Shiny Chance Changing tool v2.1

What is the Shiny Chance Changing tool?

As the name suggests this is a tool that allows you to change the shiny encounter rate!

Supported ROMs

English Fire Red

English Emerald

English Ruby

How to use this tool

First, make sure ShinyCC.exe and ShinyCCGUI.exe are in the same folder!

Run ShinyCCGUI.exe, fill in the required data and hit the patch button!

Your patched ROM will be saved to the folder that contains ShinyCC.exe

Spoiler:

This tool can also be used on the command line:
Code:
ShinyCC.exe <InFile.gba> <OutFile.gba> <numerator> <denominator>
InFile.gba is your input file, a must be a ROM supported by the program.

OutFile.gba is the name of the file that will be created by the tool, the patched ROM.

The numerator and the denominator will determine the shiny chance, setting them to 1 and 2 respectively will result in a 50% shiny rate for example.

Or you can use the tool as:
Code:
ShinyCC.exe <InFile.gba> <OutFile.gba> <percentage>
Where percentage is the desired shiny chance.

Important details

This tool changes the way the game interprets shinyness of a pokemon.

This means that shinies from a patched ROM will not appear shiny in an unmodified ROM!

Changing the shiny chance and loading an existing save may change which pokemon appear shiny.

This also means that real shinies may not appear shiny on a ROM that has been patched with this tool.

Because making a Graphical User Interface for something like this seemed overkill. Anyhow, this shoud work:

-Put your ROM and the tool in the same folder.

-Go up one level and right click the folder while holding SHIFT

-Click the 'open command window here' option

-type the command in the cmd(see OP)

I might make a graphical shell sometime.

EDIT:

And when I said "sometime" I apparently meant "the very first moment I have some free time"... Anyway, enjoy!

Thanks for providing support for Ruby, even though it's kinda not needed these days. xD

Anyway, I seem to be dealing with a problem. I cannot use the tool either by using the GUI or through the command line. I get this error message when I do so...

“ShinyCCGUI.exe is not a valid Win32 application.”

...And oh, my OS is WinXP.
