    Why is everyone using emulators to play hacks on?
    I, for one, have been playing my hack, Pokémon Plutonium, on actual hardware.
    I also was able to boot a version of Animal Crossing Wild World that I edited.
    Am I the only one here with a SuperCard?

    Does someone know if exists any text-editor for D/P?

    It's called a hex editor in this case.
    Most DS games simply use ASCII.
    I know Animal Crossing does and even the DS firmware does too.

    Where did you get the emulator and rom from? I would like to try my hand at hacking but my emulator runs so slowly it's not even worth having.

    A simple solution.
    1:Buy the game and dump it like I did
    2:Run hack on actual hardware like I do

    Tools have come out:

    PokeTex
    NDStool
    PokeDSpic

    Just to name a few...

    I thought NDStool was not for just Pokémon.
    I use it when I make homebrew for the ds

    im glad that the DS generation games can also be hacked now.
    I really hope that a map editor like advancemap comes out for DS hacking.

    DS games have already been able to be hacked.
    I made a hacked version of Animal Crossing Wild World using just a hex editor and an Animal Crossing Wild World rom that I dumped by myself :-D

    Well I don't know if you guys have figured it out or not but I am curently editing maps(ignore this if you already know how to do it)I haven't perfected it yet but I have turned the pond at the beginning into a black pit. If someone could tell me how to take screenshots with no$gba I would gladly show you.

    Its always a black pit when you play on the no$gba emulator...

    Ok, well then I guess I'll go and create some more black pits while I figure out how to map. And sorry for thinking I was accomplishing something. :) But I did edit something in the game and I am going to find out what it was.(using hex workshop)

    So has anyone had any success in mapping with hex editor(other than when I just turned the walls into floor tiles{actually I think I just got rid of the walls})?

    Well if you think about don't you think that the ground uses tiles, and everything abouve the normal elevation is a 3-D object?

    Because if you look at the game when you are playing it kinda looks as if the ground uses
    tiles and the everything above normal elevation is a 3d object even mountains and buildings.

    And if a map editor is every created my guess is that you put the ground tiles then place 3-d objects on top of the tiles.

    I don't know if anybody will understand, but I think you all will.

    Well, I have a little theory, I think that every step you take generates a new map. I mean, I don't think that they can actually make the game look like that, and it be 3-d. Wouldn't you be able to move in any direction if it was 3-d? That's just what I think so I don't know. It probably sounds stupid.

    I'm so glad iDeaS can emulate the rom better! It even has the right colors as compared to No$Gba which has a somewhat faded look to the colors(and it lags like crazy). Also, being able to run a non-patched rom to work with as well, since all the programs work with unpatched roms.(You have to use patched roms with no$gba)
