Hacking Pokemon black akaio

[yusuo]

any ideas if normmatt is working on a fix for the latest pokemon game

 

[omgpwn666]

Of course he is, just have to wait. I feel he'll probably take his time since it's in another language other than English.

 

[RoMee]

you should have asked this in the pokemon black and white thread,
there's plenty of people there that can answer this question.

If there's not already a fix request there, request it using the official template.

If there is, wait and don't post.

I tried that, and I still get a black screen when the game tries to transition from the introduction speech to showing me in my room. Curious.

Works with AceKard 2iIgnore the bytes in red. They seem to be from something else, and that line is too long.
Also, they're just one long block (except the last one), so rather than replacing 6 individual strings, you can find/replace the whole thing in one go.

Make sure you have AKAIO 1.7.1 and the latest loaders.
Without the hex changes, my game is fine (aside from POSSIBLY no EXP).

That's what I tried in the first place, since I always keep it updated. I also reformatted my SD using the Panasonic formatter, but nothing worked. However, the game does progress past the same point on my R4 with Wood 1.12, so I can at least determine that the file itself is fine. I suspect there's an issue with my specific hardware revision, since I'm certain that mine is not a clone.

 

[Hakoda]

I want to know if my hunch is wrong. Anyone with an AK2.1 please test the B/W ROMs with hex patch. Handful of 2.1 users seem to get a black screen after the character creation/ before video into your room. If this hunch is proven wrong, then its just the different AK HW revisions.

That's the precise issue I have on my Acekard 2i.

Alright so it seems to be the fluctuating hardware revisions of the Acekard itself. Thanks.

Only person who would be able to fix that is Normmatt. Just wait, I'm sure he'll update loaders soon. The demand is great.

Make sure the small group of bytes you're replacing are at offset 0x4EA4.
There are a few "1E FF 2F E1" through out the game, and changing the incorrect one will have unintended consequences.

 

[DesDes-san]

I know I did it right, since I went directly to the offset instead of searching for the string, and a second look confirms it.

Uh, I editted the one from 0x4EA0 because 0x4EA4 was not there and so far everything is alright?

 

[Hakoda]

Does anyone have this working specifically on an AK2.1?

DesDes-San, what's your HWID?

 

[IRISHLAD09]

White running ok on my aK2.1 but black does not load at all for me

 

[DesDes-san]

I have HWID 81, the yellow/black PCB. Only bought it less than two months ago.

What's your HWID and PCB type?

PCB is the color of the board on your AK2.1, you should be able to gently undo the clips and find the color of the main board.
HWID can be found by going to Start --> Help

If your string was AT 0x4EA0, there's a problem with your ROM.
If your string was on THE LINE 0x4EA0, that's fine.

Mine's HWID 81, yellow/black as well. The patched ROM doesn't work at all.
