[Other] HG/SS : Edit the starters !

[Dr.Razor]

Tool needed :

-Crystal Tile 2
-Any hex editor

1) Decompress arm9 binarie:

1. Open your rom with Crystal Tile 2
2. Click on the ds logo
   
3. Right click on FSI.CT/arm9.bin and click Extract
4. Don't close Crytal Tile 2, you'll need it again

2) Edit Arm9 binarie:

1. Open arm9.bin with an hex editor
2. Look for "98 00 00 00 9B 00 00 00 9E 00 00 00"
   

98 is the national pokédex number of the grass starter in base 16 = 9 *16 + 8 = 152
9B is the national pokédex number of the fire starter in base 16 = 9 *16 + B = 155
9E is the national pokédex number of the water starter in base 16 = 9 *16 + E = 158

(use a converter if you don't know how to calculate : http://www.kaagaard.dk/service/convert.htm)


Let's put kanto starters:

1. 
2. Save the modifications
3. Go back to Crystal Tile 2
4. Right click on FSI.CT/arm9.bin and click Compression
5. Save and close

And you're done =)
