#### Korean TM Wrong Pocket Pointer List

Hey, so I saw Evie's TM49 Korean thread, thought it was interesting, but then thought, "what are the pointers for EVERY wrong pocket TM." So I went through where they were stored in the ROM and made a list, and figured I'd share them since it doesn't appear to be documented anywhere.
`TM01 14FE

(also, as usual, pointers to 4000-7FFF will go to bank 3)

Your username is indeed a lie! Nice. :D

Thanks. :) As I don't use ROMs anymore I can't easily test, but I notice you have TM49 as 21CB; the same as EN. It could be then that it just redirects from CB21 to D6D2;- the execution pointer I added when I had breakpoints open, though I'm wondering if there's a mistake there.

There isn't a mistake, for whatever reason, that section of ROM actually has a JP D6D2 right in that spot (like, no other unintended code executed, just jp D6D2).
Also, just to note, if you're using breakpoints, you could just do a breakpoint at 0032, since the game uses rst JumpTable for item execution (although you could just go to where it has a list of the execution pointers… which will be in little endian and the unusable items have execution pointers too (they're just unusable) so you have to make sure to skip those).
EDIT: Also, 21CB is big endian, CB21 is little endian. It doesn't point to RAM, it points to ROM (which then jumps to RAM).

I see, thanks. Good point :) (Just hypothetically ACE could be the result of a call or a different jp not from JumpTable sometimes). I remember someone did an experiment too; but for Generation I which was a search for where "jp [hl]" occurs in the ROM. I wonder if more exploits could be found for Generation II that way?
Yeah (actually this how me and a friend learned about wrong pocket TM/HMs really long ago before any exploits with them were published on these forums - we took a tool that edited item effect pointers and noticed the TMs/HM pointers on it were the actual ones when you use the item). Do you know the offset/pointer to the pointer table?
On that note, what would you have to do in the RAM to force the execution of things like HM07 and Teru-Sama? (and possibly re-enable the use option) Is it possible with simple RAM locking, or would you have to restructure things? As was well documented, some Teru-Sama have different effects including unused effects like unfinished unused Poké Flute code. I do wonder whether we can use existing ACE to enable those, to access other undocumented item effect pointers.
I might have a look at the pointers and the disassembly to see if there are any Korean specific ROM pointers I disregarded as 'at a glance nothing seems to happen'.

But in Korea have they had severe translation problems from Japanese in game development? Given the many mistakes made during development.

Korean GS was based on Western GS, not the JP version (which is also why the entire Latin alphabet is in the game, and international trades *mostly* work fine).
