ROM Hack Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver problems?

[Blaze163]

To everyone who keeps on saying "Disable the Events" or "Change the Events to ####", you can't. The people who have been working on this have tried that, and it only leads to more problems.

As for "Use the (U) version to patch the (J) version", they can't do that either. There's a number of things that are different, including the text. There was a picture on the old thread of someone who tried and it jumbled up the entire script.

Exactly what problems does altering the event counter cause?

- This match with the equation -(1/2)*x^3 - (5/2)*x + 24

Is this an example?

The data we have really match this equation. But maybe there is another one. The "+ 24" is sure because when you have 0 badges it's 24 events needed

But if this is known, don't we know where it is, it should be possible to just delete it or change it, isn't it?

IT'S BEEN TRIED! It means you can't even start the game up...

The sprites start screwing up, then the game freezes. Any other questions?

Maybe it's something very obvious and were just missing it?

Probably already asked, but who is this "they" that is working on the fix?

Is there anyway to trick the rom's event count?
lol i don't know ANYTHING about Hex codes or that kind of stuff xD

Same question, can someone confirm that there is a group of "hackers" working on a patch or are people just assuming it?

All we know so far is that the AP is linked to the badges and the number of 'events' that you go through. It is the one constant that's visible in almost every flashcart.

Souldragon is one of the actual few who are working on a fix, but it'll take some time.

The equation was found by a computer, you enter all your y=f(x) results like that
x=0 y=24
x=1 y=21
x=2 y=15
x=3 y=3
And then the computer give you an equation.
I don't know how an equation can be written in Hexadecimal, nobody know where it is, nobody know if it really exists. But if it is a coincidence, it's weird.

okay, messing with the number events and such will not work, we need to find where the AP lies in the rom and fix/edit it and what not.

 

[Trace_hunter]

None of the well known people are working on this patch

Why?

taken from the rom dump by xenophobia:

'ú Heres some kind of childrens/spergers game for you'

something similar in soul silver too, I don't think there working on a patch but that is just one group I guess...

Guys just thought I'd mention this, it seems to work fine on R4DS with 1.18 firmware but it crashed the first time for me when I walked around Cherrygrove City. I would like to see a solution (preferably a patch but AR code can work as well). It's not black screen, the game just freezes up.

I have a lvl 7 Totodile btw

Maybe someone could explain how (mostly) nds games get cracked. By hex edit or something?
So people like me (noobs) can exeriment to crack this game. Lol.

Ah okay, i was wondering,
Stupid Nintendo thinks its funny to mess with us,

But we shall have the last laugh once (if) we find a way to fix this!

It has been confirmed that Xenophobia, along with others, is working on it.
Furthermore, there are endless other groups scrambling to find the fix.
It is not their responsibility to assure y'all that they are working hard.

Is there anyway to contact them and ask for there help?

 

[vaanskypirate]

The game works, we're all getting freezes, that's the main thing.

Ribesg pourrais-tu m'expliquer à quoi sert cette équation ?
