What is found is, editing the text POKE RANGER B5BJ01- to POKE RANGER B5BJ00- for some odd reason breaks Japanese redemption. Editing the 01 to anything else breaks Japanese redemption I wonder if that's related to language recognition. edit: It's probably just game cart recognition. NDS games have similar title structure too. Something something 01 Also, removing the AGB header breaks redemption. Interesting, changing all bytes from range: 0xC0 to 0xFFFFF, to data: 0x01 or 0x0100 breaks redemption too. Filling them with 0x01000000 re-allowed redemption. (0x00 made it work fine, as described earlier by BlackShark) edit2: redocumenting decchi and PCD relations it still works when it's trimmed down: final byte being 0x1004A7 Heck, it still works when 0x10010 to 0x100FF are replaced by 0x00s edit3: What if we're misunderstanding how the block works. Maybe it's not looking for a "region code", but rather, the field where extra cards for languages could have been are not populated, hence it can't find a card? (probably not...) Given that I blanked out all the apparently unused areas, and trimmed down the size, I'm guessing it's the NDS cart that is searching for a particular value within the 'useless' region. (Given that changing that entire sector to non-00 kills the distribution for JP)

If you replace every byte from 0xC0 - 0xFFFFF with zeros the distribution cart still works without difference if I remember correctly. So I suppose these bytes are unrelated to the distribution functionality. In that area you can find the image you can see when booting on a GBA, showing ZP3J (offset 0x514) as well as 9 more similar images.

Will be possible in the next release for acquired secret base data. Import/Export {location - trainer name.sb6} data

That might be why I shifted by 1 for my testing savefile back 3 years ago; you might have to debug for that one. XD saves aren't the same as mainline saves, they're kinda dynamically saved.
