Thank you so much for the putting together the resources and instructions to do this! I've got an almost fully custom DMC v2 now! Stoked to get started!

Managed to flash my device into english thanks to your guide thank you.

Small world. This mod dev is the guy who made some of my favorite flipper apps.

just ordered the tool found out the SPI of how it connects so excited the English mod I was going to do so that makes me ecstatic as hell I'm ready to do my custom seedram online so I can't believe it English already this is the best thing ever

what?

Oh man thank you! Been looking for this

to change sprites and add a custom roster it would just be replacing the existing png fils in the "sprites" folder you created with new png files, just like the english sprites replacing the japanese sprites, right? and same with backgrounds, or any of the pngs really? what's the max resolution they can be? Thank you so much for this video, it bridged that last gap of understanding to do this to mine when it comes!

thanks for the sharing! been looking for this 😃

awesome work!!

So to anyone reading. There are new updated tools launched and this should work for V1, V2, V3, V4 and V5. I just finished doing my very first digimon Color device V5 and its now fully in English!! Loving it. Hardest thing was getting the correct driver for the USB device. After that was sorted it was plain sailing. You must modify the file names of the replacement english sprites as each divice can have a different number or order.

Thank you for your work! Everything tested and it's perfect! You've some dmon sprites repo that you can share?

This is really neat.

hey zach! are you able to show a video on how i could import and export the sounds! will greatly appreciate it!

How to hold down the reset button? Is there a way to reconnect my screen it slip awaym

Does anyone know where I can find custom or alternative sprites to change on my device? I wish to create my own roster but with some of the digimon not on the Color initially.

Thanks for you vidéo ! I ordered thé programmer and my DMC thanks to you... There is many parts on the programmer, it easily to assemble ? I would like to put the English mod and then put some different sprites

Would it be possible to change evo requirements? I would like to have the original evo times back.

hello. The video you posted helped me a lot. Thank you very much. Have you tried dual booting of DMC? If you know anything about this, could I get some advice from you?

With this can I add all the content from the other DMC's and have a single ultra DMC? Like the pen 20th?

If i want to change the digimon design , i just need to change to picture only right? The remain I just follow the exact same as the video right?

Once I've created the new dump with the english sprites, can I reuse it for other vpets to save time?

Anyone have back up original v2 dump file? I messed up, cannot reboot...

The vpet should be complete off or on when i connect it to the computer?

hello what software do you use to extract the .bin?

can you make a different Mon color variant too by modding it's sprite ? 🤔

@Rurounik99

Жыл бұрын

Yes, you can.

Hey Zach, if i mess up when writing the bin to the DMC ROM, will it brick the ROM?

Can you transfer all the eggs from the other versions to just one?

I bought the device you're using to connect it to the computer off amazon. But It came in pieces, how do you assemble it correctly.

oh dang , i had no idea this was an option ! ordered a v1 at the latest re-release. this will come in handy, ordered the programmer :) any soldering needed btw ?

Well done! Very interesting. I want to change out all the digimon sprites with custom sprites. Anyone have an estimate on how many of the 597 stored I would need to rework?

Wow, if you can modify the firmware like this, who's to say we can't write Digimon X or 20th Anniversary rom to it?

Try to connect the digimon first, that's what I did. I think that the tool doesn't have a GUI, it just runs from the command line, so you don't actually see what's happening, only the outputs.

What size should the digimon images be?

I'm planning on releasing a video of my modded DM Color, any chance you'd be okay with me linking over to this video as an example of one of the places I used to help me figure it out? I wasn't sure how okay it was to share this sort of information out and didn't want to rub anyone the wrong way!

Trying to do this with my V3 but keep getting (Unhandled exception: System.ArgumentException: Image size is incorrect.) Is there any solution to this issue? I'm not quite sure what it means.
