Tools

No Dolphin Patch
A Jirachi multiboot ROM (e.g. the Wishmaker client.bin)

Intro

This patch lets you obtain a multibooted Wishmaker Jirachi without using Dolphin. It bypasses the GameCube connection requirement, allowing you to use only a GBA emulator.

Video Guide

Step 1: Download the Patch

Download patches.zip from the No Dolphin Patch releases page.
Unzip the zip file to get a patches folder.
Choose the appropriate patch for your emulator using the table below.

Emulator	Multiboot ROM	Patch File
mGBA	Wishmaker Jirachi	mgba/client.ips
mGBA	Meteor Jirachi	mgba/client.2003_1112.ips
mGBA	Wishing Star Jirachi	mgba/sample0519.ips
Other	Wishmaker Jirachi	other/client.ips
Other	Meteor Jirachi	other/client.2003_1112.ips
Other	Wishing Star Jirachi	other/sample0519.ips

Note: If an 'other' patch doesn't work, try the 'mGBA' patch, even for non-mGBA emulators.

Step 2: Apply the Patch

Go to this IPS patching website.
Upload your multiboot rom as the ROM file (e.g. client.bin) and patch file.
Click Apply Patch and download the patched ROM (e.g. client.patched.bin).

Step 3: Load the Patched ROM

Rename your Ruby or Sapphire save to match the patched ROM name (e.g. client.patched.sav).
Load the patched ROM in your emulator.
Confirm the distribution succeeds.

Step 4: Verify Jirachi in Your Save

Once the transfer completes, rename the save file back to its original name.
Load your Ruby or Sapphire ROM in your emulator.
Check your party to make sure the Jirachi is there.

Congrats! You've now got your Jirachi without needing Dolphin!
