Hi, firstly I would like to thank you for the huge amount of time, dedication and effort that you have no doubt put in to making all of this a possibility with your love of the gen 3 Pokémon games and you sir have blown my mind with your skills and at the same time reignited my same love of the gen 3 games from my childhood during the very early 2000's. As I do not have the required hardware to do this I had to go the emulator route, but although I followed your guide to do this to the T, I am having an issue with the Mystery Event rom I loaded with the new multiplayer window, telling me to check that the wireless adapter is connected. I have tried to look online for a solution but seeing as what I am attempting to do is not very well known, all I get are answers like "just inject event items with a cheat code" but obviously this isn't about just getting event items, it is an event in itself. Any help on this issue would very greatly be appreciated. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
I have 5 kids, 4 that are old enough to play games, so I pulled out my old gameboy DMG, pocket, gbc and gba stuff few years back. I got them gen 1 games and a gbc and they are close to finishing their Pokédex’s and they have gen 2 games. I throw events in the house with Pokémon stadium 1 and 2 with prizes. Next year plan on getting gbas and some extra ruby and sapphire games. Your work has been awesome. I can’t wait to use the exploits with the old e reader to make events for the kids.
Mad respect for the hard work that went into creating these - I'm considering going deeper into the technical side of this all so that I can participate in the events you created. You've inspired at least one person to get into the grown-up side of pokemon!
I wasn't aware that you could dump saves with a Homebrewed Wii! This is very helpful to know since I've been doing a lot of stuff with Emerald and other Gen 3 games lately, so backing up the save for preservation will be helpful. I'll definitely check out these events now!
You can see the passion put into making sure everyone gets to experience these events. I'll need to inject each one since I don't have an e-reader or a good printer, but I sure am glad there's an option for me as well. Great job Blisy!
I can’t wait to try these events! Thank you for the explicit tutorial, im always really wary when messing with my beloved Pokémon saves, but this gives me a great guide to follow!
Amazing video bro, you seriously deserve an award. Ever considered printing out extra e-reader copies & selling them online for 5-10 bucks per event? I know someone like me would prefer just purchasing directly from you vs. doing all the technical stuff
I'm so not tech savvy but I will figure it all out someday (too occupied trying to get all gold symbols atm 😅) bc I really want to shiny hunt these mons, especially Celebi! Thank you for all your work Blissey, and not a single paywall to be found. Truly an icon
This was amazing! I'll try with the backup save method since getting a new printer and the rest of the hardware is not an option ATM. I love GBA games so your hard work is truly appreciated.
It’s awesome, It’s so wonderful have a community doing everything to keep games working, alive, even after so many years… your work is fantastic, man. Congrats.
Props for making these as accessible as possible. One question: Could I use any GBA cart and flash a new save over that, or is there a specific reason you're using a fake cart?
Official GBA carts can't be flashed, you either need a flashable cart or maybe something like the omega flash and load the rom from there but i don't know if that will work
@@KopperNeoman to my understanding, I think they meant something like "grab an original Pokémon Emerald and flash the distribution rom in that" ofc you can flash into save data, if that's what they meant, well... I got the idea wrong
pleased as punch, as they say, that you can still make this work on flash carts to have some of the physical experience. thanks for your and the community's hard work!
This is so cool! I'm so excited to play your events it's really made my day, thank you! I do have a question, is it possible to play these events more than once? I really enjoy using RNG manipulation to get shinies and I want to do that for your events, but I also would like to be able to have non-shiny versions of each Pokémon
Hey @imablisy, awesome work! This is great. I just have one question. Do you have to do this process to get the event Pokémon or would I be able to get them through the ACE method as well ?
Bro your channel always has tasty new bits. This one was a good one, is there a team/project trying to make available all of the Ecard trainers for gen3/coliseum?
I'm trying to inject via mGBA, and I was able to put the Celebi and Entei events into the game, but the other events always get "loading error" mystery event process. It's strange because on the e-reader it still says "event delivered!"
True, they’ll function and behave nearly the same, but I guess this method is as “original” as you can get today if that makes sense. Either way you gotta give him props cuz this looks like it took massive man hours
@@nhovi9656 ye for sure, I just thought more people would be able to play his events because nearly everyone interested in this is able to get a NDS and an R4, while getting 2gbas and 2 adapters and the gba flash cart is a bit more complicated
A friend and I started playing around with a sapphire rom in vba. We wanted to learn scripting, so we built a macro to shiny hunt legendary static encounters afk. This turned into hunting starters and even random encounter shinies. Our main hurdle was the latis, which was very complicated for our macros due to the reset and then needing to fly to another location. I discovered the eon ticket and other event distros and I HAD to figure it out. I was able to use dolphin emulator to connect the coliseum bonus disk and get jirachi. Now we are able to get the other mon through e reader codes! ( I never knew about the e reader growing up so this is a huge breakthrough.) Now after I do these event mon, my friend and I are going to script the shiny hunting for the ticket latis. I might end up doing a youtube vid on this journey myself, its been a ton of fun.
Are the e reader cards copies of the official events just in e reader format? (Deoxys, Mew, etc. events) Or are they all custom-made events that you can add into the games through the e reader?
Will there ever be a method for the 3ds homebrewing? My sister and I have emerald and sapphire on our 3ds’s and i’d love to surprise her with these awesome mystery events! Otherwise this video is super awesome and I appreciate the dedication you and your team have with preserving these amazing pieces of Pokemon history
So excited, got all the equipment and testing with my dumped ROM is successful! Just a few questions: 1. What's the difference between "CelebiEventUnlocked" and just plain "CelebiEvent" in the Emerald folder? 2. With these events, once the pokemon is captured, is the event over or could you do it again? If you fail to catch it and white out, is the pokemon gone for good? 3. I want to use the normal mystery gift feature to get the Emerald tickets so I can go to the islands. Will doing the work to set up "Mystery Event" cause the normal "Mystery Gift" feature to fail for any reason? Thank you!
Unlocked is a version of Celebi that is able to be shiny, the original version is 100% legal and can’t be shiny. So I made a version that could shiny hunt. After you catch it the event goes away, but you can just scan the card again. If you faint or white out or run you can just soft reset or speak to the event again and it’ll happen immediately. Mystery event will not cause anything to fail. Mystery event is basically programmed the same way as those tickets are- so you can only have one in at a time. In fact once you scan a card, mystery event goes away and you have to do mystery gift again to get it lol
@@imablisy Thanks! So, I know I can do mystery events to get the Aurora ticket, Eon ticket, etc. from the mystery man. and I can hold on to them and go to the islands anytime. Are mystery events similar in that I can "load in" all the mystery events in a row and then just play with all the events present in the game without needing to go back and scan another ereader code (Scan Entei, Raikou, Suicune tickets and then just play)? Or, for example, would I have to scan the ereader for each event (Scan Entei, catch Entei, Scan Raikou, Catch Raikou, etc.) because each new scan overwrites the previously existing event?
DS Lite with R4 is such a blessing, thanks for the detailed tutorial! As of now there is no way to get this to work with ndsevent tool nor pkmnchest right?
Man…793 hours in Pokemon Emerald?! You really deserves all special Pokemons. I already have two hundred and feel like I deserve it…imagine you, with all that time.
This is really cool! I'm having issues when it comes to injecting the saves. I have a gba flashcart with the e-reader US rom. I add the event save to my flashcart to the proper folder and naming on it so that the .sav file is associated with the e-reader rom. I have tried both the 64kb and 128kb version and that 3rd option of accessing saved data doesn't show up. Any help? Thanks!
Alright, I figured it out! - You need a clean ereader.gba rom file. - Put it anywhere you want on your flashcart. I use Everdrive GBA Mini. - On your PC, copy the name of the 128kb save file and paste the name on the fresh ereader.gba, renaming it to match the save file. - Copy and paste to duplicate the save file you chose (Entei Emerald.sav) and rename the copied save file to .fla instead of .sav (Entei Emerald.fla) - Move BOTH save files (.sav and .fla) to your save files location on the flashcart. For Everdrive GBA Mini, move your saves to the GBASYS/saves folder. - Launch the game and it should work.
Hey, just want to say, been watching your channel for a little over a week and it's great learning about this stuff. I do have a request though, after rng manipulating for some static and wild encounters, I wanted to start getting into breeding, because apparently it's easier to get 6IV and shinies via that. I read a couple of guides, but one step never made sense to me, which was the calibration part in generating the eggs. I understand how spinda painter works and all that, I just don't understand how, for example in one of the guides I read, how hitting the frame 3208 spinda is only 11, not 22 frames away from 3230, which would be the shiny spinda, due to doing 4 redraws. I don't understand how you would get that number. Anyways, thanks for your guides and videos, and hopefully you respond.
Wait, was the wider and thinner end a univerversal standard for link cables? because if that was the case, that would explain why as a kid I had such a hair pulling moment trying to figure out who was master and who was the slave when doing anything with the cable
Hi ! I'm having a small issue with the mystery event wc3. I'm on a French version of Emerald, and when I talk to the man in blue, he has the dialogue but the save prompt never shows up. I tried to load the same save file with an English rom, and it works. Technically I could use my English rom to load the event and then update my French save file with the French/English file (that's the next thing I'm gonna try), but it's a lot of back and forth for nothing. And reading the other comments, it seems that I'm not the only one having issues. So I was wondering : - Is the mystery event functionality "more" gone in the European versions of emerald than the English version, making it completely unavailable ? - if not, do you think it's possible to have an updated wc3 that works for the other languages ? is it something you intend to tackle in the future ? I also have another question, out of curiosity : since Japanese FRLG also have e-reader compatibility, do you want to do something with FRLG too some day ?
Does this work with link cables and not wireless? I have a GBA and an analogue pocket. Alternatively I have a gameboy player and either of the above but no wireless adapters.
Awesome contribution, thanks a lot. I tried Celebi in Ruby and Sapphire Spanish version and it works great but the Emerald ones don't work for me, it never saves the game when I talk to the mysterious event guy, I tried doing it in an American save with an emulator and the game in English and then transferring the saved game to my Spanish version but I get into combat against a bad egg 😢 Anyway, thanks for your contribution!😊
Hey Blisy thank you for the video. I’ve been following the mGBA method and am stuck at the part where I open the second multiplayer window and scan the ereader codes but it doesn’t seem to read the files. What should I do differently ?
I left a comment on your Github, but for some reason when I loaded the Entei event on my Sapphire cartridge, I got a crash sound I've never heard before after talking Eusine. Is there anything I may be doing wrong, blisy?
I got a question. is there any game to get a shiny shaymin? The only game I saw was BDSP but the event was only for a short while. If you can help me with my question that would be helpful. Also thx for making content like this.
question, will the unlocking of Mystery Event in emerald affect any link capabilities that the game has? (i.e having local battles with other gen 3 versions/games, mixing record, connecting to Colosseum/XD or use of Pokemon Box) i would like to do this on my Emerald cart but i don't want to lose my ability to connect to my gamecube and play against friends.
First of all, I would like to thank you for your efforts and achievements in Gen3 and for making my love for Pokemon blossom again with your first video. However, I also have a question regarding a bug I have: I extracted my save as ROM and imported the event using the WC3 tool. The event guy also appears and can be addressed. However, the text box freezes after he says "The event must now be saved". I play a German version of Emerald. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?
This is fake my friend says you get Jirachi by taking Deoxys to Mossdeep Space Center after completing the national dex and waiting for 100 rocket launches
This could be used to create an area in which you can find any rare Pokemon. I am thinking of a Wonder Safari (Zone) where you get a chance to find mythical Pokemon. Would it be possible to code it in a way that sets certain PID SID and location per Pokemon? This could become a way to host physical events with retro gamers who themselves do not have the capability to do the old events or to do ACE. Very interesting!
Hey Im a blisy you have so many tutorials about rng manipulation and I like them a lot but I couldn´t find a single one how to manipulate the pokemon that appear from using rock smash like Nosepass. There has to be a way to do it right?
I've been having a hell of a time getting my printed codes to scan so this dropped at the perfect time, thank you. I think the issue is my printer software just sucks (canon TR8520 so other people know what to avoid lol). It doesn't even let me pick DPI of the print. Guess I will have to try it out at the library or a print shop.
I have a german game and everytime I talk to the man in the Pokecenter my game crashes. I already changed the language to german before I inject WC3. So what I'm doing wrong?
I had the same problem in Emerald and couldn't find a solution there. Then I tried it with German Ruby instead and it worked using a far easier method. In Ruby/Sapphire, mystery event is unlocked by simply talking to the guy next to the PC in Petalburg City and saying "Geheim Geschehen Ist Jipp! Jipp!". Then you can inject any of the ME3 files from MYSTERY EVENT 3 EVENTS/DE in imablisy's github using WC3 tool. And that's it. The event should be unlocked.
I'm having trouble getting the Mystery Event GBA file to load onto my flash cartridge. I'm using miniSD Super Card cartridge and when I try to add the Mystery event file to it, I get a message saying "File Open Error" and it's not going in.
had an idea don't if its remotely possible but is the e reader able to put a patch through to change a games language so someone could cut down on cost and buy a legit Japanese copy? i know the e reader has been used for patches before.
I tried to reflash a spanish emerald repro cart with an Italian emerald rom with gbabf, however it keeps telling me a writing error at 0x0000, expected 0xfdf7, data address 0xffff. Do I have to convert the rom or something to fix it? I really don't know what I have to do
Hi, I am having trouble getting the events working. I injected mysteryevent and the person in the poke center takes me to a wireless communication menu. I tried using the mgba to emulate the e reader but the emerald just says wireless adapter not connected when going on mystery gift
Dear @imablisy I have an Emerald copy and an everdrive but no E-Reader or printing capabilities. Would it be possible to put the E-Reader Rom onto the everdrive off the computer and scan the events onto my copy of Emerald?
I have a sort of problem I think ? whenever I try to use the Mystery Event guy on the second floor I get stuck on the dialog box that I must save for me to use Mystery Event does anyone have any info on how I can fix that ? Thanks in advance you guys!
Does your emerald rom is the english version? Those events only work on english version. I had to load my french save into a us rom to make it work and find an another e-reader us rom.
Sadly my only physical copy of a 3rd gen game (Japanese Emerald) does not have an events on it, mystery gift isn’t even unlocked. It does have 250 hours from the prior person though.
Regarding the GBA BIOS for emulator, how does the 3DS virtual console GBA BIOS compare to the original? Would it still work, or do you need a bios from an original GBA (GBA SP or GameBoy Player)?
@@imablisyim using a 3ds emulator of sapphire but when injecting back using godmode 3ds it doesnt save and says file to big and putting the file in pkhex says its too big, this only happens when i added the events
@@imablisy also i used wc3 tool to inject your wondercard to get mystery event in emerald but the man isnt there at the pokemon centre i reloaded the area like you aid but he still wasnt there
how do i play the events into retroarch? i really want to play the events but i dont know how to. could you be willing to make a rom hack version of it or something else?
Is there anyway to do the flash cart methods with a GBA-GBA Link cable? While I have a collection of hardware, wireless adapters have eluded me as they've never been needed
@@K-dexYeah, a link cable would be Mystery Event, not Mystery Gift. Nothing doing without the adapter. Unless you get into multiboot fuckery - with that you could (you likely don't know how) write code to send to your GBA with your Emerald in it to modify the save.
Considering a wii with hbc can mess with save data, can it also set the rtc after a battery swap, similar to the berry patch, but instead set it to the time in the save?
It could if you programmed a tool to do it. But I don't think such a tool exists. There IS, however, a utility to send homebrew multiboots to your GBA, and I'm 80% certain one of those will do what you want!
EDIT: It does. For anyone having the same issue; recheck the game overrides settings tab whenever you do this. It may reset randomly. mGBA E-Reader method doesn't work.
@@imablisyI initially wrote a long rant about how it doesn't actually work, but in reality it's just mGBA that resets settings except BIOS settings on every launch, for whatever god forsaken rerason. I'm tired. Sorry for the dumb comment.
Probably will never get the chance to do this, I still remember the smell of melting cartridge to this day... Oh wait my mom melted Pokemon Pearl not Emerald, ether way its long gone 😭 But i still enjoyed this video, good shit 👍🏿🔥 Edit: OKAY EMULATORS ARE GO 🔥🔥🔥
Has anyone printing the cards and had any luck with a canon ? I'm using a canon ts6350 and have matched it as close as I can to blissy down to the glossy paper. I feel like I've tried every combination and can't find much online to look from.

Did you ever figure out a solution to this? I have the same problem
@@JBLZFTW nope… just gave up at this point. No one replied to me in the discord either
Alright, I figured it out!
- You need a clean ereader.gba rom file.
- Put it anywhere you want on your flashcart. I use Everdrive GBA Mini.
- On your PC, copy the name of the 128kb save file and paste the name on the fresh ereader.gba, renaming it to match the save file.
- Copy and paste to duplicate the save file you chose (Entei Emerald.sav) and rename the copied save file to .fla instead of .sav (Entei Emerald.fla)
- Move BOTH save files (.sav and .fla) to your save files location on the flashcart. For Everdrive GBA Mini, move your saves to the GBASYS/saves folder.
- Launch the game and it should work.
@@JoeyisBaked awesome will try this out probably over the weekend. Thanks!!
Hey, just want to say, been watching your channel for a little over a week and it's great learning about this stuff. I do have a request though, after rng manipulating for some static and wild encounters, I wanted to start getting into breeding, because apparently it's easier to get 6IV and shinies via that. I read a couple of guides, but one step never made sense to me, which was the calibration part in generating the eggs. I understand how spinda painter works and all that, I just don't understand how, for example in one of the guides I read, how hitting the frame 3208 spinda is only 11, not 22 frames away from 3230, which would be the shiny spinda, due to doing 4 redraws. I don't understand how you would get that number.
Anyways, thanks for your guides and videos, and hopefully you respond.
Wait, was the wider and thinner end a univerversal standard for link cables? because if that was the case, that would explain why as a kid I had such a hair pulling moment trying to figure out who was master and who was the slave when doing anything with the cable
it is standard.
Yep, P1 is Master, the other end is Slave(s).
And if you plug two GBA cables into each other, you make a GB cable!
What is the E reader rom u was talking about for the flashcard
Can this be done with link cable as well or only wireless adapter works?
Hi ! I'm having a small issue with the mystery event wc3.
I'm on a French version of Emerald, and when I talk to the man in blue, he has the dialogue but the save prompt never shows up. I tried to load the same save file with an English rom, and it works. Technically I could use my English rom to load the event and then update my French save file with the French/English file (that's the next thing I'm gonna try), but it's a lot of back and forth for nothing. And reading the other comments, it seems that I'm not the only one having issues. So I was wondering :
- Is the mystery event functionality "more" gone in the European versions of emerald than the English version, making it completely unavailable ?
- if not, do you think it's possible to have an updated wc3 that works for the other languages ? is it something you intend to tackle in the future ?
I also have another question, out of curiosity : since Japanese FRLG also have e-reader compatibility, do you want to do something with FRLG too some day ?
Does this work with link cables and not wireless? I have a GBA and an analogue pocket. Alternatively I have a gameboy player and either of the above but no wireless adapters.
Is there more info for editing saves with the link cable?
Or is it as simple as backing up the save on the micro card and putting it on your computer?
Awesome contribution, thanks a lot. I tried Celebi in Ruby and Sapphire Spanish version and it works great but the Emerald ones don't work for me, it never saves the game when I talk to the mysterious event guy, I tried doing it in an American save with an emulator and the game in English and then transferring the saved game to my Spanish version but I get into combat against a bad egg 😢 Anyway, thanks for your contribution!😊
hello to everyone in blisy's chat who ask how to do this stuff before watching the video
Can we get same thing play in android emulators because I don't have real emulator and game card
Like my boy etc reply ❤
Hey Blisy thank you for the video. I’ve been following the mGBA method and am stuck at the part where I open the second multiplayer window and scan the ereader codes but it doesn’t seem to read the files. What should I do differently ?
I left a comment on your Github, but for some reason when I loaded the Entei event on my Sapphire cartridge, I got a crash sound I've never heard before after talking Eusine.
Is there anything I may be doing wrong, blisy?
WOOOOO
Do you think its possible with manipulating eggs (if possible in these games) to get the other games version exclusives in fire red/ leaf green?
I got a question. is there any game to get a shiny shaymin? The only game I saw was BDSP but the event was only for a short while. If you can help me with my question that would be helpful. Also thx for making content like this.
thank you for all your effort!
Heck yeah, I have to try this!
This guy is awesome!
Man thanks so much for this! I was trying to get it to work on my emulator and I couldn’t figure out how to make the mystery event guy to show up
Thank you for this video.
question, will the unlocking of Mystery Event in emerald affect any link capabilities that the game has? (i.e having local battles with other gen 3 versions/games, mixing record, connecting to Colosseum/XD or use of Pokemon Box)
i would like to do this on my Emerald cart but i don't want to lose my ability to connect to my gamecube and play against friends.
First of all, I would like to thank you for your efforts and achievements in Gen3 and for making my love for Pokemon blossom again with your first video.
However, I also have a question regarding a bug I have: I extracted my save as ROM and imported the event using the WC3 tool. The event guy also appears and can be addressed. However, the text box freezes after he says "The event must now be saved". I play a German version of Emerald.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong?
It’s not available for any emerald other than English
@@imablisy
Ah Ok! Thank you for the quick response :D
Hmm...thank you for your work and kindness, sadly...this is not possible for me...
This is fake my friend says you get Jirachi by taking Deoxys to Mossdeep Space Center after completing the national dex and waiting for 100 rocket launches
they're telling the truth.
During the section about injecting with mGBA, where did the E-Reader ROM you used come from? Is it available on the Github?
I backed up my own e-reader, which you should also do.
@@imablisy Thank you for the response! For the cards to work, does it have to be a region-specific E-Reader? like from the US or Japan
I didn’t even know you could get mystery gift thing in those games
Me watching, knowing that I will not do any of these things because I only own a gba and no computer, but am still fascinated by all this:
This could be used to create an area in which you can find any rare Pokemon. I am thinking of a Wonder Safari (Zone) where you get a chance to find mythical Pokemon. Would it be possible to code it in a way that sets certain PID SID and location per Pokemon? This could become a way to host physical events with retro gamers who themselves do not have the capability to do the old events or to do ACE. Very interesting!
Have you seen my dlc videos lol
Hey Im a blisy you have so many tutorials about rng manipulation and I like them a lot but I couldn´t find a single one how to manipulate the pokemon that appear from using rock smash like Nosepass. There has to be a way to do it right?
Will these events also work on german emerald? Or just japanese and usa?
I've been having a hell of a time getting my printed codes to scan so this dropped at the perfect time, thank you. I think the issue is my printer software just sucks (canon TR8520 so other people know what to avoid lol). It doesn't even let me pick DPI of the print. Guess I will have to try it out at the library or a print shop.
I have a german game and everytime I talk to the man in the Pokecenter my game crashes. I already changed the language to german before I inject WC3. So what I'm doing wrong?
I had the same problem in Emerald and couldn't find a solution there. Then I tried it with German Ruby instead and it worked using a far easier method.
In Ruby/Sapphire, mystery event is unlocked by simply talking to the guy next to the PC in Petalburg City and saying "Geheim Geschehen Ist Jipp! Jipp!".
Then you can inject any of the ME3 files from MYSTERY EVENT 3 EVENTS/DE in imablisy's github using WC3 tool.
And that's it. The event should be unlocked.
Oh thanks very much, i posted in your discord about this recently and if that made you make the video then thank you so much
I'm having trouble getting the Mystery Event GBA file to load onto my flash cartridge.
I'm using miniSD Super Card cartridge and when I try to add the Mystery event file to it, I get a message saying "File Open Error" and it's not going in.
I‘m definitely too dumb for this, but still thank you for your work. 🙌🏼
had an idea don't if its remotely possible but is the e reader able to put a patch through to change a games language so someone could cut down on cost and buy a legit Japanese copy? i know the e reader has been used for patches before.
So I tried the flashcart method and couldn't get it to work as it didn't recognize any of the .sav files both the 64/128 versions.
I tried to reflash a spanish emerald repro cart with an Italian emerald rom with gbabf, however it keeps telling me a writing error at 0x0000, expected 0xfdf7, data address 0xffff. Do I have to convert the rom or something to fix it? I really don't know what I have to do
Hi, I am having trouble getting the events working. I injected mysteryevent and the person in the poke center takes me to a wireless communication menu. I tried using the mgba to emulate the e reader but the emerald just says wireless adapter not connected when going on mystery gift
unlocking mystery event. will the north american Eon ticket card for ruby and sapphire work on emerald?
Can you make a tutorial for virtual copy? I installed Emerald on my 3DS and want to do events.
Hey im a bliss do you know how to control multiple instances of mGBA at the same time to say shiny hunt on emerald?
Dear @imablisy
I have an Emerald copy and an everdrive but no E-Reader or printing capabilities. Would it be possible to put the E-Reader Rom onto the everdrive off the computer and scan the events onto my copy of Emerald?
This video explains how to do that
Classic case of someone not watching the full video. 🤣
I have a sort of problem I think ? whenever I try to use the Mystery Event guy on the second floor I get stuck on the dialog box that I must save for me to use Mystery Event does anyone have any info on how I can fix that ? Thanks in advance you guys!
Same issue here, did you manage to fix it?
Does your emerald rom is the english version? Those events only work on english version. I had to load my french save into a us rom to make it work and find an another e-reader us rom.
Is it possible to use 2 flash carts, download the e-reader rom onto one flash cart and transfer the event to the other flash cart??
Sadly my only physical copy of a 3rd gen game (Japanese Emerald) does not have an events on it, mystery gift isn’t even unlocked. It does have 250 hours from the prior person though.
Regarding the GBA BIOS for emulator, how does the 3DS virtual console GBA BIOS compare to the original? Would it still work, or do you need a bios from an original GBA (GBA SP or GameBoy Player)?
I think it's the original gba bios. I never considered extracting that
@@imablisyim using a 3ds emulator of sapphire but when injecting back using godmode 3ds it doesnt save and says file to big and putting the file in pkhex says its too big, this only happens when i added the events
@@kingkmtso5107 if you don’t turn off rtc data on your emulator like I said you’ve got to remove it using a hex editor
@@imablisy ahh okay, the emulator im using is a CIA file thats on my home menu if thats any use
@@imablisy also i used wc3 tool to inject your wondercard to get mystery event in emerald but the man isnt there at the pokemon centre i reloaded the area like you aid but he still wasnt there
how do i play the events into retroarch? i really want to play the events but i dont know how to. could you be willing to make a rom hack version of it or something else?
Is there anyway to do the flash cart methods with a GBA-GBA Link cable?
While I have a collection of hardware, wireless adapters have eluded me as they've never been needed
unfortunately no
@@imablisy Gosh darn it, thanks for taking the time to reply
@@K-dexYeah, a link cable would be Mystery Event, not Mystery Gift. Nothing doing without the adapter.
Unless you get into multiboot fuckery - with that you could (you likely don't know how) write code to send to your GBA with your Emerald in it to modify the save.
@@KopperNeoman So GBA link cable is R/S exclusive is what I'm getting from you?
I do have a copy of ruby laying about
Considering a wii with hbc can mess with save data, can it also set the rtc after a battery swap, similar to the berry patch, but instead set it to the time in the save?
It could if you programmed a tool to do it. But I don't think such a tool exists.
There IS, however, a utility to send homebrew multiboots to your GBA, and I'm 80% certain one of those will do what you want!
EDIT: It does. For anyone having the same issue; recheck the game overrides settings tab whenever you do this. It may reset randomly.
mGBA E-Reader method doesn't work.
It does I do it for development and did it in this video lol.
@@imablisyI initially wrote a long rant about how it doesn't actually work, but in reality it's just mGBA that resets settings except BIOS settings on every launch, for whatever god forsaken rerason.
I'm tired. Sorry for the dumb comment.
Can I have all the events on one cart or do I have to hunt them one at a time?
NIccce
Probably will never get the chance to do this, I still remember the smell of melting cartridge to this day... Oh wait my mom melted Pokemon Pearl not Emerald, ether way its long gone 😭
But i still enjoyed this video, good shit 👍🏿🔥
Edit: OKAY EMULATORS ARE GO 🔥🔥🔥
You should make a video on how to rng manip dunsparce in emerald and that dunsparce will become a 3 segment dudunsparce in gen 9
Has anyone printing the cards and had any luck with a canon ? I'm using a canon ts6350 and have matched it as close as I can to blissy down to the glossy paper. I feel like I've tried every combination and can't find much online to look from.
Can I use this to work on a cfw 3ds?
