    (Pokemon Sun/Moon covers 1)

    Nintendo has released a patch for Pokémon Sun and Moon introducing the following game balance fixes 2:

    Quote
    • Fixes glitch that caused battles to not continue when Z-Memento and Z-Parting Shot were used on Battle spot
    • Fixed a glitch that determined the wrong winner if the Rocky Helmet caused both players to lose their final Pokémon
    • Fixed a glitch where Pokémon wouldn't learn moves after they evolved such as with Kadabra and Confusion
    • Alterations to some Battle Tree Pokémon - Change of Kommo-o's move from Shell Smash to Draco Meteor
    • Various Bug Fixes

    Battle videos recorded before applying the update are incompatible with this patch and will be unplayable after installing it.

    With regards to game hacking, this may break ROM hacks, depending on whether or not the ROM hack modified the game's executable.  If you are playing such a ROM hack, you will either need to refrain from updating or wait for the author to update the hack.  Save editors like PKHeX are unaffected.

    @SciresM's SMPatcher has been updated to version 1.1 to provide compatibility with the update, and can be downloaded here 3.  If you are new to SMPatcher, it will modify the game executable to make QR scanning and PKHeX importing much similar.  In order to use it, you will need to have CFW, which can currently be installed using the latest firmware.  The recommended installation guide can be found here.  Here is a list of patches that SMPatcher can apply to Sun or Moon:

    Quote
    • Allows for the resigning of any QR type, via hooked QR decryption.
    • Allows for the scanning of Injection QRs, generatable via PKHeX
    • Grants unlimited QR scans/day
    • Enables one to scan the same QR multiple times.
    • Optionally, disable outlines from being drawn.

    I'm curious now, how do the injection QRs work exactly?

    as in how the code mechanics works?

    All I know is scanning from PKHeX with the patcher writes the code into box (whichever slot chosen)

    Ah nah, I didn't really need help on getting it working, I was just curious on how SciresM got that to work. It sounds really cool and pretty convenient. (Would external code.bin patching work on O3DS? Considering extended memory mode and all that.)

    Would it theoretically be possible to hack the OR/AS secret base QR scanner to allow injecting in the same way?

    It's handled by Luma, so probably.  IIRC, NTR is the only thing that has trouble, since it's not a proper CFW and has to be launched with a cia.

    Mainly asking because the region emulation from Luma didn't seem to work when I tried it with Sun/Moon, so I wasn't sure. Or maybe I was doing it wrong somehow x: it worked fine with OR/AS though.

    Luma's region emulation only changes language setting, the 3DS is reported as the actual region and subregion. That's why I have a regionchanged japanese emunand.

    Luma allows to receive other region events, but if you get the pokémon, it'll have wrong region data (but correct language).

    I was able to receive European Wi-Fi events on OR with the language emulation, however scanning region-specific QR codes in S/M didn't work, acted as if nothing had changed. Does S/M actually look at the country and not the language, when it comes to scanning QR codes? That would explain it.

    Wait, you're saying luma never did region emulation? (I mean, you could change the region in the settings)

    In that case, one may use NTR region emulation.

    you may need to emulate the 3DS region too.
    (or maybe it checks against the save?)

    Luma spoofs region + language, but not country/sub-region.

    I don't know about save file, that's a possibility. Might be worth checking if that affects it, although I can't say I'm really motivated to do that right now.

    I get an error ... says that the ctrtool.exe file version is not compatible with the OS. (using Win7 32bits). halp u.u

    I need a way to obtain the code.bin

    Hi Question, Does the latest Pkhex still have the illegal mode? if yes how do we activate it again?

    rename it PKHaX.exe?

    I literally copied ctrtool.exe file version is not compatible with the OS and this is the first hit I got from Google:

    thanks for the reply

    but I searched and found a different way to make it work ... using the IPS...

    just tried it and worked, was about to edit my post but you did reply before xD

    Is this only for CFW versions of the game or will it work with cartridge games as well?

    You need CFW, but it will work with either eShop versions and cartridges.

    Okay I have CFW but figured this was for updating cfw versions of the game. Thanks!

    • Since they released over a decade ago, the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games for the Nintendo DS have not had much in the way of ROM editors. Over the past few years, hackers have slowly learned more and more about the inner workings of the games, culminating in the most advanced PMD editor to date: Sky Temple. 

      SkyTemple is a user-friendly level editor for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky that gives the user full control over graphics, scripts, Pokémon data, and more, enabling a great amount of creative freedom to prospective ROM hackers to create not just edits of the game, but entirely new levels and plots.

      See the trailer for the version 1.0.0 release for quick samples of what can be accomplished:
