Pokemon Red VC patches
Pokemon R/B/Y was released on the 3DS virtual console. The roms are the same as the originals, but some patches are applied, mainly wireless, pikachu's voice, and graphics to make flashing attack animations less harsh. No glitches have been patched afaik, i got my level 100 nidoking.
My main point here today is that there is still not a lot documented about the patches, and for some reason, injecting a gameboy color game seems to blank out palletes 4 and 5 to a white color (this still happens even without the patches).
Here is the patch file, I figured the dissasembly would help

Re: Pokemon Red VC patches
What about Yellow? That one has a few more interesting changes (especially Jynx's sprite having a 5th color in its palette.)

That's just a good use of the black and white that every sprite uses, see http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/ … 29#Sprites

Re: Pokemon Red VC patches
I'm not sure I understand. The Yellow VC sprite has black, purple, red, yellow and white.

Re: Pokemon Red VC patches
Because the top rows of the sprite load one palette (which uses purple instead of black) and the bottom rows load a second palette, which uses black as it normally would.

Ahh, gotcha; thanks for the clarification. Didn't know that was possible.

Re: Pokemon Red VC patches
Originally, it was setup to only load one palette per sprite, but clearly they decided to rework that a little for the VC release. So it's possible, but you're right in thinking that wasn't how it originally worked.

Re: Pokemon Red VC patches
Upon further inspection, the patches have nothing to do with palettes 5 and 6 blanking out. I was also able to confirm that only colors 2-4 of palettes 5 and 6 get overwritten with 0xFFFF.
This leads me to think the code responsible for that is in the emulator. It seems to update, because leaving the palette index as 1 (FF68=1) in the color hack after palettes are updated, palettes 5 and 6 in the VC flicker white when moving
This isn't easy to say, but…

Re: Pokemon Red VC patches
Originally, it was setup to only load one palette per sprite, but clearly they decided to rework that a little for the VC release. So it's possible, but you're right in thinking that wasn't how it originally worked.
I suspect a certain controversy had something to do with it...

Re: Pokemon Red VC patches
Oh, this is interesting! I've bought Green for my 3DS and was wondering what kind of changes they'd made. I have a gameboy cartridge of it too, but I'm not overly familiar with the games so I wouldn't notice any differences.
(Off-topic but I'm REALLY disappointed that the games aren't in color in the 3DS' emulator!!)

Re: Pokemon Red VC patches
Anybody knows how the RNG is handled in link battles on the vc? The "fight_ret" patch completely breaks the original prng functionality.
