I don't have an AR code for the Wonder Card, but I figured out the make-up of the All Routes open AR code. If I knew which routes you currently have open, I could give you a code which would open Yellow Forest in addition to your existing routes. I had to do that for my normal Heartgold Save as I missed the event, but wanted Yellow Forest, and did not want to have all the routes instantly available as I wanted to unlock them in the normal way.

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but I got a little lost at the contents of this topic. OK, figuring the hex string for the moves was easy enough. Let me say, I know hex. In years gone I did a lot of game memory hacking on the original Playstation with Gran Turismo 2 and even had some scripts on a Web site to generate Action Replay Codes (with their attendant encryption) from game data in "English". I know bit "functions" such as And (if bits are 1 on both arguments) and Or (1 on either) and I presume Xor (1 on either but not both?). Is there somewhere with an example decryption taken at a slightly lower level that I may be able to follow. The reason I ask is that I like to put the PP values into Pokegen and currently have the moves in Excel, for ease, and given a decent insight into the workings of the Encryption, I could create a spreadsheet to maybe create an AR code from the Pokemon data which would automatically pick up the PP value. I do have the hex functions active in my Spreadsheet and do use them.

I have an original PSP which as far as I am concerned is a better option than the Go. The main disadvantage of downloading games is that you can never get them at bargain prices as the price rarely drops. Also you are pretty much limited to your own Region for games. Comapring with DSiXL? The Go would be more of a pocket device for portable gaming. For gaming in general the DSiXL would I suspect be too big to be comfortably portable. However there is a very wide choice of games and they work fine. My issue with PSP's is the analogue "stick" which I do not get along with, I presume the Go is better, but how good is it I wonder. PSP's do have the advantage of being able to show movies (which do seem to work well and are easily watchable).

I just tried some saves from Gamefaqs, after finally getting them to convert to .sav format. There was a save with some event Pokemon in it (Darkrai and Jirachi) but the Events button was not available to use. Similarly with a pretty full US save. As a comparison (and for my own interest) I tried my Platinum .sav file which has the Jirachi from the current event and in the Platinum version of Pokesav I could have edited the events. I wonder if anyone is able to access "Events " on the HG/SS version of Pokesav.

It means that the saves you downloaded were not converted properly (I had problems with a save from Gamefaqs admittedly). At least we know your ARDSi is OK. Here are my .sav version files for my Diamond, Pearl and Platinum if you want to try them out. Platinum_PokePlat.SAV Diamond_PokeDiam.SAV Pearl_PokePearl.SAV

Have you tried creating a new game (assuming you are free to do that),doing a save, backing up the save with the ARDSi. Starting a New Game with a different starter. Then restore the save you just backed up back onto the DS and see if it starts OK with it.

It comes up OK with the legality checker. Used Pokegen and there is not a huge amount of information there, other than Pokemon, the fact it was an egg and the moves it has, which I suppose you would expect with an egg. Did you get it in a Trade over Wifi?

Have you checked GameFaqs? There are some Soulsilver saves there, one of which (EU) definitely has Event Poekmon. They are in Action Replay format and I have not had much success in trying to convert them to a readable .sav format for some reason. I had no problem with my Platinum Save which I copied to my PC and converted to .sav format. That was readable and visually OK in Pokesav, so I am not sure what is different about the GameFaqs saves.

I'm not sure what you want, as you don't need to do anything to enable Mystery Gift (unlike Diamond and Pearl with the Jubilife TV Station). After you "Touch to Start", scroll down the initial screen where you load the game save, start a New Game or Connect to the Pokewalker. The next option down is Mystery Gift.

Not sure where we go from here, as the save appears to be OK. I presume I would also be able to read the file you downloaded OK. Have you considered contacting Datel to see if they have any advice. How long have you had your ARDSi?

I notice your save name is over 23 characters. ARDStoSav (only program to work) only works on filenames less than that. I'll check your save. Reads OK into my Pokesav first two Pokemon are Buizel and Politoed.

I presume this is for HG or SS? I admittedly modified the existing code. I made it so that it only affected the quantity of the first item (probably an Escape Rope) and the quantity of the first Pokeball. Press Start to get 493 of the first Poke Ball for the Pokemon Level and Press Select to give 100 to the first standard item (Escape Rope?). Discard as necessary for the Pokemon and Level and use the L button to activate the code when you are in the long grass.

If you go into Settings there is an option to Export the Code List. If you could attach one of your game saves for the Pokemon games to your next post I will have a look at it and see if I can do anything with it.

If you are just working on the Pokemon I would suggest using Pokegen which has a much smaller screen area and in my opinion is better than Pokesav for making Pokemon. It works from .pkm files. It is available here. http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?6424-Pokemon-Generator-%28Pokesav-replacement-for-Pokemon-editing%29&highlight=pokegen

I was wondering if you had the latest version of the PC ARDSi Manager program downloaded. My ARDSi (bought recently) is up to date and worked fine with the save. Have you tried other data on your Micro SD card just to make sure there is not a problem with that. You could try exporting your code list to XML and try reading that in Notepad to confirm it looks OK and that side is working.

I like Racing games First and Third Person Shooters and RPG's mainly with a definite liking for Strategy RPG's such as Disgaea. I also buy the occasional Beat 'em Up, Singstar, Guitar Hero and Rock Band games. The only MMORPG I play (from time to time) is Final Fantasy XI.

I tried downloading my save from Diamond onto my PC. Used a program (ARDStoSav) from here to convert it to .sav format so that I could read it in Pokesav. It may be worth you trying that to check that everything is working fine. At least it will eliminate some potential problems. Not sure what to suggest beyond that, but we'll try to progress further when we know that the save is OK. Check this topic for the program ARDStoSav, though you may need to download something from the Microsoft Web site to make it work. http://projectpokemon.org:80/forums/showthread.php?3751-ARDS-ME-%28%2A-DUC%29-to-%2A-SAV-%28and-back%29-Converter-%28Updated-to-Version-1-2-5%21%21%21%29#post44306

I have been able to back up my Diamond, Pearl and Platinum Saves using my ARDSi. WIth HG and SS the ARDSi cannot find the game cartridge to be able to do the save backup, so I presume I have no way of doing anything with the saves from those games.

I presume the saves came from the same region as your game. If you have a US game you need a US save etc.

Just had to create this for someone on GameFAQS. It is actually a Japanese Lv 40 Perfect IV Calm natured Ditto. Thought it would be worth posting the file in case anyone was interested. AR Code (use Select) into Box 12 Slot 1

It is the SID for a Shiny. Must admit I was just wondering if it should have been shiny. I have changed it. Here is the Shiny AR Code

Try this AR code for HG/SS. I reduced Atk IV to 29 to get a legitimate PID. I evened out the EV's at the maximum that is legitimate. I adjusted the PP to the maximum that is legitimate and gave it a trainer name and original trainer ID. It went through the legality check OK. Press Select to activate the code. The Pokemon will appear on the PC in Box 12 Slot 1 Edit: Just loaded the code to my ARDSi. Activated the code to get the Pokemon in Box 12. Saved the game and reloaded it wtithout the ARDSi in and the Pokemon is fine. Should pass any close inspection now.

I can generate a new code for HG/SS containing that Pokemon as it is now. Or I can make it look legitimate and then generate a code for it.

Is that Pokemon in the AR supposed to be a Lv 100 Metagross with EV's and IV's Maxxed out and a PP of 99 on every move? It appears to have come from Diamond and Pearl.
