load rom errcode=-4

Jhon 591,

Editing extinfo.dat and infolib.dat in the TTMENU folder got nothing to do with patching it with Arm 7 or Arm 9. Its a different thing altogether. You got it all mixed up. Editing extinfo and infolib uses a program name TTDT.EXE, while Arm 7 or 9 uses a program name DSLazy and DS-X Manager.

I've already posted the method on how to edit extinfo and infolib several days ago. In fact I saw you posting 3 posts above my post in another topic forum page 1 and another post by you on page 2. Obviously you don't bother reading other people's posting unless its a respond to your questions. I'm not going to write down all the step again. You'll have to look up for the from the link below:

Here's the direct link to that posting: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=48127.0 its at the bottom of that page 1. Read it properly and always make back up before you mess around with your files.

The links to get the programs you need to mess around with those dat files is in page 2 of the same forum topic, the direct link: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=48127.25

Be careful when doing the editing on extinfo and infolib. Always choose SAVE when you want to keep the changes, don't press SAVE AS cause it will make your .DAT become ZERO KB or unreadable. Keep a duplicate at all time. And use CAPITAL only on the first 4 GAME ID while the 8 HEX Digit for the GAME ID uses small letters not capitals. Eg. B3RE 921e4df5. Got it? Cross fingers at all time when editting. Good Luck!

 

That error could be cause by several things:
1. The game rom is in encrypted mode, so you need to decypt it using eNDcryptS.EXE
2. You have not tick the RESET box in your touch screen after entering YSMENU/TTMENU under the name of the rom you plan to play
3. You need to edit the extinfo and infolib for 2 reasons;
a. the infolib and extinfo not yet contain the GAME ID to play the game you want to load
b. the infolib and extinfo contain the same first 4 digit GAME ID but not the same 8 HEX digit behind the GAME ID.

** No. 3.b problem can be caused due to patching with xDelta patcher.

NOTE: When using TTDT.EXE, eNDcryptS.EXE, if you are using Windows Vista, Win7, or MAC, run it in ADMIN MODE!

You can choose to follow Maxieaquadragon's 24 steps or my 18 steps. Its not difficult once you understand how. Just need to be extremely careful and stick with SAVE never press SAVE AS. If you know the GAME ID using R4CCE and confident your rom is in decypted mode, all you need to do is edit the extinfo and infolib using TTDT.EXE. Isn't too difficult so long you are also sure the GAME ID you got is from an encypted game cause if its from a decrypted one it won't run. Encrypted GAME ID = REAL GAME ID ;

 

OooOh! Didn't know about you being ex-GBATemp member. Well anyway, I haven't a clue about HEX editing. Didn't major in computer programming though I read a bit about programming in my spare time. Good luck in whatever you are planning to do with it.

Frankly I'm curious about what program they (KazoWar) uses to extract the text file and then build it back into the pokemon rom. Saw on Youtube some people did it with HEX. After watching the tutorial in Youtube, I just get more confused. Though I understand each hexdecimal correspond to a certain ASCII symbol/alphabet/digit, etc. I just wish I know what program software they use to do the tricks.

I guess your level is way above most of us in Romulation, cause I know most GBATemp members are pro-rom modifiers. You must be in the same boat as Raqib12 who moved to Romulation and changes his username to Rykin122. Hats off to you guys. Cheers!

 

Oh! Ok. I look forward then to your future contribution for us all once your suspension in lifted. Maybe help KazoWar to speed up with his translating progress? Or start a similar project to translate, say.....a Dragon Quest 6 if I may request/suggest? I've been waiting for an English version or someone to do a translation of it. But its been like a year or more, and still nothing. I'm beginning to think no one will ever translate it or the DQ creators won't release a US version at all. SOB!

Heck....DQ9 alone took almost over a year. Or maybe you can help make a tutorial for us non programmers on how to start do our own translation project along with what programs we need. Would be extremely cool if someone like you could teach us that. Anyway, was very nice talking with you.

 

I've made an account in GBAtemp and copy paste the text you want to add to GBAtemp on that forum link. Its under the same username I'm using here. Cheers!

 

I'll add his name next to your name. You will see it there after I edit it in a few minutes.

Edit: DONE!

 

Sorry, I don't have an R4i, only an R4DS Original. If you're using TTMENU/YSMENU, you can try locate my editted version of infolib and extinfo for PKM B/W & PKM RGS in Klaimore's topic on PKM Ranger Guardian Signs. If you're using Wood RPG/WAIO/Woodldi, cause apparently you can't use Wood R4 as you're using R4i, you need to look up Coolkill3r's topic on that.

 

Are you using Wood/WAIO?

Well, just this once I'll help cause apparently he closed down his original forum page and moved it into another site. So here: http://ndsinfo.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,7.0

Since you're using R4i so you need to use WAIO from his page. You need to change the SETTING inside the START option at the bottom of the touch screen. Find the RESET option inside SETTING and change it to OFF for you to play PKM B/W. To use Wood/WAIO to play PKM RGS you need to patch it with the xDelta patcher not the Open Patcher.

Or maybe you want to try a modified version of YSMENU from VividBoy H2Y cause his modified version is not limited for R4DS Original only, I've help and found that N5, R4 SDHC, and several other cart users able to run this:
Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?9hbhz0cl3l88wnj

Change the Extinfo.DAT and Infolib.DAT in the TTMENU folder of VividBoy H2Y's YSMENU with the one I made. The link : http://www.mediafire.com/?v8zxzv8t480z8ab

Read the READ ME.txt inside to learn how to run the PKM B/W and PKM RGS on YSMENU. And patch the PKM RGS with Open Patcher not xDelta patcher. Good Luck!
