You should be able to find it on the site you released the Gen 3 distributions on

Just an update, I extracted pokechan.bin and found a GBA header within it. Just need to find the ending offset, with the help of ajxpk. So I guess that's promising...

@St. GIGA If you're talking about the recreation roms, ajxpk said he would share them, I think he just wanted to verify some things first. It will happen soon, give him the time.

OH! I think I have Channel's equivalent of pokedownload.tgc(different name) somewhere, not sure. That's definitely one we should do. Edit: Nevermind, I think I was just remembering it being mentioned in a discussion once... Though, I don't know much about CHANNEL Jirachi. It did send via multiboot, right? Or wasn't it more like Ageto Celebi?

How did you get the rom?

GOT IT! Actually, visual examination proved easy to spot where the MB ended, as everything past it was clearly some unrelated trash. Then I used @ajxpk's method to recreating Negaiboshi, etc, and done!

Thanks @InsaneNutter, I didn't expect us to obtain this MB so quickly! I have the .tgc and found the GBA header within it. I assume it's roughly the same size as the English version, but I'm not wise to finding the ending offsets of MBs yet, so I'll have to consult @ajxpk Once that is done, getting it on GBA is the easy part.

Awesome! Can you PM me the .tgc or a link to the exact iso you downloaded?

I found the JPN Berry Glitch Shiny Zigzagoon GameCube Distribution hidden away on the Japanese Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc from January 2004! If its listed on the discs menu system its far from obvious to someone to someone who can't read Japanese, however it's easily found in the discs file system. You will find it under local > tgc > Ruby_And_Sapphire_Rev.tgc and can convert it to an ISO to use on real hardware with tgc to gcm (untested at present). If you look at the banner info you will find the name of the disc is "ジラーチ配布ディスク２００３年６月" which translates to "Jilachi Distribution Disk June 2003." The banner description is "新ポケモン　ジラーチが君の手に！" which roughly translates to "New Pokemon Jirachi is in your hands! We can speculate the JPN Pokemon Berry Glitch Shiny Zigzagoon Distribution is based on the the Wishing Star Jirachi distribution, which was distributed from June 1 to August 24, 2003 in Japan.

Does anyone actually own a disc with the JPN Berry Fix Glitch Zigzagoon? I was trying to track this down last year however never could. Someone did sent a few of JPN GameCube Demo ISO's my way from around the time of the Berry Fix Glitch distribution, however none of them looked to have the distribution on the disc. That's not to say it might not still be in the file system somewhere as @ajxpk mentioned, which leads me on to asking what are the best tool for exploring the contents of a GameCube game these days?

Regarding Ageto Celebi, I looked into it. While the initial Celebi received is added to the Colosseum party as I had originally thought, the remaining 48 are sent directly to a GBA game. Also found a video: Sounds and looks like a multiboot to me! Unfortunately, I can't find any details on Colosseum Pikachu. I guess we'll have to see. So at the moment, we need to extract pokechan.bin from a EUR Pokemon Channel iso, and whatever file in the JPN Bonus disc that should contain Ageto Celebi, and possibly Colosseum Pikachu. I'm not familiar with extracting files from isos, but I'm looking into tools.

Perfect idea!

Could check the two Nintendo GameCube Soft e-Catalog 2003 discs. I remember reading that one of those catalog discs (forget which one) had a special Chao download for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Sonic Adventure DX.

Yes, it does exist, same method as USA, it is also a Multigame Demo Disc

Only Ageto Celebi and Channel Jirachi. Pikachu is generated on console for the colosseum party. Celebi is received the first time into your party where cheats on the beta USA version can edit the pokemon given, but all celebi after that require a GBA-GCN cable, Japanese RS, and a free slot in storage and/or party. You can do this 48 times. AFAIK Channel Jirachi is infinite. @Invader TAK

When I get home, I will use CleanRip and extract the bin file

Regardless, it's nice that the Negaiboshi multiboot is on the North American Colosseum Bonus Disc. One less Japanese multiboot we need to get from collectors. Oh I just remembered something. Did you guys grab the CHANNEL Jirachi multiboot from PAL Channel?

I'm not a Dev of PKHeX, but I just wanna ask something: is it really necessary to indicate this as "urgent"? Lol
