soulsilver Pokémon MindCrystal

[MeroMero]

Hello,

I'm very excited to test this but I encountered a bug in the begining when Ethan shows me how to catch pokemons. The image freezes, the music continues but I can't reset the game. I play on a linker with my 3DS and I don't have any problem with the non-patched game be it with the linker or the original cartridge.

I hope there is a solution to my problem ! Thank you.

I see, some unforeseen consequences of this function located in ImprovedTrainers.s:

 

@Incorporate Shininess:xrpl_0206DF1A:NOPLDR	R2, [sP, #0x108]LDRB	R2, [R2, #-0x14]LDR	R3, =ShinyByteLDRB	R2, [R3, R2]LDR	R2, [sP, R2]LDRB	R2, [R2, #3]TST	R2, #0x80EOREQ	R1, R1, #0x80000000STR	R1, [sP, #0x3C]ADD	LR, LR, #0x22BX	LR

 

which is actually hooked on the function where the shiny lock for Trainer's Pokémon is done.

Instruction LDR R2, [sP, #0x108] is supposed to return an address in R2, problem is that the Rattata and the Marill from the catching tutorial also use this function, and in this case R2=0x0, which is a big no-no in a NDS.

As such I modified the function into this:

 

@Incorporate Shininess:xrpl_0206DF1A:NOPLDR	R2, [sP, #0x108]CMP	R2, #0BEQ	.ShinyCheckDoneLDRB	R2, [R2, #-0x14]LDR	R3, =ShinyByteLDRB	R2, [R3, R2]LDR	R2, [sP, R2]LDRB	R2, [R2, #3]TST	R2, #0x80.ShinyCheckDone:EOREQ	R1, R1, #0x80000000STR	R1, [sP, #0x3C]ADD	LR, LR, #0x22BX	LR

 

Which now takes into account the particular case where R2=0x0.

This also means that Rattata and Marill will never be shiny, which was already the case in retail games.

I will update the link, but first I want to test the game to see if there is any other major glitch.

do you plan to release this hack on english after you did all the things of your to do list? I'm very interested in this hack, but my french skills are to bad for playing it.

The problem is that after doing all those mods, I don't think I have enough left in the tank to do a translation on top of that, so no sorry.

But if you're interested someone was kind enough to translate MindCrystal in English:

https://mega.nz/#!SwNF2LwJ!9RuiKJ3DhkQ_fxDG9s1sxr_NjslRAfyP6yi0CNQiu1w

[GamingAori]

which version is the base of the english version?

Most of that still seems to be in French. EDIT: Only the male story line is translated, it seems.

On another note, if you could figure out how to get rid of the Control Info/Adventure info screen on a new game, that would be cool.

[NaSMaX]

Did you intend to make it so that the game is set to set then shift and we can't use items in battles? Also flaukner....WTF?

Ok got it, sorry for not reading. But for those trade evolves... you weren't specific. What is required to evolve Haunter?

[JonJon]

Is that translation using the last version of your rom? Cause if it is, I really want try it. I was also looking for a cool HG/SS to play and try to insert pokemons and edit them as well, it seems yours is one of the best here. Of course, if I edit something it will be for my own use and will not share here or anywhere else.

[Lunos]

Even tho I don't understand French pretty much at all, I'm giving this a go because of Crystal and all those pretty changes.

Also, wanted to drop these non-experience-breaking Action Replay codes that I've found over the internet and tested myself that worked.

Got it on a GBATemp Thread.

It would be better if we could also disable the attack animations, but whatever, the game goes fast enough. Nice work, greetings from Uruguay <3

EDIT: LOLWAT? I didn't expected for the Bug-Catcher before Violet City to have a Ledyba with Thunderpunch

EDIT2: Wow, things are harder than I thought, I totally understimated the Sprout Tower and got rekt because of those Hoothoot anihilating me after the Bellsprouts effort, I guess I'll have to take this more seriously

By the way, I'm kinda intrigued, how did you enabled 60FPS in these NDS Roms? It's pretty freaking awesome, no more feeling like a retard running at turtle pace, yaay.

^ EDIT: Nvm, found the way to remove the Framerate Limiter on my own, thanks to Google.

EDIT3: Had to restart my save because of some unnecesary-to-explain things and my Lv12 Totodile is getting rekt with the very 2nd trainer of the game, Pidgey's Sand Attack and Hoothoot's Hypnosis are a brutal combo, add to that the fact that you forced the players to not be able to use items in Trainerbattles and you have some serious troubles since the very beginning.

EDIT4: And I thought at first that you changed the GB Sounds for the NDS ones and viceversa in a way that using the GB Player would enable the NDS Style for the songs, but nope, even if you enable the GB Player, it restarts the map's music using the GB Sounds so there's no way to actually use the NDS tracks at the player's will, that's not really cool.

Coming soon: the Odd Egg, hatching into 1 Pokémon out of 17 possible species, and with 50% (actually 49.9904%) chance of being shiny.

Tested on a NDS:

Merci MeroMero :redface:

[greymoon14]

Hi, im new here, but I have been playing this hack and came across this item, could anyone possibly tell me what it is?

[MeroMero]

http://www.mediafire.com/file/0wwoa8sfgy8fbkj/Pokémon_MindCrystal(F)_v3.0.zip

The source folder contains some of the ASM, so you can check for yourself some of the code behind the improvements.

New:
Both Latias and Latios roam through Kanto at Lv.50.

Blue (the female FRLG deuteragonist) replaces Red in the female storyline (credits to NeonShadow2 for the sprites and NSora-96 for the overworld sprites).

Pokémon palettes were updated to B2W2 standards and then improved even further if necessary.

Some Pokémon were given a second type (Johto starters' final evolution for example).

Odd Egg given to you by the Day Care Lady, which can hatch into any of the 17 non-Togepi babies and has a 50% of being shiny.

Battle Frontier Pokémon from 351 to 950 are now tiered in the following fashion:
_Set 1: 351 to 533 (183 Pokémon)
_Set 2: 534 to 716 (183 Pokémon)
_Set 3: 717 to 899 (183 Pokémon)
_Set 4+: 351 to 950 ("183 Pokémon + 17 legendaries" times 3)
A new setting has been added for Battle Frontier Pokémon, now they can have an Ability:
_from either slot at random (default)
_locked to Slot 1
_locked to Slot 2
Battle Frontier Pokemon IV and EV generation has been modified to optimize Hidden Power, Gyro Ball and Trick Room most notably.

6 new Abilities were implemented:
_Cursed Body (Shuppet, Banette, Froslass)
_Magic Bounce (Natu, Xatu, Espeon, Absol)
_Slush Rush (Swinub, Piloswine, Mamoswine, Glaceon)
_Long Reach (Horsea, Seadra, Kingdra)
_Galvanize (Voltorb, Electrode)
_Queenly Majesty (Vespiquen)

The following moves are now bounced back by Magic Coat and Magic Bounce:
_Whirlwind
_Roar
_Disable
_Spikes
_Foresight
_Encore
_Torment
_Taunt
_Odor Sleuth
_Miracle Eye
_Embargo
_Heal Block
_Toxic Spikes
_Defog
_Stealth Rock

All trees have Pokémon now, most of them default to Group 1.

Starf Berry can now sharply increase accuracy and evasion as well.

Stats will always be calculated assuming an IV of 31, regardless of the actual IV value, this is done to not disavantage you too much against trainer Pokémon, especially early-game.

TMs are now reusable:
_you can no longer throw away TMs
_you can no longer give TMs to hold
_Purchasable TMs, regardless of the currency, can only be bought one at time and only once
_TM56, TM86 and TM26 are no longer Pickup items and were replaced with Lucky Egg, Life Orb and PP Max respectively
_as such, each TM is available only once

HP bar graphics in battle were changed:
_HP are now displayed for the opposing side in single format, double format is unchanged in that regard

Alternate forms from Trainers now have their correct Ability (instead of the Base form's) as well as their correct Stat spread (again instead of the Base form's).
Shellos and Gastrodon East Sea forms are now available in Kanto.

 

 

New fixes:
Sleep Talk can now be used multiple times under the effect of Choice items and/or Encore.

Headbutt Trees encounters ignore Intimidate and Keen Eye.

Cute Charm encounters have been improved:
_Cute Charm-generated PID are no longer restricted, which means you can't abuse anymore Cute Charm for easy Shinies
_assuming the initial check succeeded (2 chances in 3), Cute Charm won't generate a new PID in the following cases:
__If Cute Charm would actually decrease the odds of encountering a given gender for one given species,
__If the Cute Charmer is genderless,
__If the Wild Pokémon is a specimen of a male-only species,
__If the Wild Pokémon is a specimen of a female-only species,
__If the Wild Pokémon is a specimen of a genderless species,
__If the Wild Pokémon's gender is already the opposite of the Cute Charmer's

 

 

Bugfix:
Capture Tutorial fixed
Additional Trainers fixed
Tough Claws fixed
Non-Sturdy Pokémon benefitting from Sturdy fixed
Mom always buying Haban Berry out of the 18 Berries fixed
Mistake on Bug Catching score fixed
Mistake on Egg IV calculation fixed
Growth, Minimize, Sweet Scent and Tail Glow not boosting their respective stats properly when called by other moves fixed
Acupressure failing if called by other moves and if the user is behind a Substitute fixed
Roseli Berry not always reducing super-effective Fairy-type moves fixed
Lugia summoning cutscene slowed down to 30 FPS to work on a NDS
Ho-Oh summoning cutscene slowed down to 30 FPS to work on a NDS
Script error on Egg move tutor fixed

TODO:
!Damage-reducing berries now halve the damage that was to be taken before Endure and Sturdy are taken into account

!18 new items: the Gems
_A Gem will not be consumed if the move is going to fail, regardless of the reason
_Moves that deal fixed damage or whose damage does not depend on the damage formula are ignored

update the encounter tables

update the trainers tables

[Halfshadow]

Can you do something to add Rage Candy Bar and Slowpoké tail to the banned held-able item list like Kurt's balls and Contest and Park ball? Also overwriting the last 2 (that normally cannot be obtained in the bag) with the 2 that I wish from the banned list? I changed the items to work regularly and now Rage candy is a regular medicine item and works exactly like the Potion, but could be held by a pokémon and then traded in another game, not is a great job... Can you please do something to fix this?

Edited May 28, 2017 by Halfshadow

[Spark_Melody]

For some reason it won't work for me. Everytime I try to load the file of the game it doesn't show my DS emulator and I can't play it. Hopefully somebody can help me

[LugiaKB]

It would be good to have a doc describing all the features of this hack... Like which pokémon were retyped and which ones received new abilities

[ravenssong]

i tryed to use ar codes on this n they wouldnt work is this game anti them even with soul silver ones or does it have specific ones for it if so that be helpfull so i dont have to worry about money as much

[Peachpidon]

I fear answering to this topic is something akin to resurecting the dead but I wanted to go back to SoulSilver and I tried this romhack again and the patch was sucessfull, I was able to get past the caching tutorial. (I thought I should provide feedback being the one to point out the bug, even 2 years later, ahem)

But now I have a question, is it possible to get the fps back to normal ? I feel like the game is stuttering. It's not gamebreaking or something, and I don't mind to do some hexa editing, so if someone have an idea I would be very grateful.

[Nikko.K]

Hello, I' would like to know if this is possible to hack Pokemon HGSS for all the pokemon have their two abilities on the same time ? Thank you :)

 

Bonjour, j'aurai aimé savoir s'il y a un moyen de modifier  le code source des jeux Heart Gold et Platine s'il vous plait ?
J'aimerai faire en sorte que les Pokémon aient leurs 2 talents actifs en même temps ?
Par exemple, nous n'avons pas a choisir entre les talents "Regard Vif" et "Pied Confus" de Roucarnage, il aura ses deux, (ainsi que tous les Pokemon evidemlent). 
Merci d'avance :)
