New update, this one supports editing your badges (in HGSS, this includes kanto badges). I have fixed the SID and TID thing. Also saving for platinum should work now. I added a gender toggle and I have your and your rival name placeholders setup. Next on the todo list is to get poke at the save loading and saving some more (it seems to be a little complex in platinum, so while it will save OK now, your changes may not show up due to how it loads blocks). Then I need to get the full text editor done (including japanese), redo the font system I have no to support dynamically loaded fonts. Then I can complete the japanese keyboard, so that you can use japanese characters easier in names and etc. (it displays OKAY right now, but I am missing some of the symbols). Once I get those done I can get back to adding more features to the pokesav ds, like pokemon editing. Also yes, this new setup I have is much simpler. (so getting controls done is easier)

It already supports displaying (most of) them. Try it with a japanese save. (with japanese trainer name). Making a writing might take a little longer though. Also Platinum checksumming is wrong it seems, probably big block is wrong.

ja, a rough roadmap is.... finish up trainer editing (fairly simple), minus text editing (name editing will be last to go in) Get basic box layout working, listing all pokemon in a box and able to scroll through the boxes. (probably will use the pokemon box layout to a degree). Moving pokemon around will probably not be done here but later (you can do that in game anyway right). Initially basic ability to edit pokemon, Species, XP, IV, EV, and moveset. Add basic party editing now (same pokemon editing though, probably no autocalc) and then things will go from there.

IF IT DOESN'T WORK TRY PUTTING IT IN THE ROOT DIRECTORY! If your card supports the argv mod it should be OK in another directory (AKAIO, CycloDS, HomebrewMenu) Homebrew menu is included in the download! SOURCE I use 7zip, get a copy here! I use it because its better and faster then winrar or zip AND FREE. It works, it loads saves, it saves saves and does all that needed checksumming. Works with: Pokemon Diamond Pokemon Pearl Pokemon Platinum Pokemon Heart Gold Pokemon Soul Silver Remember to DLDI it for your cart if it doesn't automatically. Works on: CycloDS Evolution (before v1.55 root only) Acekard 2i AKAIO EZ-Flash V (root only) Most R4 clones (root only) Does not work on: Most slot 2 carts. ( sorry -.-;; ) Currently it does: Edits trainer dataTrainer Name Rival Name TID SID Gender Money Badges [*] Edits Box & Party Pokemon Move pokemon around boxes Delete pokemon Clone pokemon Edits Pokemon Name Edits Pokemon IV & EVs Edits Pokemon Moveset (autosets PP) Edits Pokemon Ability Edits Pokemon Species Edits Pokemon EXP/Level Edits Pokemon Item Edits Pokemon Trainer Data (name,tid,sid,gender) Edits Pokemon Contest Stats [*]Edits item data Add Items Inline Add (insert) Items Delete items. Automated Item Resort Latest Version: r11 Get the latest version: Download Next in line: (in no particular order) Cutting down the item lists to what can be put in bags (r12?) Rework windowing color system (almost done (r12ish)) Basic Pokedex Editing (r12ish?) Later: Finish Pokemon Editing (r10 to r15??) Wider range of save type support Retail Cart Eeprom Loading/Editing/Saving (very very experimental right now) Mail Editing (maybe?) r10 snapshots -------------------------------------------------- PPSE-DS Goals: Edit basic trainer data. Edit basic item data. Edit basic pokemon data. Maybe Edit Pokedex entry data. Do it with style. (End Goals) PPSE-DS will not and can not ever be a complete replacement for a computer based editor, due to the DS's limited memory and processing capabilities. (notably even simple pid generation is slow) Pokemon editing should eventually have: Auto calculation of battle data for party pokemon. Ability to edit moves. Change Nickname, Species, Ability, PID, Exp, IVs, EVs, Contest stats, TID, SID, OT Name, OT Gender, met date, met location, pokemon gender, pokerus, egg location, egg date, pokeball, held item, and that is probably about it. (no ribbons, etc, sorry) Item editing should cover each of the different bag slots, (and limit it to items which could be in them?). Trainer editing, should eventually have TID, SID, Money, badges, Name, Trainer Multiplayer Avatar, gender and rival name. Thats about it. This should be more then enough for 'on-the-fly' editing. Anything you can change freely in game will probably be omitted (pokemon markings, box wallpaper, box names, signature, etc) -------------------------------------------- F.A.Q: Q: Why make a save editor for use ON the DS? A: Why not? Well okay, the real answer is that I personally wanted one, and so if I wanted one maybe other people want one too, so why not share? Q: Will you be able to edit saves on the original cartridges? A: No, unfortunately not. The main reason being that there are circumstances that prevents loading from eeprom (in most cases) in later versions of the toolkit I am using. Q: Can you make a save editor for Game XYZ? A: Probably not, unless I wanted to, I get no other reward out of making an editor then for my own use. Plus all the research that is required, Pokemon has a lot of research already done and publicly available. Most games do not. Q: So your not very 'skilled' then if you cannot do the research? A: I like to think that I am skilled and I DO do research, it just happens that I have to do substantially less since there is already research done. I like to think that I am not so much unskilled as I am lazy. Q: So what languages do you know? (okay so not a FAQ) A: Well normal languages I know English and some Japanese. Computer languages I happen to be able to read, understand, and write ASM(RAW)(x86, ARM, Thumb), C++, C, Java, BASIC(omg), Brainfuck, PHP, Perl, Lua, Python, Pascal, Fortran, and more... I mainly only work with C++,C, Java, and ASM however. But Brainfuck has a special place in my heart. [Edit by evandixon] Aaarrrrggg!!! So many dead links in the forums I moderate! So that's why I attached the *.nds file included in the package that used to be downloadable. No, I don't have the full package anymore, so if you need help, then you'll have to ask, instead of reading the readme. I don't have the HomebrewMenu.nds, so if you need it, you'll have to find that elsewhere. PPSEDS..nds

Revision r31 is done. Its gotten mostly a ton of bug fixes and a little bit in the way of code restructuring.

It only works on RAW HGSS sav, if your using NO$GBA it won't work on those (need to convert the save).

I had made this before Pokesav HGSS had the ability to manipulate boxes.

PokeLib v0.3 is out in the wild. I have tested most the functions, untested still is the save block checksum correction, it should work though. Enjoy and as always feel free to give me feedback (not sure if anyone has even tried to use this yet, but that may change with this release!)

I have found a number of bugs which I am fixing. Please stand by for v0.3 which will have basic block editing (at least for pokemon anyway).

That is not really a PokeLib question. But the DS is limited to the 4mb of ram the DS has, minus the size of the two binaries which must stay in memory. The arm7 binary normally gets put into the arm7 deticated ram. If you are clever you can jam some of the image data into video ram then free it up from your normal ram, or read it directly from fat into the video ram. Just be sure you know how to do dynamic memory management. You must avoid all statically rowed things as best as you can unless they are always needed. (which means using malloc, free, and C++'s new and delete)

Updated to 0.2. Please feel free to try it out, any feedback would be nice. This version includes the source code as well (in case you are unsure how to use libraries, etc).

Note, as maker of that ARDS code, I say, please only use "020DD9E4 E1A00000"!! The other part may cause bugs.

I said MIGHT! Not sure I f I am yet interested enough again, but if I get this library to a good point all I would have to worry about is the UI.

evandixon: After some reading, I would have to write some VB code to be able to do that. If you are using VB.Net Then the first thing you will have to do is to make a .Net wrapper for it. This can be done using the aximp tool from the Visual Studio .Net command line. This tool makes a wrapper-dll which you can import into your project and use as a normal .dll. The wrapper file is called the same as the original dll, but with 'Ax' as prefix. something like.... Declare Sub Toolkit.shuffle Lib "AXlibpoke.dll" (ByVal Raw As Long) As Long Declare Sub Toolkit.unshuffle Lib "AXlibpoke.dll" (ByVal Raw As Long) As Long Where the longs are pointers to an array of bytes in this case. This is just my best guess on how to write those however. Do not ask for help, I do NOT know... right now. codemonkey85: YES! It should work just fine in a Nintendo DS Homebrew application. In fact I might reboot PokesavDS after I finish this Library to a decent degree.

Visual Basic. No probably not, would require a wrapper, and it probably doesn't like the way I pack structures. However I did make a dll out of it which can probably be imported into VB as a shared library, but I am unsure how to go about doing that.

Its a Library for use in editing pokemon saves, and maybe later ROM editing + ARDS code generation. I have rewritten the library from the ground up and is released under the zlib license. SVN: http://svn.projectpokemon.org/pokelib/

Thank you, that is at least something to know I got for my many sleepless hours.

OKAY it is fixed now, this time for real! I have done extensive tests. It has a bat with it now to help you open a command prompt, and it has some details on commands in that bat. ENJOY!

This nifty tool you can use to inject PKM files into your boxes in your HGSS save files. It is command line only (DEAL WITH IT! #_X). Based on research done by people who put stuff on the wiki, my own investigation, Grovyle91, Codemonkey, and JiggyNinja. -b# Box number -s# Slot in box -p$ String of pkm file Usage Example: HGSSPKMInject -b2 -s1 -p"Pokemon.pkm" "YourSave.sav" Get it here! http://www.csdgn.org/files/HGSSPkmInject.7z http://www.csdgn.org/files/HGSSPkmInject.zip

It dumps all the pkm files from HGSS. Enjoy! (unecrypted and unshuffled) http://www.csdgn.org/files/HGSSPkmDump.7z http://www.csdgn.org/files/HGSSPkmDump.zip EDIT: Changed so it only extracts latest pokemon.

converts the HEX output that NO$GBA debugger spits out and converts it to a raw dump for your hex editing enjoyment. http://www.csdgn.org/files/Hex2Raw.7z PS: Open the program itself in a hex editor. ;3

New experimental code, untested, if it works, yay if not booo... BTW those with graphical glitches remove half of the original code (the original code is reduced to 1 line now, se the first post).

Yes, found last night there are still a few freezes, I am not sure where those are, but I am working on it.

Use these codes to fix most if not all of those annoying freezes in HG/SS NO$GBA Fix 020DD9E4 E1A00000 Use ARDS RAW mode (normal mode might work though!) Use some other patch for the rest.... I am just to tired. PLEASE!!!!! If people still get freezes be sure to tell me where/when it happens!

oops, well, you know what I mean... chansey or clafairy maybe then
