CSDGN Tale of the Lazy Programmer.

It works, it loads saves, it saves saves and does all that needed checksumming.

Works with:

• Pokemon Diamond
• Pokemon Pearl
• Pokemon Platinum
• Pokemon Heart Gold
• Pokemon Soul Silver

Remember to DLDI it for your cart if it doesn’t automatically.

Works on:

• CycloDS Evolution (before v1.55 root only)
• Acekard 2i AKAIO
• EZ-Flash V (root only)
• Most R4 clones (root only)

Does not work on:

• Most slot 2 carts. ( sorry -.-;; )

Currently it does:

• Edits trainer data
  • Trainer Name
  • Rival Name
  • TID
  • SID
  • Gender
  • Money
  • Badges

• Edits Box & Party Pokemon
  • Move pokemon around boxes
  • Delete pokemon
  • Clone pokemon
  • Edits Pokemon Name
  • Edits Pokemon IV & EVs
  • Edits Pokemon Moveset (autosets PP)
  • Edits Pokemon Ability
  • Edits Pokemon Species
  • Edits Pokemon EXP/Level
  • Edits Pokemon Item
  • Edits Pokemon Trainer Data (name,tid,sid,gender)

If it fails to work the root directory is always a good place to try.
If it doesn’t run directly from your flashcart, try using the HomebrewMenu to launch it.

F.A.Q:

Q: Why make Pokesav for the DS?
A: Why not? Well okay, the real answer is that I personally wanted one, and so if I wanted one maybe other people want one too, so why not share?

Q: Will you be able to edit saves on the original cartridges?
A: No, unfortunately not. The biggest reason is that the DS does not have enough memory to support the entirety of the program in RAM alone. Another is that the internal editing system is not setup to work in that fashion. The final is, I really do not want to try and replace great things like the Nds Backup tool, where my method may be buggy etc etc.

Q: Can you make a save editor for Game XYZ?
A: Probably not, unless I wanted to, I get no other reward out of making an editor then for my own use. Plus all the research that is required, Pokemon has a lot of research already done and publicly available. Most games do not.

Q: So your not very ‘skilled’ then if you cannot do the research?
A: I like to think that I am skilled and I DO do research, it just happens that I have to do substantially less since there is already research done. I like to think that I am not so much unskilled as I am lazy.

Q: So what languages do you know? (okay so not a FAQ)
A: Well normal languages I know English and some Japanese. Computer languages I happen to be able to read, understand, and write ASM(RAW)(x86, ARM, Thumb), C++, C, Java, BASIC(omg), Brainfuck, PHP, Perl, Lua, Python, Pascal, Fortran, and more… I mainly only work with C++,C, Java, and ASM however. But Brainfuck has a special place in my heart.
