[FIX] Fixed Heart Gold (U) (No$)

I apologize if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it.

THIS IS ONLY TESTED ON NO$GBA 2.6a
I have only passed the second gym, only 1 trainer loop.

If someone can upload SoulSilver with the Bios I will add it to this post

How:
http://wb3000.nintendo-scene.com/dsbuff.html
Used to Unpack the Heart Gold Rom
Find a file with the name Guru2
Delete it
Repack
DOWNLOAD THE NO$ BIOS BELOW
Play
This can also be used for Soul Silver.

Direct download of repack & Bios:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G0ZSKSY0

Troubleshooting:
IF YOU GET A BLACK SCREEN DO THE FOLLOWING
1. Open No$gba 2.6a (not tested on 2.6, but more than likely will work) and open emulation setup
2. change the drop down option on "Reset/Startup Entrypoint" to "GBA BIOS"
3. Press OK
4. IMPORTANT: Go to file and select cartridge menu (filename) Do not reset cartridge or it will crash

if you get the save file cannot be written or w/e
1. go to emulation setup and change
2. NDS-Cartridge Backup Media to FLASH 512kbytes (if you have 2.6a set it to auto)

Game may freeze randomly, use these to fix:

Code:

Pokemon HeartGold (U)fix code:
020DD9E4 E1A00000
020D3820 E1A00000

Pokemon Soul Silver (U)fix code:
020DE16C E1A00000
020D3FA8 E1A00000 

Make sure you load the ROM with GBA BIOS selected or it more than likely will not work.


What this did
I removed the AP from the ROM
This means that it should run with minimal black screening, trainer loops and other things that were happening before.
if this is not the case I can remove it, as I have only beaten the second gym I do not know if the full game is playable or not.

Minor Glitches:
Some times when transitioning to different buildings or zones the people become black squares, to fix this re-enter the zone or ignore it
Abilities like water gun and stuff look bad.

IF YOU SAVE THE GAME, AND THEN IN SOME WAY CRASH THE ROM YOUR SAVE WILL BE LOST.

 

This method will work on both SS and HG.
Sadly though, the game will still freeze at random point of the game.
I highly suggest to use an AR codes to fix the problem.

Thank you so much i did this and it works now +1

 

doesn't work for me

just got stuck on an endless loop on a trainer fight

 

I encountered a glitch when I was wandering around where half the screen went black. It worked flawlessly for about 40 minutes though, it's very much playable.

 

This works fine, but when I try to save the game, it always locks up. Before this download I would always get some "error" message. Now it trys saving the game, but it goes extremely slow, and after 5 mins I gave up on it.

 

Thanks it worked but only on Soul Silver for me couldn't get it to work on Heart Gold

 

Thanks a lot man!

 

I downloaded your repack & bios, extracted the bios in no$gba folder, ran the emulator, crated AR RAW cheat for HG, and it worked up to the character name creation, where it like always went black.

Is it because of different computer specs or mistakes in this configuration that makes it work for some and not for others?

How come it never works for me? Tried it on a laptop and on a desktop PC.

 

Try disabling the RAW.

 

Now my no$bga is not responding when run.

 

for the computer or for nds ??

 

This is for No$GBA, an emulator that runs on your computer.

 

ok

uh, i wish that pokemon soulsilver and heartgold went back to normal, so i can play normally like the other games T_T

 

You can modify the configuration file for No$GBA.INI file and change the entry:
Reset/Startup Entrypoint == -Start Cartridge directly

Make sure ti says Start Cartridge directly. If it doesn't, change it and save, then start No$GBA again (so it won't crash on startup anymore).

 

I am playing on no$gba, the only thing I have done is change the startup to BIOS and encrypted the rom. I have had one freeze through violet city. Does anyone know if I should still enter these codes? Will it help me in the future of the game with freezes? And how do I enter these codes on no$gba if they will help me?

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Enter the codes.

The GBA_BIOS method should only be used for HG/SS or other encrypted roms. Otherwise, it will freeze at startup.

 

I can't download the BIOS. =[ Site says it's not available at the moment.

 

It may have been reported and is in the process of being removed from the site.
