as much as i knew people love pokemon, 111 fricken pages in 2 days. wth!?!

 

[Mana94]

UH OHHHHH! I THINK YOU'VE MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING!

 

[PK Strike]

A dumping error related to the AP possibly? Perhaps intentional?

 

[purechaos996]

hmmm....on no$gba, every time i enter/exit a building, on task manager, it says no$ is taking up more and more ram...EVERY SINGLE TIME...could it be that the DS phat/lite+flashcart ram can't handle the game? My sis's DSi with r4i-sdhc works flawlessly without any modification to the rom.

That sounds more like a memory leak issue with your PC. unless you mean that it takes up more ram to load then goes back to normal.

It doesn't for me. It does increase over time though.

Guys, these webchats you are linking to are all pretty awful. IRC is much better for this.
The server is irc2.gbatemp.net:5190 and the channel #HGSS

For the folk who don't know how to use IRC, go here:
http://wbeuk.mibbit.com/?server=irc2.gbate...channel=%23HGSS

If you do not contribute, you will get muted. I'm hoping we can get some actual discussion going on here.

It won't let me in, says I'm reconnecting too fast, even though I didn't connect in the first place =/

And yeah, the other chat is full of trolls

Odd. Try again in a minute or so.

Can't remember if this was suggested or if it works this way but..
SoulDragon saying he is comparing the hex of the (F) version and (U) version made me think that would it be better to compare the clean rom of a (J) version and just note the different code since the AP was changed and everything else should be the same (?)

I think I probably made such a noob comment I don't realize it but yea...

There many thing that is the same and change but it may not be the hex issues since the game run perfectly fine.. it might just be the DMA over 8bits crash.

Took a look at the hex and there are over at least 100 hex values is the same due to the text character etc.. like for example. Header hex is the same but instead of a E its a F for the french version

Ahh..right...And when you mean DMA over 8bit crash... Would it be a problem with the dumping or and issue caused with the AP?
Chances are there is no AP at all but a dumping error?

This is just a theory.. but when you experience those freeze crash thing, it bascally the memory of something is trying to dump the image but instead of dumping a good set of value that make up the image. One of the value that hold it together or one of value might be overflowing causing the game to unable to read what type of value the image should be display therefore you get a black screen with music running..

It just a theory tho

[Trauron]

Hmmmm now what could that file possible be I wonder? you should try adding it to the USA rom and see what it does.

Dude, the extra file is in the USA version, the japanese version doesn't have it. :b

 

[aizen000]

Hmmmm now what could that file possible be I wonder? you should try adding it to the USA rom and see what it does.

[Anacobra]

Maybe if we deleted it and repack the ROM...

Eh, guess I'll try.

The USA rom has the extra overlay.
Keep up the good work guys.
