    Hello everyone! I just uploaded a series of Pokemon DS rom hacking tutorial vids and wanted to post them here in case they help anyone out. They are definitely not high level stuff, mostly a showcase of how to use tools like Tinke, Kiwi, PokeDS/Pic, DS Text Editor, and PPRE for trainer team editing. So more of a "rom hacking for dummies" kind of guide.

    Hmm sounds interesting, especially because the tutorials are focused on Pokemon D/P.
    I will watch them today, they look very detailed.

    I'm not planning on hacking gen 4 at all any time soon, but I will say, I appreciate what you're doing for those who are interested in dipping their feet in gen 4.
    Nice work : )

    T.T That's so nice...thank you! I am just glad they are being of use!
     
    Even though I'm not interested in rom hacking gen 4 right now these are pretty helpful and informative, thanks for making them.

    If you would make a gen 5 BW2 tutorial you would be my hero.

    Thanks! I do only have experience with Platiunim and a little bit of HG SS, but from what i understand these techniques should be similar to Black and White. The main headache is just figuring out where all the files are located
     
    I posted something on this some months back… Is finally happening! Sir, you have made my day.
