Because nobody ever really understood how trainer music was determined until now, and it seems like a useful feature to have. Alright so for this you're gonna want to extract your rom and decompress a couple of the files. I normally use ndstool and blz.exe to do this: ndstool -x originalromname.nds -9 arm9.bin -7 arm7.bin -y9 y9.bin -y7 y7.bin -d data -y overlay -t banner.bin -h header.bin copy arm9.bin arm9decomp.bin blz -d arm9decomp.bin copy overlay\overlay_0036.bin overlay_0036decomp.bin blz -d overlay_0036decomp.bin Now we need to make a few changes to our decompressed overlay 36. They change slightly based on version. Black 2: White 2: Now, this change will affect how big the file is when compressed, so we need to edit a table in y9.bin to take that into account open it up, go to offset 0x49C, and change it from 58 E9 03 -> 5C E9 03 for Black 2 or 30 E9 03 -> 34 E9 03 for White 2. Finally, we insert the music table itself. Originally the game contains a table for each of the 236 trainer classes in the form AA GG EE EE, where AA is unknown, GG is gender, and EE EE is the encounter (not the battle) music. The gender field isn't really used for much of anything, so we're just gonna overwrite it with a field for battle music. Note that we only have one byte to work with, so we're restricted to music in the range 0400 to 04FF, but that includes pretty much everything anyway. Now, open your decompressed arm9, and go to 0x8E394 for Black 2 or 0x8E3C0 for White 2. Here, you want to replace with This will assign each trainer class the same music they had in the vanilla game. Obviously this is not very useful, so go ahead and edit that second column to assign whatever music you like to each trainer class. You can use BWTE or something to remind yourself what order the 236 classes come in. Once you've done that, it's time to rebuild the rom. Which brings us to the bad news. Even though we didn't change the size of the decompressed arm9, our changes still affect what size it is after compression, which for some reason causes major issues when rebuilding the rom. One way to solve this is to just insert the decompressed arm9, instead of compressing it first. This basically solves the issue, but at a cost: the game will now supposedly only be compatible with emulators, not an actual DS. copy overlay_0036decomp.bin overlay\overlay_0036.bin blz -en overlay\overlay_0036.bin ndstool -c newromname.nds -9 arm9decomp.bin -7 arm7.bin -y9 y9.bin -y7 y7.bin -d data -y overlay -t banner.bin -h header.bin Obviously this is not ideal, so if anyone knows how to insert a compressed arm9.bin with a different size from the original WITHOUT making the game impossible to boot, please let me know. But either way, hope someone finds all this useful. -
At the behest of @greenDarkness I have created a patch for Pokemon : Gale of Darkness which splits the moves between physical and special as in gen 4. Everything else has been left unchanged as much as possible. Shadow moves will keep the same category as in the original and regular moves are based on their categories in the later games. Apply the patch to a clean ISO of Pokemon : Gale of Darkness. If tsukuyomi doesn't work, try NUPS. Enjoy! _phys_spec_split.ups -
After much turmoil over rom patches that only work on Windows, I have created a rom patcher that works in OS X. 6jRKw8P86dc http://rapidshare.com/files/284142416/DS_Rom_Patcher.zip http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PEN7XOAE View larger video here I made this to work with Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, and I have tested it with both KazoWAR's and Raqib12's patches. In theory, this patcher can patch any DS rom that uses xdelta patches. Note: I could not find a freezing patch file for HeartGold/SoulSilver. There are 2 out there, but they are .exe files, not patch files. In order to have a HG/SS with the freezing fix, you must either start with a pre-patched rom(Search on Google) or use a patch that has the freezing fix in it. I ask that the makers of the translation patches add freeze-protection in their patches, or that the makers of the freezing patches make their patches availiable as a patch file.

patch Pokémon Black and White: No$GBA Patch
Alpha posted a topic in ROM - NDS Guides and Other Resources
No$GBA may be outdated, but it still has some good qualities to it. To me, and others, debugging is super helpful. To some, they prefer it to play and get screenshots from. However, Black and White has been a bit harder to get working with it. So, I made this patch. The patch allows the player to get EXP from battles, start the game, and even save! Best part is, no AR code is required to play your game. The current patch supports ENGLISH WHITE VERSION ONLY. If there is interest in Black version, I will get a copy of that out as well. To use, you will need a copy of the original xdelta and knowledge of the basic command line. If your ROM is 256 MB, it needs to be trimmed: First download the file below and the xdelta from the previous link. For ease, put xdelta, the patch, and your trimmed ROM into the same directory. Navigate into that directory via command line. Run this command (assuming your game is called "white.nds"): xdelta patch white_nocash.patch white.nds white_patched.nds If you did everything right, white_patched.nds is your new patched ROM.

HGSS - Kris as Female Protagonist Rom info: Hack of: Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver (USA) Language: English Current Version: 2.0 Last Updated: 18th July, 2012 Summary This is a simple hack of HGSS, where Lyra is replaced by Kris, the female protagonist introduced in Pokémon Crystal. There are a few minor glitches, but these are mostly negligible. All that is changed in this patch is the graphics, as well as any mention of 'Lyra' with 'Kris'. Screenshots: Videos: [YOUTUBE]vLfPZUmL6h8[/YOUTUBE] Credits: Tools used: Kimba616 - DeviantArt – for making all the Kris sprites. Link S-Laughtur - DeviantArt – for making the full-art Kris sprite in the intro. Link Someone – a kind anon on 4chan sent me his work on a rom hack like this one, entitled 'Pokemon SpiritCrystal', from which I extracted Kris' backsprites from. Bugs: Changelog: Downloads and Documentation: Link to patch and xdelta (used to patch the original rom)

Hello, I just wanted to hack a Pokemon White (USA) Rom and did it. I opened it in DesMume and it was like a dream. I fought with Charmander against Snivy. After I destroyed Snivy, I didn't gain Exp. points. Is there any patch that I can download? Please help. Greetings
