ROM Hack Pokemon HG/SS fix discussion

[browntown]

Working fine on R4 w/ YSMenu unofficial latest version. 1.17a07 No freezes.

How far in are you? Original R4DS or R4i?

he's lying, man.

Just caught that immediately after posting, What a dick.

I have a crazy theory on how this game might determine when to crash.
The formula I have come up with is:

-(0.5)x^3 - 2.5x + 24 = Events Before Crash

Where X is the amount of gym badges the player has.

This lines up with my test of 21 events before crashing after 1 badge and numerous reports of 24 events before crashing reported numerous times.
This also lines up with the 3 events reported by many players after defeating Whitney.
If someone could test this as to whether or not 15 events is correct for a player after 2 gym badges,
then maybe these numbers could help those who are delving into the hex decimals.

That or everything I just wrote is garbage

You are correct I have two badges and it took 15 events for a freeze

Uh... No? Try putting 8 there, that comes out negative.

I forgot to add that if a player has anymore than three badges the count would be negative.
I'm thinking that this would probably just cause the game to crash upon loading.
The reason I think this might be the case is because If I load up my JAP save, it immediately crashes upon loading and I have 16 gym badges on that file.
But IF this is true than it might mean a separate piracy check for each gym badge.
And this game has 16 of them....

 

[iAlex]

He has m3 real , he sais that before playing he use arm7 fix and then 0 freezes oO. Im gonna do the same thing

Yeah, but.. then it would be the arm7.bin file?

sorry I dont understand anything about that:S

I mean: then the existing arm7.bin file is the problem, if he just patched the arm7.bin file.

Your equation is consistent.
But with 4 badges, it would give -18 events.
Is it going to remove the AP? Or is it going back to 1?
Someone can try this with Pokesav? (Put 4 badges and test)

errr, no?

if you put an 8, the answer is 260 I think, but then this still wouldn't work because it should be less events to crash.
Edit: nvm the answer is -252.

I see, but I'm pretty sure we did get reports of people who got the 4th badge and it still worked.

Laxman:
^ precedes multiplication. So it's 8^3 and THEN multiplied by -0.5

Maybe. Im a r4 user so I will test in r4 and then I will tell you what happend

errr, no?

I think that IS how it works...i tried loading my 16 badge jp save...black screened...tried loading a no badge save, flawless....

 

[afro193]

Maaaaaan.

I read everyone saying theirs doesn't crash ever with AK2i and AKAIO 1.6RC but mine just did. Oh well...

You missed the big fat - before the 0.5

 

[Souldragon]

Can anyone please try this set of code.

I'm testing it right now and I'm going in and out the house 25+ times now..

nvm.. doesn't work

False. It's -0.5

Ah, forgot that...woops.

I think it would be better if someone with 4 badges could confirm for us.

Also, even so, I'm pretty sure there's other equitations that would work, and EVEN SO, what does this change anyway?

Souldragon:
Consider it tested on M3 real.

You'll need the R4 Cheat Code Editor. I recommend the one made by Yasu.

 

[twiztidsinz]

I was assuming the "-" was an indent...
Otherwise, the answer is -300

-(0.5)x^3 - 2.5x + 24
-(0.5)8^3 - 2.5*8 + 24
-(0.5)512 - 2.5*8 + 24
-256 - 2.5*8 + 24
-256 - 20 + 24
-256 - 44
-300
