ROM Hack Pokemon Heart Gold + Action Replay DS = Fail?

[Sanoblue]

i have pokemon soul silver and the shorter more compact ar.... no problems to report... so i have no clue whats going on with urs. very odd id suggest trashing that one and buying a newer one,

Maybe there's some kind of error with the contacts?

What's that?

The metal pieces on the AR and DS sides that come in contact with each other (so they can transfer data).

Hmm.. But I doubt that's the problem.

Because I previously showed, (If you've seen the video on the first page of this thread), that Action Replay works with any other game but not Heart Gold.
And also, Action replay + Heart Gold work perfectly on my other DS lite, whose top screen doesn't work :/ .
So if it works on my white DS lite, why not my pink one?
That's what I want to find out right now...
Thanks for the help anyways.

(Yes, I'm guessing I'm allowed to bump after one day if it's really urgent right guys?

Sorry if not. )

I've heard that keeping a GBA game in slot-2 of the DS can fix the problem. I'm not too sure if this works though, because I don't have an ARDS.

It really got my hopes up...
But,
It didn't work

:/
More advice anyone?

the tricky "Blow to the Slot 1" trick? it might be a contact problem that is caused by dust which is designed perfectly for your Heart gold cartridge
It can't be a software problem since it worked on your Pink DS, therefore it MUST be a hardware problem, and most hardware problems occurs by dust and age

I blew my lungs out... It didn't work. Maybe I need something better than just blowing?
I'll try ordering those slot one cleaning things.

Well, my acekard2 usually get some contact problems, I usually blow the slot 1 and try again for 2-3 times and viola...
When I asked an electronic man why it happens hes respond was something along the lines with "teeth", Maybe you should google it

Just a question: What GBA game are you using?

I tested all of mine:
-Pokemon Ruby
-Pokemon Emerald
-Pokemon Fire Red
-Pokemon Leaf Green
-Mario Kart Super Circuit
-Sega Rally
-Sonic Advance
-SpongeBob SquarePants

Neither worked :/

It's very difficult to find something other than AR game codes if the search keywords included "Action Replay"... :/

I tried so hard.

 

[doeo]

Should I go for a replacement Slot for NDS game cartridges like this one? Do you think it will fix the problem?

 

[keyblade025]

have you tryed playing the game AFTER it restarted?
might work

Don't even bother playing the Pokemon Games. They simply suck if you've played a previous version. If Nintendo actually make a Pokemon game where you can unlock the "Walking Anywhere" coed or other AR codes, that would be cool. Instead we are left with the buggy shit which Nintendo calls a game.

This is not a discussion on whether or not the Pokemon games suck, stay on topic or don't post at all.

you either have 3 options:

1: contact datel and request a replacement
2: clean the contacts with alcohol
3: or use nitro hax instead of the action replay so you can play your game.

Was this problem ever resolved? Because I have the exact same problem with my HeartGold and it's really annoying!!

There IS a solution.
But it's for people who aren't afraid of opening up their DS or anything.
Open up your DS.
Take out the NDS game card slot (there are many guides on google)
Clean it, dip it in alcohol, do whatever the hell you want as long as you get it clean.
Put it back where it belongs and close the DS up.
It should work.
If not, just get one of those replacement slots doeo linked somewhere in this thread.
