Pokemon - Heart Gold + Soul Silver crashing after opening the pokegear #1480

Closed WhoCloggedTheFunkinToilet closed 1 year ago

WhoCloggedTheFunkinToilet commented 1 year ago

Your console: 2DS XL running the latest version of Twilightmenu++ and the nds bootstrap

Launch Method: Launched through SD. It is not locked.

Version used: Release. v25.4.0.

Game tested/used/applicable: IPKE/Pokemon Heart Gold. EUR version

Expected Behavior: The pokegear menu would open up.

Actual Behavior: The game stays at a black screen, and only the music can be heard. Sometimes its a red screen with the music being paused. this makes the game impossible to beat because at certain points people will call you and it forces you to accept them

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open pokegear

The bug should hopefully be fixed in the next version.

RocketRobz commented 1 year ago

Please check if the bug is fixed in v0.66.0.

Hello, I'm having the same problem as the original poster and I'm on the latest version (v0.66.0). I have similar specs as them, but I can provide my logs and screenshots if needed.

Are you sure you're on v0.66.0? It seems to have fixed the crash on my side (though I've never checked on the version known to have the crash). Please check TWLMenu++ Settings to verify that you're on the latest.

If TWLMenu++ Settings shows v0.66.0, and the crash still occurs, then it may be caused by using either a ROM hack or randomized ROM. If you are using either one, then you'll need to manually AP-patch the clean ROM using DS-Scene ROM Tool, before applying either the ROM hack patch or using the randomizer tool.

fail7467 commented 1 year ago

20221110_214250-min Yeah, just double checked again to make sure I am on v0.66.0, and I'm also not playing on a ROM hack or randomized ROM. I've only tried Soul Silver, but I've tried 3 different versions to make sure it wasn't the ROM.

RocketRobz commented 1 year ago

Try downgrading nds-bootstrap to v0.64.1: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/releases/tag/v0.64.1

fail7467 commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the suggestion, however it is still crashing after the downgrade.

RocketRobz commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the suggestion, however it is still crashing after the downgrade.

Then either cheats are enabled, or somehow the issue has gone unnoticed for a while. Either way, please update back to the latest.

kalte-herz commented 1 year ago

I'm having the same issue. I just went through and checked that all cheats were off, and I updated to the most recent version, but it's still happening. It didn't seem to be a couple of days ago, as I'd used the PokeGear to check the radio station and it didn't crash, but it does now.

I am running in DS mode if that affects anything

aelita01 commented 1 year ago

Hi, I too had problems with the pokegear on soulsilver (ITALY) or that it crushes as soon as a call starts and most likely there is one of the cheats that doesn't work properly and sends problems to the card but by doing several tests I discovered (only on Rom Italy version) that gives problems with the Pokémon that you receive via pokemarket and the display of eggs and that you have to put the cheats before activating the game (I mean right at the beginning of the story). At the moment the cheats that don't give problems (for the ones I tried and that served me) are Max money, coins, bypass code, 100% catch, max all items, specific Pokémon level, specific wild Pokémon and play as Pokemon , object, trainer, etc. I haven't been able to try the others but I will most likely unlock them after finishing the story so as not to have problems moving forward. I have NDS.bootstrap version 0.69 for those interested. Ps: if you receive Pokémon by mail with WiFi codes they work fine!

gusbronk commented 1 year ago

I tested a save with the same symptoms in serveral emulators and they all exhibited the same behavior as NDS-bootstrap/twlmenu. I used cheats to give the event pokemon, I think this was the cause and it has nothing to do with NDS-bootstrap.

ForgottFoxxo commented 1 year ago

Having same problem as above, used some cheats, specifically the even pokemon ones, Max/unlimited BP and palace points, as well as used the 16x exp one. Cutting to the red screen when opening the poketech, as well as having a pinked out map when using Fly

RocketRobz commented 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the cheats have been the issue all along, as one of them has corrupted the save file, which in turn, causes the crashing when entering PokeGear.

That said, I wonder how the save corruption can be fixed without starting over or having a backup.

Masamune3210 commented 1 year ago

Probably the best way would be to back up the corrupted save, make a dummy save and get past all the intro stuff and then back that up as well, and then using pkhex to transplant everything from the corrupted save over to the dummy save.

I can confirm that this issue no longer occurs with a clean version of the rom. Unfortunately every English-language rom site I could find hosts the same pre-patched copy of this game in Japanese; you'll have better luck searching google for ニンテンドーds rom ダウンロード . To my Euro friends... good luck!

The clean rom runs just fine even when modified by UPR.

You can verify your .nds file is unpatched by checking the file's MD5 hash (plenty of free utilities to do this available on Google).
