Just a few questions for clarity: did you edit items correctly? (To test, add some other item to satchel) [asking cause I was able to do it one PKHeX version prior] are you at the correct version update of the game? (What mega stones were you trying to add, etc)

Should be the ID here https://fxtwitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1999377573713985633

Checkpoint doesn’t necessarily dump fake card save. This was in your save I can’t imagine any good reason a save will have that text; conclusion is that whatever you did, that is not a save file. try TWLsaveloader, maybe that will work

Make sure you use the flag names, not flag IDs. Make sure you have the mega stones. Make sure you do prerequisites (I think you need to at least clear base game story) Probably don't play on emulator.

To some extent that's all Pokémon games; it appears they tend to plan for all kinds of crazy ideas, but they run against the brick wall called skill and production deadlines. It's a sad reality that a lot of things in life get hampered by deadlines. To some extent it feels like an architect's vs engineer's argument over whether a project is possible, but I digress

fair commentary Is it rushed though? I know others would disagree (they would said it's scummy to market DLC even before main game is out. and using that logic, the DLC was already ready) Yeah, the RNG is a pain tho. I get a controller to auto reset and makes donuts for me, and I also review the final product before deciding whether to get my controller to save scum or to save it. I don't know about stable build, but it's already there in the current development build

Save uploads not for PLZA not allowed here, file removed. Are you on an emulator?

I mean, of course. It’s not like PKHeX updates immediately -.- requires human hands to identify and forge the program; the process isn’t magic. please wait patiently.

I’ll look into that later, provided I wasn’t fully absorbed by the DLC

What game you looking at? What game was the parsecs hatched in? Is SPIKE the move (it sounded like a nickname)

I’m not super sure, but go through the settings, I think you can change PKHeX’s default trainer details. Then restart the app, use encounter database

While we couldn’t help with Rom hacking, we did try to help: 1) gave you one of the names I’ve heard of in recent times (meaning still active) 2) we even found something that would help in our personal downtime (couldn’t send it cause you left Discord in such a hurry) 3) provided valid factors to explain why this endeavour in current times won’t be easy Tried to remain calm while your language was, let’s say, colourful, from the get-go. In any case, since you’re no longer interested I’m locking this thread, and keeping it up for posterity edit: Before I start, let me just say that you’ve put in effort into your solo build, persevering as long as you have, no one can take that away from you. As someone who didn’t know programming and ended up with silly mini plugins, letting you know I see you. Now, last word of advice, please don’t take this the wrong way, this is a honest hand-to-heart advice. It sounds like you’re unknowingly modelling your behaviour off people who asked previously asked you for favours, who maybe even raised you. Having that behaviour is not a good way to live. No matter how they insisted, how they treated you, that is not the way to ask for things, and not the way you should see things, too. Maybe start with a friend that will set you right, and perhaps escalate to a psychiatrist if it does not get better. Please take some time off the toxic internet, and focus on yourself. Take care.

So the sunken cost fallacy, huh. Got it >< Frankly I don’t personally know any ROM hackers that accepts commissions. The only one I heard of in recent times is Atsign (don’t know how his name is spelt; the guy that makes fun Gen III romhacks for SmallAnt), however I don’t know how to contact him nor whether he accepts commissions apart from SmallAnt.

@Terry Jones if you like, I can see how your account got removed. Would you like your original username back? Also, do not upload .gba files, and only upload patches. It isn’t as drastic as you think. The factors you gotta consider are: (1) Gen 3 ROM hacking scene isn’t as big as before, (2) people who were good at it probably aged up by now, has other commitments and responsibilities, and stopped playing Pokemon, (3) the reality is that people only participate in projects they’re personally interested in, and it doesn’t help (in terms of motivation) when the project lead is inexperienced; one can’t be so entitled to expect strangers to sink their time into something they personally aren’t interested in. I imagine it doesn’t help when turn project lead sprinkles snide comments throughout their project pitch or their responses To be frank, anyone can come up with a vision (no matter how small or lofty), and it takes one’s skills and connections to get it moving (4) money, well, sadly is required as it is how the world goes around, though I personally won’t recommend it unless the other party is reputable. (Don’t want people to get scammed) (5) honest question (no judgement, don’t be offended): if this is a “dead website” to you, why bother posting here? I think there’s other sites with slightly active Gen 3 modders (not that it’s much better). From what I’ve seen since your original post, it has been filled by people asking for help, mainly for PKHeX stuff, as well as activity with plugin creation. This is probably why your post hasn’t garnered much responses.. Sorry for the wall of text, I know it’s a lengthy reply. Hope I’ve covered your points across the life of this thread.

Checking it in fashion isn’t enough. there’s something else the save looks for, no idea what thou

I doesn't work the way you think it doest; even with the correct files in BCAT, the games will still attempt to connect to the network before receiving the gift from BCAT.

Masterball Arceus from Diamond is not legal, could only be captured by cheats (cheat codes or glitching). Do you still have accecss to your Diamond? Also share any screenshots you would have.

There's these entries in the Block Editor for SV Just change the bool from the current selected bool value to the other one. I'm not sure whether it needs other flags to be set. Use at your own risk. There's a lot of undocumented blocks in SWSH, so I didn't see it there.

Looks like it just came out a few hours ago. Please wait patiently

Make sure you're at "Flags", and try searching via the "name" instead of "index". Once you activated the flag make sure you send the save back to your Switch, then visit B3 of Lysandre's Lab. What part of the story are you at right now?

Sorry but depending on usage, clean could refer to no piracy. CFW itself isn’t piracy, and games played on consoles with CFW can go online. I’ve been using Pokemon HOME with CFW since launch. Still, keep in mind it’s all at your own risk.

Why is modded Switch considered unclean? I use modded Switch to go HOME and use CFW all the time? It’s only a ban risk if you do anything ban worthy, and CFW itself ain’t it..

Done Done Done done Done

That file name, you dumped it as "save" didn't you? Maybe using the tools you mentioned in the first post? That won't do; I suspect you didn't fully follow what I sent. For bootleg carts, the save data is actually stored in the ROM. If you follow through what I linked, you'll be able to extract the save file from the ROM data. (and just a reminder, don't upload the ROM itself onto our site. Read the tutorial and figure it out) Make sure you save the game a few times on the cart. Then try to use GBABF to dump the data. Then use the program to extract the save. Saves from extracted by my program wouldn't yield that name.
