[Artix]

Darn. I thought I had it this time :/

Guess we'll just have to keep trying...

Much appreciated doctor

Keep on trying, my friend.

Could you guys test this one? This code is a lot more aggressive, but I just want to see if I got the 3rd AP check this time or if there's yet another one.

I found a routine in 02260xxx this time. Weren't some people reporting addresses in that range earlier?

I have no badge, yet it freezes after ~24 events. R4 clone here

So...I have been sitting and watching this and the last topic from beginning to end,and I have to say a few things
First all,im using No$Gba 2.6a with No$Zoomer

I played the JP version(SS) when it was released perfectly,only using the code to stop the black screen,and there werent any freezes whatsoever
This was not a patched version or anything...the orginal ROM

Now,I see a lot of you complains that after the 3rd gym,the AP kicks in a lot more
...I have already beaten the game just a few minutes ago(challened Red at Mt.Silver) and the AP was the same from the beginning to end,and again-original ROM and not any patches,and this time it was without any codes

Now,I want to ask something-can anyone check on No$gba if the game crashes using this code(disable black screen) and starting cartiage directly? (not the "GBA BIOS (Nintendo Logo)" option)
020DE16C E1A00000
020D3FA8 E1A00000
I would check it but I need to go to sleep now so...it's up to you

to those who are scowering the hex values i just want to say thank you for the hard work

 

[Eruonen]

Shouldn't these codes be tried with new saves, rather than existing ones?

Alright after 45 mins of spending with ARM 7 and ARM 9 disassembler on deSmuME.. I came to a another theory again.


First let start with the there seem to be two different set of issues I ran into..
One is black screen with music playing and the other one black screen frozen music.

From my understanding after viewing the ARM 7 and ARM 9 disaasembler.. the offset of 02260344

The game first started with the offset value 02260344 set to 02260344 00000000 with the R0 as all 0 which is the intro.
After you choose your save or ingame itself. The offset 02260344 set to 02260344 E5986848

with the R0 on the side give out a squence numbers of value and it seem to pass along with other offset.. (I'm not sure which one of the offset it pass along with)

When the game frozen and music still playing.. The offset of 02260344 E5986848 with R0 change to 0000001F

This is all what I experiences.. I could be totally wrong.

Now the other issues with the game is when it's completely frozen with the music frozen.. the offset of 02260344 E5986848 with R0 change to 00000000 and the 04000600 GXSTAT values frozen. if it was still running the 04000600 GXSTAT values will change in a squence set of numbers

how would u beat it if it came out thursday?

 

[Delta517]

Has anyone looked into what the no$gba code those?

It has to be something in there. The same goes for AceKard...

 

[Nanis23]

how would u beat it if it came out thursday?

Playing on maximum speed all the time?

buy the game.

The whole point of this is because people do not have 35 dollars to just throw out for a game, whether or not it's worth it. I am currently unemployed and am short for cash, so any help from these wonderful people to attempt at finding a fix is, by far, wonderful. So, just because you have 35 dollars to buy this games does NOT mean others do. In short, stop being a troll.

I'm going back to the original patch fix for the Japanese version and seeing how that one was patched and finding similarities in the US version. Has anyone else tried this? I don't want to continue on if people have tried this, and have not been successful.

Doctorr that was suggested earlier and was checked on thursday night the problem is the AP is so different between the 2

 

[Mana94]

Good find SoulDragon!

Maybe this will help us out

 

[macky301]

The NO$GBA code isn't immune either Delta517. It gets passed the black screen but the guys in here are beyond that at this point. They're trying to find out what makes the AP kick in after the 3rd badge and a way to prevent it. Not sure how Acekard did it though.

Thanks for the quick reply, I thought so. Souldragon may be on to something, so I'll possibly hop on the band wagon and start doing tests similar to his.

 

[FlashX007]

it kicks b4 3rd badge too

 

[rvd42387]

Shouldn't these codes be tried with new saves, rather than existing ones?

The save wouldnt make a difference the AP is in the game itself not the save files and in goldenrod city the AP gets worse so its a quicker test but there have been people trying with clean games and its not working for them either eruonen

 

[baldymcbald]

i just noticed at offset 020d9c08
it seems to be doing calculations this could be 1 possible location of the ap

 

[Doctorr~]

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=213...3&st=0&

This has been proven to only speed up loading speeds and does not prevent freezing.

 

[jxthemafia]

as i said before cant ackard firmware be coded in the game hex in order to prevent it from freezing just aguess

 

[Nanis23]

Again,how come I was not affected by the AP more often after the 3rd gym like you guys did?
It's weird
