Pokemon-Mini.net • Forum

Just wanted to collect some things which have been forgotten which need changes here on the website.

Admin action required

• On the Flash Cart page, "MrBlinkys PokeCard512 Rev2 related page" should point here. This is most definitely an issue on Mr. Blinky's side, but it's not like he's around.
• Add links to the respective flashers for each cart listed in the Flash Carts page.
• Source code for Shizzle demo needs to be added to its page. link
• Downloads are still showing double.
• You can access the website with any subdomain eg www.aafhkjashfk.pokemon-mini.net which really pollutes Google search results.
• Separate out obsolete tools from the Tools section so as to reduce the confusion for newbies. (I'll put a list below.)
• Should really have been a news post for Shonumi's coverage of the PM (published 05/17/2021), and a link to or download of GBE+ since it now supports PM including IR support (however, not overall accurate enough to replace pokemini, I don't think)
• Add games and demos which are missing, and ideally separate the games and demos into separate sections. I expect some of the low ratings are because people expected some of them to be playable and they weren't. (I'll put a list below.)

Organized tools

• Tools that are still useful today:
  • c88-pokemini - "Assembler, Compiler" tag, new tool. We should turn the make-to-install system into a direct download here (and its Releases section on GH), instead
  • Channelinject
  • eepparse - new tool
  • img2c - Image Converter tag, new tool, no download yet
  • mindis2 - Disassembler tag, new tool
  • PM Music for VS Code - Music tag?, it relies on pokemini_musicconv which comes with PokeMini to do the conversions tho, new tool
  • PokeMini
  • Race mini Editor - Game Editor tag, new tool, no download yet
  • ROM Properties - shows ROM info in the Properties view for files in Windows etc. Works for more than PM so probably shouldn't be reuploaded and just linked instead.
• Best of its kind, but not up to modern tooling:
  • BiosDump
  • img2pm - for 4-6 color support and bin exports, new WIP version here
  • PokeFlash + PokeFlash GUI - add Flash Utility tag, I feel like this should become one entry
  • PokemonMiniX - it's the only emu for Xbox
  • PokeMusic - add Music Editor/Converter tag, needs an explanation of how to run on Win 10+
  • PokeSprite - add Image Editor/Converter tag, needs an explanation of how to run on Win 10+
• Tools which have been made obsolete:
  • bmp2bin - replaced by img2pm
  • DePoke - replaced by mindis2
  • MindX - replaced by pokemini
  • Minimon - replaced by pokemini
  • Pika Macro ASsembler (PMAS) - replaced by Epson toolchain
  • PMDis - replaced by mindis2
  • PokeKaMini - replaced by pokemini
  • RomTool - replaced by ROM Properties
• Tools which I'm not familiar enough with to categorize:
  • BIOSpicX
  • Interleave
  • min2gcm
  • Mini Graphix
  • MinPack
  • PokeMap - needs an explanation of how to run on Win 10+

Things others can help with

• Update the docs to reflect Epson knowledge! And add new C docs.
• Setup and dev tutorials for the new build environment.
• Open-source, well documented example games for the new build environment.
• EEPROM library which supports both the official format and the unofficial extension used by Cortex.
• Audio library usable from C. May support any or all of the MINLIB, PokeMusic, or pokemini_musicconv generated formats. - Some work has been done toward this by Jhyn, check with him. Progress on a new one by jvsTSX here
• 4-6 color and far memory support in img2c
• Reverse engineering info over on Data Crystal

Let me know if I missed anything, or if you know how to organize those tools.

I got editor powers now so I updated the news and recategorized all the games. Finishing the games reorg and fixing tools may take some work I can't do and I'll slowly upload missing games as I have time. In lieu of the nav bar, you can view the homebrew subcategories via this menu.

For now I uploaded Pac-it and Pazuru.
