Black 2 hack: Pokemon Moon Black 2 (September 2020 Update Released)

DeadskullzJr Provided a fix for those playing on their ds/3ds

Pokemon - Moon Black 2 (Beta v3.1) - November 26, 2019

Changelog:
- Fixed header information
- Added custom header information
- Fixed flashcart compatibility

Both the 3.0 and 3.1 patches don't work on all 18 dumps I have for Black 2. It keeps saying its not a valid magic number, or a bad Delta.

    What's a good place to get an Xdelta patcher for this? The one I have keeps giving me this notification:

    Error : xdelta.exe:C:\users\MyPC\Desktop\Pokemon Romhacks\Pokemon Moon Black 2\Pokemon - Moon Black 2 (Beta v3.1) (USA, Europe) (NDSi Enhanced).xdelta:bad magic number:not a valid delta

    Another version of Xdelta that I have, I don't remember why I have 2 btw, gives this:

    xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT

    Help please?

    I think its just the patches are not compatible with the rom, hopefully JrFort can fix it soon

    You guys have a baffling issue, because I tested it TWICE against xDeltaUI and xDeltaGUI and both were successful at patching the game. The error you speak of isn't related to the patch at all, but more so the way the software detects the file as. If the patch was the problem then you should have gotten this error instead:

    xDeltaUI Download: (original, same version I use for all my xdelta patches)

    WARNING:
    USING MODIFIED VERSIONS OF SAID SOFTWARE CAN PRODUCE ISSUES. If the software is modded to disable checksum checks, check the integrity of the patch in a manner not normal to the normal software period, or is a third party source of the original source altogether, STOP USING IT! I can't stress this enough, I linked the proper and original version of xDeltaUI for you to use.

    Opening and closing my inventory bag causes my game to freeze.
    On the latest Twilight Menu ++.

    Many thank yous for the help. I just downloaded the game from discord instead to make it easier than fiddling around with xDelta for the third time.

    Re; the hack itself, I was honestly assuming it was a demake of Sun&Moon on Black2&White2, but this is fine too. I haven't had a pokemon story since Emerald anyway so it's an experience in itself, and what an experience it is. I mean, I got my ass kicked by the girl who is scared of pokemon in canon, so yeah.

    Kudos though. Neat romhack.

    Hey, you say in the beginning of the game that a documentation is available, but I can't find it anywhere. Can you post the link somewhere so it's easier for we to know pokemon locations and etc in Moon Black 2?????

    bugs found so far:
    1. grubbin's pokedex entry describes it as a tiny pigeon pokemon
    2. the female character skin changes to the original one temporarily when super rod is used

    All Pokédex entires are not changed yet. We didn't prioritize Pokédex entries because they are not very important.
    All Female sprites are not completed yet Fort is still working on it.
