Pokemon Colosseum/Gale of Darkness randomizer/romhacks

Someone finally came out with a Pokemon Colosseum Randomizer and it's actually pretty fun.

The guy who did it made 5 seperate randomizers, labled A-E

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Download and extract rar
>rar will split into 5 other rars
>extract the randomizer you want to use
>the randomizer you chose will split into Common Randomized # and Start Randomized #

2. Download Tsukuyomi UPS/Nintendlord's UPS patcher
http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/519/
http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/606/

3. Download Gamecube Rebuilder
http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/619/

4. Find Clean Pokemon Colosseum ISO

5. Open Gamecube Rebuilder, go to "Image" and choose the Pokemon Colosseum ISO with

6. Look for the files "common.fsys" and "start.dol"
(start.dol is found within the System Data folder, usually the first folder you'll see)

7. right click the files and export them to wherever

8. Open your UPS patcher file and patch the "common" and "start" with the randomized common and randomized start files

9. Go back to Gamecube Rebuilder and right click the "common" and "start" files and choose import
>choose the patched files that you put wherever.

The Games are now patched and you can play them on Dolphin, or you can play them on your hacked Wii/WiiU using Dios Mios/Nintendon't/USB Loarder/Whatever you use. Have fun. BTW if you're going to use Dolphin, use Dolphin 4.0-7495 (at least for Windows 10 + i5 4 Core + GTX 970) as it's been the most kind for me. Stable with no crashes. Dolphin can be a finicky thing, and which Dolphin version runs best on your PC depends on the GPU and CPU you are using so just mess around with Dolphin 3.0 through the latest and see which one works for you best.

Pokemon Colosseum ROMhack
-------------------------------------------------------
There is a ROMhack of Pokemon Colosseum called Pokemon Mausoleum but it's "unfinished" and will stay unfinished.
The unfinished part is that there are errors with some moves and misc. things
@Many (but not all) "New Moves" that target two pokemon(such as Boomburst, Discharge, Bulldoze, etc) are not fully programmed as in they are suppose to attack both pokemon but will only attack one, and will only attack the first pokemon. Interestingly enough, Origin Pulse/Preciple Blades target both pokemon so I assumed they were programmed first
@The physical/special split was suppose to be programmed in, but I assume the guy had a hard time trying to do so all moves are physical/special based on typing just like Gen 1-3.

@Some moves (like charge beam and crunch) raise attack instead of special attack and lower defense instead of special defense (a byproduct of the unimplemented physical/special split I suppose)

@Some moves work differently than their 4th/5th/6th gen counterparts (mostly because said effects don't exist in Gen 3) such as Sucker Punch and Fell Stinger

@Some shadow pokemon that are suppose to come with a held item do not come with an item, so there are a lot of missing items in the game such as Charcoil, Magnet, Poison Barb, etc.

@Shadow Staryu and Shadow Vulpix were suppose to come with a Water/Fire Stone as they are unobtainable ingame, but do not, so they cannot be evolved without the use of editing/action replay codes

@Battle Mode contains no data for trainer pokemon so they are in a way not playable.
Interestingly enough, you can start the Mt. Battle challenge, but all trainers will have no Pokemon so if you start a battle and switch your Pokemon, you automatically win. (Seems like a no effort way to obtain Ho-oh, just make sure you snag and purify all 48 first)

The reason why Battle Mode was "removed" was to keep the file the same size as the original.

The files work for Dolphin and can also work on modified Wiis/WiiU via USBloader/DiosMios/Nintendon't/whatever you use.

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness ROMhack
--------------------------------------------------------


The same guy who made the randomizer and the romhack released a ROMhack of Pokemon XD named Pokemon XG: neXt Generation which adds a lot of gen 4-6 mechanics such as fairy typing, physical/special split, etc. and some changes to some pokemon's typing (part dragon Sceptile) and changes stats to make them more similar to later gen Pokemon like Noctowl now has stats similar to Mandibuzz.

NOTE: ALL NEW UPDATES REQUIRE A [CLEAN] ROM TO PATCH SO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR .RAR FILE AROUND

The files, instead of the convoluted way Mausolem was patched, can easily be patched by NUPS Patcher instead. Latest files are posted by the Original Poster and are updated frequently so check back once in a while for new surprises such as new moves or new pokemon
