| Here you may ask any questions you have about hacking Diamond and Pearl. If you're having troubles with applications or just can't seem to understand something ask here! But, please remember, do not ask for ROMS or sites for emulators! |

| I need a little help. But not about hacking it, I need the link to the emulator for $GBA and the Diamond or Pearl ROM. Thanks! |
| Posted by: Hiidoran Oct 1 2007, 08:16 PM |
| I'm sorry asking for roms and emulators is against the rules here. But it's alright because you probably didn't know. Just read the rules and please don't ask again ok? |

| Are we allowed to PM each other about it though? I can give him it all by PM, if it's allowed... |
| Posted by: Esmas! Oct 2 2007, 12:16 PM |
| Yeah, I don't think it's fair because I am learning to hack, but I can't since I can't get it.... |

| Actually, I'm not quite sure that is a good idea either. Trust me, it's not my rule, It's invisionfree's. I mean, I don't want the site to get popular and then get it shut down because we are distributing illegal materials. So for now, please use E-mail. Changed: sending roms via PM is now against the rules. If you already did it, that is fine. |

| Yeah, I think it illegal, but downloading ROM's is not illegal if you own the original copy of the same game. I think sending by E-mail is more safe. |

you can't just steal another copy of the game cuz you bought one :/ it's not legal |
| Posted by: Hiidoran Oct 4 2007, 03:32 AM |
| See, now here's where I think there's room to debate. On one hand, once you buy a copy, it's yours. You may do whatever you please with it, even make a copy of it on your computer. But on the other hand, this has to infringe upon copyrights. As for myself, I'm not sure where I stand. |

| if you have the equipment to back it up, then i think it's ok, but the act of downloading it makes it illegal. |
| Posted by: DP Master Oct 4 2007, 12:19 PM |
| But the official Nintendo site states you must own the game you are downloading as a ROM if you want it to be "legal" downloading. |
| Posted by: gabe_k Oct 4 2007, 12:42 PM |
| I thought the nintendo site just said "**** YOU HACKERS AND ROM DLERS!!". anyway, i doubt everyone here has a japanese copy of d/p |
| Posted by: Hiidoran Oct 4 2007, 08:09 PM |
| I do... I actually do happen to own a Japanese Pearl version. Though it's useless now, I fried the interal clock when I did the E4 glitch. It was fun while it lasted. But DP Master is right, downloading the game is not illegal because you already own a copy. Now, if you had a bunch of flash cartriges, downloaded games to them, and sold them. Then no, that would be illegal. |

Yeah, whoever does that is a stupid pirate! I still can't find the stuff I need to play Diamond and Pearl ROMS...  |
| Posted by: gabe_k Oct 6 2007, 10:29 PM |
| have you tried no$gba? |
| Posted by: EvanMiesterX Oct 6 2007, 10:45 PM | ||
Yeah, but I can't find a place to download the Firmware and Bios... |
| Posted by: gabe_k Oct 6 2007, 11:13 PM |
| i didn't need those <.< i just dled no$gba and it played. |
| Posted by: EvanMiesterX Oct 7 2007, 01:04 AM | ||
Really? Whenever I try to use it, it says stuff like "The Data Could Not Be Read", it's really annoying. |
| Posted by: gabe_k Oct 7 2007, 01:32 AM |
| if you come on halo again i can tell u where to get the emulator i'm using. |
| Posted by: EvanMiesterX Oct 7 2007, 01:35 AM | ||
Okay, *gets ready to get on halo* |
| Posted by: gabe_k Oct 7 2007, 01:38 AM |

| Posted by: EvanMiesterX Oct 7 2007, 01:59 AM | ||
I finally got it to work! Yay, now I can finally play it! |
| Posted by: DP Master Oct 9 2007, 12:01 PM |
| Actually just go to (removed), you will find both the roms and emulators there, just search alittle bit (sorry no links ) |
| Posted by: EvanMiesterX Oct 11 2007, 07:35 PM | ||
Actually, I finally got it to work! Now I can play Pearl on the computer! |
| Posted by: Hiidoran Oct 11 2007, 08:54 PM |
| Yay! Now you can really start trying to hack it! |
| Posted by: EvanMiesterX Oct 11 2007, 11:52 PM | ||
Lol, yeah, the only problem is that right now I'm only good at mapping, and there aren't any mapping tools (that we know of) yet. So I think I'll wait a little before I really start hacking D/P big time.  |
| Posted by: Coin3 Oct 11 2007, 11:59 PM | ||||
When there is enough tools to make a good hack we should all work together on it. So the first full English D/P hack won't be just a so so hack. It is nice to know people are getting stuff to happen. |
| Posted by: Hiidoran Oct 12 2007, 01:36 AM |
| Yes, I'm very suprised at the progress thus far. When I started thinking of diamond and pearl hacking, we couldn't do anything substantial! As to your project idea, Coin, I agree. |
| Posted by: Spenceroone3 Oct 12 2007, 06:15 AM |
| Good idea. I'll be the graphics guy. If you have ever read one of my sprite tuts, or played Pokemon PinkMew, you'll see that everything to do with art is really good. I've never actually been really good at coding/scripting. |
| Posted by: Coin3 Oct 12 2007, 03:06 PM | ||
I can help you with that. Have you ever seen one of my sprites? Both custom.   Plus....do we even have to think about it right now? We have a while till hacking starts to work better for D/P. |
| Posted by: Spenceroone3 Oct 13 2007, 12:48 AM |
| Yes Coin, I think you're right. We're really trying to start to early, we're think about the hack of D/P we'll make before we even know how to hack D/P. |
| Posted by: EvanMiesterX Oct 13 2007, 04:37 PM |
| Lol, yeah, I think we're getting a little head of what we have right now, but we're definitely making progress! |
