ROM Hack Pokemon HG/SS fix discussion

[rvd42387]

_chaz_ the arm7 doesnt help I tried alot of things last night I even put the DATA file from the US version into the JP rom all that did was screw alot of things up look back around page 3 and you can see that whole experiment from last night

Can we focus on seeing the results of changing 01410000C with 02260344 instead?

Mine just keeps freezing at the menu screen now. How did it go for you others?

Hey can u give me directions on how to find the string. I've got a hex editor and the rom, i got the rom open in the hex editor, i just dont know how to find the string

Search for it.

searth with the find function, or the goto function, or do you wan't me to just look through all those strings D:

 

[mameks]

Hmmmm, this is rather annoying, no?

 

[basher11]

Just wanna know,what hex editor did you guys used?

I used one called 010 Editor. Should I try another one?

crystal tile 2? powerful stuff.

 

[_Chaz_]

where in the .nds file is the AP found?

I've replaced the arm7.bin file and have had no problems thus far...

AP doesnt show up as a file in the rom if you unpack it. its in the hex adresses(?)

Alright, thank you.

Does this mean that I'll experience problems later on?

It looks like they have updated the YSMenu for R4's to fix the Soul Silver AP Problem! O.o

The translation is really broken, but it seems to be legit.

Iv'e never used a hex editor but I assume there is some sort of find and replace function.

 

[rvd42387]

just giving third confirmation on the hex edit freezing after you touch the start screen

Nice find!

 

[mameks]

yes there is, but if it cant find the string it does nothing. also, this has been tried, it kills your start menu, dunno how, but it does.

i just got another freezze.. i was chalenged by youngerster mikey on route 30/31

and now my 2 poke balls are spinning

everything froze. music is sitll playing

 

[baldymcbald]

good luck with the hex editor that was my first guess as well but it will take forever to find the proper addresses its not like hacking ps2 codes where u have a labler to find the proper addresses for the codes you need a program with developer function that allows you to see active memory not just all the memory for example almost all the addresses from 02e000000 and on are all graphics indicating where the program needs to add various sprites and objects as well as animations with out a decent guess from active memory where the error is occurring you could spend hours looking for the right address out of the approximitly 18million addresses that are used in the game.
ps i'm trying the code posted earlier on so far so good it got past the initial freeze i will post back after i go through a bunch of actions give me bout n hour 2 test it

I think for CycloDS users, we will have to wait until sunday for them to release a patch fixing this AP issue.

Where does it say about fixing it for HGSS? Cant seem to find it

 

[Mana94]

Can you post the direct download link to the YSMENU that can play soul silver?

 

[Nixol]

Hi, something new ?

Actually, CycloDS users aren't experiencing anything too severe.
We just have random freezes that aren't too often. The game is overall, very playable.

I have an idea that just might work to fix for R4 (though im not a coder so i have no idea how to do it). On an original r4 it takes 22 events for something to trigger the black screen. If you can (or have) find out what the code is being executed that causes it to do this i think the best and simplest way to fix it and keep everything else working is to simply change it from 22 events to a number nearing infinity. This seems like an easier fix compared to just trying to completely remove it as that might cause some other mechanisms in the game to not work correctly.
