Is it possible to use an nds rom and a custom cartridge to trick the system into thinking I have a real copy of a game?

[BigSillyOrangeCat]

I’ve been playing Pokémon Platinum on TwiLight Menu++ for a bit, and I wanted to be able to move the Pokémon I have on there to Pokémon Bank. I was wondering if it was possible to construct a physical copy of the game.

No way to do what you ask.

The easiest way to do what you want would probably be to get your save, load it up into a Platinum Pokemon save editor, and then manually recreate your Pokemon in a save editor for X/Y/ORAS/SuMo/USUM, following the stats from the Platinum save.

ok, could you recommend a platinum save editor?

Wasn't there a DS flash card that had a special memory space you could load a rom into that made the card into essentially a single game repro? One of the EZ-Flash models, I think. No idea how hard those are to find these days, though.

You should be able to use TWLSaveTool to just inject the save file from the ROM into the game itself

You chose a very odd subject line considering the nature of your problem.

You realize Pokemon Bank only works with B/W/B2/W2, right? Specifically, you need the Pokemon Transporter app, which you would have needed to download before the eShop closed – but installing it from a .cia probably works too.

Pokemon Transporter can be directed to use save data on the SD card (instead of a physical cartridge) using the Redirect Patch.

There's very little point to using that anymore since Checkpoint handles DS save data as well.

There are pkm files on projectpokemon you can use from gen 4 pkm files that was transferred to gen 5 if you want to use poke transporter.

Since you don't have hard copy gen 5 game just inject the pkm files into 3ds pokemon games via pkhex.

I assume you're using a 3ds since you mention bank and it's modded as you mention TWLMenu, in which case you can download PKSM on your 3DS which is a Gen 1-7 Editor (It supports TWL saves) and allows for transferring between gens via it's own bank system. You can use that to move your 'mons to a Gen 6/7 game and move them in to bank from there.

It does? Does it just not handle DS games that have been injected in to a CIA file format then? Checkpoint never seems to see my injected DS games.

There is no need for Checkpoint to handle those, since that save data is stored unencrypted on the SD card already.

(And to be sure, TWLSaveTool isn't going to do anything with that data either.)

I didn't bother linking to it as I assumed you were capable of taking ten seconds to Google for it.

touche.

 

[Something whatever]

pkhex is way easier and can back up your pokemon without needing Pokemon Bank/Home
