Pokemon HGSS Sprites!

Jup. Extraction finished. They didn�t change the encryption so it didn�t take more than 3 seconds. You can find them in the navigation bar...

Japanese Pokemon HG/SS leaked

09.09.2009

Yeah, it is true. There are already several versions of Heart Gold and Soul Silver around.

Fancy Knowledge #6 - Inserting The Ruins Of Alph Puzzle

13.04.2009

And another article for you. This time you will learn how to use the good old Ruins Of Alph Riddle in your romhack. You can find it (as always) in the tutorial section.

Fancy Knowledge #5 - Editing the Catch-Areas In The Pokedex

11.04.2009

I received another request concerning the worldmap these days. This time i was informed that the catch-areas in FR/LG are not automatically updated if you change the worldmap(s) of the game.

As some kind of Easter present I wrote this article. Happy Easter. =)

Removing the truck in emerald

08.03.2009

I want to give you a short overview of the things I have been working on the last weeks:

1) I visited Aeonos and we were working on the Zelda Map Editor. Further details soon...
2) I got my topic for the proseminar I�ll have to do at university and I therefore put a lot of effort into that.
3) I provided some nice enhancements to Advance Map. They�ll be included in the new version...
4) And the last thing was that I removed the truck sequence in Emerald long time ago. Sadly I forgot to post it... ^_^

If you want to remove the truck overwrite the following data:

09.02.2009

Heyho. I wasn�t online for some weeks because I had to reinstall my system... But now I�m back to provide you with the great news: I was able to display the DP Map-Models... I don�t know if anyone else already succeeded in this task but here it comes:

Zelda Map - Screenshot

21.01.2009

Maybe you remember the tool which we created to display the maps of Zelda - The Minish Cap.

Aeonos continued developing on that progamm and we take in consideration to release the first "Map Editor Alpha" within the next 3 months. (If both of us can deal with the stress caused by the university)

Some statistics...

17.01.2009

Just for the case that you�re interested:
Since March 2006...

... 236.000 people have visited SFC

... 85.000 visitors have checked SFC regularly

... 500.000 pages of SFC have been visited

... 550 downloads of DaN have been completed

Thank you for your huge interest in my projects. I�ll try to keep up the work - I still have a lot of ideas. Stay tuned, DaN was only the first step towards a bright rom hacking future. =)

13.01.2009

I finally decided to release it to the public. Don�t complain about crashing ROMs and stuff messed up, just give a proper bug report at

http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=159108

You can find the download in the "DayAndNight"-Section.

A present to all who liked GSC

26.12.2008

A little bit of nostalgia...

I hope you like it...

Just load this in your favourite emulator...

DayAndNight - Minisite

20.11.2008

As you may have noticed, I created a little page for the DayAndNight-Tool. Just to let you know that I�m still alive and working... even if the university is amazingly stressing...

DayAndNight - Betatests

03.11.2008

Hey there, alltogether. =D

I put a lot of work in the DayNight script the last month - and the result is that it�s nearly done. The system works fine for me and my three beta testers. In the last hours I finished the design of the tool which will implement the system in the ROM.

And because I know how curious you are I brought along a little screenshot:

So what I still have to solve are the compatibility-problems with other versions... See ya soon. ;-)

Fancy Knowledge #3 - Using Two Different Musics In One Event

16.10.2008

Some people were asking for a possibility to use two different battle musics in one game. There is already one famous example around - zel�s Shiny Gold hack.

However, this article describes how to do it. It can be found in the tutorial-section. (as always)

Pokemon Day 2008 Munich - Hacked

06.10.2008

Jup, I have to admit, I was there - with Tutti from RHW.

Well - usually, what do you do if you�re surrounded by about 500 underaged children? Yes - you write some nice hack in order to get rid of your boredom. =)

So we finally managed to sniff the frequency of the Darkrai download station and replaced the Darkrai by the unachievable Arceus Event - including the Azure Flute. =P

So we sat in front of McDonald�s and watched all the kids climbing the Sky Pillar and catching Arceus instead of Darkrai.

BTW gratz to Nintendo on not having learned anything about hackers the last years. I really liked the moment when I recognized that you�re distributing Darkrai via an unsecure connection without any encryptions. XD

So - it was really fun for both of us, I hope all the other visitors enjoyed our "idea" too.

Pics? Sure, we have. =)

Day/Night Preview

21.09.2008

Jup. I nearly finished the project. The only thing I have to do is adapting the Day/Night System for all the different ROMs.

If you look closely you may get an idea when the System will be released. ;-)

Platinum Special Sprites

15.09.2008

Yup. Not much to say about them... Some people wanted them, so you can now find the special sprites in the Platinum Section...

Platinum Sprites

11.09.2008

Jup. On saturday the 13th september, Pokemon Platin has its release in Japan. Luckily, I managed to leak the ROM and SFC is now presenting all the sprites - directly ripped from the ROM by aeonos.

You can find them in a new category:

Pokemon Platinum

By the way, we�re making great progress in Zelda, too. =)

Some people were still doubting. For all of them - read that:

Great Hyrule Empire...

25.05.2008

A quick overview:

Low-resoluted version (Size 1:1) 2,5 MB
High-resoluted version (Size 1:1) 5 MB

This image was created by our MapViewer. There are still many things to fix, but as you can see we�re making progress...

Btw, sorry for the big lag of news, I had problems with the server.

Are we cool or what...?

29.04.2008

Aeonos started writing the Mapeditor for Zelda. Based on my information, we already got some nice results. Wanna see them? No problem!

Zelda - the current state

20.04.2008

This time I don�t want to waste time with words. Just look what we did. =)

Progress in hacking Zelda

16.04.2008

Eh! Are we cool or are we cool? Aeonos and I continued the work on reading maps in Zelda: The Minish Cap.
Proof? Sure, we have:

We�ll see what happens... =)

Fancy Knowledge #2 - How to read out IV

10.04.2008

Due to the great feedback to my "Read IV" code from all over the world I decided to release a little tutorial on how to implement the routine in a hack.

You can find it in the tutorial section.

Smaragd Codes V4.4

09.04.2008

Mit dem DV-Reader-Code, der die Betaphase gut �berstanden hat und einem Fast Egg Hatch Code, der bewirkt, dass alle Eier sehr schnell ausgebr�tet werden erscheint heute V4.4 des Smaragd Code Dokuments.

Read IVs by Code

05.04.2008

This is the English equivalent of the code I released two days ago.

Activate it and talk to the woman next to the pokecenter in Mauville City. She�ll tell you the IV of your pokemon in this order:

SPDEF, SPATT, SPEED, DEF, ATT, HP

I�ll build a tutorial on how to do it in the "romhacker way" too. (Means how to use it in a hack)

Enjoy!

Weltneuheit! DVs in Echtzeit auslesen - Per AR wird es m�glich

03.04.2008

Durch einige Untersuchungen an der Smaragd-ROM ist es mir gelungen, ein paar Funktionen per AR-Hack f�r meine Zwecke zu missbrauchen. Aus diesem Umstand heraus habe ich einen Action Replay Code entwickelt, welcher es m�glich macht, die DVs der eigenen Pokemon auszulesen - Ohne filb�s PokemonReader und ohne l�stiges Transferieren der Saves zum PC.

Man beachte, dass hiermit also auch erstmals Besitzern eines ARMAX die M�glichkeit geboten ist, an die "Gene" ihrer Teampokemon zu kommen.

Wer gewillt ist, einen 56-Zeiligen Code abzutippen, dem stehen nun alle M�glichkeiten des Breedens offen.

Und wie soll das funktionieren? - Ganz einfach. Den Code abtippen, anschlie�end nur diesen und den zugeh�rigen Mastercode aktivieren. Durch den Patch �ndert sich das verhalten der Frau links vom Pokemoncenter in Malvenfroh City. Sie sagt euch die DVs in der folgenden Reihenfolge:

SPVER, SPANGR, INIT, VERT, ANGR, KP

Erfolg garantiert!

Zus�tzlich k�nnen auch bei Eiern die DVs problemlos ausgelesen werden.

Code ist f�r die Deutsche Smaragd Edition. Viel Spa� damit!

National Dex for Ruby US

30.03.2008

I�ve been asked for a method to enable the National Dex by script. Using script command 0x11 I simulated the national-dex-code.

Here we go: (just insert it in a script)

11 02 00 6B 02 02 11 03 01 6B 02 02 11 DA BE 4E 02 02 11 67 5A 6A 02 02

Remember, this script only works for Ruby version 1.0 (US).

Project #3 - The Tool to edit the worldmap is completed!

18.02.2008

And here it is. The tool you all have been waiting for, the one I have been asked for about 100 times so far. It�s able to edit everything related to the worldmaps.

Well, but how to find it? The answer is simple but efficient: It�s built-in in the new 1.90 Version of Advance Map. LU-HO and me decided it would be the best if we merge the tools since the worldmap is directly related to all the other maps in the game.

Therefore I worked hard to provide all the needed information, but now we�ve reached the point where we can say: "It�s finished!"

Download the newest Advance Map with a LOT of additions of mine here:

Secret Trainer ID Code f�r Rubin & Saphir DEU

18.02.2008

Ja, es gibt auch noch deutsche News. Ich habe gerade bemerkt, dass es noch keinen Code f�r die deutsche Rubin oder Saphir Edition gibt, mit welchem man die Secret Trainer ID sehen k�nnte. Daher hab ich mal eben einen erstellt.
