ultima prism) - but I've not yet figured out how to modify the functionality of these yet so they're likely pretty useless as of now. Due to the size of the expanded starter list, all starters are sadly gender-locked. Check the document to verify what gender to select in the quiz in order to get your preferred hero. I've not ran into any issues so far with this, but feel free to message me here if you notice anything. I'm also contactable on tumblr (pyromaniac-cynadquil) and bluesky(@pyrocyndaquil.bsky.social). I'm currently looking into a potential version 2.0.0 featuring a third version with extra new starters as well as an overhaul to stats and patches used, but this is up in the air right now.

Pokemon Rumble: Weekend Edition
By WindyPrairie
This is a mod of Pokemon Rumble (Wii) that was made for the shiny hunting community event Rumble Weekend! The original Pokemon Rumble contains only the 1st and 4th gen Pokemon, but this mod reintroduces the 2nd & 3rd gen Pokemon (and their shinies) to the game in a new terminal known as "GX"! The layer of fog on all stages has also been removed, and the collection screen has been updated to support all 493 available Pokemon!
The original base game also remains fully intact in order to preserve the rarity of certain Pokemon.
Included are 3 bps patches to be applied to a USA version of Pokemon Rumble to get you into GX! Due to slight differences in dumps of the games out there, there were 3 patches made to ensure it works. (details on how to obtain the original game obviously not provided)
This is fully cross-compatible with save files from the original Pokemon Rumble (USA natively, PAL/JP with some additional steps detailed in the FAQ doc linked below), and it can be installed on actual hardware via homebrew. This patch currently ONLY works with the USA version of the game due to slight scripting/file structure differences that exist in the JP/PAL versions of the game, so if you want to play it on a Japanese or PAL Wii, you will need to do some region changing upon installation with homebrew.
This mod is still very much a work-in-progress, and for full details on what's available/what is planned for the future, read the readme file inside the zip folder!
-NEW-
There is now a document with frequently asked questions and answers! I hope to continue updating this as I keep updating the game!

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Remixed!
By Gala1D
This is a ROM Hack of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky that adds an entirely new starter roster, new mechanics, as well as tweaking the expressions and dialogue of the entire main story!
Hey, my name is Gala and I wanted to share a hack I created! This hack has been in the works since October of 2023, and is a very big feat of mine. The game’s plot itself is largely unchanged, but bits of everything else have been altered in minor or major ways. I’ll go into some of the more important changes below, but there is an in-depth spreadsheet here.
If you don’t feel like reading a wall of text, that’s okay! Download it for yourself and enjoy! Join the Discord to keep up to date on the latest news regarding PMD: Explorers Remixed! You can also check out my YouTube!
This hack alters aspects of the game’s story. Some characters look different and have new names. The entire game's script has edited dialogue to remedy poor translations and poorly conveyed emotions. The portraits of characters are more expressive where possible. However, that is the extent of my meddling. This isn’t EoS rebuilt from the ground up, it’s more-so a modified experience that allows me to learn the ropes of making an EoS ROM Hack!
We are planning to rework the post-game in a later update, but for now, the majority of our changes land in the main storyline before you graduate the guild. All of the pre-graduation dungeons have had their spawn tables revised with our new Pokémon.
You are able to evolve your starter and partner as soon as you discover the Luminous Spring!
Thanks to an amazing skypatch, ‘StarterMenuTool’ (credits to Chesyon, Adex, HeckaBad, Irdkwia), we have been able to expand the starter list drastically. Our community has voted on 85 Pokémon to be included as starters! There are even some unique picks such as Golett, Wimpod, and even Cosmog! We have also included every single traditional starter from the mainline games! We’ve worked hard to modernize all our starter learnsets.
This hack includes the Fairy type, along with 39 added moves and 22 added abilities!
We've included many Mega Pokemon! You evolve into them at Luminous Springs. It is not a temporary form like in the mainline games, however, you can devolve back into your previous form. The following Pokemon unfortunately didn't receive animations in time, so we are using the Shiny versions as a placeholder: Mega Venusaur, Mega Blastoise, Mega Meganium, Mega Dragonite, Mega Blaziken, Mega Swampert, Mega Froslass, Mega Metagross, Mega Golurk, Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox, Mega Greninja, Iron Treads, Mega Sceptile, Mega Scizor, Mega Pinsir, Mega Heracross, Raging Bolt, Mega Absol Z, Gouging Fire, Mega Golisopod, Mega Emboar, Mega Chandelure, Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y, Mega Gyarados, Mega Meowstic, Mega Lucario Z, Mr. Rime, and Toedscruel. We have added most SkyTemple community patches, which includes things such as Manual Team Control, the Move Growth system from modern PMD titles, Non-interruptive Weather, and many more! It all comes together to make the experience fresh and exciting!
We’ve also included the necessary applications to apply this patch to an untampered, US ROM of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Assets were provided by many people through places such as the PMD Sprite Repository, so check it out to give the artists some love! Due credit is on the spreadsheet.

PMD: Gates to Infinity Demake
Disclaimers:
Do not set the top screen menu to "Map and Team", this will break the game! This is a demo and does not contain the whole game yet.
Gates to Infinity Demake is a project that aims to recreate Gates To Infinity in the form of an Explorers of Sky rom-hack. Made In celebration of GTI's 10th anniversary, this hack aims to recreate the original game as closely as possible with minor improvement along the way. With improvements such as more starters, faster text speed, improved graphics (very subjective), and reworked dungeons. This project is a work in progress and is constantly changing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this hack complete? Not yet. While I plan to cover the entire game, It is currently just a demo for now.
When will this hack be complete? Not for a while. It takes a lot of work to make rom-hacks, and considering how ambitious this hack is and that I'm only one person, it may take up to two years or more to complete. However, I will be updating the hack with more story and gameplay so be sure to check every so often. I also have a twitter where I'll tweet when major updates come out.
How do I play this hack? You'll have to patch a clean US rom of Explorers of Sky in order to play this. You can use xdelta to patch the rom which come preinstalled with the download. After that, you can play it on any nds emulator or on an actual DS.
Will this hack feature base-building Yes
Some of the Pokemon are different species from the original game. Why? All gen 5 sprites for EoS are fan-made and many sprites don't exist yet for certain Pokemon. These are currently placeholders with whatever species is the most similar.
If you find any bugs, issues, or have any suggestions, then feel free to ask me on the SkyTemple Discord: https://discord.gg/skytemple

Pokemon: Renegade Battle Revolution
By PomTron
The first publicly available hack for Pokemon Battle Revolution, apparantly! (???)

Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire (Universal version)
By WindyPrairie
A weekend project that got really out of hand turned into this.
DISCLAIMER: THERE IS A LOT THAT CAN POTENTIALLY HAPPEN WITH THIS, AND THOUGH I DID DO RIGOROUS TESTING, THERE IS STILL NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WON'T POTENTIALLY DO DAMAGE TO YOUR GBA SAVE FILES. I AM NOT LIABLE FOR POSSIBLE DATA CORRUPTION HERE. PLEASE HAVE SAVE BACKUPS BEFORE USING THIS UTILITY TO BE SAFE!
Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire is a cool storage utility, but it has some pretty big drawbacks... so I fixed 'em. (This is also 100% compatible with original Box Ruby/Sapphire save files!!)
CHANGES:
-compatible with all language Gen 3 Pokemon games on the same save file (official cartridges only) (R/S/E/FR/LG)
-in the original game, you can ONLY withdraw Pokemon you didn't deposit if your save file has caught 100 Pokemon in the Pokedex. This limitation has been removed
-in the original game, in FR/LG and Emerald, a certain flag was checked on the save file that only gets set if you handed the Sapphire to Celio (FR/LG) or beat the Elite Four (Emerald). This prevents you from withdrawing OR depositing Pokemon until the postgame on both of these games. This limitation has been removed
CURRENT BUGS: (may or may not get fixed in the near future)
-currently all Ruby/Sapphire games are detected as Ruby. This is purely cosmetic and should not affect usage of the storage utility. This WILL cause only Ruby to be booted in Adventure mode, but there is a Gamecube Action Replay code you can run to make it Sapphire instead:
USA:
Force Sapphire Version [Ralf, Absol] 0403009C 38000000 040300A0 28000000 040300AC 38000001
PAL:
Force Sapphire Version [Ralf, Absol] 040310C0 38000000 040310C4 28000000 040310D0 38000001
JP:
Force Sapphire Version [Ralf, Absol] 0402F788 38000000 0402F78C 28000000 0402F798 38000001
-in the PAL version, Adventure mode will only boot the English Ruby/Sapphire despite whatever version you are actually using - I may look into this feature to restore the multi-language adventure mode files eventually.
-the boot screen on the GBA will always display the Japanese splash screen - that is because in order to make this all possible, modifications were made to the JP multiboot GBA file
HOW TO APPLY PATCH:
1. download the appropriate .xdelta patch for the version of the game you wish to run (usa, jp, or pal). You will also need a Pokemon Box iso for the appropriate version of the game you are looking for (obviously, not provided here). If your file is a .nkit.iso, you will need to convert it from that to a .iso file before patching it.
2. use delta patcher (https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/704/) to apply the patch to your .iso
3. You will now have a new .iso file to run on your modded Wii/modded gamecube and will be able to use all the new features

b2w2 Pokémon Blaze Black 2 & Pokémon Volt White 2
By Drayano
Summary
Pokémon Blaze Black 2 & Pokémon Volt White 2 are essentially the sequels to my Black & White hacks known as Blaze Black and Volt White. The usual rules with my hacks apply; the main feature is that all 649 Pokémon are available for capture somewhere in the game, and the trainers have all had their rosters changed in order to maintain a much harder challenge than the original game, as well as having an increased variety of opponents to fight. There's also a large amount of alternative features these hacks offer, which range from differences to the Pokémon themselves to the presence of a couple new TMs. If I'm not mistaken, these are also the first Black 2 and White 2 hacks on offer.
Additionally, the two versions only differ in terms of their aesthetic differences, such as the appearance of Opelucid City, the title screen, etcetera. So basically, just pick whichever colour takes your fancy!

- 649 fusions (some with alternate forms like castform, sawsbuck, arceus, ...)

WiiWare: My Pokémon Ranch Platinum Version (English - USA) Update Patch

7) Credits
1) Intro:
My Pokémon Ranch is a game released for the Nintendo Wii in 2008 as a downloadable WiiWare title.
It was developed by Ambrella and published by Nintendo.
The game acts as a playground/sandbox for interacting and watching various different Pokémon on a Ranch, as well as storing them.
Players can move Pokémon around, have Pokémon play with toys, take photos of them, or have them interact with one another.
Each day, Hayley brings a new Pokémon to add to the Ranch.
The original version of My Pokémon Ranch has the capability of connecting to the Nintendo DS mainline Pokémon games of that era, Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl.
This connectivity allows them to transfer Pokémon to and from My Pokémon Ranch, allowing it be used for additional box storage, not dissimilar to Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire on the Nintendo GameCube.
After certain capacity milestones have been reached, the player can be rewarded with special event Pokémon, such as Phione or Mew.
On November 5, 2008, an update to My Pokémon Ranch was released in Japan that allowed it to connect to Pokémon Platinum.
Not only did this update boast additional connectivity, but it also included an increased storage capacity, support for (at this time) Platinum-specific Pokémon forms, new toys and ranches to visit, new music, new Pokémon interactions, updated Platinum-related encounter information and more.
Unfortunately, this update was never officially released outside of Japan, so international players were unable to enjoy the full My Pokémon Ranch experience...
...Until now.
Introducing the My Pokémon Ranch: Platinum Version English fan localization patch!
2) Installation Guide:
2.1) Disclaimers:
This patch is a non-profit fan project that is not associated with Nintendo, Game Freak, The Pokémon Company, or Ambrella Co. Ltd.
Please make sure you read these instructions carefully! This guide does not take any responsibility for user error or damaged consoles.
This guide requires the USA version of My Pokémon Ranch as a base to apply a patch. The patched version, like the original USA version, only supports connecting to English copies of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (other languages may be supported in a future update).
Included in the patch is the ability to receive guest visitors to the ranch via WiiLink, which may come at a later date.
A modded Wii console is required to be able to install this patch. For information on how to Homebrew your Wii, see the guides on wii.hacks.guide.
⚠️
Installing this patch will upgrade any existing USA My Pokémon Ranch saves to work with the Platinum version of the game. This format change is irreversible, so it is recommended to back up your save file. To do this, you can use SaveGame Manager GX.
This patch can connect to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (English) versions. However, due to signature changes in the data sent to the cartridges, special methods are required to connect to the cartridges going forward for all versions. They can be found in the Connecting to the Nintendo DS section.
⚠️
2.2) Downloading & Applying the Patch to My Pokémon Ranch:
Two different base WAD files are options to apply the patch to: the original USA release, and the updated USA release, which fixed a typo. These must have the correct SHA-1 hashes, listed below. You can verify you have the correct hash using a tool such as this one.
0f318003a97a99858c2ab4ef5da70f588bc90969 (Original USA) 7a7e059bcb5f91bbdcaf68e98540b86e7df62542 (Updated USA v256) To patch your WAD:
Download the applicable patch file for your base WAD (Included in the above zip) and save it to a convenient location on your computer. We recommend using Rom Patcher JS to patch your game. Upload the .wad file as the ROM file, and the file from the first step as the Patch file. Click Apply patch, and save the patched .wad file your browser downloaded to your SD card or USB Drive. Use YAWM ModMii Edition to install the patched My Pokémon Ranch WAD file. Follow this guide from wii.hacks.guide for more details. Open My Pokémon Ranch on the Wii Menu and launch the game. If everything was done correctly, the game should boot up without any issues. If updating from an existing Ranch, Hayley will have a new introduction sequence acknowledging the update. 3) Connecting to the Nintendo DS:
Now that we have installed the My Pokémon Ranch WAD, the next step is to patch or trick Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to connect to it. This is required because the DS does a digital signature check on the secondary ROM file the Wii sends, ensuring it’s signed by Nintendo. Because the patch has made changes to the secondary ROM, it is no longer properly signed by Nintendo, and so the signature check has to be removed.
There are various methods available in order to patch your game.
3.1) Cartridge Methods:
If you would like to use a physical copy of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, you can use the MPR Connect app. This is not guaranteed to work with counterfeit copies of the game.
TWiLight Menu++ (3DS HOME Menu):
If you have not done so, follow these instructions to install TWiLight Menu++ onto your modded 3DS system. Download mpr-connect.nds from this GitHub link and save it to the roms/nds folder on your 3DS SD card. Launch the patched My Pokémon Ranch game on your Wii, and initiate a connection to the DS from the main menu. From the HOME Menu, launch TWiLight Menu++. Navigate to the MPR Connect application, then press A to boot it up. Insert a cartridge of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum into the cartridge slot. Press Start, and this should prompt the system to start a connection search to the Wii. If everything was done correctly, you should be now able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon on My Pokémon Ranch! TWiLight Menu++ (DSi Menu / Unlaunch):
If you have not done so, follow these instructions to install TWiLight Menu++ onto your modded DSi system. Download mpr-connect.nds from this GitHub link and save it to the roms/nds folder on your DSi SD card. Launch the patched My Pokémon Ranch game on your Wii, and initiate a connection to the DS from the main menu. From the DSi Menu, launch TWiLight Menu++. Navigate to the MPR Connect application, then press A to boot it up. Insert a cartridge of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum into the cartridge slot. Press Start, and this should prompt the system to start a connection search to the Wii. If everything was done correctly, you should be now able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon on My Pokémon Ranch! Flashcard and Cartridge Swap:
If you have a Slot-1 DS flashcard (R4, etc.), this can also be used to run MPR Connect on a DS Lite or DS Phat console. This method will not work on DSi or 3DS/2DS consoles, unless your flashcard is a DSpico.
Download mpr-connect.nds from this GitHub link and save it onto your flashcard’s microSD card. Launch the patched My Pokémon Ranch game on your Wii, and initiate a connection to the DS from the main menu. Boot your flashcard on your DS, navigate to MPR Connect, and launch it. While MPR Connect is running, eject your flashcard from your DS and replace it with your Pokémon cartridge. Press Start, and this should prompt the system to start a connection search to the Wii. If everything was done correctly, you should be now able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon on My Pokémon Ranch! Wii DS ROM Sender:
If you don’t have a flashcard or DSi/3DS system, or simply do not want to mod your system, Wii DS ROM Sender can be used to send MPR Connect to your DS over DS Download Play.
To set up Wii DS ROM Sender:
Download Wii DS ROM Sender from this GitHub link and extract the contents of the zip file onto the root of your Wii’s SD Card. Save a copy of DS Download Station - Volume 1 (USA) onto your SD Card’s root as haxxstation.nds. The SHA-1 of this ROM must be: f18b55f3e1259c03e10d0ecb549693b42905ceb5. Download mpr-connect.nds from this GitHub link. If it does not exist already, create the folder srl on the root of your SD card, and copy mpr-connect.nds into it. Insert the SD Card back into your Wii. Then, to use it to run MPR Connect:
Boot up your Wii and use the Homebrew Channel to launch Wii DS ROM Sender. Select mpr-connect.nds as the ROM to send, and begin sending it. Insert a cartridge of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum into the DS cartridge slot and boot up your DS (it is important to do this before downloading the ROM from the Wii). Launch the DS Download Play app. If you are using a 3DS/2DS, it will ask you if you want to download Nintendo DS or Nintendo 3DS titles. Select Nintendo DS. The option to download from the Wii should appear. The DS should download the HaxxStation ROM and start running it. Select the title in the list and download MPR Connect from the Wii (a dummy name will be shown in its place). The MPR Connect splash screen should appear on the DS. At this point, return to the Wii Menu, launch the patched My Pokémon Ranch game, and initiate a connection to the DS from the main menu. Press Start on the DS, and this should prompt the system to start a connection search to the Wii. If everything was done correctly, you should be now able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon on My Pokémon Ranch! 3.2) ROM File Methods:
Backups of ROM files of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl or Platinum that are launched via a flashcard or TWiLight Menu++ can also be used if you'd prefer to play from those.
We recommend using nds-bootstrap or pico-loader to load the game in order to guarantee connectivity with the Wii.
Patching:
The ROM file can be patched to remove the signature check. We recommend you use a ROM with one of the SHA-1 hashes below. You can verify this using a tool such as this one.
Pokémon Diamond: a46233d8b79a69ea87aa295a0efad5237d02841e (USA Rev 5) 66d2fbfb0dbc1f86a3d726971196989b950092bc (EUR English Rev 5) Pokémon Pearl: 99083bf15ec7c6b81b4ba241ee10abd9e80999ac (USA Rev 5) b5652db288c75417de159d93d297689c885dbbd1 (EUR English Rev 5) Pokémon Platinum: ce81046eda7d232513069519cb2085349896dec7 (USA Rev 0) 0862ec35b24de5c7e2dcb88c9eea0873110d755c (USA Rev 1) 8d15cd443d4e83e20493c79d3f9dc408c4f51ae0 (EUR English Rev 10) To patch your ROM:
Download the applicable patch for your ROM (included in the above zip) and save it to a convenient location on your computer. We recommend using Rom Patcher JS to patch your game. Upload the .nds file as the ROM file, and the file from the first step as the Patch file. Click Apply patch, and save the patched .nds file to your SD card you use with your flashcard or DSi/3DS system. If everything was done correctly, you should be now able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon on My Pokémon Ranch using the ROM file you have patched! AR Codes:
AR cheat codes may be used to remove the signature check. This method working is dependent upon the ROM loading software, and is not guaranteed. Patching the ROM file is recommended over this, if available.
Pokémon Diamond/Pearl: 5230F824 E24DDE12 0230F820 E3A00001 0230F824 E12FFF1E D2000000 00000000 Pokémon Platinum: 5230ED00 E24DDE12 0230ECFC E3A00001 0230ED00 E12FFF1E D2000000 00000000
4) Call for Translators:
This release only includes a patch for the USA version of the game, and not the European version. The USA version only has English text in-game. The European version also has French, German, Italian and Spanish.
To release a European patch, we are asking for translators to help us. If you are fluent in French, German, Italian or Spanish, are interested in volunteering, are able to actively test your work, and understand what a “variable” is, please reach out to us via Discord.
5) Contact:
If you would like to contact us, visit our website at pokewii.net to join our Discord or contact us by email.
6) History:
Development on this patch began in early 2023, but was envisioned even earlier in 2020 when working on a translation patch for the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare games.
The first big hurdle of this patch was reverse engineering a custom variant of the proprietary compression format (called ASH) which is used in this game. When that was figured out, the project began development shortly after.
Localizing this patch was the easy part. The hard part, by far, was getting non-Japanese copies of the game working with this patch. Not only does the game perform a series of checks to make sure it’s connected to the right version, English Platinum and Japanese Platinum are very different, and lots of small things had to be fixed. This project was struggling to devise a solution to the signature issue, and often months went by without it being worked on. Many of the people who tried to reverse engineer this were scratching their heads.
Several times during the development process, we had considered just releasing the game as-is, essentially giving up on Platinum connectivity.
But, we persevered, and thanks to the help of several people, we were able to get a nice solution.
Thank you for all the support. After 3 and a half years of development, we are excited to finally have it finished.

Play as May in Pokémon Colosseum!
By GameBeast92
Shout out to StarsMmd⭐ This wouldn't be possible without your help and your amazing tools. The amount of witchcraft I did on 1 colosseum iso and it still survived through everything for 5 years straight and still lives to this day is absolutely crazy. That colosseum CMD Tool really has superpowers! So thanks for that and also for always being an awesome help in the community man!😎
I made this patch because of popular demand by well...especially women.
At first I wanted to post this on International women day but hey, thats too far away! Nobody got the time for that, so here it is! The ladies patch! Because women rock🤟
🪲It's not entirely perfect because there are some small bugs but it doesn't affect gameplay in general. Just visual and temporary in some scenes:
- When MAY enters EAGUNS house for the 1st time. Her leg starts spinning. When the conversation with EAGUN ends she turns to normal again.
- The overworld model of the imposters leg keeps spinning in the overworld. Fixed when you enter battle.
🛠️ I also added some amazing QOL upgrades so check them out in the promo screenshot!
Apply the patch file to a clean Pokemon Colosseum ROM using Xdelta patcher. The rom need to be an iso. Not a file with RVZ, NKIT, or CISO extension. This patch was made for the NTSC (US) version so it will not work on other versions.

Pokemon Colosseum and XD: Sketch Version
Pokémon Colosseum and XD where you can only use Smeargles. Simple has that. But why play this hack instead of using Smeargles in the base game?
First, the Smeargles are given to you and/or have to be captured, so you don't need any external software to put them in your team.
Second, que Smeargles have edited stats. The goal of these hacks is to beat the game taking moves from enemies, not grinding. After testing this myself, I think I got the sweetspot for the new stats, where they aren't that great but they aren't trash.
Features
-You can only use Smeargles. Shadow Pokémon have a stupid low catch rate, and wild Pokémon don't appear in XD. You'll get a Master Ball in Colosseum, but you'll get something else in XD.
-Smeargles are slightly improved to minimize level grinding. Their new stats are 55/55/55/55/55/75. Their ability is now Trace.
-Miror B. won't appear for rematches, since you can't capture the Shadow Pokémon anyway.
-Very few text changes to adapt the changes.
-Custom banner.
- *.xdelta file and the software needed to path your iso.

Route 10 Restoration Project
By theSLAYER
This project was originally W2 only. And apparently the musician NPC in Opelucid was also bugged (but I didn't notice)
So I figured out how I did it previously, and made a B2 patch too (as well as fixed the NPC in Opelucid).
Things to note:
- No idea why the B2 patch is smaller (perhaps it is because I didn't import maps used by W2 into B2, while W2 did import maps for B2?)
[in case the previous point leaves anyone unclear, any game has both B2 and W2 maps in them.]
- BW Victory Road cannot be directly restored, cause the map sizes are different. That's beyond my expertise.
- If I'm not mistaken, you'll need the USA version of the game to use the patch. Below checksums are for clean games:
B2 MD-5: 1C5CE747E7ED4431E2044F123EC7C951
W2 MD-5: 32485892A6F36D80F7D9B54FB398EB12
- Utilizing the patches will probably shrink the game. (SDSME seems to do that?)
- I probably will not work on this further, so don't bother leaving suggestions or request.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Special Episode 0: In A Dark Past (Complete!)
By Canete16
Hello everyone! My name is Canete16, and I'm the creator of this Pokémon Mystery Dungeon which revolves around two of the most, if not THE most, memorable characters of the entire franchise: Grovyle and Dusknoir from Explorers of the Sky.
In this hack, you will discover how they ended up having such opposite ideals and objectives starting off from a context where they both were allies and even close friends. The hack will then, of course, connect with the Explorers storyline at its very end, adding up for a great backstory for this two great characters in addition to their contribution to the plot and their beloved Special Episode, which concluded their story beautifully.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Seven Symphonies (Acts 1, 2 & 3 OUT!)
By Canete16
Hello everyone! My name is Canete16. You may know me from my previous work on Special Episode 0: In A Dark Past, another PMD hackrom that you can check out here:
The project turned out to be a great success and many people were asking for a sequel to it. I was and I still am motivated enough to keep writing and creating stories, therefore,
after gathering enough resources and teaming up with my talented co-creator Assidion...
We decided to go for that much desired sequel, which will continue the events of both SE0 and Explorers' late postgame!
This time, the plot will unfold throughout the legendary Destiny Tower, which will have a drastically different nature to the one we already knew in several PMD titles.
New features:
- Randomized dungeon disposition & tilesets for a much more replayable experience
- Typing (starters/fairy-types) and balance changes (all included in the README .txt)
- New Hidden Stairs gimmick: The Divine Domain
- Test your luck at Gholdengo's Phantombola!
And much, much more to discover...

H Mystery Dungeon - Explorers of H
By Mudkid
A very dumb, scrappy hack of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon based off the Pokémon H hack for Pokémon Red made by IoIxD (and conquered by Saltydkdan), made with SkyTemple.
you can download the original Pokemon H hack on IoIxD's site here: https://www.ioi-xd.net/pokeh
Custom H Sprites made by Me, Mudkid
The original Pokemon H had very in-depth lore that i didn't realise it had until i completed this, and i don't know if i can really live up to that with anything, so for all intensive purposes this hack is non-canon and just a spinoff.
The purpose of the hack is that it replaces almost all of the Pokémon with the letter H, along with most of the digits in the font, making a Pokémon experience which is just like playing in a foreign language while also being half blind and hopefully not insane soon enough.
I'm not too experienced with SkyTemple as I began learning how everything works for the purpose of this hack, and the hack might be rough around the edges (namely certain cutscene specific sprites that show up in some situations still showing Pokémon other than H), but almost everywhere info is obscured.
many animations are weird too since of how the game handles animation slots (you'll see this in how most of the Pokémon use the sleep animation for a lot)
I put this together mainly because I thought the Pokémon H experience would be so much more stupid in Mystery Dungeon, with things like the heavy item usage, Belly, PP management and even random Pokémon like Drifblim spamming moves like Ominous Wind which you now wont ever see coming nor understand your first time
The files include the hack as a delta patch, with the delta patcher included for ease of access. the hack is suited for a US rom of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.
if that doesnt work try something else maybe, that's all i really know.
If anyone wanted this to exist then here you go I guess, enjoy H.
Non H Pokémon
Bellsprout: Replaced with I (I believe the original hack did this) Dialga: Replaced with Luigi (Luigi is important in this series) Palkia: Replaced with Mario (Mario brother) Luigi and mario both use sprites from Super Mario World, i chose not sprites from a Mario RPG game on purpose
Extra Digits Changed to H for maximum obscurity
Numbers ( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 ), Changed to H in the original hack, but also in the name of the Pokémon Porygon-2 Hyphens ( - ), In names Ho-oh, Porygon-2 and Porygon-Z Single Quotation Marks ( ' ), In name Farfetch'd Periods ( . ), In names Mr. Mime and Mime Jr. Gender Symbols ( ♂, ♀ ), In names Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀
The only gender is now H, take from that what you will
don't go to my twitter or other external sites, I probably don't deserve it, follow someone else
https://twitter.com/mudkidstuff
Disclaimer: i bet people liked the Kecleon J when they saw it but i removed it, the thing is its not nearly as funny as what "I" was in the original hack for pokemon red, just because you cant catch I in that hack, doesnt make turning kecleon into J any funnier, because i felt rare in the original, as opposed to the J here being seen constantly after the 2nd dungeon. you could still challenge yourself to catch a Kecleon H if you really hate yourself, but the extra flair isnt needed.
besides, maybe youll get the shop owner in dungeons confused with regular enemies and doom yourself on accident, that'd be funny.

Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen (English) e-Reader Restoration Patch
This is a feature-complete patch for Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen that restores all e-Reader content cut from non-Japanese releases of the game.
Using these cards, players are able to battle new trainers within the Trainer Tower on Island Seven of the Sevii Islands.
Up to 8 cards can be scanned at a time, and the order in which they are scanned determines which Trainer Tower floors the trainers occupy, as well as their teams.
Scanning these cards also provides new items rewarded upon clearing the Trainer Tower in the target time.
To scan cards, FireRed or LeafGreen must be inserted into one Game Boy Advance, and it must be linked via Link Cable to another Game Boy Advance containing an English e-Reader.
Players must select 'MYSTERY GIFT' from the CONTINUE menu (Unlocked by entering 'LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL' in the survey at the counter of any Poké Mart) in Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen and follow the on screen prompts to scan cards.
If using emulation, mGBA is recommended.
This patch was designed to be as faithful as possible to a hypothetical official release that included e-Reader compatibility, so we've made sure that the game connects to the English version of the e-Reader, and both the cards and the ROM loaded into the e-Reader have also received full localization.
A full set of localized card files are included within the download in the 'Card Files' folder.
How to patch:
The .GBA files for FireRed and LeafGreen can be patched using FLIPS: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1040/
Currently the patch is only available for US versions of the game.
Extract the contents of this download.
Run FLIPS
Select 'Apply Patch'
Select the Patch for your chosen game (located in the 'Patch Files' folder)
Select the Source File
Either an unpatched .gba file of

Pokémon Grand Colosseum - Original Rui Restored
This is a simple patch to modify the brilliant Pokémon Grand Colosseum made by Kya.
While Grand Colosseum is an amazing romhack, if I had to make one complaint it would be my personal dislike of Rui's redesign. I've come across many others who also prefer the original design. So I have taken the liberty of restoring her design to the original sprite used in the Japanese versions of the game (see images attached). This sprite was later slightly censored for the US release. (Refer to this video for a comparison)
Essentially this patch fulfils a similar function to the “Localized Title” patch from Pokemon Colosseum Restoration, but for Grand Colosseum instead! It is built for the most recent release v3.1 of Grand Colosseum. There are three versions of the patch corresponding to the version of Grand Colosseum you used (Kanto, Johto or Hoenn).
How to patch:
1. Apply the Grand Colosseum patch of your choice to a clean Pokemon Colosseum ISO, following the instructions given by the creator. (Recommend using v1.0.0.0 of NUPS patcher which is included in the zip file, as other patchers are known to cause issues)
2. Download the corresponding version of this patch and unzip it. Apply it to the patched ISO produced in step 1 using the same NUPS patcher.
3. Done! To confirm if it is working, check if Rui's design on the title screen matches the images attached above.
(If for some reason the patcher shows an error (which should not happen), set "If file is invalid" to "Ignore" in NUPS patcher before patching.)
Other notes:
This patch is compatible with the Nuzlocke Patches made by Kya for Grand Colosseum.
For all info and documentation regarding Grand Colosseum, please refer to the Project Pokemon page for that hack linked above. This patch does not change anything apart from Rui's design.
All credits for the original romhack go to Kya. My contribution is quite insignificant. But hopefully this is useful to someone!
