"But it doesn't work"

Not necessarily true. If it only upped it to 28 or 30 events I'd be tempted to agree with you, but in this case it ups it from 24 to 70. That sort of thing doesn't happen just by screwing around with the rom. The AP is in more than one place so apparently this patch hasn't removed the AP in it's entirety but it has removed a good portion of the AP.

From what I've heard the AP seems to be less of a rom-based-problem and more of an issue with the way that the flashcards allocate memory and Nintendo saying, "Hey, well that's interesting. . . If we program the game like 'this', it turns out that it causes 'these' flashcarts to crash. . . We should base our AP on this. And it shouldn't be fixable unless they change the way they allocate memory with a firmware upgrade (which obviously won't happen for R4 and some older carts)". I don't know exactly how this patch works but I suppose it changes part of the code that's supposed to exploit a flashcart's memory allocation method.

In any case, this does seem like progress being made towards a completely working patch (which is surprising, because I thought it couldn't be done with a patch and would only happen through firmware upgrades).

The US Rom does the same thing for me like for everything else. Still freezes but not as often.
Is the freezing still badge based? I have no save game so I couldn't test.
The patcher doesn't patch EU Roms. Kinda wierd since the AP is the same....

Rockstar, Rockstar...it says "updated" in red above download link. Megaupload is merely a mirror for MediaFire link. You must be tired!
