This is a feature-complete patch for Pokémon Colosseum that restores all e-Reader content cut from non-Japanese releases of the game. Players are able to battle 'VR Trainers' in the Card e Room, located through the left door of the lobby in Phenac Stadium (usually inaccessible in international versions). By registering with the attendant in the Card e Room players can scan e-Reader cards to participate in Panel Battles, rewarding with items and Poké Coupons -- as well as access to e-Reader exclusive Shadow Pokémon. To participate in these battles, the game must be linked to a Game Boy Advance containing an English e-Reader, and the e-Reader cards must be scanned when prompted. If using emulation, Dolphin has native support for Game Boy Advance linking in its settings. 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. Additionally, the e-Reader staff have been restored to the credits sequence. A full set of localized card files are included within the download in the 'Card Files' folder. How to patch: The ISO can be patched using xdelta, we recommend xdelta UI for convenience: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/ Currently the patch is only available for US versions of the game (NTSC) Extract the contents of this download. Run xdelta UI Select the Patch (located in the 'Patch File' folder) Select the Source File (An unpatched ISO of Pokémon Colosseum) Select a location for the Output File Press the 'Patch' button at the bottom.
