Homebrew [Help!] Pokemon Emerald VC inject keeps freezing

[mitrium]

Use this to create the .CIA, make sure to select the 1MB save type + RTC (its selected by default as soon as you load the rom in the Injector)

This is what worked for me!

Google it; there is someone who made a custom rom that works that of course I can't link.

Simply put you need a bigger save file.

[Now, here's the thing: Pokemon Emerald uses a 128kb-large Flash save file. The CIA we made using Ultimate VC Injector, despite the fact that we specified FLASH-type memory with RTC, only makes a 64kb-large save file. Whoops[

And to follow this guide: Not all links may work:

Edit:

Steps to Make a 128kb CIA:

1. Open New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS. You can get it here: https://wiidatabase.de/3ds-downloads/pc-tools/new-super-ultimate-injector-for-3ds/
2. It's in Spanish, I know. Just bear with me here.
3. At the upper-left corner, click "Archivo", then select "Nuevo" > "CIA de Game Boy Advance".
4. A new tab will open in the program. Click the tab name, then select "Cargar ROM...".
5. Navigate to the .gba file you definitely got through legitimate means, and click "Open".
6. Since this ROM wasn't hex-edited, pretty much all of the data should autofill. All you need to do is set the icon and 3D banner images for the home screen.
   • "Descargar" means "download", "desde" means "from". You should be able to figure out what the rest means.
   • Also, you can click the "Virtual Console" nameplate thing to change the text displayed there.
7. Once you have it customized to your liking, right-click the tab again, click "Guardar" to save the project, then click "Exportar CIA..." to get your CIA file.
8. Put the CIA on your micro SD card and use FBI to install it.]

unfortunately, using NSUI with those settings is what i've been doing this whole time i think there might be some issue with my 3ds

You probably want to try this next: https://github.com/aspargas2/3ds_hw_test

There is no ready to use build unfortunately. Note that you need to be patient and wait for both screens to say all tests are finished. It can take a long time.

Also make sure the 3DS battery is fully charged first.

how exactly do i use/install this? and also, is it possible that maybe some 3DS system file of mine could be corrupted? maybe reformatting in some way shape or form would fix things? i would guess that AGB_FIRM could be corrupted, but OPEN AGB FIRM didn't work either, so.

You can try this build i just made. As said, do not turn the 3DS off even if it appears to be stuck. Wait until both screens say it's finished. It will write the results into a log file in the root of the SD card as well.

how do i run a .firm file?

 

[ghjfdtg]

@prtleap
Copy the .firm file into /luma/payloads then hold START while powering on.

i haven't run this yet, but is there nothing else that could be causing this issue? if it helps at all, the whole SYSTEM doesn't freeze--i can actually hit the home button and go home just fine. and the only game this happens with is emerald. does this help in figuring this out at all?
