The RAM Writer is the ultimate arbitrary code execution tool for first generation Pokémon games. The RAM Writer introduced here is a version ported for the second-generation games. With this writer, you can read and write any value to any memory address using this writer. You can even write and execute entire programs, making it a powerful tool for installing and playing games.
This article serves as an accompanying guide for the following video.
RAM Writer Installation Procedure
Environment
This guide only works with the Japanese versions of Pokémon Crystal. It does not work with Pokémon Gold/Silver or non-Japanese versions. It also does not work with Pokémon Stadium 2's GB Tower or some emulators. Please refer to the following article for information on installing a binary editor in the Japanese versions of Pokémon Gold, and Silver.

RAM Writer in Pokémon Gold/Silver (JP)
Step 1: Have 2 Pokémon in your party
If starting a new game, you need to progress until you obtain Poké Balls. The gender, time, player’s name, day of the week, first Pokémon, and rival's name can be anything. Do not have 3 or more Pokémon in your party until you use TM17 to start the RAM Writer.
Step 2: Change Box Names
Change the Box names as follows.
Box 2: ダだゲムよダだガ
Box 3: よノゥネろてエろ
Box 4: にらヅノるひジデ
Box 5: にテゥキリゅゅの
Box 6: へブひひ はムろ
Box 7: どダれアろダだや
Box 8: ざダれむをダリ
Box 9: だかがをぜジだを
Step 3: Obtain Pokémon with an Unterminated Name
- Obtain a Pokémon with an unterminated name by doing a hard reset at a specific time when saving.
- If starting a new game, switch to Box 3. If using an existing save file, switch to a Box that has never been full. It is recommended to use a Box that has never been used before. Make sure to save when switching Boxes.
- Deposit a single Pokémon. Select "ボックスせいり／メールはずしてね", choose "はい" to "レポートにうえからかいてもいいですか？", and do a hard reset right after "でんげんをきらないでください" is fully displayed.
- After rebooting the game, open the Bag first, then check the Box.
- If the newly deposited Pokémon's nickname was changed to a bunch of question marks, you can continue with the next step. If not, redo step b. If the Pokémon is not deposited at all, the reset was too early. If the Pokémon is deposited normally, the reset is too late.
- The window to successfully perform this glitch is only 2 frames, which occurs 149-150 frames after pressing "はい".
- Once you obtain the Pokémon with an unterminated name, put it at the top of Box 3.
- (If using an existing save file) Switch to Box 3.
Step 4: 0x1500 Control Code Arbitrary Code Execution
- After obtaining the Pokémon with an unterminated name, make the 1st item in the Bag an unwanted item and save and reset it in front of the PC.
- After reloading the save, take 1 step to the left and 1 step down from in front of the PC and open the Pokédex. Make sure to open the Pokédex at this position in the image.
- In the Pokédex, put the cursor on Spearow.
- In case the only wild Pokémon you have seen is Pidgey, Spearow would be out of reach in new Pokédex mode, so the player will need to go to old Pokédex mode
- The new Pokédex mode’s order is as follows, so even if you haven't encountered Spearow, you can use this as a reference to put the cursor on it:🔍ワニノコ (Totodile)
アリゲイツ (Croconaw)
オーダイル (Feraligatr)
ポッポ (Pidgey)
ピジョン (Pidgeotto)
ピジョット (Pidgeot)
オニスズメ (Spearow)
オニドリル (Fearow)
ホーホー (Hoothoot)
ヨルノズク (Noctowl)
コラッタ (Rattata)
ラッタ (Raticate)
オタチ (Sentret)
- After closing the Pokédex, take 1 step to the right, 1 step up. Open the PC and display the unterminated name Pokémon’s name. Make sure to follow this movement order. It will fail if you don't follow this order.
The setup is a success if it doesn’t crash and the following occurs:
- The name of Box 6 became "へブばん どうろひ はムろ".
- The 1st item in the Bag became a はながらメール (Flower Mail).
Step 5: Simplified RAM Writer Setup
Change the names of Box 3 to Box 5 as follows. Do not change the names of Box 6.
Box 4: ヅまとへゲみぴよ
Box 5: へゲみボぷへゲみ
After changing the Box names, please confirm that they are as follows:
Box 2: ダだゲムよダだガ
Box 3: だじダムキづごぱ
Box 4: ヅまとへゲみぴよ
Box 5: へゲみボぷへゲみ
Box 6: へブばん どうろひ はムろ
Box 7: どダれアろダだや
Box 8: ざダれむをダリ
Box 9: だかがをぜジだを
Give a Pokémon the following Mail:
に０ぞ？ムぞボデののののののだっ
After creating the Mail, read the contents of the Mail. Then you can start the simplified RAM Writer by opening the Pokédex.
Simplified RAM Writer
From now on, you can start the simplified RAM Writer each time you read the above Mail and then open the Pokédex.
DD0B on the left is the memory address being written to, and 00 on the right is its content. Note that the display of A, B, and C is abnormal in this simplified RAM Writer. A is g, B is a horizontal line, and C is a phone icon.
B: Address -01
A: Address +01
↑: Value -01
↓: Value +01
←: Value -10
→: Value +10
START: Exit
SELECT: Execute code from DDD1 (be careful not to press this until you have entered the program)
Step 6: RAM Writer Setup
Use the simplified RAM Writer to input the RAM Writer program. Once input is complete, you can start the RAM Writer by pressing the Select button. It is recommended to press the Start button to exit the simplified RAM Writer and save before starting the RAM Writer.

After changing, put the cursor on address D300 and press SELECT+A to obtain TM17 in the key items pocket. Each time you use this TM17, you can directly start the RAM Writer.
Step 7: Restoring to Normal State
Various side effects occur from the RAM Writer setup.
- Pokédex
- Box names
- Pokémon with an unterminated name
Pokédex
You can fix the Pokédex by changing the content of address D94C to 00.
Box Names
After setting up the RAM Writer with TM17, you can change Box names as you like.
Set the bank to 01, move the cursor to address 5C95, and press SELECT+A to reset Box names to their defaults.
Pokémon with an Unterminated Name
Open the Bag first, then open the Box and release the Pokémon with an unterminated name.
Usage Guide
Once you have installed a RAM Writer, see the following article to learn how to use it.
📄RAM Writer Usage Guide in Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal (JP)
Precautions
Do not edit addresses AFDE-B097 in SRAM bank 03 and C800-C8B9, DA47-DA55 with the RAM Writer.
Technical Notes
Arbitrary Code Execution with 0x1500 Control Code
Arbitrary code execution using the 0x1500 control code is a method discovered in Pokémon Crystal and cannot be used in Pokémon Gold/Silver. It involves the combination of the 0x15 control character followed by 0x00 in a text string.
Reading the 0x15 control character causes the next character to be used as an argument to execute a mobile script. If the internal ID of the next character is 0x01-0x0F, it executes a mobile function, and if it is 0x10 or higher, it is supposed to end the mobile script. However, 0x00 is not handled properly and address CD46 is executed instead. Address CD46 is an address used by some mobile functions. Therefore, by finding a text combination of 0x15, and 0x00, you can execute address CD46.
| Address | Function |
|---|---|
| D05B | Address where the names of Pokémon and items are buffered. |
| D0C8 | Address where the current selected party Pokémon’s species is buffered. |
| D0C9 | Address where the current selected party Pokémon’s party slot is buffered. |
| D0CE | Address for temporarily storing Pokémon. |
| D296 | Address for temporarily storing Pokémon species. |
| D297 | Address failed to flee from battle. |
When the game is reset, the contents of addresses D05B and onward become 0x00. The Pokémon with an unterminated name does not have the 0x50 that indicates the end of the name, so when trying to display its nickname, it tries to read the text until it outputs the 0x50 that indicates the end.
If you follow the steps above after reopening the game, the content of address D0C8 is the species ID of the Pokémon last seen in the Pokédex, the content of address D0C9 is 0x02, the content of address D0CE is 0x00, the content of address D296 is 0x15, and the content of address D297 is 0x00. The reason the content of address D0C9 is 0x02 is for poison status judgment and it becomes the same as the number of Pokémon you have.
If you haven't seen Spearow, the content of address D0C8 will not be 0x15. Therefore, when trying to read the content 0x15 of address D296 as text, it executes address CD46 by using the content 0x00 of the next address D297 as an argument for the mobile script.
If you have seen Spearow, the content of address D0C8 becomes 0x15, and it executes the mobile function corresponding to 0x02, the content of the next address D0C9. By executing the mobile function for 0x02, it executes address CD46 by using the content 0x00 of address D0CE as an argument for the mobile script.
By opening the Pokédex at the specified location, moving 1 step to the right, and moving 1 step up, it changes the contents of addresses CD64 onward to C2 9B C4 (jp nz, C49B). Since addresses CD46 to CD63 contain 0x00, after executing address CD46, it will execute address C49B.

Addresses C49B to C49F contain 00. Address C4A0 onward contains screen data as follows:

WRA0:C4D4 EA A0 DB ld (DBA0),a
WRA0:C4D7 C3 83 DB jp DB83Box Names
Explanation
The arbitrary code execution using the 0x1500 control code utilizes the names of Box 3 to Box 6. Address C4D2 onward contains screen data related to the name of the current Box, and if you follow the steps, it will be the name of Box 3.
By executing up to address C4D1, the a register contains CD, so the effect of this arbitrary code execution is to change the content of address DB97 to 35, the content of address D94C to 0C, and the content of address D886 to 9E.
Address DB97 stores the Box names and is overwritten to execute the simplified RAM Writer. Address D94C stores the Pokédex mode, and by putting an abnormal value, it enables arbitrary code execution using the Pokédex. Address D886 stores the type of the 1st item in the Bag, and setting it to 9E makes the 1st item a Flower Mail.

Explanation
By setting the Pokédex mode to 0C and opening the Pokédex, it executes address D021. Addresses D002 to D022 store the contents of the last viewed Mail, so by reading a Mail and then opening the Pokédex, you can start the simplified RAM Writer.
The simplified RAM Writer is a program that outputs the address pointed to by the hl register and its contents. It changes the address pointed to by the hl register and its contents based on key inputs.
