Heart Gold (U) Black Screen

    I've recently started playing Pokémon Heart Gold on my R4DS. I'm running the latest version of Wood R4 on it.

    I'll usually be able to play for anything between 5-10 minutes before I get a black screen during the transitions (ex: battles, entering building, etc.)
    I've tried the xDelta GUI Patch and the Universal Child's Play Patch. I've used each of those on separate clean ROMs, yet I'm still getting a black screen during transitions. I've looked around for pre-patched ROMs as well, yet I still get that same black screen.

    Accidentally posted two threads, somebody could just delete the other one. Sorry about that.

    1st Step:
    Get a Clean Rom (meaning unpatched)

    2nd Step:
    Turn off cheats and soft reset

    3rd Step:
    Run Your Game

    Hope this helps :D

    What exactly do you mean by soft reset?

    You have R4 original are clone ?

    If R4 original, YSMenu maybe your best bet for the clean roms only, They has been a resent new update in the DATs for DSTT/YSMenu R4

    I'm sure I've got an R4 Original, I could be wrong though. Well what I'm looking for is sort of a patch or something along the lines of that, that will help me get rid of the black screen.

    (Note) R4 original max MicroSD chip 2GB only, May have issues overwise.

    Download from any filehost WoodR4v1.43_YSMenuV5968.rar : http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/0SMPTIKU/

    Ok, Backup - Clean MicroSD chip

    Extract content of RAR to MicroSD Chip , Place games and saves into NDS Games folder

    Use the 100% clean ROM - Are if not clean would have errcode=-4

    Run 1. YSMenu.nds in nds games folder - Then load the game on YSMenu

    I've got about 4 cheats to improve the game's speed, and a few other minor ones like, any Pokémon can learn any TM/Hm, Random Encounters, etc.
