[Other] Question about editing banlist of Gen 5

    Hi all! According to a thread titled "[Gen V] Edit the banlist of Battle Subway and PWT" by MeroMero, I should be able to allow all legendaries in PWT and Battle Subway (Sorry, I can't link yet).

    I'm new to editing Pokemon ROMs, but after some research, I managed to extract a/1/0/6 narc and edit files 20, 21, 22, 33, 34, 35, 36 by replacing every byte with 0 (using Cygnus Hex Editor).

    After reinserting this edited narc, my Pokemon White 2 ROM ran without error, but when I try to enter the Battle Subway, I get a "You need 6 Pokemon" message.

    I've attached a few screenshots to help clarify my problem.

    When using a team of 6 banned legends and trying to "Enter" one, I get this message:

    When using a team of 6 non-banned Pokemon and trying to "Enter" one, I get this message:

    When clicking "Confirm" with 0 entered Pokemon (which apparently is allowed), I save the game, board the subway, then the game crashes and gives me this screen:

    Can someone please help me figure out why my narc edit isn't working?

    If anyone has the time, could you do me a favor and edit a Pokemon White 2 ROM to allow all legendaries in PWT/Battle Subway?

    Thanks!

    Sorry to double post, but the EDIT button isn't working for me and I've found the solution to my problem.

    In B2/W2, the files we need to edit are 20,21,22,33,34,35, and 36. Each of these files has 8 bytes in the front, the banlist itself that looks like this
    Code:
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
    00 00 C0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0E
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 C0
    07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 98 7E 00 00
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
    D8 03
    and some other stuff after that. To clear the banlist, you have to set everything inside the CODE snippet to 0. My mistake was that I set every byte to 0.
