Diamond/Pearl/Platinum hacking

600th REPLY, because gabe_k took the 600th post!

Anyway, DP is considered one of the hardest things to hack now, but I wonder... is it stable like Ruby or Firered, or like Emerald. 1 little mistake and the game dies.
And on the binary theory, isn't it kinda harder to get the correct 8 numbers like 00101102*?
I say HEX is easier, especially if you have Romtext. It translated HEX to English. I even have this thing memorized: 00 - spacebar.
Anyway, that's my theory, even if t don't make sense.

00101102* -It's a joke. There are no 2's in binary. I made my own version- I know.

I guess think about it this way.
Let's say you had to memorize a value that stands for a symbol.
FE = \n
or
11111110 = \n
The binary line would be harder.

And also, lets say you screwed up one number in that binary line, you could have something totally different. There's just more room for error working with binary.
 
Just to note, I've contacted the creators of Lunar IPS.

Maybe we can work together on a patching and patch making program.

i found an ips patcher somwhere that works for D/P (IPSWIN20)
Edit: how can you change starters w/ a hexeditor?

Hmm. I have never HEX edited before but I found this area. It all seems to relate to Nintendo WFC. I may have found text or something?

Spoiler:


Anything?

I've treid that, and it doesn't work for me at all. It says it was patchted, but it never makes the changes :/

Well, now I wish I had a hex-editor. I need to learn this before MAY. (the release date for the better tools0
 
A big surprise is coming tomorrow :P

Hehehe *cough*

Thanks Sebbe, you've helped us out alot :P
 
Have we found ANYTHING on map editing? It's ok if ya havent but i see youre making prgress so...
I think we've set the progress bar at 1% when it comes to mapping :/

We really need a 3D programmer on staff to help us make it.
 
Gabe_k said that mapping was at about 50%...
And a mapping program was 10%...
But i don't know...
did you finish that trainer list yet?
Nope this is only the start... I made some more traniers to the list today... But i gues i wont post them yet... (Unlees that some one realy want them?)
But all this stuff is pretty hard for me without being able to test all the stuff...

That's just researching the game, not an actual program :P
