Hi,
Firstable I want to say that in this topic I speak with DS-scene Rom Listing numbers.
As the M3 Team forgot to fix 4791 - Pokémon Version Argent: SoulSilver (F), I tried to fix it, and it works fine for me.
You just have to open your SS Rom with a Hex Editor.
At the start, they will be something like this :

Code:
POKEMON SSÂÂIPGF01
In Hex :
Code:
50 47 4B 45 4D 4F 4E 20 53 53 00 00 49 50 47 46 30 31 00 00 0A
Ok so the M3 firmware check what rom you open and what AP-fix to use (or not) by reading this. So you just have to tell the M3 that it's a Rom who already been fixed.
We will replace the name and number by one of a fixed rom, I used 4786 - Pokémon Version Or: HeartGold (F).
So I replaced :

50 47 4B 45 4D 4F 4E 20 53 53 00 00 49 50 47 46 30 31 00 00 0A
By :
QUOTEPOKEMON HG IPKF01
50 47 4B 45 4D 4F 4E 20 48 47 00 00 49 50 4B 46 30 31 00 00 0A
And it works. Also, the flashcard will use cheats from the fixed rom. Not a problem for me because cheats for the 2 (F) version are same, like for the 2 (U) version.

You can use this to temporarly fix this roms : 4828, 4829, 4833, 4834, 4835 and the next to be released. That whould work if they did not add another AP.

Thanks for reading, sorry for my english, and remember : THE PATCH WALKS ! XD

PS : Maybe this works for other flashcards, I can't test this.

You must have Sakura 1.47X or Touchpod 4.8
You must have POKEMON HG IPKF01 at the start of your ROM.

There is no fix for the German versions on the M3 firmware yet, so you can only try the fixes for the US respectively the French version. Since the "fix" does not work for most people, it does not really matter however. I guess the real fix will come in the next update.

I think the topic creator meant it this way:

4786 was fixed by version 4.8, but 4791 was not. Since both are essentially the same, you can force the fix from 4791 on 4786 by hex editing the header of 4791 and changing it to that of 4786. Similarly, this can be done to other versions e.g. 4828, 4829.

Adding to what I said earlier, the freezing only stops for you if you're super lucky.

Sorry, I was busy.
So, if the roms have all same AP, if you force the M3 Firmware to use AP-fix on this rom, it must work.
It worked fine for me, my girlfriend play the french SS and me the HG, but the SS was not fixed.
So I just forced the firmware to AP-fix the SS rom this way.
But what I wanted to say was that you must use the name and code of a fixed ROM, so you can't use SS German rom to fix HG German rom.
If AP are exactly the same, you can fix both SS and HG German rom by replacing the name and code in your rom by those from the French HG rom, or by those from one of the US rom.

It works fixing SS (F) ROM with HG (F) ROM. Don't know for others, but I do not see why it would not work.
