I am working on a server that hosts the ACE wondercards for all gen 4 games, along with serving payloads from it as small or big as you want. The code will be fully open source. Not sure if I will have the ability to host this publically myself yet, but we will see how things progress.

I made shiny hunting better in all of the mainline Gen 1 games through the power of glitches! You can shiny hunt wild Pokemon! You can see a wild mon's sparkles! And you can see if a Pokemon is shiny on the summary screen! No mods or patches required :> More info: github.com/aestellic/BB...

@github.com Hi, we're running into an issue where a repository's HEAD points to an incorrect commit. Viewing the commits with the /commit endpoint shows the correct HEAD, the /tree endpoint doesn't, nor does fetching from the remote! Is this related to recent issues?

Sadly using Mail data didn't give hits for any in-game trade. But seal data allows almost full control. It does require 1 pixel-perfect seal, but I am sure we can make this work! An example to write 0xc9c88 with the in-game trade chatot. Only the bottom seal's coordinates matter.

It took me almost a year to revisit, but this might just revolutionize ASE setups. I am so close to getting rid of RNG entirely.

New glitch in DPPt, interacting with honey trees outside intended maps causes the game to return MAX_HONEY_TREE as the index of the tree, causing it to read/write from PokeRadar chain data. Sadly the timer of the honey tree is the Radar Chain count, which can never reach 0...

I made the custom sprites for this! Huge thanks to RETIRE for being able to put all this together, here’s a picture of when I was actively working on the sprites too :D

It's that time of the year again. I have cooked something special for @gamesdonequick.com :)

Found a 1 in 262.144 chance to exist setup that allows us to get wild encounters while having the Pal Park menu AND on the bike. My goal is to use this to load battle data to read for the new speedrun ACE setup, this would save 10 minutes and be faster than the current TAS ACE setup too.

The rule of releasing a setup is that you obsolete it within 3 hours of its creation right? Pretty sure I can create a setup taking less than 90 minutes from a fresh save. Aka, Speedrun + 40 minutes or so, based on the TAS setup with this new Item bootstrap.

Gotta probably run the brute forcers for pearl details, but here's the new setup. www.craft.me/s/330jTbOzhF...

Trying to get keystone's NodeJS bindings to function with a non-ancient, undocumented and deprecated version. Anyone have alternatives for JavaScript ARM (vt5/thumb) assemblers?

New setup... 100% chance of working from a fresh save file. 1.5 hours saved over the previous setup. Also made it so the bootstrap installs Mystery Gift ACE immediately.

Creating an ASE setup cutting out ~3 hours of setup time. Instead of using jumps, it spawns a new script process with a custom event index with item data. It then reads encrypted pokemon data as the script offset. This data is manipulated through brute forcing modifications to in-game trades.

My cat is residing in the animal clinic right now because his bladder couldn't be emptied due to struvite stones build-up, causing his kidney to start failing. He's doing better today after they emptied his bladder and put him on IV fluids to stabilize him. With the correct food he should be fine.
