Getting Started​

Prerequisites​

To start, you first need to obtain a dump of the game.
This will not be provided for you under any circumstances, as it enables piracy (which is not supported by us); you must perform this process yourself.

For this, you will need:

• A Pokémon HeartGold Version or Pokémon SoulSilver Version cartridge.
• A modified Nintendo DSi/3DS.
• GodMode9i.

1. Launch GodMode9i on your console.
2. Ensure the game cartridge is inserted.
3. Select the NDS GAMECARD option in GodMode9i.
4. Press A (yes) to dump the ROM.

If successful, your ROM should be dumped to your SD card under the path sd:/gm9i/out.

Known Good ROMs​

The tools to modify the games are verified to work with the following dumps.
If your dump is not on this list, it is not guaranteed to work correctly with our tools, as it may be missing features (such as DSi-enhanced features). If this is the case, redump your game. We will not provide any dumps, as it enables piracy (which is not supported by us), so do not ask.
