Managed to successfully replace the music when you talk to Oak.

This just proves that if we had scripting knowledge, it wouldn't be that hard to do a Yellow remake with DS graphics.

After all, all the music, maps and sprites are already there.

It should already be, I doubt it has changed much from DPPt. I previously located the file at 0/7/4

You can read about my findings on how it worked in DPPt here.

Hey. Im not exactly new to hacking pokemon roms. Actually, check out my hacks of pokemon heart gold, soul silver, and platinum. Just Search this name ankrahman28 on youtube.

Im sorry that i am bothering you with this. I downloaded those back sprites you uploaded from heart gold and soul silver. But it seems i cant edit it with paint or Windows Photo Gallery. Which means I cant edit it to 8 bit i believe it is. Is there a program that allows you to edit the backsprites? Or can you tell me where the backsprites are located? Please?

They're indexed, just try taking a screenshot of them, and then just paste tthem into paint. Its easier.

There's no support for Cyrillic characters in the pokemon games.

hey i was just wondering if anyone knew of a evolution editor in the making the main reason I ask this is because it seems like you guys have got the pointers to the pokemon data (because of the gym leader hacking tool from Swampert) and someone in this thread said they were able to hack cyndaquil's evolution to be at a lower level (I think it was cyndaquil anyway) just wondering is all

Yes; it's called a hex editor. Seriously, pre-made tools aren't the only way to hack; evolution data is just a couple of bytes, so it's easily changeable manually. It's not like it's hard to find, either; I'd expect it to be in the same format as in D/P, so you just need to find the correct .narc and edit accordingly.

there was no need for attitude I know about hex editing that is how I have been doing it I was just thinking it would be easier with a pre made tool...

But anyway yes it is exactly the same DPPt so yeah it is pretty simple enough I guess

Could someone who knows how it wirks please explain trainer battles in HGSS (I'm talking Hex)

also incase people wanted to know the offset for movesets starts at (In a clean HG ROM) 29EF818

All I know is that it's in ARM, not the usual filesystem. You might have some trouble finding it though because all the overlays are compressed (they weren't in DPPt, but HGSS packs a lot more into the same space).

I have a few questions:

1. Can .narc files be edited with a hex editor?
2. Is it possible to edit opponent teams with a hex editor?
3. Is it possible to edit the Pokedex order with a hex editor?

Yes, all possible. Isn't it just nifty what you can do with a hex editor?

You must not understand the concept of a hex editor (for the record it could just as easily be a binary, octal, decimal, etc editor, hexadecimal is just a convenient number systems when it codes to computers).

Everything on a computer is represented, on its lowest level, by numbers stored in memory. A file is just one big, long number. Therefore any file can be opened and of course edited in its numeric form. Your success in editing it to achieve a desired effect will depend on how well you understand that file, but it will always be possible.

Since humans aren't machines we find it much easier to understand things other than numbers, so we make programs (which themselves are a number) that will turn that big number of a file into something meaningful, usually graphically.
