Pokémon Colosseum/Bonus Discs

From The Cutting Room Floor
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a sub-page of Pokémon Colosseum.

The bonus discs that come with reserved copies of the game have some unique contents of their own.

Hmmm...
To do:
Explain the differences between the US and Japanese discs. The Japanese version has two variants, featuring different trailers. Also, the US version contains unused Jirachi variant(s).

US Bonus Disc

Hmmm...
To do:
  • main.dol has the same text used in Super Smash Bros. Melee's crash debugger and uses similar file types. Investigate if the pokedownload rom also features a crash debugger.
  • debug_level_0.ini is located in the rom. There may be debug functionality in the data.
Fire Red WISHMKR.png

In the Game Boy Advance multiboot file sent from the WISHMKR Colosseum Bonus Disc, support for FireRed and LeafGreen (as well as Japanese versions for all games) is actually present and fully working. However, support for these games, either intentionally or by accident, is disabled by default. Internally, the function which checks the inserted game's ID will return a bitmask depending on which game is inserted. Bit 0 is set if the game is non-Japanese. Bit 1 is set when an out of region game is inserted. Bit 4 is set for Ruby or Sapphire, and Bit 5 is set for FireRed or LeafGreen. When returned value is checked, however, it will check to make sure bit 0 is set, and then bit 4 must be set as well. By dumping the multiboot file, decompressing the main code, and then nopping out 020134CC (to allow Japanese games) and 020134D4 (to allow FireRed/LeafGreen), the WISHMKR Jirachi can be transferred to all US and Japanese Pokémon games except Emerald. Support for Emerald is seemingly missing, however it was also released much later than Colosseum.

Kirby Air Ride leftovers

The contents inside /tgc/pokedownload.tgc in the US Bonus Disc contains various leftovers from Kirby Air Ride, such as the menu music and sound effects, the opening FMV, and the accompanying video that plays within the main menu.

Japanese Bonus Disc

Hmmm...
To do:
  • One of the menu options is glitched in the European version.
  • Check the rest of the languages too.

Content from the Japanese bonus disc (such as the Celebi event) was left in the full game. In the US version, its translation is incomplete, with various graphics remaining in Japanese. Also, "LIGHT BALL" is misspelled as "LIGHTBULB" when receiving the event Pikachu.

The European version is considerably buggier. Many text boxes are blank or missing, and some graphics have been corrupted.

This Action Replay code will make it appear upon starting the game.
