This is absolutely incredible. As someone who was among the pioneers of the void glitch all the way back in the back in the, I've already had an itch this was possible, but we'd probably never get there. Today, a decade from when I left, I cannot express how proud this makes me feel of this incredible community. So, so many thanks to everyone involved in this project, this is indeed the Holy Grail. ACE is here, sky's the limit!
its actually insane what you guys do, i remember the time when arceus was pretty much unobtainable and the darkrai and shaymin glitch took hours to perform
From a race condition to understanding the mysteries of the infinite Voids, to executing certain scripts to full arbitrary code execution... Thank you everyone who has been involved in all of this, in any shape or form. It is truly amazing to see how far we've come!
Absolutely incredible!!!!!!! There's so much to say here, and the sky really seems like the limit now. Fantastic work both on all of the work to discover this and presenting it in such a digestible and well-explained way. I'll be watching this so many times to really wrap my head around all of this
Imagine going back in time to 2008 and posting a detailed guide on how to do this on your forum of choice, just for people to call you a troll and tell you to go back to finding mew under the truck
People knew how to catch Mew in 2008. The trainer-fly mew glitch was known about. Go back in time and tell people that surfing through that Elite Four door isn't a game-ruiner, and that void out there is gonna get wild.
33:24 Every kid's hacking fantasy of pressing random keys on something to hack it. Except it works in this case. There may be a ton of prerequisite steps and the actual keys pressed aren't actually random but I still think the comparison is cool.
Finally! Love watching all of these and great to see you succeed! (Geez, now that gen 1-4 has been broke, gen 5 is next but I kinda have doubts on that one lol)
This is fantastic! If you use this to make actual routes for pokemon like manaphy or any unubtainable pokemon i will love you forever! Thanks to you and the others who pure their minds together to achieve this!!!
This is amazing, I cant believe I'm just now seeing this, 2 to 3 years after it was uploaded. This deserves way more attentino and you all should be proud! Great job!
And here it is. So exciting! I played Pokémon Ranger on an emulator just for Manaphy and my god is it hard. I hope this can help others complete their dex
Are u going to make a video on using the step counter and void to get Manaphy just like u did with Arceus? Also, does this mean u can get infinite of any Pokémon too? Lastly, does the final step count that you make in the void correspond to the Pokédex ID number of the Pokémon, thus being able to get Manaphy? Thanks!
So now that you've achieved the holy grail of pokemon exploits and spent multiple years working towards this, Retire exploiting BDSP video out when? 😂 In all seriousness, I've been watching you and the gang breaking down how DPP tick and bending the game to your will for many years now, and I'm glad to say that I saw a piece of gaming history unfold before my eyes. Congratulations, you all deserve much praise. Now go get some sleep you absolute madman, you've earned it.
You seem to take this stuff seriously, so I was hoping you could replicate something for me. I used to mess around with the link cables for Gen 1. Basically, I'd get to the confirmation screen, turn off one game, set up a different trade with that game, get to the confirmation screen again, turn off game two again, and then facilitate a trade between games one and three. You could trade for an empty slot on another game doing this. I got a particularly strange glitch. It's hard to explain, but the game would become buggier with each step while you held this Pokemon in your party. I know Gen I is already a confirmed mess, but this was... different. I've encountered all of the normal glitch mons through Cinnabar and the Mew glitch (including the unique variants in Yellow), but this is different. Hope you get the chance to read this.
This seems absolutely amazing and groundbreaking, even though I may not understand all of it haha. The only question I have then is, what does this all mean for casual players who play on ds??
You can manipulate the games code by "going bonkers," giving you any item or pokemon you could want. However, "going bonkers" is very intricate and complicated, so you must do it right in order to get what you want
I’m not like an expert on RNG manipulation, could you show me a video on how to encounter a shiny charizard? If not, it’s alright, thought it’d be a little fun to ribbon master a shiny charizard
damn due that was crazy! I just tried and succeded the darkrai, shaymin and arceus thing yesterday, and that was probably the most fun thing in pokemon I've done in years. Hope to see more cool stuff like this and thanks from the Netherlands!
Hello. Your video is so exciting! However, there were some points that incomprehensible to me, so please allow me to ask stupid questions in poor English. You mentioned in the video that 0x16 corresponds to level 20, but isn't 16 in hexadecimal 22 in decimal? You say that retire tricks can only be done in certain places, so why was you inducted into the Hall of Fame on R202?
The level 22 is a mistake I must have missed! Also the retire trick works in any map, the specific complete controll situation only can be done in maps 333 or 332, but simple instructions like Hall of Fame (0xB0) can be done in a lot of other maps as well.
saved this to watch while soft resetting for a shiny chimchar in brilliant diamond and i’m so glad i did, what a captivating video! i’ve been following research and developments with glitches in dp for 7 or 8 years now and i can’t believe how far things have come just while i’ve been around to watch. i remember almost crying the day the method to catch arceus via the void glitch and retire trick was discovered, and look at how far things have come just since then! i can’t begin to thank you and everyone involved enough for all the time and effort and dedication you put into making this possible. seeing this come together bit by bit over the years with the discovery of the retire glitch, alt retire, ledge canceling, etc has been so exciting and simply amazing to watch. thank you again so much for your dedication, and here’s to figuring out both ASE and ACE in diamond and pearl after all these years!
NGL, HALF THE VID WAS HARD TO UNDERSTAND EVEN THO U TOOK UR TIME AND EXPLAINED in much detail (sry caps), i think ts just too technical for if i dont have such a background regardless though i have a few questions : is this only possible on the japanese game file then ? is this even humanly doable ? how long did it take the tas (i presume) shown at the end of the video ? either way this is dope and a work of much dedication y all have my uttermost respect !
It is possible with human setups, yes. I have made several and been improving them, they're now in a spot where I may make a video on how to perform it when I find time.
well dope for finding / making this whole thing happen ngl, as a kid i was stoked when i found out i could get some more pokemns and there was a dope ass glitch to use.... but this is just on a whole nother lvl xD @@RETIREglitch
Here's an idea what if you used code from another game via the gba slot in the ds for arbitrary code execution as the code exists to access old pokemon games potentially adding more glitches and interactive things to not only old pokemon games but all gba games
I would love to see you write some code to RAM and then force the game to jump to it and use the game's large amount of memory to bend the game to your will to do something awesome. I would also like to see the whole, uncut run of achieving this.
I saw a video from Trails Pokemon showing a method to obtain shiny Manaphy. Does that mean it’s possible then to obtain shinies for other mythical like Mew, Deoxys etc?
You can do anything with this. Get any Pokémon, item,, write a custom game, send data over wifi, hack GBA games in the second slot. There are no limits :)
Yes, by now ACE is possible on all versions of all gen 4 games. Although DP is used as a catalyst, platinum/hgss require ACE in DP to transfer to them.
Platinum probably won't happen (unless you use a walk through walls cheat), because they added invisible walls in the void in Platinum, not to mention all of the other glitches that are used, which where likely patched in Platinum
Alright, lets go deeper. Do ACE, where the payload code is a GB emulator and a full copy of the Pokemon Red ROM. You could probably get a GB-on-DS emulator out of Virtual Console. Then do ACE in *that* game to do whatever the heck you want.
