Crystal hack: Pokémon Polished Crystal (update 3.1.1!)

[HansMaikowski]

I really don't know why this is happening to you. Now that you mention it, maybe it's Retro, because I remember using cheats in Unbound that were perfectly fine in VBA, but that got bugged when I tried VBA and mGBA through RetroArch. Also, I've seen that people on the Android version are having certain bugs like using MS cheat and when they get other Pokeballs it turns into berries that are sent to another inventory slot.

Just to make sure this isn't a RetroArch bug, try using mGBA and activate this cheat to see if it works.

Thank you. I tried this cheat on Windows mGba and it work. On RetroArch mGba (latest version) it not working. However, when I use cheats in RetroArch with another hack (BW3 genesis), cheats work perfectly on the same mGba version.

Upd. I fix cheat for RA/mGba. Mgba cut the second part of cheat (0163C2D8) for some reason, so for working cheat it require 2 separate code, first change first item to Rare Candy, second change amount to 99.

Can anyone tell me where I can get an electirizer? Looking for elekid in the magnet tunnel but haven't found any

Try Rock Tunnel or the tunnels on route 10.

Sorry if this is has been asked or just asking a general question like this but Yanmega is my fav, where is the ancient power TM? Or do they learn it by leveling up like in the newer games?

Very nice my friend!

I would suggest you avid using cheats in ROM Hacks because with how much data has been edited, it most likely will crash your game, and if not immediately, then at some point.

Well, that depends.

If you download and compile the source yourself you can fairly easily come up with your own cheats (there's a how-to out there somewhere on the internet, don't bother asking me) that are safe to use but those cheats are subject to change with *every* revision to the code the original hack dev makes so you have to check them each time you pull and recompile the source.

But just using some random cheat code found on the internet or PKhex? Yeah, probably not going to work and can possibly corrupt the data in your save file.

Thanks for the tip!

That's why I disable them immediately as soon as I check the box. This doesn't even take 2 seconds with the cheat activated, since I don't need to constantly hold 99 MS or RC. I also always make at least 2 backup + 2 save states before activating cheats.

I forgot to mention that this cheat was created by a user called [TAG]1Kilo from the official Discord and it was supervised and tested by me. He's a nice person who always tries to help people if they want certain cheats.

I used the rare candy code shared here before and haven't had any problems. Used it with 7 badges in Johto, now 6 badges of kanto in the pocket and still going strong.

Be warned: whatever code you used likely will not work across updates.

Note: I don't guarantee that any Gameshark codes will actually work. If you run into glitches while using one, please turn it off and see if the problem still happens before reporting it.

So here's how Gameshark cheats work:

01xxAABB (or sometimes 91xxAABB) forces the value at memory address BBAA to xx.

If you compile pret's pokecrystal, it generates a file called pokecrystal.sym listing the source-code label of each address. Polished Crystal also generates polishedcrystal.sym.

So if you know that the codes 010F4ED8 01424FD8 013F50D8 give you ¥999,999 money in Pokémon Crystal, you can convert them to the Polished Crystal equivalents:

• The Crystal codes end in 4ED8, 4FD8, and 50D8.
• So they apply to addresses D84E, D84F, and D850.
• pokecrystal.sym has the line "01:D84E Money".
• polishedcrystal.sym has the line "01:D855 Money".
• Which means Polished Crystal stores money in addresses D855, D856, and D857.
• So the equivalent codes are 010F55D8 014256D8 013F57D8.
• But! Look at the three xx values: 0F, 42, and 3F. 0F423F is a hexadecimal (base-16) number, equal to 999,999 in decimal (base-10). But Polished Crystal supports up to ¥9,999,999. That's 98967F in hex. So you want 019855D8 019656D8 017F57D8.

Now you have ¥9,999,999 money!

Note that new versions of Polished Crystal are likely to change the RAM addresses as a side effect of new features and bugfixes. So always verify your codes when upgrading versions.

Is it possible to have a pre-adjusted form of cheat codes? Because I used a feel of the modified cheat codes and they still don't work and I'm using myoldboy as the emulator
