I'm sure everyone here spending time trying to crack it appreciates all your kind words.
I hate barging in while everything is getting out of hand. But, I was able to get the patcher that was linked from the French website http://codlab.1allo.com/nds/coaa.html to work and I dunno if I can help. I kind of feel like I'm adding on to the useless posts that are already all over this board. Sorry if I am. But,
The folder included what I think was the Rudolph patch. It itself obviously didn't work, but the .bat file was able to take my clean English Rom and apply something to it.
Thing is, it was able to patch my game, but it made the whole thing go weird. There were Japanese characters all over the place in the start-up menu and random words under the main menu icons. And the game crashed when I tried opening the Pokedex. (The very first thing I did)
But my point is that it was able to completely edit my U rom with the patcher even though it seemed to have a copy of the rudolph patch for the Japanese version. I think whatever they have there might be on the right track somehow.
I was able to get the patcher to work by naming the (U) rom: ame_argent.nds
(the way it looks in the screenshots on the page)
Then I put the .nds file in the Rom folder and then used the patch.bat file. It then took a minute or two to apply everything and it made a new file named rompatchee.nds
(I tried using some guess work and the little bit of french I remembered from high school)
Hopefully this helps a bit and isn't a complete waste of a post. But hey, at least it's better than half the garbage that's up anyway. I'm at least trying.

I patched mine and it changed nothing.

If this crashes more frequently why not do the opposite to what was done?

So, just created an account here so as to clarify some things with this french patch and with french version of HG/SS.
This patch is just a translation patch for Japanese version, so there's no point trying to make it work on the US version, cause it obviously won't.
I've also seen some people saying French version didn't have any AP. This completely wrong, it surely has. I'm playing on it (I'm french, so...), and I assume it freezes exactly the same way the US version does.

I've been sifting through the codes in the rom for hours now trying to find some new leads, with little to no sucess.
My eyes are now bleeding so I'm gonna take a break for a while. Good luck to the other coders trying to find it.
If no sucess ill go back to hurting my head more in a few hours.
sidenote: it would help so much from my point of view if people stopped posting nonsence/telling people to stop posting nonsence, took me 20 minutes to sift through the crap before writing this

It does not, as it is only for the japanese version. It does not fix the AP on any other version.
[Non, il ne marche pas, c'est un patch pour traduire la version Japonaise, et pour l'empêcher de freezer, il ne fait rien du tout sur une autre version.]

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
