This is absolutely incredible. As someone who was among the pioneers of the void glitch all the way back in the back in the, I've already had an itch this was possible, but we'd probably never get there. Today, a decade from when I left, I cannot express how proud this makes me feel of this incredible community. So, so many thanks to everyone involved in this project, this is indeed the Holy Grail. ACE is here, sky's the limit!
From a race condition to understanding the mysteries of the infinite Voids, to executing certain scripts to full arbitrary code execution... Thank you everyone who has been involved in all of this, in any shape or form. It is truly amazing to see how far we've come!
its actually insane what you guys do, i remember the time when arceus was pretty much unobtainable and the darkrai and shaymin glitch took hours to perform
Absolutely incredible!!!!!!! There's so much to say here, and the sky really seems like the limit now. Fantastic work both on all of the work to discover this and presenting it in such a digestible and well-explained way. I'll be watching this so many times to really wrap my head around all of this
This is amazing, I cant believe I'm just now seeing this, 2 to 3 years after it was uploaded. This deserves way more attentino and you all should be proud! Great job!
This is fantastic! If you use this to make actual routes for pokemon like manaphy or any unubtainable pokemon i will love you forever! Thanks to you and the others who pure their minds together to achieve this!!!
Imagine going back in time to 2008 and posting a detailed guide on how to do this on your forum of choice, just for people to call you a troll and tell you to go back to finding mew under the truck
People knew how to catch Mew in 2008. The trainer-fly mew glitch was known about. Go back in time and tell people that surfing through that Elite Four door isn't a game-ruiner, and that void out there is gonna get wild.
Finally! Love watching all of these and great to see you succeed! (Geez, now that gen 1-4 has been broke, gen 5 is next but I kinda have doubts on that one lol)
And here it is. So exciting! I played Pokémon Ranger on an emulator just for Manaphy and my god is it hard. I hope this can help others complete their dex
Can't believe you actually managed to get an ACE running on the advanced 4th Gen games! I thought they were good for old games up until Gold, but it's so cool to see it making it up to modern age! ... wait Pearl was released 2006??
damn due that was crazy! I just tried and succeded the darkrai, shaymin and arceus thing yesterday, and that was probably the most fun thing in pokemon I've done in years. Hope to see more cool stuff like this and thanks from the Netherlands!
33:24 Every kid's hacking fantasy of pressing random keys on something to hack it. Except it works in this case. There may be a ton of prerequisite steps and the actual keys pressed aren't actually random but I still think the comparison is cool.
saved this to watch while soft resetting for a shiny chimchar in brilliant diamond and i’m so glad i did, what a captivating video! i’ve been following research and developments with glitches in dp for 7 or 8 years now and i can’t believe how far things have come just while i’ve been around to watch. i remember almost crying the day the method to catch arceus via the void glitch and retire trick was discovered, and look at how far things have come just since then! i can’t begin to thank you and everyone involved enough for all the time and effort and dedication you put into making this possible. seeing this come together bit by bit over the years with the discovery of the retire glitch, alt retire, ledge canceling, etc has been so exciting and simply amazing to watch. thank you again so much for your dedication, and here’s to figuring out both ASE and ACE in diamond and pearl after all these years!
Are u going to make a video on using the step counter and void to get Manaphy just like u did with Arceus? Also, does this mean u can get infinite of any Pokémon too? Lastly, does the final step count that you make in the void correspond to the Pokédex ID number of the Pokémon, thus being able to get Manaphy? Thanks!
Here's an idea what if you used code from another game via the gba slot in the ds for arbitrary code execution as the code exists to access old pokemon games potentially adding more glitches and interactive things to not only old pokemon games but all gba games
You seem to take this stuff seriously, so I was hoping you could replicate something for me. I used to mess around with the link cables for Gen 1. Basically, I'd get to the confirmation screen, turn off one game, set up a different trade with that game, get to the confirmation screen again, turn off game two again, and then facilitate a trade between games one and three. You could trade for an empty slot on another game doing this. I got a particularly strange glitch. It's hard to explain, but the game would become buggier with each step while you held this Pokemon in your party. I know Gen I is already a confirmed mess, but this was... different. I've encountered all of the normal glitch mons through Cinnabar and the Mew glitch (including the unique variants in Yellow), but this is different. Hope you get the chance to read this.
So now that you've achieved the holy grail of pokemon exploits and spent multiple years working towards this, Retire exploiting BDSP video out when? 😂 In all seriousness, I've been watching you and the gang breaking down how DPP tick and bending the game to your will for many years now, and I'm glad to say that I saw a piece of gaming history unfold before my eyes. Congratulations, you all deserve much praise. Now go get some sleep you absolute madman, you've earned it.
33:44 So I'd the calculator going insane as a result of the game writing data, or are you inputting the numbers there? Also at 35:23 did you turn your character sprite into Giratina? 😆 You and your team have been going insane with the research over the years. I admire the commitment that you all have.
The numbers being input are code that writes the sprite of giratina over mine, and created a manaphy byte by byte into memory. This was obviously not done by hand, I wrote a script that converted the memory writes to inputs to automatically play frameperfectly. And thank you! :)
This seems absolutely amazing and groundbreaking, even though I may not understand all of it haha. The only question I have then is, what does this all mean for casual players who play on ds??
You can manipulate the games code by "going bonkers," giving you any item or pokemon you could want. However, "going bonkers" is very intricate and complicated, so you must do it right in order to get what you want
idk what any of this means besides this mans doing the equivalent of drinking a red bull, putting on boxing gloves (you know so he doesn't hurt the pokemon world's representation of god too badly), swimming in a dark void and giving pokegod a wack before putting a leash on it.
I would love to see you write some code to RAM and then force the game to jump to it and use the game's large amount of memory to bend the game to your will to do something awesome. I would also like to see the whole, uncut run of achieving this.
Yes, by now ACE is possible on all versions of all gen 4 games. Although DP is used as a catalyst, platinum/hgss require ACE in DP to transfer to them.
When you're in a pokemon speedrun contest and your opponent
shows up with nothing but a bike, a pedometer and a calculator
Y'all can thank RETIRE for staying up until 4 AM multiple nights in a row to get this out within the BDSP deadline
Up to 6am :O
Just like the BDSP devs FeelsBadMan
And then they turned themselves into a Giratina. Funniest shit I've ever seen.
34:06 That beat is fire
This is gaming history right there.
TRUE
This
This is absolutely incredible.

Huge congrats to all the team
bruh why tf did i get jumpscared by the trainer sprite swap to giratina lmao
The Max% Glitched Pokedex Run looks real good rn
its actually insane what you guys do, i remember the time when arceus was pretty much unobtainable and the darkrai and shaymin glitch took hours to perform
ikr

Thank you Matt, I am glad you enjoyed the video! I told you it wouldn't dissapoint ;)
and here I was thinking the calculator app was just cool because of Pokemon cries... insane!
true, this is groundbreaking
as a person who loves glitches and start with gen 4, thank you all so much for your efforts!
This is amazing, I cant believe I'm just now seeing this, 2 to 3 years after it was uploaded. This deserves way more attentino and you all should be proud! Great job!
TIMBERS: SHIVERING
Thank you for all the time and effort you guys put it to making ACE possible. Let's go!
I was able to get Shaymin and Darkrai because of you guys's efforts years back man! Super fun to do.
This is fantastic! If you use this to make actual routes for pokemon like manaphy or any unubtainable pokemon i will love you forever! Thanks to you and the others who pure their minds together to achieve this!!!
No wonder it's called the final holy grail. Cheers!
Thats amazing you could say you cracked the game open at this point
Give yourself a pat on the back
You deserve it and congrats.
Absolute wizardry. Came here after etchy at GDQ and the glitch exhibition. Tremendous work. Made me giddy at seeing this
Wow is all of this possible without action replay? The void glitch is absolutely incredible. 👏
Imagine going back in time to 2008 and posting a detailed guide on how to do this on your forum of choice, just for people to call you a troll and tell you to go back to finding mew under the truck

Go back in time and tell people that surfing through that Elite Four door isn't a game-ruiner, and that void out there is gonna get wild.
A PHD in Pokemon Science, well researched & thoroughly explained. Cheers!
I'm speechless, just thank you for making this wonderful work and explained it this well.
Finally! Love watching all of these and great to see you succeed!
(Geez, now that gen 1-4 has been broke, gen 5 is next but I kinda have doubts on that one lol)
Now this is the kind of thing I will never fully understand, but can't stop watching. Incredible work :)
Retire, the things you do are incredible. Thank you so much for what you provide to this community!
I forgot that was his name for a second and thought that was an order
34:55
"1"
most threatening aura i've ever seen
YOOO YOU’RE TELLING ME THE HOLY GRAIL OF GLITCHES HAS BEEN FOUND FOR DP
Huge milestone achieved for the glitch community. Congrats!
I was on your discord for a long time. I’ve not been able to access my acct in years… this is an amazing undertaking by you guys! Good glitch finding!
And here it is. So exciting!
I played Pokémon Ranger on an emulator just for Manaphy and my god is it hard. I hope this can help others complete their dex
Wiimmfi
Can't believe you actually managed to get an ACE running on the advanced 4th Gen games! I thought they were good for old games up until Gold, but it's so cool to see it making it up to modern age! ... wait Pearl was released 2006??
これは待ちきれない.....！
GG. Honestly, I didn't expect to see this so soon. Congrats !!
4世代でもついに任意コード実行が...
Yes!
I am ridiculously hyped for this
Congratulations man you have opened up the game to anything
damn due that was crazy! I just tried and succeded the darkrai, shaymin and arceus thing yesterday, and that was probably the most fun thing in pokemon I've done in years. Hope to see more cool stuff like this and thanks from the Netherlands!
The quality of this content is on a whole other level. Fantastic job guys!!
this shit like a movie trailer fr got me hyped
33:24 Every kid's hacking fantasy of pressing random keys on something to hack it. Except it works in this case.
There may be a ton of prerequisite steps and the actual keys pressed aren't actually random but I still think the comparison is cool.
My mind is blown, you’re an absolute genius.
All of you.
:D

Can't wait to see this to better understand!
man i'm just remembering watching alll those livestreams leading up to this video...... again amazing job this was sick
Yo this some real shit, thanks for the work. I wish you a lovely weekend
Thanks for the kind words, and the same to you :)
This is just incredible. Really clear explanation, too!
AAAAAHHH I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!
AAAAAAA SAME!
Fantastic find! This is really good!
been a sub for over two years now, your content never fails to disappoint. you’re the GOAT 🐐
Amazing work!
cool dark void manaphy you got there
well done on finding ace
Met at Lv. 69, huh? Nice work!
I dont know how or why but getting jump scared by Giratina at the end there is the most shocking part of the whole video LOL
So you're telling me that the entire first half of Pokemon has ACE now
Yes :)
now all main line games from gens 1-4 also do!
Thanks for everything. I think it's time to find my lost games and play again, with glitches of course
I really was a fool thinking rng manipulation was the bottom of the iceberg when finding out about it
sick stuff! thank you for all of your hard work
That work through years is huge, I don't even know what to say ! But congrats !
With how much code you were entering at the end, I thought we were about to start playing Pokémon Red version!
better news than the remakes for sure
Wow! I didn’t understand like any of this but I am amazed
Are u going to make a video on using the step counter and void to get Manaphy just like u did with Arceus? Also, does this mean u can get infinite of any Pokémon too? Lastly, does the final step count that you make in the void correspond to the Pokédex ID number of the Pokémon, thus being able to get Manaphy? Thanks!
This is INSANE. Massive congrats to all involved
A release date special 😍
Absolutely astounding these things are discovered 10 years after the games original release. I am flabbergasted by yalls dedication.
"Go! Fly slave!" Had roll
this is it
Man, that's insane, incredible job!
I hope you keep making more content! I also hope we start to find more in black and white!
So excited to see this!
Hot shit my guy, big props to everyone involved!
ok but can it run doom
it should be able to.
Hahahaha this looks like crazy. Let's see what we can us all do with this !!
I have no idea how people find this kind of stuff... But it is absolutly insane!!! really cool!!!
I knew this video would be amazing before watching but I have to say it really is .. amazing.
ITS BEEN 2 YEARS???????
With some luck next year new videos will come :)
@@RETIREglitch 👀
incredible. great work from everyone
ACE never looked so good. The door has been opened, let the glitches reign supreme!
Here's an idea what if you used code from another game via the gba slot in the ds for arbitrary code execution as the code exists to access old pokemon games potentially adding more glitches and interactive things to not only old pokemon games but all gba games
with all the menu storage bugs in bdsp 1.1.1, surely we can get ace happening on the switch
34:00 initiate ACE vacuum cleaner!! 😂
35:20 he knows what u did and has come for ur soul

Wow this is so cool! Kind of sad that it's so much more complicated than gen 3 ACE but I guess that's expected.
Ahhhh the hype is real
