As far as I can tell, it looks legit to me. Guess it is a Nintendon't problem after all.

In that case either it wasn't extracted properly with Crystaltile, or the surrounding data is different (which it frankly shouldn't be). In any case, as it stands I won't be able to assist you any further. Hopefully someone with a better idea of what is going on would pop in to help you.

Show me the "Find" window you use, before you hit enter.

Not the entire game. Use Crystaltile2 to extract the arm9, THEN use HxD to look for it.

extract it out then use HxD (a hex editor)'s search function. In case you didn't realize, I'm not using Crystaltile's Hex viewer. In any case, even if you manage to replace the value and import the arm9 file back in, I cannot guarantee it'll work, so I don't make edits like that. ALSO, don't multi-post. If no one replied you, edit the new information into your latest unanswered post.

perhaps post an image of the front, back, and the bottom (to show the chip) of the cartridge, so that people can identify if the cartridge is the problem.

Black 2 arm9 I know offset and data above for Black 2 is correct, as it matches what was given in the other thread: I tried using the offset of 0x13F0C for Black, but noticeably it didn't work for my copy of Black version. Offset probably is different because it's a different variant or different version ID. Since you mentioned you couldn't find it, I assume it's the same for you too. Based on the bytes found in the Black 2 arm 9, I searched for these bytes (not just 08 28, but rather the whole highlighted portion below), and a different offset with the same parts of data appeared. I'm assuming this is correct for my version of Black. You could do the same thing as me, and search for those bytes. Black arm9

Erm, that's because Mystery Gift files, the specific wonder cards, are supposed to be used in their own generation. It's not an error message. It is literally telling you that you are doing it all wrong. Like, you can't redeem a Gen 4 wonder card on a Gen 7 save, that doesn't make sense. Normally, you're supposed to redeem it on a Gen 4 game, THEN transfer the pk4 all the way up to Gen 7. In any case, drag the wonder card to the left window of PKHeX. It should mimic the redemption and transfer procedure.

maybe it's a fake cartridge?

No. It's a ROM file. and requesting for it is against the rules.

voted 5/7 better translation

Rough translation, first paragraph: Not too sure about second paragraph, but I think it is (As in do not run this program if Pokémon DP is not present) Bottom screen: edit: I'm not sure if しょうじょう refers to symptom or handheld... I'm going with handheld for now.

check if the info on this post is accurate: and also, read this thread:

At this point, I don't think anything is certain, as I'm unable to test for myself. You can go ahead and try the steps you initially listed, but at your own risk. Make sure you keep a safe save backup that is pre-modification, in case anything goes wrong.

if you intend to replace the battery, then follow the steps you found :3

He's just showing you what stage of the game he is in. It doesn't matter. Yes, PKHeX can fix the glitch. However, PKHeX cannot fix dead batteries. For the case you linked (the reddit post), the guy doesn't have dead batteries. His battery was replaced. It is not the same issue as you are experiencing, if I understand your descriptions right.

Erm, USUM can accept any Pokémon from any generation before Gen 7, as long as it's not some kind of exclusive Pokémon (Spiky Ear Pichu, Cosplay Pikachu for example). Please DO post the image, I am very curious about this error message.

at 03:19, on his NDS, he launched his R4 cartridge that is in the NDS slot.

I can't see the video, could be region locked on youtube.

Yeah he’s basically saying he used PKHeX to fix the dead battery, after dumping the save with GBA backup tools right? In all honestly I’m not sure if that’s accurate way to deal with dead battery. It may be possible that when your RTC is resetted, the clock will still run, but only while you’re playing the game, but I cannot be certain, as I do not have a GBA and dead battery cart with me now to confirm. Also, I'm not entirely certain, but I think part of the steps from the guy above mentions running the save file on a GBA flashcart the rest of the way? In that case, it won't work if you send it back to a GBA cart... If you decide to proceed, it’ll be at your own risk

erm. Any NDS flash cart that can run homebrew, and can run on a NDS should work fine. Note: If your intent is to fix the berry glitch, alternatively, connecting your GBA with RS to a second GBA, that has FRLG or Emerald. (instructions and various other options here) BTW, Emerald doesn't experience Berry Glitch, unless the internal battery is dead. If your internal Battery for RSE is dead, you won't be able to repair it with PKHeX.

Whoa whoa. I'm not looking for extremely precise information (though it'll be good for some of our trustworthy members to know/to have the flame passed down to them, even if it is not public). Not having information passed down to the next generation typically leads to lost information, and eventually, the death of a civilization. Don't even need the exact steps. Let's say if I'm told a NDS flash cart could overwrite a dev cart, that's pretty much enough information to detail how bloody easy it is. We previously already had an inkling that a certain mass gba reader could act as a rewriter for dev carts. It was previously speculated that these event carts were likely dupes to begin with. As much as this fear is well founded, given that we already have the information that people are rewriting dev carts to sell as event carts, I think it has already been happening behind our community's back. After all, people who were able to obtain the writer and the dev carts, likely already had this information at their disposal when they made the purchase, and they had the past 10-15 years to make all the modifications they want, and that's excluding any suspicious/unscrupulous activity. People with the tools and the devcarts has been doing this for years. If they were going to contribute them as a part of preservation, they had 10-15 years to do it. They probably already made up their minds a long time ago, regardless whether to hoard or sell as modified duplicate copies, just like how many others made up their minds a long time to ago that private preservation is better than a public preservation. I'm not arguing which view is better, as I'm sure there's merits to either argument, but I'm just saying that the situation has been dire for this long, just that we weren't aware of it. I don't see how this information would potentially make things worse, when I imagine unscrupulous actors likely bought up all the dev carts they could find to resell as events, and they had over a decade to do it.

Not entirely true. You can use those tools even if you're on original hardware. You probably just don't have access to them. 1. You can use a NDS/NDS lite and a DS flash cart to back up the save of your cartridge. With that, our guide would work for you. Once you get the save, it can be edited with PKHeX. 2. Even for original carts on GBA (let's say you don't have a NDS), Action replay and Gamesharks exists (as seen below). They work with original hardware. I *think* the first edition of these devices came out even before VBA emulator was properly a thing. Besides cheat codes, some of these can back up GBA saves too, which can in turn be used with PKHeX. (This is how I backed up my older saves before the NDS came out) In any case, these are probably a helluva expensive, compared to when I got mine. image source 1, 2, 3 So, assuming you don't have access to the above 2 options, hence why you're going through the trouble to glitzer pop: Before we continue, I need to ask you, which guide are you following to do Glitzer Popping? Are you doing Double Corruption, and are you using Seasor or Dots? If you did it via watching youtube videos, there's already one that exists: I used the method above to obtain the SEASOR Caterpie, which I then used to obtain Pokémon that has the Fateful Flag

Does your Emerald have all badges, and does the Mew obey your Emerald trainer in battle? edit: If you get a message like the one above, it's because your Mew is missing the Fateful Encounter flag. A sign that the flag is missing, is that Mew won't obey you (most of the time), even when you have all badges. In the Gen 3 games, it shares this trait with Deoxys. Now that we identified the issue: 1. Use editing tools to give it the flag or 2. Use a cheat code to give the flag, or 3. Glitzer pop another Mew, but this time ensure it has the flag.

Is your Nintendo Switch hacked/modified (has CFW or homebrew on it)? If it isn't, then there's no way. Regardless if hacking/adding Pokémon/manipulating saves/trading with someone that has a manipulated save, a modified Switch is required somewhere along the process. Only modified Switch can import and export saves. If your Switch is modified, we've got a guide for you, in relation to managing saves on a modified Switch. If your Switch is NOT modified, you could try asking for someone to trade you modded Pokémon via here, but note that Nintendo Online requires a paid subscription, and also modified Switches has a risk of being banned. I think people will be less inclined due to those reasons. edit: You could opt to get your Switch modified (if it isn't), but only if it's a pre-Mariko unit.
