What is 'Y-Comm Glitch'? #15

Closed AsteroidPizza39 closed 3 years ago

AsteroidPizza39 commented 3 years ago

I was wondering what it meant on the website when it said to 'activate y-comm glitch.' I don't believe I've heard of one directly relating to the Y-Comm. Is it the one that allows for faster date skipping that is activated by cancelling a ranked battle? If not, what is it? I think that perhaps a tutorial for commonly used setup glitches in the README file would help out a lot

Hey @AsteroidPizza39, the ranked battle glitch is outdated and not recommended as it has resulted in bans. The Y-Comm glitch is queuing for a link battle (from the Y-Comm), then using airplane mode right when a trainer is found. The screen will flash the blue background for a moment and then go back to the game, and then you can date skip rapidly just like the old VS glitch.

I would indeed like to add more instructional information to the site at some point, but to be honest I haven't had the time or motivation to continue work on this project at the moment - life has gotten busy. If you have some development abilities, I'm always open to pull-requests!

Another quick question: I have an Arduino Uno, but how do I upload the hex file to it?

zakthompson commented 3 years ago

That will depend on your board model and what operating system you have - if you search "flash hex file to arduino", you should find plenty of resources to help you out!

If you are on Windows, check out Xloader or Atmel Flip

On Mac or Linux, you'll probably need some terminal knowledge and dfu-programmer
