This is malware
Even shadowdrops should include more information than a screenshot and a download link, Anon.
>>59307994>12.6kyeah not clicking that. no game is that small.
From the readme:>>## Building on Windows>>You need some 32 bit version of MS Office (2003 is recommended, but newer versions have also worked) in order for >>ExcelSeetConverter to work.Whoever downloads this deserves to be hacked.
>>59308082The source archive file is 1.1 gigs.I'm not sure what the archive.org page is listing for the file size, though. None of the individual files are 12.6k. The torrent file is 26.1k.Maybe the torrent file is a different size when actually downloaded? (I am not finding out)
>>59307994make a thread when there's nude dawn mods
>>59307994What's the difference between this and playing it on my old r4?
>>59308136All the viruses your PC will be infected with.
>>59308143Just use a fucking AV you dumbo
>>59307994out a bit earlier than expected if this is what i think it is
>>59308188Real chads embrace the viruses.
>>59308092it's because for some incomprehensible reason gamefreak's build system uses fucking excel sheets making it require ancient office
>>59308216You mean real jeets and browns :)
Any try it yetI'm too pussy
>>59308188AVs are a safety precautionary measure, not the end-all solution for every type of malware. You still need to apply common sense.
>>59308261Don't. If it ends up being the real deal, you'll hear word of it.
>>59308261>>59308274it's legit, been watching its development for a long time
>>59308265If I had common sense I wouldn't be posting in 4chan.
>>59308136Absolutely none. I don't know why retards get excited for "pc ports" when they are boring as fuck. Wait until there is a million of mods, which is the only reason why anybody would want this.
>>59308217Game Freak is so incompetent that I can actually believe they did something this ridiculous.
>>59308130already exists for the normal game, just stick those files in this version lmao
>>59307994This looks nice and all, but I can already render Platinum at super high resolution on MelonDSGood luck with modding, I guess
>>59308217>>59308308I remember hearing in Souls circles that FromSoft also uses Excel for data in their gamesprobably another Japanese dev quirk
So is there literally any benefit to this?
>>59307994It'll be interesting if/when someone mods the hell out of it to be native wide+ultra wide and just work on one screen. Right now, it's just like playing on MelonDS.No real benefit on using the PC port
>>59308092>ExcelSeetConverterthe fuck
>>59308553yes people don't need to romhack any more or reverse engineer anything, they can just write code directly.
>>59308553You know how you usually need to obey a shitload of rules regarding what you can and can't do with the game script or 3D assets?Yeah.
>>59308553Like most ports, a huge drop in resource requirements with the emulation part being cut off since it runs natively.But with a DS game like Pokémon, that's mostly it.
Can this be ported back into a DS rom? If you can then we'll be seeing more platinum romhacksIf not people will probably just stick to rpgmaker for fangames
>>59307994I ain't downloading that shit.
>>59308289>"its legit">"Its just a false positive".-t.discordfaggot
IP grabber
>>59308695if they can make a pc port they can port it to mobile as well
>>59308553Code monkey here, what's it written on? I want to port emerald battle frontier kino
literally whats the point if there is no source code dump? its just a proprietary virus at this point.
>>59308916The source code is right there in the link you retard.
>>59308289That's cool. I'll wait until it gets greenlighted by the community.
>>59308793It's C
>>59308553Maybe in 5 years when someone makes a crazy mod for it and removes the outdated shit like requiring Office 2003.For now it's just a curiosity for code monkeys to play with, it has no use for regular players.
>>59308651You could've done that anytime with the source leak or the decomps. It has nothing to do with a PC port.
>>59309055that still has the hardware constraints of a real DS
>>59309148There's nothing that you could do in top-down sprite Pokemon that would demand that much hardware, at most you can get like some cities with a lot of polygons (buildings).
>>59309148So it will be useful for all 0 platinum romhackers that have run into those constraints while developing their decomp/leak hacks
Wake me up when it does even half the stuff HG-Engine does. Also, unless it starts working with the decomp, no hacker is ever gonna touch this. The whole Source Code leak thing is basically radioactive for them.
>>59309313Claude can rewrite the entire source code into something legally distinct in a hot minute
>>59309383AI can't do shit.
>>59309389Nice psychosis
is it safe bwos ?
>>59309405Just get an emulator bro, it's the same shit but more annoying to use.
>>59309405yes
>>59309405Safe yesIllegal source code port yesTheoretically someone can make a separate decomp and just magically have perfect knowledge of how the game's functions work
>>59309432>Theoretically someone can make a separate decomp and just magically have perfect knowledge of how the game's functions workyou're a few years late: https://github.com/pret/pokeplatinum/
>>59309444It's not done and not PC native
Original outfit Dawn is still where it’s at
>>59309461>It's not doneThe decompilation part is done. Thanks to the perfect knowledge from the leaks.>not PC nativeWe were talking about decompilations, not ports.
>>59309469Yeah but the OP thing is a PC port of Platinum tho? I haven't tested it yet, but you will be able to sidestep DS hardware restraints if you mod on that thing.
>>59309444>>59309461>>59309469Just FYI Pret's pokeplatinum is literally just the leaked platinum source code. They scrubbed all variable/function names from it. Then slowly over time added them back based off the actual names. This is all openly discussed on their discord.
>>59309464I want a mod that puts her back in.
>>59309718https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/9665/
This is huge, it means we can now write the dual screen gimmick out of the code.It also means plat just overtook firered as the new basis for romhacks.
>>59309744Anyone trying to make something public isn't going to touch this code with a 10-foot pole.
>>59309753Why?
>>59309643Not quite, they did use decompiled ASM from the ROM. However, they use the source code as a reference to "match" the functions inside the assembly and fix any behavior that doesn't align with what GF originally programmed.
>>59309757Unlike other projects that have the benefit of claiming they're just a patch and require an existing rom to use, or are built off of reverse engineered code, the Platinum source was illegally obtained through hacking Game Freak/Nintendo's servers.
>>59309779Boohoo.If it works it works.
>>59309785You can work with it, then.
>>59309643>>59309779I will always hate Pret for their hoarding of the leaks. I know they're sitting on everything.
>>59309798Except we have the source code to literally every single mainline pokemon game. The ONLY things we are missing are some gen 3 localizations, which were never obtained. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
>>59309798What leaks do you think they're hoarding?
>>59309807oh and gen 5 localizations too, forgot.
>>59309807Then where the fuck are the pc ports other than this one?You'd think pokemon would be the first IP that had every single entry ported to pc first instead of Zelda.
>>59309810Everything and anything and who knows what. When the Gigaleak happened Wack0 entrusted everything to his circle of friends which was them and then they teased and moralfagged. Everything we got passed through them including the Spaceworld demos.
>>59309815Turns out it isn't trivial to port a codebase built for a specific game console to a platform that it was never intended to support. They only started to add "PC builds" in gen 7, and even then that was spotty at best. The only games that support "PC natively" is the switch games.
>>59309815In addition to >>59309828, there also just isn't that much interest in pokemon pc ports.
>>59309843Pokemon fans are shit eating bottom tier feeders that never attempt to go beyond game freak's yearly slop got it
>>59309871>says this>on /vp/lol, lmao even.
>>59309871There's thousands of rom hacks and fan games, which bring more value to fans than being able to run a ds game as an exe.
>>59307994Finally we can mod fire-types into the game
>>59307994mm yes I will download this obvious virus instead of just using the very accessible emulator
>>59309903You could do that with romhacks retardbro...
>>59309383but does claude know how to get past Team Rocket's Hideout in record time?>>59309815I think someone posted an Emerald PC port a few years ago never really saw it again but it was flooded under the shitton of leaks at the time
>>59308593>one screenHuh, it could be interesting now that I think about it. Since DPPt were the first Pokemon games on the DS, the touch screen feels like an afterthought at times, and you only realize once you see how well the following games use it
>>59307994Make a thread when i can replace dawn with hilda
>>59308365>>59308217>>59308308It's not that unusual. Excel is commonplace in Japanese gamedev because you can write all the data and run analysis on it without needing to write your own database or tools. Much easier to work with than a bunch of text files like typical westernshit engines.
>>59309815People are already cool with using the available rom hacking tools and decomps. Maybe if some stuff comes out of this Platinum port interest will increase.>>59309871>schizophrenic meltdown out of nowhereDon't you ever get tired of seething all the time?
oh lmao the linux release has an app image and it's all there, you don't even have to grab a rom sick
>>59309810They're definitely still hoarding files from wachk0's haul. Like, late last year the Switch kernel source code was just randomly dropped in /hbg/ on /vg/.
>>59309957I wish there was an effort to mod DS games to be completely playable with only one screen.The amount of people playing on a DS or DS-like system will only shrink over time.
>>59310319Could happen to some extremely popular games but nowhere near enough to affect DS systems.It's either that or wait for more ports like BDSP.
>>59308242I thought those were obsessed with anti-virus programs.
>>59307994wtf my computer started opening up random windows of dolphin porn i can't make it stop
>>59310088How about 4k resolution, widescreen, unlimited FPS, HD textures, models swaps, and so on for starters?Because this is in the cards for this.
>>59310540And I just saw baby getting pooped on. Whoever put this together is a sick fuck.
>>59311122Downloading now just to see this!
Okay so where's the source code? I wanna study it, especially the Pokemon structures.
>>59311748in the targz
>>59307994i saw a youtube video about it
>>59307994it's sad to see people whining in the comments because it uses leaked codethey'll probably take it down soon
>>59308092ur an idiot. u just dont know the lore.the infamous hero of all pokemon dumped all this source over half a decade ago. if ur just dumb and never compiled it and dont know u need a binary from excel 2003 to compile the game ur just dumb bro idk what to say. try like... not being dumb>>59309643Lmaooo the funniest shit about this is it doesnt even fucking matter either way its all the same fuckin shit under the hood all just compiled machine code with the exact same fuckin output and we all can access the source code all 8 billion of us so this world is a joke and dmca 1201 was written by brain damaged rejects ohhhh it says im gonna die if i read and modify it oh no mom im gonna die
OP translated a bunch of Japanese comments and debug prints, which is... fine, but it makes diffing practically impossible, and it's based off a mystery SVN rev. Converted SOME files SHIFT-JIS -> UTF-8 but only the files presumably opened by their text editor, so it's still a messy mix, too...
