I'm playing just fine on my Acekard 2i.
Would it freeze or something later on the game? S:

it freezes at random point in time. could be 1 minute could be 20 hours.

Wait i dont get it... Why does it work on the Acekard 2i?

 

[Lacius]

The freezing isn't random. If you go in and out a building, it will freeze after the exact same number of times.

it works and is playable on almost all cards, but its the freezing issue that is the problem.

happened 4 times to me and it seemed pretty random, one was exiting a building, twice in the grass and once in my bag menu.

How does someone go about fixing this problem?

For kicks I disassmbled Rudolph's patch. That ain't for the US version, its code specifically mentions the Japanese IDs (and only the Japanese IDs), that would be why its not working. So yeah. In case someone is going to be clever (but not too clever) and try and change that with a hex editor, different language versions usually have different offsets, so you're unlikely to achieve much beyond corrupting the file even if you get the patch to run (especially since carts that already patch for Japanese AP don't break this).

What about grabbing the fix for tha jap games and modifing the patch for the freeze.

that's what i figured, as i had said a few posts before. Thank you for doing the work to confirm it.

So that means we need to make a tottaly new anti piracy hack... As i stated before how can you make one?
How did they make the japenese one?

I would totally do that if I had any idea how.

hope that Rudolph will make a patch for usa version.

I'm using YSMenu for R4 and I confirm that it does work, but every now and then it would freeze.
SAVE REGULARLY!

 

[iandykins]

Dammit. I thought I was lucky. Game just froze. ;;

 

[C-Kronos]

I can confirm that the CycloDS is having issues. It froze right as the battle was beginning for someone in Sprout Tower. This is on Soul Silver, I'm going to guess it's the same for Heart Gold. We need an AP patch x.x, one that actually works.

 

[toejam316]

does this AP patch work for Ez-Flash V/V+/Vi users running RC13?

 

[Zurren]

What's that about a code that fixed the random crashing in NO$GBA, for the Japanese versions?
Did anyone try it with these ones?

[EDIT] Thank you, and sorry for my lack of patience.
[EDIT2] Oops, forgot to ask what code was it.

The code wont do much good, they're for addresses located in the Japanese versions of the game. If you can locate the addresses in the US version and change whatever needs to be changed, then it's probably possible. Until then, we have to wait.

yes, read the thread. the english version needs new code

Well... I came across an interesting thing... >.> Was walking to the first city (after going back to Prof. Elm and talking to the cop and such) and as I got to the city, that area was just all black. And then as I was typing this I went to look at the sign cuz I forgot the city name and it froze xD
