This rom is a test to see if I could successfully combine all female characters currently available in our POR hacks into one hack. I actually want to replace Jonathan with Shanoa if at all possible. This is in WIP because you can see my poor incomplete attempt at swapping Loretta with Fake Sypha from SOTN. And as of now this is based on the POR Simon hack due to not having a suitable replacement for Jonathan. I would also like to combine it with the POR Improvement hack because of the extra enemies. But I have yet to find a program that will let me patch improved version to this rom. Screenshots soon. CVPORGPT

If it is a ARMIPS patch you can patch it within DSvania Editor.

ARMIPS is a assembly patcher. Not like IPS, BPS or xdelta where you patch the bytes without knowing what it does. ARMIPS will compile the code (where you lable the offset to patch) and patch the section in the ROM. It can also use other assembler resources to make the code more readable. You write the code in a text editor of choice. But you need to know how to write code for the platform. The patcher does not compile C so you need to learn the assembly for GBA or DS. Here a page with some info about the DS: patater.com/files/projects/manual/manual.htmlI really don't know anything about DS so I can not guide you what to learn. But it will be about the usual. Find a debugger where you can set breakpoints and step code. There you can see step by step what it does. A debugger should show you assembly so it might be a good way to learn some. DSvania comes with a lot of patches you can use as a example. May be it would be better to make a small home-brew-project to get ahead with learning faster. A other way is searching for small things you like to change. Like copy a value for something you did find in RAM. Make a new pointer to empty space for some data you need more space. Like music tracker or sprite assembly data. There are some ways to go about and keep yourself engaged to learn. It will also take some time to learn the platform. How is the ROM mapped to the CPU bus. How do things play together and so on...

CVPORGPTStarwyvern this needs quite a bit of fixing and yes I know it's only a test but when playing Charlotte Maria's walking animations are in the wrong direction as well as the attack animation for her also you can't see Sonia Belmont most of the time and she look like a corrupted part of game as because of the color she is also when she's attacking or walking you really don't get to see her that much you hardly get to see her any

Started working on trying to figure it out today. Though I am not sure what went worng... All I did was export one female character for each character slot from various POR hacks, then Import them into the same rom... I don't know how they ended up that way...

I haven't checked out the mod but if you are using my Maria mod in this I made a real mess of Charlotte sprite while making it so that may be part of the problem.

Once I have a chance to edit her a bit I will try again. I also have to fix Sonia.

Haven't had much time on the PC but am still working with what little I do have. I started replacing Jonathan with Shanoa. I only had 10 mins to work on it though so I only finished the first frame.

I can provide you with the sheets and darkfunction I made for Serio's Sonia over Julius if you want. You'd have to re do the animations to work for whoever you import her over...it's probably better to make whole new sheets with her replacement in mind. The ones I have take up all 10 of julius's pages. The animations are all centered though, and her colors should be close to perfect. She also has a whip I made for her that is tied to her animations.
