v1.4.3 (October 21, 2010)
- SURPRISE! This version supports B/W save files!
You can now edit and save your B/W saves directly in PMGE without needing any
other tools.
- Introducing new file type: PGA, this stands for Pokémon Mystery Gift Album, but
it's not
the same as the old PGA which is now rebranded as PGF. PGA can hold 12 Mystery
Gifts from
Black/White and some other settings regarding the Mystery Gifts in B/W.
Technical information: PGA is the decrypted version of the Mystery Gift Block
in B/W saves.
- Added a feature to add a menu item in context menus of certain file extensions
(requires
installer version).
- Added a feature to create new Mystery Gifts.
- Restored the warning message at start-up for Windows XP users.
- Fixed a display bug when importing PCDs or PGTs in save files.
- Fixed a crash when trying to save settings in a read-only directory.
- Dropping a PGF file on the executable opens the file now.
- Reprogrammed save file support in order to support B/W saves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
3. Requirements
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
In order to run this program, .NET Framework 4.0 or higher must be installed on the
machine
(Windows XP SP3 or higher).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
4. How To Use
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
To load a file, you can not only use the Open button, but you can also drop a file
on the
executable or program window.
It will automatically detect if it's a D/P, Pt or HG/SS save or a PGT, PCD or PGF
gift file.
Depending on the file, there will be more or less options available for you to
edit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
4a. Save Files
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Currently, PMGE supports all Gen IV (D/P, Pt, HG/SS) and Gen V (B/W) saves.
For Generation IV saves it's able to import, export and edit PGT and PCD files.
For Generation V saves it's able to import, export and edit PGA and PGF files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
4b. Mystery Gifts (Gen IV)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
All Mystery Gifts from the 4th generation games are supported, meaning PCD and PGT
files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
4c. Mystery Gifts (Gen V)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Mystery Gifts from the 5th generation games are supported, but limited. Currently,
the
structure of the PGF files is still being researched. Depending on which version of
PMGE you
use, some values may not be available for edit. Please always use the latest
version.
Since version 1.4.3 PMGE introduces the PGA file type, this file can hold 12
Mystery Gifts and
some other settings regarding the Mystery Gift in Gen V games. Basically it's the
decrypted
version of the Mystery Gift Block in the saves. This means you won't be using it
that much,
but when you need to export and import many Gifts at once, it will be easy from now
on ^^.
Please keep in mind while importing it will overwrite all existing Gifts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
4d. Error Messages
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
I've encountered many posts and PMs from people who encoutered an error message.
Mostly this
error message give a detailed description what's causing the error. Please try to
figure out
the problem yourself. If you can't, please report it with FULL details.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
4e. Action Replay
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Since version 1.4 Action Replay export is supported. Although this is just
experimental for
now, it should work in the most cases.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
4f. Outdated OS or computer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
PMGE requires .NET Framework 4.0 and Windows XP SP3 or higher in order to run.
Please keep in
mind that some minor GUI errors may occur when using Windows XP. Windows Vista or
higher
shouldn't have such problems. If, however, it does, you can temporary disable the
custom style
in the settings. Please report the bug as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
4g. Japanese Character Support
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
It is safe to use any character from a foreign language, as long as it's supported
by the game,
in other words, if it's exist in the character table. If it doesn't, the program
will prevent
from adding it.
If foreign characters are not recognizable (mostly Windows XP), try to enable East
Asian
Language Support in Control Panel -> Date, Time, Language and Regional Options ->
Regional and
Lanuage Options -> Languages.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
5. Research and Development
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
- There will be a PKM editor when I've enough spare time.
- If someone knows more Gift Types, please share them with me so I can import it
in this
program.

6. Thanks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
Without the research of these people, I could possibly not make this program, so
thank you all!
- Jiggy-Ninja, codemonkey85 and mostly kazumi213 who created the character table.
- Sabresite for writing the C# algorithm of the checksum of the save file on the
wiki.
- kazumi213 for the Pokemon DPPt TTF, Poryhack for pointing to it.
- kazumi213 for the various sheets of the Pokemon fonts which helped me creating
Wonder Card
previews that look exactly as the cards in-game.
- codemonkey85 for various suggestions and helping me out in some ways.
- All people who figured out the new B/W Mystery Gifts.
- Bulbapedia for the lists.
I'll also thank the developers of PPSE, without the source being online, it
would've taken much
more time to figure out the encryption and decryption of the PKM files.
And of course I'll thank projectpokemon.org for being such a great site and
everyone who uses
this program!
