Looks like you forgot to update teh savlib, to save properly you need to save 4 times

 

[Pong20302000]

the savelib does say 1mb when opened

there isnt even a savlib file in the mediaupload link

Well my bro does have a 1mb save I converted manually and the savlib seems that it doesnt support it because he needs to save 4 times

Really needs a 1 mb save?
Because with Platinum, the thing was you can use a 512 kb save without any problem, and some people keep saying that 1 mb is totally necessary.

 

[Pong20302000]

well my savlib.dat says it saves as 1mb

dunno why its creating smaller

my SS save is 512kb and never had problems

 

[Pong20302000]

well im off for now

hopes this helps everyone

if any more data needs add just message me and i will update my extinfo.dat

 

[gameandmatch]

hm? thats weird rockstar. my sav is not that large at all and it is saving perfectly

 

[TyRaNtM]

Well.. test the version that i posted, is in the first post of this thread too, to see if really works like the patched version.
If all works ok, we can add also for EUR versions.

 

[Mr.Mysterio]

HGSS uses a 1 mb save file to combat save file corruption. It uses the 1mb to save the game twice and if one save file gets corrupted,it uses the backup savefile so you don't have to completely start over. 512kb works fine though but the game wont backup the sav.

i will add the sonic fix to my extinfo.dat later

Hey, you don't need to do that, my extinfo.dat have all this, and also you are in the credits.
If you want to add more features, use my version (for example, adding EUR HGSS support or other games).

This is because, my version have the latest updates, with a lot of JP games fixes and the 4 games fixes here (HG, SS, Sonic Racing and WarioWare DIY).

EDIT: extinfo.dat updated for a clean HG/SS (U):

Thank you for all your hard work, but I have tried a clean SoulSilver with those updates and it ended freezing. All I did was just getting in and out your house lots of times, though I didn't count the times I believe they were more than 60.

I use v1.17a12 with YSMenu.

Is it just me?

No offense, but could you at least credit Rudolph and other guys who made the fixes and not call them yours. The hex values are taken by hex comparing the original rom and the one patched with Rudolphs patch. Don't get me wrong, nice work and all, but give credit when it's due.

You are absolutely right. I forgot to give credits to him.

Without the fix, how much events you can do after freezes?

Without less. I really haven't tried it out before, but I just did with the Sonic's extinfo and infolib from yesterday and were the famous 26 times.
