_Retro_ Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) After much turmoil over rom patches that only work on Windows, I have created a rom patcher that works in OS X. 6jRKw8P86dc http://rapidshare.com/files/284142416/DS_Rom_Patcher.zip http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PEN7XOAE View larger video here I made this to work with Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, and I have tested it with both KazoWAR's and Raqib12's patches. In theory, this patcher can patch any DS rom that uses xdelta patches. Note: I could not find a freezing patch file for HeartGold/SoulSilver. There are 2 out there, but they are .exe files, not patch files. In order to have a HG/SS with the freezing fix, you must either start with a pre-patched rom(Search on Google) or use a patch that has the freezing fix in it. I ask that the makers of the translation patches add freeze-protection in their patches, or that the makers of the freezing patches make their patches availiable as a patch file.

bear831 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Thanks man my PC isn't working this is just what I needed.
Roland Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 If there is confirmation that this patcher does work with all Xdelta patch files I'd like to request your permission to include it bundled in the Non-GUI versions of my hack so that the Non-GUI versions are completely compatible with PC, Linux and Mac.
_Retro_ Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) My patcher works with your patch, so I think its safe to say my patcher works with all xdelta patches. Go ahead and include it in your bundle. Edited October 3, 2009 by _Retro_
Greencat Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Downloading it right now. Thank you SO MUCH! <3 xdelta3: not a VCDIFF input: XD3_INVALID_INPUT Um, I'm not sure what happened, but I don't think it patched it since I didn't get a "name"-patched.nds. Edited October 3, 2009 by Greencat
_Retro_ Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Downloading it right now. Thank you SO MUCH! <3 Um, I'm not sure what happened, but I don't think it patched it since I didn't get a "name"-patched.nds. Did you make sure both the rom name and the patch name have no spaces? Also, I got this error when using one of Kazo's v6 patches. I got it to work by using the patch from his Batch folder. Also, make sure you are using a clean rom, or else the game ID number won't match the patch ID number. Edited October 3, 2009 by _Retro_
Greencat Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 It's a clean ROM and both have no space. It think it may be the patch. Can you link me to the patch you used?
_Retro_ Posted October 4, 2009 Author Posted October 4, 2009 http://kazo.romulation.net/HGSS_English_Patch.rar That's Kazo's version 6 translation. Another person had this problem, and they said they solved it by using the patch that is in the Batch folder.
JohnnyM Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Thank you so much!!! Except it didn't work for Kingdom Hearts 358-2 Days (U) Xenophopia Edited October 9, 2009 by JohnnyM
_Retro_ Posted October 10, 2009 Author Posted October 10, 2009 Thank you so much!!!Except it didn't work for Kingdom Hearts 358-2 Days (U) Xenophopia Which patch did you use? Remember this only works with xdelta patches.
Aarux Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I just downloaded the patcher, and since I had no clue how to use, was about to watch the guide, but... Is there any particular reason why this video is 'private'? Is it supposed to come up with that?

Is it supposed to come up with that? Oops, that was an error on my part. It should be back to normal now :biggrin:
Aarux Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Thank you very much. Also, the first 4 or 5 times I tried patching my SS, it came up with some 'Invalid Input' message... what does that mean? The patch (KazoWAR's v6) and rom were in the right folder, no spaces. It worked after a couple times, but I'm just wondering if there's a specific cause?

It worked after a couple times, but I'm just wondering if there's a specific cause? If they are the Katakana patches, they don't work. I've talked with Kazo about it and he says they use a different patcher, so I would have to make a separate patcher for those. If they are the english-name patches they should work.
