Shouldn't be too hard if Mystery Events aren't region/language locked (which they probably are). As an aside note, it appears the e-Card was ONLY given away in North America (Toys R Us and Nintendo Power for the US, while I assume Canada got it JUST through Nintendo Power but I don't know since I'm in the US), which is a rare case of Japan not getting the better deal.

Thanks to the Eon Ticket e-Card you mentioned I also recovered the Event for Ruby & Sapphire. So far I was only able to dump the scripts of the Japanese and the US versions. The bad thing about the Ruby and Sapphire Mystery Events is actually that the scripts of them is nowhere to be found inside the roms. I think we're unlikely to recover this event for all languages, except if we're somehow able to get save files of these.

I knew all that. I have an e-Reader and three Eon Ticket cards (two legit and one I printed on photo paper). I also figured the max amount you can send by mixing records was 255 because of MORFEO's cheats.

Ahh... I see... interesting to know. Thanks for this information... Yeah, maybe that's why it's called "Trainer Card"-Event... hehe... Because of "e-Cards" or so... A bit sad that that we can't solve the password part. At least I don't know an efficient way to do this. EDIT: I did some Rom Research and I think I finally understand now what you meant before... I realized that the word the 2F Pokémon Center guy tells you to use in the questionnaire is there. In the Japanese default Script he says: 「すごい　トレーナ くれ　くれ」 While in the English Versions it's: “GIVE ME AWESOME TRAINER” But there's no effect when you use this in the PokéMart survey. Possibly the Script is incomplete, there seems stuff missing for it. Can't even see where the Trainer Data should coming from. Even if a Wireless Adapter is attached, nothing happens. edit: Damn, you already explained this, I should have read your posts more closely.

All the e-reader functionality can be implemented as a custom mystery gift events (EON Ticket, Regi Dolls, Trainers and Berries). It's not the official way but it can be done. That is why is under the "Custom Events" category... The only e-reader event that was initially planned to be worked with the Mystery Gift seems to be the Trainer Battles... This was supposed to use the password system that we don't know how it works. Edit: I think Takasan tool does the exact same thing as Morfeo AR Code does and the same one as the one I have recreated. It's the mystery gift battle card script with the e-reader code injected at the same time...

This stuff is really confusing, are the e-Cards even part of this Mystery Gift Event? From my understanding the e-Reader function and Mystery Gifts are 2 completely different things. And from what I know the Event includes only the Trainer Room in Sootopolis City or Sevii Island 7. We should better not mix things up... I can help you later with studying the password system. There was a Tool Takasan made for the Trainer Room in Sootopolis City. (Emerald only) But I haven't checked it out yet, so I dunno if it has to with this... I mean it's no problem if we work on other things, too. And I'm very interested in enabling other Events... Without new save files and informations there is not much to do for me in the moment anyway... As a matter of fact I'm currently working on enabling the Eon Ticket Mystery Event in Emerald. And here is the first result: EDIT: This Eon Ticket should be sendable via record mixing. But I haven't tested this out yet...

@ Invader TAK : Yes this is for the e-reader data. Since we have no idea how the password system works, all i can do is a wonder card that injects the e-reader data as well.

Trainer Wonder Cards will just handle the e-Reader data and not the password part, right?

Tried using the earlier version and now my flash card and desmume isn't reading the save I want to add 4 Pokemon to the save, what am I doing wrong? I was using 3.2 so I could add it but even that dun work Using 3.3 is buggy as all heck and your new one doesn't seem to work as easily I don't understand... Edit: Ok, I can put my 3.2 save in your newer one but again it seems to have issues like mentioned above Included is a download link (or 'attachment') to this modified save. I'm a real impatient person and since I'm basically responding while you're asleep and vice versa, and I don't know saves, I figured help could be wanted. I'm sorry if this an inconvenience, it is for me too I say my flash card because normally I play on there and it normally reads saves flawlessly. However it's saying it's corrupted. I don't know what's wrong in the case. 06689 - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Blue Rescue Team (E)(M5).sav

I'm really looking forward to this and I'm ok with most of the Pokémon from gens 4-6 not being available, as Orre imports most of its Pokémon anyway. BTW, can you add more Shadow Pokémon, plus Pokémon available through e-Cards only?

Thank you BlackShark! That helped me a lot. On my save was at Section 2 instead of 0. I put there the Morfeo's trainer and it worked like a charm Here is a screenshot: So if you have the trainer wonder card, the guy in green says to you this: Thank you for using the MYSTERY GIFT System. By holding this WONDER CARD, you may take part in a survey at a POKéMON MART. Use these surveys to invite TRAINERS to the SEVII ISLANDS. …Let me give you a secret password for a survey: “GIVE ME AWESOME TRAINER” Write that in on a survey and send it to the WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. If you have the Wonder Card AND the e-card code you get the event unlocked... The man in green says this: Thank you for using the MYSTERY GIFT System. A TRAINER has arrived in the SEVII ISLANDS looking for you. We hope you will enjoy battling the visiting TRAINER. You may invite other TRAINERS by entering other passwords. Try looking for other passwords that may work. So i guess this was planned to work like this: 1. You receive the trainer wonder card from an event 2. You find somewhere those codes (wonder news maybe???) 3. You send the codes to wonder spot using the adapter 4. The new batch of code was downloaded to enable the event. Now i have to try with only the e-reader code to see what happens... Edit: This works and if you have only the e-reader code. If you go straight to Sootopolis the trainer is there... Also just to be correct, the above text is from FireRed. My test was in Emerald so the text says about trainer arrived at Sootopolis

Team Fail did some work on e-Reader Trainer Events http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?46216-GEN-3-e-Reader-Event-Injection He tried getting the Japanese e-Reader to work on other language version games. Anyways all the scripts for the event are still inside the ROM. They even translated the dialogs with the old man in that house, except those that would be seen during the tranfer of the data. If you get the trainer data via e-card it will be stored at a different location than the Mystery Gift data: Section 0 RS: 0x498, E: 0xBEC, FRLG: 0x4A0 But it might also work if the game finds the data at the location for Mystery Gifts. Though I'm not sure about that.

I did some research on Morfeo Algorithm. It's a CRC16 checksum algorithm with a lookup table. It's seems to be a common checksum computation algorithm. The bad thing is that there are a lot of variations of the algorithm... Including custom lookup tables (using different polynomial to generate them), in some cases different computation functions (but similar ones) and even different initial crc value (seed)... E-Reader uses a similar algorithm (CRC32) for checksum computation. Here you can find very interesting information regarding E-Reader and an implementation of the CRC32 algorithm (under technical details) https://www.caitsith2.com/ereader/index.htm I think we should try to use the same algorithm and in our case... You never know... EDIT (1/9/2015): No News on checksum but here is some text i found regarding the Delivery Man dialog: Egg: Thank you for using the MYSTERY GIFT System. From the POKéMON CENTER we have a gift - a POKéMON EGG! Please raise it with love and kindness. Oh, your party appears to be full. Please come see me after storing a POKéMON on a PC.

Why not give it a try and see what it is about? Thank you for using the MYSTERY GIFT System. Oh, I’m sorry, {RED}. Your BAG’s KEY ITEMS POCKET is full. Please store something on your PC, then come back for this. Altering Cave: Thank you for using the MYSTERY GIFT System. Recently, there have been rumors of rare POKéMON appearances.

Source: http://iimarck.us/dumps/dfirered.txt

33 FF FF FF... Wait a minute... these values look pretty familiar! Aren't these exact the same values like in Morfeo's example? O_O I have a guess... Maybe we should try to compute the checksum for the script first, the checksum could be the seed for the Wonder Card checksum. Just an idea... I can't try it in the moment so it would nice if someone else could do this. About the Japanese Wonder Cards, they need less space because Hiragana & Katana are based on syllables and therefore need less characters. Maybe they just reserved more space for the Wonder Cards in the west because they needed more space for the text... These are good informations lostaddict, thank you so much. Some great NEWS I also have something to share, something very interesting regarding the Wonder Card Egg Events. One of the Egg Events of the Tools from the Japanese Site which I mentioned before was a an obvious hack. Inside the Egg was an Pichu with Surf, the PID method was A-B-D-E. The cool thing is, it's not always the same Egg you get, it's generated right when you pick it up. Everytime I picked up the Egg from the 2F Guy in the Pokémon Center the PID and IVs was different. So it's possible to RNG here. On the Site there is another Tool for the PokéPark Egg Event which seems pretty legit. Even Taka said he didn't went to this Event and just reconstructed it, he did a great job, the Wonder Card matches exactly the one from the official Page. He has found the script before during is his research as you can see in my post above. You can find this Tool here and here are the PAR Codes for them. In this Tool you can simply chose which of the Eggs you want, which is pretty cool. But one thing that got me really interested about is the PID method. I was always sure that the method for the PokéPark Eggs is "Common GBA (Restricted"). But then I found this Thread and this Thread in the forum. In fact, every Egg I picked up had the PID method A-B-D-E. Which confirms that all the Eggs from the Mystery Gift Events made use of this Method. Since this whole script is an exact replica of the Original Egg Events and I guess it's found somewhere inside the Rom. But this doesn't means that all GBA Common Eggs are hacks. I also have a theory why some of the PokéPark Eggs are B-A-C-D (Restricted). And this is maybe why this is a bit confusing... According to Bulbapedia they were also distributed to Ruby & Sapphire who didn't had the Mystery Gift System. So the PID & IV were generated by the Distribution System and in their case just like other Events GBA Common (Restricted). But for FireRed, LeafGreen and Emerald when they were downloaded via through the Mystery Gift System, they were generated ingame and GBA Uncommon. This is huge because it means we could basically reconstruct the PCJP2004 Event and just if we manage to find the script in english, even the PCNY/Wish Event as an addition to the Ticket Events. But I can't promise it at this point now, For this it would be good to know if they had Wonder Cards as well. From my understanding of the functionality of the Myster Gift Events they should. But there is still a lack of informations and if I recreate these Events I would like to make them as legit as possible. If someone has informations about this, please post your informations to this Thread. Thank you.

I'm sorry... was a bit lazy today... Thank you so much for all the informations. Especially the enigma berry e-card checksum looks very interesting to me. But it needs some dmp files. I'm curious about the content of these files. It's definitely worth to be checked out. Even tho' I can't tell if this really is what we need just by the look of it. It's a complex routine too, but different than what we have from Morfeo. Still... very interesting. Currently I try to get some informations about the Rom. Hopefully to find more informations about all the checksum validations the game makes use of... but I couldn't get much informations yet. There's a hack which caught my attention. The name is CrystalDust. It even has hacked Wonder Cards as you can see here: [video=youtube;rbuO7dMWqEg] Maybe the creator knows something about the checksum or he just have set the checksum validation off. It's a hack after all. But I wanted to post this for those who like hacks. Funny stuff...

About the e-card data. It is different to the wondercards as far as I know. The Eon Ticket e-card doesn't have a wondercard and no checksum. Also it is saved to another location which is in section 3. I successfully changed that text without validation needed. The e-Reader trainer data in section 0 is validated by a checksum which is very similar to the one that's used for the save. It is a 32 bit sum of the data summed up as half-words (2 bytes). The e-Reader berries are in section 4, they should be validated as you can see in this thread http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?31210-Index-numbers-of-the-eReader-berries&p=171472&viewfull=1#post171472 I haven't looked into it yet. So I don't know if it could help with wondercard checksums.

Same here. I always get wrong results. To be honest, I don't trust Morfeo... After reading his note in the txt file I thought there is no way he would hand out everything. When you ask me, he didn't gave us the full algorithm. If we're lucky there is only 1 step missing or an built-in error. I think the hint on the save file says it all: He talks about earning the last piece. I think this is a challenge... But where is the key to solve this puzzle? I also hoped it's maybe just an false initial seed. That's what I wanted to try next, but since BlackShark already tried it... The bin file seems ok, too. I will check more about this later because there are still open questions. Now I already reaching my limit. What could we try next? Change the algorithm? I think the step with the binaries (changing 0s to 1s and 1s to 0s) is a bit awkward. Looks suspicious IMO even tho' I have seen this before. Just my feeling. What could we change else? We should try everything possible we could do with this. If this doesn't help I think there's more research to do. I want to avoid making it too complicated, if nothing is left it's all about trial and error. As mentioned before, I got this feeling that the key is in the Rom itself. We have to consider Rom Research as an option. I already try to get informations about the checksum validations inside the Rom. It's just a bit difficult to get exact informations about them, maybe it's better to ask someone who knows about this well. If we could find something that sounds similar to Morfeo's Algorithm this would be great. And I have another idea. What about the e-Cards? The e-Card Events work in a very similar way to the Mystery Gift Events. They are also temporarely saved, I guess even in the same locations as our Mystery Gift Events. There was another Thread on the Board about this Topic which btw. inspired me to open this one here. EDIT: Some more informations regarding the Japanese Wonder Cards from the Tools. While looking a few years back on Taka's Page. In found some interesting stuff he mentioned... http://web.archive.org/web/20040929044716/http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~taka.999/index.html Translation powered by Google Translate: He's said that he starts the modification of the Wonder Card. He found several Texts in the Rom which seem to be connected to the Mystery Gift feature. One is for an Egg Present, another one for the Trainer Room in Sootopolis City, one for the Altering Cave and the last one for the Old Sea Map. That's how he came to the idea about making custom Wonder Cards. As you can see this was in September 2004. It was a bit later after he wrote the diary where he dumped the Aurora Ticket and the Mystic Ticket and created the first tool. It also explains why one of the Old Sea Map Wonder Cards is blue ,because the Old Sea Map wasn't distributed yet and it also explains the other custom WCs from the Tools and PAR Codes.

This is alarming news... Did you guys see this latest news yet? * It's confirm that it works great with Ninjhax 2.0 for loading homebrew and region free games on firmware 9.9.0-26.(07/20/2015) * It's confirm that sky3DS works great with Ninjhax 2.0 on V9.9.0-26!(07/20/2015) * It's confirmed! SKY3DS can support newest 3DS V9.9.0-26U/E/J/K. (07/14/2015) Flash card cost too much for my budget... But once I get the funds... I will try this out

So I've slightly derailed from working on the e-Cards because I've found some very interesting stuff in regards to FireRed and LeafGreen support for the e-Reader. Here's the backstory: In Japan, the e-Reader proved to be extremely popular and was run until the end of the GBA's life. Elsewhere, however, it flopped. FireRed and LeafGreen had support for the e-Reader in Japan alongside the Wireless Adapter, but during the localisation process, this was removed and only the Wireless Adapter functionality was retained. I was digging in knizz's FireRed IDA Pro database and found some interesting functions around where the Mystery Gift stuff was, and I did some hex editing, and this happened as a result: This is the menu screen, an almost vanilla copy of FireRed, of the Mystery Events menus. It's completely intact, but there's a few issues: 1. The text has been nulled out. 2. The embedded e-Reader VPK is untranslated (But is still there!) 3. It connects to a Japanese e-Reader, not a USA e-Reader 4. With the vanilla code, FireRed will only let you access it if you have the Wireless Adapter attached. I've been working on this, and with a small amount of assistance, we've gotten past most of this. So far, this is what has been done: 1. Most of the most important text has been translated 2.The Wireless Adapter check has been removed. If the adapter is detected, the game will go to the Mystery Gift menu for use with the adapter. Otherwise, it defaults to Mystery Events. So, all that's really left is: 1. Fix the communication so it works with a USA e-Reader 2. Translate the embedded application Edit: There was a little bit of information that I had in mind to add last night but didn't for whatever reason. Anyway, while doing my debugging in No$GBA, I've identified a subroutine as part of a large jump list at 08143A5C. It is this routine, I believe, that is responsible for completing handshake code to confirm that it is connected to an e-Reader, and if so, to set up and establish a communication with it so that the e-Reader can download the embedded application to it. Right now, I'm planning to look into this code, but I haven't had much in the way of success yet. Once I can finish this and patch this particular routine so that it connects with a USA e-Reader as opposed to a Japanese unit, I can probably release an early version of this patch. Edit: I was talking with Prof9, and he directed me to an old post of his, and I was able to re-activate support for Emerald. It's broken in that none of the text is translated, but it is all present: "Change the byte at 0x02F97E to 0x02", as he said, in an English copy of Emerald, and you'll have virtually full support, for a Japanese e-Reader. Edit 2: So Prof9 looked in No$GBA's debugger, and found the bytes sent that each game needs to connect with each other (And in the process showing my lack of knowledge of No$'s debugger). FireRed now communicates with a USA e-Reader properly. I'm going to play around with it this evening and see what FireRed is capable of working with, including importing various events and seeing what they do. Edit 3: So I've been working with trying to scan in events into FireRed, however, I've hit a brick wall, so to speak. While it does communicate with the e-Reader, it cannot scan in cards for some reason, although I'm quite sure it's simply a region error. Here's what happens: In my USA-enabled version, scanning in cards results in an error: I'm sure that it's just failing a region check, since these are supposed to be used on Japanese e-Readers as opposed to English e-Readers. If I revert to an older version that is only Japan-enabled, I can scan cards in, up to 8 max, however, when it transmits the data, it fails and boots me to the error text (On the FireRed side), and the e-Reader app tells me something of an error occurring I presume. Both of these, I'm sure, are region-related errors, and require editing the actual event cards themselves to correct this error. Edit 4: If anyone wants to try this and try fixing the region errors and try importing to their copies of FireRed, I have here a FireRed 1.0 patch that you can try out. Do note that you cannot properly scan in the files yet, although you can try editing them with Poké-Reader and whatnot. THIS PATCH IS FOR ADVANCED USERS, IT DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY AS OF YET. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34957059/GBA%20Events/FireRed%20eReader%20Patch%20Beta%201.ips This should also work if you want to apply this to an existing hack, although it uses a few bytes for the translated text at 0x800000. You can apply this to a clean ROM though and edit it for your needs, but it is far from properly functional as of yet. To set up your e-Reader ROM with FireRed, use these instructions: 1. Use No$GBA for this. Load your edited FireRed (Or Emerald ROM if using the one-byte adjustment) into the FIRST MACHINE (This option is at the bottom of the ROM Select window) 2. If using Emerald, at this point, use a Japanese Card-e+ ROM, or if using FireRed with the patch, use a USA e-Reader ROM. Start this ROM in the SECOND MACHINE. 3. Download and extract the files from this event pack. It contains almost all trainer events for Ruby, Sapphire, FRLG, and Emerald. You will need 7zip for this. 4. Before starting a card scan, we need to generate calibration data for the e-Reader to scan the "cards". Using the 2nd Machine controls (You'll have to edit your controls settings and set up the 2nd machine, making sure they DO NOT conflict with the first machine running FireRed), select "Scan Card" from the e-Reader main menu (It will be the 1st option if using a Japanese e-Reader ROM). No$GBA will then pop up a message, and will reset the e-Reader ROM. 5. Go to "Mystery Gift" on FireRed and follow the instructions displayed. In the case of Emerald, from the main menu, select the second option, then the second option again. The background should show two Gameboy Advance units linking with a large blue box overlaying it. If it shows a GameCube, you're on the wrong menu option. In Emerald, select "Mystery Gift, and press A three times. The text will be garbled, as it's untranslated Japanese and the game does not show Japanese characters correctly, but it functions correctly nonetheless. 6. Once it shows the message to scan a card into the e-Reader, the other Gameboy will have a screen in which there is a Pikachu, and options for A and B. A tells the device to open up for card scanning, and B will ask you if you want to exit the application. To select a card, simply go to "File", then to "Load e-Reader Dotcode", then select one of the event RAW files. This is about as far as you can get though, nothing is transferred to the games as it errors out on either end, depending on the game you use right now. Only use this patch if you're willing to dig into this and try getting this working. Edit 5: So today has mostly been about the localisation aspect of this project, including fixing regional issues with the e-Cards, including translating any text. The FRLG Battle cards, when scanned without the FRLG application running (AKA using "Scan Card" from the main menu) in the Japanese version shows you this: I used a mix of machine translation, as well as my own knowledge of the language, and came up with this unofficial localisation (Edit: Got some input on the translation and adjusted it as necessary): It's coming along rather decently, and I'm slowly working to fix these regional issues. I'm not sure what's causing the issue though.

Alright, thanks for the help! I already intended to get the Japanese E-Reader and cards. I have a modded Wii as well as 2 region free disks and English and Japanese copies of all the gen 3 games in English and Japanese. I hope to someday use them on my original Colosseum save.

I just used a modded Wii, Pal GBA, Japanese e Reader and the Colosseum battle e cards. I tried printing the cards multiple time but they wouldn't read in the scanner for some reason.

Thank you so much! What hardware do you have? It's been a long time since I read this. Is it just a Japanese E-Reader and the Japanese cards or did you print them out?

So I'm not sure if anyone is following this anymore, but since i have all the hardware and cards I've manage to scan the battle e cards into English version of Colosseum i have taken some shot of what happens when scanned. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vzp4z38iajdscff/20150706_202201.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/2tbjymnluqepbpk/20150706_195741.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwejqo0pyt9syx9/20150705_191858%20%281%29.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ybp7i0qps5pspx/20150705_191829%20%281%29.jpg?dl=0
