Sounds like you guys don't really need me on this. With access to what you already have, I may be able to poke around the ROM and see what stores what, but there's not much I could do beyond that. You should consider using some sort of source control for the ROM editor. I recommend CodePlex, as it supports both Git and TFS. If you use Visual Studio, TFS is very convenient. We could also use the documentation features to document what stores what in the ROM, as well as file structures. Github may also be viable, if you'd prefer that. Using source control, we could all collaborate on each project, or at least provide testing without the need for releases. DeSmuMe already has code to allow directly loading the Arm9 and Arm7, but I'd imagine that it's those binaries that are expecting the files to be in the ROM itself. Maybe if we had the ROM stored in RAM? A hack-ish DeSmuMe may be able to do that, decreasing load and run time a little. [Edit] If you haven't seen it already, Explorers of Time/Darkness's debug menu may prove useful during development/testing. While I don't think it can run whatever script we want it to, it can at least show the background of every map, among other things.

I don't mind if you add that to my notes. We're all working toward a common goal: to be able to edit Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. That's partially why I've been tinkering with Sky Editor to make it a ROM editor too. That's how I managed to do all that research. It made one ROM per sound file for quick listening. (Which takes up about 16GB on my hard drive... should probably delete all that soon...) My current goal for Sky Editor is to make it be able to edit all known aspects of the ROM, despite me knowing how to edit almost none of it myself. Perhaps I can make it a suite of the future tools this research yields. I'm sure I saw Nerketur's script editor before, but it was just yesterday that I really saw it and admired its potential. I think the biggest thing it's missing (beside being able to the script items in the left textbox - that's probably coming soon), is a button to run the ROM immediately, to test the changes just made. That's why I just added the ability for Sky Editor to repack a loaded ROM and run it using the emulator associated with .nds files. The only thing that may be missing would maybe be an AR code to immediately load a dungeon/the associated script, but that's probably beyond everyone's immediate area of focus. You may or may not have seen this, but each folder in SCRIPT is the name of a dungeon, the same name that appears in MAP_BG and various other places. I speculate that the MAP_BG contains images of all the dungeons themselves, probably similar to the images found at The Spriter's Resource here and here. Perhaps your decompression tool will make it much simpler to view (and change) those. Unless you have any objections or anything, when you release your tool, I'll probably wire it into Sky Editor and see what I can have the two of them extract. Since I already have ndstool wired in to extract all the files, it shouldn't be too much trouble. Looking forward to your release, and the potential it brings!

Good work! We may soon be able to actually edit the ROM. I look forward to the release of your tool, so we can find out what stores what. In other news, I mapped out which song each file in SOUND/BGM contains.

The only recycled tracks in these lists have some kind of difference (be it medley, remix, etc). Judging purely from the files missing from Explorers of Time, it is possible these tracks are in SOUND/SE/ev_eXX.sed, but that's pure speculation. Also, in Explorers of Time, the last track is 134 (still skipping 109).

You will need to convert the save to a raw save if you want to use it on an emulator or Sky Editor. Try this: http://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/utilities/download-uniquegeeks-offline-save-file-type-converter-2-6-alpha-f26025.html

You wont be able to use any of the backup tools that run on a DS. I think it's because they're confused about the 128KB save. I recommend the NDS Backup Adapter Plus, but you can check the sticky threads for more information. http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?16601-NDS-How-to-Backup-Restore-your-retail-cartridge-save-file-for-DS-games Also, if you happen to have an Action Replay DSi with a Micro-SD slot, that will work too, but I don't think those are made anymore.

You must have checked the "Remember me" checkbox last time you logged in. The forum remembers that for a while.

Are you saying that using File -> Import Backup Memory isn't loading the edited save?

Your platinum save is an empty file. Maybe try dusting off the contacts of the cartridge, making sure it's fully inserted?

Don't use save states. They're unstable. Use save files, not save states. What emulator are you using?

Save states don't work with this. If you're using DeSmuMe, use File -> Import/Export Backup Memory to get the raw save file.

You could see if KazoWAR needs help. http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?31254-A-Save-(3rd-Generation-Save-Editor) Personally, breakthroughs in GBA save editing came right as I lost interest in the 3rd Gen games.

Something went wrong with that attachment. Maybe try imgur.com if you're having trouble.

Welcome to the forums, snow-flake!

Is your 3DS on firmware 4.X?

What kind of trouble are you having?

1. You need the .Net Framework 4.0 (as mentioned in the error message): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851 2. No guarantee the install will work, seeing how Windows XP went out of support months ago. Still worth a try.

The backup dongle didn't actually get any of the data from the games. Are you sure you have the latest firmware? http://gbatemp.net/threads/r4i-savedongle-updates-info.317315/

Can you upload the save that isn't working?

Sableye (Weh-heh-heh)

You would need to use save editing to insert the PGF into the game (for English games, Pokegen doesn't support AR code generation for that). So, either use an emulator (insert into emulator's save, get gift, extract Pokémon), or look at this website for some pre-made event Pokémon.

I'm sorry, but it's against Project Pokémon policy to help get hacked Pokémon through the Pokebank, seeing how it's against their ToS.
