While you're theory sounds very interesting, I have to disagree with this specific detail. The difference between versions of Pokemon are very great. By hacking Ruby and Sapphire or Leaf Green and Fire Red one can find that the versions are VERY different in coding. In fact, one of the only things that are the same between them is the text encoding. You have to think, Diamond and Pearl have completly different title screens, different pokemon available, different text during certain parts, and different events. This, from my own personal experience with hacking, is MUCH larger than one line of code.

I think, what he means, is that both Diamond/Pearl contain the corresponding data. For example, the Pearl game would actually contain all the Diamond data (title screen, events, etc.) and vise versa. A 'switch' only has to be switched (i.e that single line of code) and the game changes.

He's probably right, too, because it would have been far easier for Nintendo to work with and the new DS cartridges have tons of space.

Hey
Everybody!

Sorry for not posting the screenshots as promised.
(I've been having problem with my Internet connection)

But anyway here is a screenshot for now.:)

EDIT: Forgot to mention , It's one of the guardstaitons
(you know the ones between routes and towns like
at the west side of jubilife)

Well.. All this 'Diamond and Pearl are the same game' CAN be true..
YES, the Diamond titlescreen is in the Pearl version and vice versa.. BUT, it's in a folder called 'demo'..
So.. Well.. anyway, we should investigate it a lil' more..

Hackbeginnerdylan January 9th, 2008 10:59 PM

cool
 
This seems pretty cool i might try it out when i am finished with my gold hack!

Heart's Soul January 10th, 2008 2:24 PM

In post #2, there is a picture of the DS emulator. How do you make it go so fast (mine goes 48%...)

Dude0 January 11th, 2008 2:31 AM

hey can u change the sprites on pokemon diamond

yes thanks for the screenshot ok yes my first post here but i completly support this and il help however i can and with this we are 1 huge step closer to making a map editor.

edit 9:03am alantic time) good morning everyone

Come on people we can't let this forum die out..... We've been born to hack games..... And diamond and Pearl are hard to hack..... I've read tones of forums not only from The Pokemon Community but from other forums and they've all been trying to hack.... someone should think about making a map editor maybe they could get a group of really good hackers that no how to rip things out of pokemon pearl and diamond....

What are we? HACKERS
And What are we born to do? HACK!!!!!
And what does everyone want? A diamond and pearl Map Editor and some other hacking programs for diamond and Pearl

It's not that easy, before you an editing program you need to know what your editing. i don't think anyone knows anything about editing maps in d/p

final someone has posted its been days so well i geuss i can ask a friend of mine at school about indepth hex programs he is a genuise with computers.

EvilCrazyMonkey January 17th, 2008 2:29 PM

Wow, D/P hacking is really coming together. Once I get home I'll be able to have tons of free space on my computer, so I'll look into the hex coding when that happens. I'll try as hard as I can to make a text table or something else.
Like spenceroone3(I think that's how it's spelled) did, randomly editing the coding of the game is probably the best way to discover the map offsets and how the whole thing works. Make 100% sure to write/type the offset of what you changed, the original code, and the new, modified code. It may not be easy, but what other ways are there?

0m3ga_S1nn3r January 17th, 2008 2:41 PM

Hmmmm..... I see your point gabe_k
But then wouldn't it just be like riping the sprites out of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl?

pokenar, your are my new best friend.... has your friend joined The Pokemon Community or is interested in Pokemon.... Well anyways Thanks pokenar I reckon if he does join and help hack Diamond and Pearl... We could get one step closer to making a Diamond and Pearl hack!

EvilCrazyMonkey..... Well done..... I would say more but i have to goto my friends house but when i come back ill promise ill add more... :)

well good news bad news he dosnt like pokemon but he dosnt hate it il just get him to teach me alot about hexing and mabye even the hex program of preal maby he can come up with something he and i are only in grade 7 but he can create a sowat desint program in less then a minute.

Heart's Soul January 17th, 2008 3:06 PM

I still don't get it. How can you get 100+% on a DS emulator?

EvilCrazyMonkey January 17th, 2008 3:08 PM

Brilliant Idea just hit me...
 
Pokesav. That's the answer. If anyone is experienced in programming, check out the pokesav application. It's located at http://www.drakendomain.net. It generates ARDS codes, so it definitely has to deal with hex editing and offsets. Also, check out the ARDS codes separately to find out how the thing works. It will help, I can tell you that.

EDIT:
I made a banner for this thread. It's a userbar, not nearly as cool, but space-saving for those of you that want to have multiple pics in your signature without having to worry about pixel size as much.

Here's the code for it:
Replace {}s with []s to work for BBCode.

WOOT!!!! I like the banner EvilCrazyMonkey... Looks very good.... like i promised your doing a wonderful job...

pokenar.... Well.... If he can make a heck lot of design programs.... He could just help us.... could u ask him if he can make 3-D Design Tools?

Well... I guess were making up for lost time eyy? Lol! But were far from hacking diamond and pearl... even if it takes years i would still hack diamond and pearl.... look how old Gold/Silver are... and people are still hacking em.... Well all i can say is WOOT!!!!! 1 Step closer to hacking diamond and pearl (I Don't No How Many Steps There Are To Hack Diamond And Pearl???) Lol! :)

Trying to Map Edit.
 
Taking what spenceroone3 did, we should expand on it.
1. Go somewhere between 6000000-7000000 and look for alternating patterns. It has to be something like 8F 31 03 8F 31 03 8F 31 03 over and over and over again. The alternation can be longer, but it must alternate. Those probably correspond to the map tile, the walkability of the tile(solid, passable, surfable), and the Z-index of the tile(aka the height).
2. Record the offset of whatever you're going to edit and the original code. At first, to be safe, change it to a low number. Record that also.
3. Hunt for what you have changed, but don't take too long. If you cannot find what you have changed, go back to the hex editor and change it back.
4. If you can find what you have changed in the thing, congratulations! Record what happened before and after the change. Post it here, with all the recordings. If it's a map change, we'd be about 20 steps closer to cracking D/P. If it's a map change, edit a single thing to see how the game reads the individual bytes of the map. If you can edit certain bytes and obtain a different tile each time, start making a file of what byte(s) correspond to what tiles. If you can, do the same with the z-index and walkability of the tiles. If we can see what those certain things are, it will be a hell of a lot easier to create a mapping program.
5. If you notice someone talking and saying something different in your game, record what they said before and after. Congratulations, you can now create a text table! Finish that up, and post it here.
6. If someone is doing something odd, or their script is funny, we are a step closer to scripting D/P! If you're an inexperienced scripter(like me...), then you should probably hand the job down to a very experienced scripter.
7. If an item does something funny, then we may be able to change what items do in the game.
8. If it's anything else, then tell us here and we could probably be able to change much more than we could in the Advanced Generation.

If you want to add to this, post it here and I'll edit it.

loadingNOW January 18th, 2008 7:09 AM

you know text is already hacked and documented right? and so are Items i (think) moves leveluptables and all that simple suff
for text table & how to decrypt text see:
pokeguide.filb.de/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1177337015&archive=&start_from=&ucat=&
(yeah i know the tool is not exactly user friendly...)

The only thing that has not been demonstrated yet are
-maphacking (which will be very complicated because of 3d)
-and scripting (mostly because it has a lot to do with maps)

EvilCrazyMonkey January 18th, 2008 5:44 PM

Pattern Found.
 
I found something intresting in the hex coding of the game. My emulator isn't working yet, so I cannot edit it and find out what it is yet.

It starts at the offset 0x253D668. It's a pattern, 32 bytes long. Here it is:

B1 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
B2 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
B2 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
B2 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
B2 30 30 30 30 30 30 30
30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30

I don't know, it just seems to pop out at me. Someone, please see what it is. I think it might have something to do with a map. I'll work on my emulator tommorow, when I'm at home.

PiplupGHacker January 20th, 2008 5:29 PM

Ok, does anyone know the hex codes to make the hero blue instead of blue? I've been trying to do it forever but nothing happens. I'm sorry if I'm supposed to post somewhere else though

Has anyone figured out how to edit the wild pokemon? I think diamond and pearl is a great game but the wild pokemon selection really brings it down. I would love to make a patch where all pokemon are catchable. I would imagine this cant be too difficult because it was relatively easy in previous games.
