To execute this box name code, repeat the process for Coin Case ACE:

⚫

* Read the mail previously given to a party pokémon.

⚫

* Go to the Goldenrod Radio Tower and follow the correct steps to finish the setup.

⚫

* Use the Coin Case to execute the code. If the game crashes, doublecheck the box name code and ensure you've performed every step of the process correctly.

⚫

* If the code executes succesfully without crashing the game, TM33's functionality has now been repaired.

===Effect of the test box name code===

Box name data starts from $D8BF onward. Converting the provided mail code to assembly results in the following:

<pre>

F6 FF or $FF ; Set a to $FF, set carry flag to 0.

EA 80 F5 ld (F580), a ; $F580 is an echo ram copy of $D580, which corresponds to TM03's quantity.

D0 ret nc ; Thanks to the preparatory work done by the mail, allow safe return to normal game operation.
