## About
|
||||
This tool aims to make past Mystery Gift event contents back again in all the Pokémon games for Nintendo Switch.
|
||||
Since those games won't allow event injection in the SAV file, this tool creates a forged BCAT package, injectable with homebrews like [JKSV](https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV/releases).
|
||||
This allows wondercards to be redeemed through the In-Game Mystery Gift Menu. The use of this tool does not involve hacking the game ROM nor hacking the game SAV.

## Usage
|
||||
This paragraph refers to the Windows Form app. The Command Line app usage is similar and should be fairly intuitive.
|
||||
* Ensure you have the required [.NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0) correctly installed
|
||||
* Dump your game's BCAT with [JKSV](https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV/releases) and keep some copies somewhere safe
|
||||
* Open the tool and select your game of choice
|
||||
* Import wondercard files of your choice (by drag & drop or by clicking the `Open Files` button)
|
||||
* Eventually edit the wondercard id (WCID) if you have duplicated WCs and click `Apply`
|
||||
* Click the `Save as BCAT Package` button and browse to your dumped BCAT
|
||||
* A folder called "Forged_BCAT_{Game}" should appear next to your dumped BCAT
|
||||
* Restore the Forged Bcat with JKSV
|
||||
* To redeem the old fashion events, open your game -> Menu -> Mystery Gift -> redeem via Internet
|
||||
* When you're done, restore your original BCAT package with JKSV (not doing so may cause sync issues)
|
||||
This section refers to the Windows Form app. The Command Line app usage is similar and should be fairly intuitive.
|
||||
* Ensure you have the required [.NET 9.0 Desktop Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/it-it/download/dotnet/9.0) installed correctly.
|
||||
* Dump your game's BCAT with [JKSV](https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV/releases) and keep some copies in a safe place.
|
||||
* Open the tool and select your game of choice.
|
||||
* Import the wondercard files of your choice (by drag & drop or by clicking the `Open Files` button).
|
||||
* Optionally, edit the wondercard ID (WCID) if you have duplicate WCs, then click `Apply`.
|
||||
* Click the `Save as BCAT Package` button and browse to your dumped BCAT.
|
||||
* A folder called "Forged_BCAT_{Game}" should appear next to your dumped BCAT.
|
||||
* Restore the forged BCAT using JKSV.
|
||||
* To redeem the old event gifts, open your game -> Menu -> Mystery Gift -> Redeem via Internet.
|
||||
* When you're done, restore your original BCAT package with JKSV (not doing so may cause sync issues).
|
||||
|
||||
**N.B**: BCAT Sync usually occurs between 12:00 AM (UTC) and 01:00 AM (UTC). I suggest to not follow this procedure during that timeframe to avoid a desync.

|
||||
If you experience a desync, follow one of these methods to resync:
|
||||
* Open JKSV, select BCAT, hover over your game and press X to open the menu, then click `Reset Save Data`.
|
||||
* Download the latest BCAT for your game from my [bcat_updates](https://github.com/Manu098vm/bcat_updates) repo or from [citrusbolt](https://github.com/citrusbolt)'s [website](http://citrusbolt.net/bcat/) and add the missing files to your dumped BCAT, then restore it with JKSV.
|
||||
* Open JKSV, select BCAT, hover over your game, press X to open the menu, then click `Reset Save Data`.

## Building
|
||||
* All the Switch Gift Data Manager projects require .NET 8.0.
|
||||
* .WinForm is a Windows Form application and can only be built in Windows Operating Systems.
|
||||
* .Core and .CommandLine can be built in any platform OS.
|
||||
* Use the Debug build configuration when editing or developing code related to the .WinForm project. Build as Release only once the code is finished.
|
||||
* To build the projects, open the .sln file in the root directory with an IDE such as Visual Studio 2022, click `Build` -> `Build Solution`.

The .CommandLine project is currently just a simple script that calls the .Core functionalities and can run on any popular OS. Feel free to improve it and/or submit a pull request if you'd like :-)
