THIS IS AMAZING! The last couple of months I started some mod projects including my GameCube (picoboot install with swiss) and my GBA (IPS mod). I mostly wanted to check out the GameCube Pokemon games I never got to experience, that are also priced insanely high second hand. After getting it all setup, I played though Colosseum first and then XD. This got me on the kick of wanting to complete the 3rd Gen Pokedex. Turns out this is way harder than it needs to be. I then started a new save through my old English Fire Red to start cracking down on the OG 151...but I needed Leaf Green to get the rest. Checked eBay for the English version and noped out because of the prices, so I bought a $20 Japanese version. I thought this would be an interesting change up anyway, considering I've played Gen 1 countless times. Soo I speed run through my Japanese Leaf Green and then can't even get the National Dex because I have ~30 Pokemon and you need 60. I thought, oh well, this is a good time to try Pokemon Box. It Doesn't work. Then I research....duh I need to finish the Sevi Islands and I'll just have to finish getting the 60 on my own in game. Did that, and it still didn't work. Well....I'll try the Japanese version of Pokemon box....even though this won't help me in the long run. This leads to me to discover that Japanese GameCube memory cards are different and I also need a block 59 card. But, I have swiss so I'll just emulate the card. Then I run into the issue that swiss's MC emulation for whatever reason does not want to work with Japanese Pokemon Box. UGH So I start researching Pokemon Box and stumble on your video uploaded 1 day ago! THANK YOU! This is a good solution For anyone thinking I could just use a link cable to trade from my GC player to my GBA, yes this could work, because the GBA games are not region locked, but like you mentioned in the video this is very slow, and my old Crusty GBA link cable from my child hood refuses to work even after my attempts to repair it. Originally I didn't worry about it because I could trade with the GC/GBA cable with Colosseum and XD, but this won't work for my Japanese version. I do have a link cable on the way now though. Eventually I would like them to all be in Pokemon Box so I can transfer everything to my US Ruby/Emerald versions. Also, yes, PKHex is an option, but I try not to use hacking tools to get the best streamlined experience. The whole point of modding the GameCube, buying a GBA to GC adapter, Gameboy player, and all the other random accessories was to get a mostly legit experience. Emulators are great also but there is a fun factor that is lost. You could argue all this region locking and gatekeeping were part of the original experience, but fuck that lol. 3rd Gen is crazy

What a fantastic video! I had no idea Pokémon Box even existed until now, but I'm immensely impressed by how you managed to improve it! Your work in researching and patching these games is endlessly commendable, and I'm very sure it's very useful for anyone using this service. Terrific work as always, Matt!
I wonder how AbsolBlogsPokemon "fixed" Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire.

This is amazing! You've made Box so much better with these modifications
thank you finding methods to preserve this! i know tools like pkhex and such make it easier but i love doing the pure way of using games like stadium 2, my pokemon ranch, they all have unique features that deserve to be remembered and salvaged! as a kid it was always cool to see hardware interact in neat ways so having more ways to store pokemon is always welcome. can't wait for the platinum update for ranch! it will come someday!
Just F'n Amazing!!!! Thanks so much for all your uploads, man! Brings a little joy to my life every time you post a new video! Keep up the great work, man!
Great stuff. Huge upgrade! With a few more tweaks this could become the straight up definitive version of box.

Its people like you who give me hope that i will be able to play my older pokemon games in a way that i enjoy long into the future. Thanks to people using their own time and skill for passion projects like this. With the e-shop closure just around the corner this makes me optimistic 💕👏
Epic. The fact that you cared to fix this is very commendable, I am impressed. I can’t think of a better way to spend a weekend lol. Good work Matt!
Always cool to see new workarounds and software being made for these older games, i'm definitely gonna look into patching my copy of Box.
Incredible work Absol, can’t wait for part 2 to see what other changes are in store!
This is absolutely incredible and a total game changer!! I will be using this SO much thank you so so so so so soooo much from the bottom of my heart for your hard work. I didn't even think this could be possible!
I use my modded GameCube and use box ALOT, this is AMAZING!!! There’s so many new ways to start a new playthrough and this has so many uses, thank you so much absol! 😎
I love how dedicated people like you are to helping fellow pokemon fans. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
love these videos! its so cool seeing people fixing these older pokemon games is just so great and pretty cool for game preservation
Your programming skills impress me! Love how passionate and dedicated you are=)
Thank you! I'm using the universal version in my gen 3 completion run.. you saved me a lot of time and for that I'm grateful! And no worries I make regular backups so I won't come here crying if something goes wrong.. all the best!
I was just finishing watching the Scarlet movie after I put it on hold for a month (as I hadn't beat Scarlet yet and finally have done so today), and this appears!
In the recent time, I don't think I've ever clicked so fast on your video. Amazing work Matt, I’m very impressed and proud and thankful of your dedication and commitment to the project and the community, thank you for what you do! ❤🎉👌
its thanks to people like you that i feel like those of us who enjoy replaying dont feel afraid of getting attached to our pokemon

It's because I myself am too attached to my Pokemon! I remember spending a whole day as a kid trading everything off my Ruby version so I could restart the file
I had no idea pokemon box existed until now your videos always make my day :D awesome video as always matt
Excellent job making the ultimate Pokémon Box. While there are shortcomings this is still amazing.
That was the quickest sub ever. You're awesome for this!
Thank you Absol, not only have you made Rumble better you saved so many people thousands of dollars and hours. You are truly a legend 🙏
This is seriously so impressive. You've done a service to this game, thanks absol!!
Dude that's awesome, I have a soft spot for Pokémon Box for how much time I spent organizing my Pokémon as a kid across cartridges. Had no idea you were into programming, but will definitely use this patch at some point in the future, I have a lot of Japanese Gen 3 cartridges lying around but my copy of Box is PAL.

Thanks! I'm not too much of a hobbyist programmer, but it is what I do for a living lol
You are amazing, can't thank you enough for this, I'm eternally grateful for the work of modders that make old stuff usable in the current day, now I can store some Pokemon without having to beat the entire game first!!
You have a talent for sure, but more importantly than that, passion for decided to work on a project lik this when most others wouldn't even look in the direction of Pokemon Box.
This is AWESOME. This level of dedication to something that 99% of platyers would overlook is what sets you apart from other content creators. I love this channel, unfortunately I am not able to find original versions of any GBA or DS game here in spain but I still love watching your content.
Bro this guy may be the coolest KZreadr to exist, I seriously love this guy
This is awesome. I love the dedication to fixing this and rumble. The community is lucky to have you out here working on these projects. Also, those seem to be some curious Pokémon you're showing off at the end there. They seem like shinies one might find during the course of an upcoming video or something 🤔
Great stuff! Thanks for that work, will come in handy for the surfing Pichu hunt eventually!
Bro that is pretty sick. I would love to see more stuff like this from you.
THIS IS AMAZING! The last couple of months I started some mod projects including my GameCube (picoboot install with swiss) and my GBA (IPS mod). I mostly wanted to check out the GameCube Pokemon games I never got to experience, that are also priced insanely high second hand. After getting it all setup, I played though Colosseum first and then XD. This got me on the kick of wanting to complete the 3rd Gen Pokedex. Turns out this is way harder than it needs to be. I then started a new save through my old English Fire Red to start cracking down on the OG 151...but I needed Leaf Green to get the rest. Checked eBay for the English version and noped out because of the prices, so I bought a $20 Japanese version. I thought this would be an interesting change up anyway, considering I've played Gen 1 countless times. Soo I speed run through my Japanese Leaf Green and then can't even get the National Dex because I have ~30 Pokemon and you need 60. I thought, oh well, this is a good time to try Pokemon Box. It Doesn't work. Then I research....duh I need to finish the Sevi Islands and I'll just have to finish getting the 60 on my own in game. Did that, and it still didn't work. Well....I'll try the Japanese version of Pokemon box....even though this won't help me in the long run. This leads to me to discover that Japanese GameCube memory cards are different and I also need a block 59 card. But, I have swiss so I'll just emulate the card. Then I run into the issue that swiss's MC emulation for whatever reason does not want to work with Japanese Pokemon Box. UGH So I start researching Pokemon Box and stumble on your video uploaded 1 day ago! THANK YOU! This is a good solution For anyone thinking I could just use a link cable to trade from my GC player to my GBA, yes this could work, because the GBA games are not region locked, but like you mentioned in the video this is very slow, and my old Crusty GBA link cable from my child hood refuses to work even after my attempts to repair it. Originally I didn't worry about it because I could trade with the GC/GBA cable with Colosseum and XD, but this won't work for my Japanese version. I do have a link cable on the way now though. Eventually I would like them to all be in Pokemon Box so I can transfer everything to my US Ruby/Emerald versions. Also, yes, PKHex is an option, but I try not to use hacking tools to get the best streamlined experience. The whole point of modding the GameCube, buying a GBA to GC adapter, Gameboy player, and all the other random accessories was to get a mostly legit experience. Emulators are great also but there is a fun factor that is lost. You could argue all this region locking and gatekeeping were part of the original experience, but fuck that lol. 3rd Gen is crazy
I had no idea Pokemon Box had all these issues, but I'm glad you where able to fix them!
Another banger absol video I hope it never ends
(nodding my head throughout the entire code part as if i understood it) great video as always
Bro Matt, no joke I just started a huge play though of all gen 3 games including the GC games. This box patch is about to change everything.
That's fascinating. I sadly never got to own Pokemon Box because... sweet mercy it was expensive. No one I knew owned it and I am convinced it never reached my neck of the woods. Glad to see more things covered about this game. Didn't even know about those restrictions, at least now most of the heavy lifting has been done for those who have modified their consoles to be able to work around some language barriers and these ridiculous requirements.

in NA it was only ever sold in NYC to my knowledge, so if you didn't go to the Pokemon Center in NYC in the early 00s you've got no option (we love when companies force you to resort to piracy because they literally don't offer the goods or services you want to pay for)
Pro grammer Matt to the rescue! Good to know my Italian Leaf Green version is in good hands in the off chance I need to connect it to a Pokemon Box that I don't own (yet 👀)
absolutely love this under-the-hood stuff. reminds me of the Rumble weekend edition video. technology has come a long way
He cooked and he served. Well done Absol this is a key piece of software that will assist me in my journey of 100%ing gen 3 :).
"Pro grammer" my humor is so broken, I was laughing for a while with this one
This is so cool! I've never done any moding to a console before, but once I obtain a copy of pokemon box I just might have to try it.
I have a physical US Pokemon box, and I have been putting off going for the Special Eggs because of the cumbersome requirements. This changes everything, thanks!
Honestly thank you so much for making the different language games compatible. As someone who has all 5 games in all 6 languages, it's a big relief to not have to do all that trading lol
LOVE these types of videos!
Thank you so very much for everything that you have done for this community. Not only in the past, but even with just this single patch. Much respect to you! Also, any thoughts of making this open source by chance? I would love to actually give this a deeper look in my free time to perhaps learn from. Thank you again regardless for making this!
Mad respect. This is super cool and would probably look dope on your resume
I love how you can make a video about some Pokémon thing I have no idea about and make me extremely invested in it
Great job Absol and keep up the amazing work and I got Pokémon box from a friend when he moved he didn’t want some of his GameCube games
You're the best dude. You always go the extra mile for the community
New Absol lore just dropped. Apparently he is hacker man on the weekends!
Happy to have someone like you in the Pokémon community, would love to nickname my eventual extreemspeed zigzagoon after you
Of course this patch comes out AFTER i finish all of my work with my gen 3 living dex. That 100 dex minimum was so annoying. Plus all of the other limitations. So glad to find this video and this patch. Thank you
as someone fairly new at coding, this was a very informative and still super interesting. absol does it again!
This is really cool in general! You just made R&S Box up to date!
Literally the exact video I was looking for! Thank you!
I see Absol video I click Absol video No but srsly I'm so hyped for this
Loved the video! You are really charismatic and this was an interesting topic
This is amazing! I literally replaced the batteries in my gen 3 games yesterday and was going to put box on my gc useing swiss.
this is very cool to see! i hope you continue to do more things like this
Amazing work, Matt!
This is awesome! If you ever want to take on a similar project, i imagine doing this to bring english platinum compatibility to pokemon ranch would be really neat! Great stuff!
really cool video, love code related stuff in your videos, fun to learn
I love videos like these, keep up the great work!
Matt you're one of my favorite creators, this is so sick
you pokemon guys are crazy and i love it. thanks for doing all this heavy lifting and sharing it with us!
Man this is so cool, I wish I could do stuff like that! I actually own the Pokemon Colosseum bundle version of Pokemon Box and didn't even know it was also sold as a separate "game" lol
talk about timing, I JUST snagged a copy of pokemon box myself (JPN), and was just going to trade my US Emerald pokemon to a copy of JP Emerald to transfer them. You’re a godsend for this patch dude
I love your banpresto mother figures. Just finished my set around Christmas!
You weren't kidding about the flags being simple lol.
I’ve always wanted something like this! Now I can use my Japanese Pokémon Box instead of spending thousands of dollars for an American copy. Would love to see an update video too if you figure out the issues at the end of the video.
Love your vids always great when you upload
I love you so much, I just bought a setup for shinyhunting and this will help me a lot
matt. i am loving these programming videos, they are very interesting :)
matt you are not only a PRO GAMER but also a PRO GRAMMER
This is awesome! I have been wanting something like for a while.
This is amazing, it’s a shame I already completed my gen 3 living dex without is :( I’d love to see this done with Pokémon ranch
This is awesome. I look forward to using it.
always nice to see a pro grammer use their dark powers for good
Woo! New Absol video :D As someone who is starting to learn to program, i really liked this video! 57!
This is so cool! I’ll probably pick up a copy of box now!!! Thanks Matt!!!

How fascinating, especially the bit about Box being able to play RS on a tv without the Gameboy player and the fact it uses an emulator and rom to do so.
You are the magician friend I wish I had, dude. LOL "just fixed this big thing for all of you. was only a little weekend project." I love you omg
