be quiet. the reason is, it makes the game a preview, esentially, so you are pretty much forced to buy the game.

I agree that this is possible, but in my eyes I see that there is an easier solution that Nintendo could have implemented to force people to buy the game.....no preview at all. it would do pretty much the same thing.

but you all are missing the point. I just want people to realize that IF it does so happen that the 3rd badge is just a portion, a more general fix may be needed.

i meant as in, they knew that the game would be leaked/dumped, so they had to implant a safety net, and they made it so that you are extra annoyed about it, due to you having got a fair way into the game, and the they make it near-impossible to crack, forcing you to buy the game.

Fair enough. It's as legitimate as my hypothesis.

Proof: some pages ago people said that if it wasn't cracked by Monday they would go and buy it.

And the "Kingdom Hearts" PSP game? And SOCOM 3? And Firmware 6.20?

The companies are beating us. They are trying to outsmart us.

Where is this rudolf patch and does it work on the Supercard SDHC with EOS Evolution v1 version?

BluBomberX · Mar 13, 2010

Come on, now. All this demand for Pokemon games, specifically HG/SS, and nobody found the AP fix!? I expected this to be done by now.

I have made some progress on this, I have it so the number of "events" before crashes is significantly higher than what it is originally, however have yet to disable it completely. Making progress for sure and will hopefully improve on that and have a fully working fix some time later this evening. Will keep you updated on my progress from here on out (was no point me posting prior to this due to the fact that I didn't have anything to post, so before you slate me for only having one post keep that in mind).

Please post anything you think can help others to understand what you found.
Coders must work together. Plus de cerveaux pour plus d'efficacité. More brainpower for more efficiency.

Currently in the process of finding exactly what "events" trigger it, and slowly going through disabled them one by one so that they don't add the counter. Although it won't make it work past 4 badges, so need to find a "fix" other than this current work around. Also a hard job finding which part of the "event" adds to the counter so a lot of fiddling at the moment and nothing post-able. But I can confirm that I have successfully increased the "event" limit slightly, not too much and as I said doesn't work past 4 badges.

So if anyone could post a list of things they've found in game that cause the freeze then that'd be a great help.

Which card do you have that it doesn't work on?
Because Assassin's Creed even works on R4's official firmware.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the PC versions of Assassins Creed 2.

Can't exactly blame them tbh. I mean, they must lose millions from illegal downloads and stuff... It's a serious problem, and if it wasn't for the fact I can't actually afford to buy all the games I want (damn college not letting me have EMA) I probably wouldn't be waiting for this rom to be fixed.

Events that I've noticed to trigger it;

Entering/leaving a building. A Pokemon battle commencing (Youngster Joey would like to battle! "Freeze)
Sometimes after I finish saving as well.

R4i SDHC Firmware 2.6f

My first post. Sup guys.

Only works on Japanese roms sadly. This topic wouldn't be here if the AP was fixed.

Thank you.
Here's what I noticed :
Getting in/out of a building/stairs/doors
Encounter wild pokemon in grass
Just after save, when hit B for getting back to game
At the start of a fight against a trainer, the list of pokeball do not appear : the game is frozen
At the end of a fight (Wild pkmn and trainer)

The two anti-piracy checks found so far involve reading from the addresses 040001A0 and 040000DC. The following code disables all checks in the game that read from those two addresses (though, not all of them might be anti-piracy checks). Try and see if it works.

020D3FA8 E1A00000
020D3FEC E1A00000
020D4038 E1A00000
020D405C E1A00000
020D40A4 E1A00000
020D40C8 E1A00000
020D4254 E1A00000
020DDDC8 E1A00000
020DDE64 E1A00000
020DE16C E1A00000
020DE204 E1A00000
So I just tested that code on No$GBA (on HeartGold), and well, it seems to be working. I was able to load a save file, start a new game and I had no problem walking in and out of a house 60+ times without badges. I was also able to load someone's post-Whitney save file without any trouble, and didn't crash a single time after going in and out of a building 30 times.
HOWEVER
The save file I loaded was a bit below Goldenrod. The 30+ attempts at going in and out of a building were done after I had entered Goldenrod, more specifically on the Dept. Store. After I tried the second code (results below) and got the sprite glitch, I decided to try this one again without going inside Goldenrod - and surprise, I got a different sprite glitch:

after going in and out of the Day Care Center two times. It kept happening whenever I left that place, but it didn't happen when I was walking around with a glitched sprite and went in and out of the Goldenrod Dept. Store. That sprite glitch, by the way, didn't crash anything - I was able to move on with the game and talk to people just fine. [EDIT2] The game also crashed EXACTLY at the 64th event.
[EDIT] Forgot to mention that I didn't get the glitch after the 2nd time I left the house on a later attempt. It still happened, though, but this time at the 6th try.

Prof. 9's second code:
020D3FA8 E1A00000
020D3FEC E1A00000
020D4038 E1A00000
020D405C E1A00000
020D40A4 E1A00000
020D40C8 E1A00000
020D4254 E1A00000
020DDDC8 E1A00000
020DDE64 E1A00000
020DE16C E1A00000
020DE204 E1A00000
020D44D8 E1A00000
020D44F0 E1A00000
020CF680 E1A00000
020CF6F4 E1A00000
020CF580 E1A00000
522602BC 1AFFFFFC
022602BC E1A00000
D2000000 00000000
5226035C E31A0102
0226035C EAF68067
E2000500 00000010
E31A0102 E35C0C02
0A097F95 EA097F93
D2000000 00000000

Appeared to be working just as well as the first code (with the post-3rd badge save file), but I got this sprite mess-up:

on the 26th and the 34th in-and-out of a building, and it crashed (without the volume going down) on the 64th try.

So, to round it up: Prof. 9's first code seems indeed weaker, as the sprite glitches happen a lot more frequently, but both of his codes can't defeat the freezing the happens at the 64th event (after getting the third badge).
I hope I was able to help a bit.
