Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

It loads up on my R4 with 1.55 firmware on my dsi
it loads up on my AceKard 2i witAKAIO 1.5
it loads up on AKAIO 1.5.1 without updating the loader, not tried with latest loader
it loads up on AKAIO 1.6

Thought I'd post thisinfo beforeplaying it fully, if any issues arrise, I let you know

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

not having any problems, the AP on the (J) version kicked in about every 10 min. and ive made it to 27 min with Acekard 2i with AKAIO 1.6, so i think its exactly the same as the (J) version, which is already fixed by the AKAIO team.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

No$GBA has a black screen after the intro.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

On NO$GBA v. 2.6a, it froze once you got done picking a character, name, etc. Black screen.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

with akaio 1.6

can vouch for seph, running akaio 1.6 atm for past 30 min and havent hit the ap freeze yet.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

I think it's a bit early to rule out any card for the freezes. They were completely random in the JP versions, so I'd expect the same here.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

Black screen/partial black screen and froze at the first town on my R4 with the latest firmware.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

Im about 20 mins into the game on my R4 and have gotten 1 freeze.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

cant load my sav......

using r4ds

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

Seems to be working perfect. Ive healed in a Poke' Center and bought a potion form the Market. No freezes. Using CycloDS with 1.56 Official firmware

EDIT: Just saved and loaded, it really is working 100%!!!

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

Running fine so far on my acekard2i Akaio 1.6 update. Been playing for about 15 min no problems what so ever.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

Surprisingly, it works fine on R4DS v 1.18 without YSMenu!

EDIT: I've been playing for about 30 mins without a single freeze.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

M3DS Real - Cannot save. Does get past name screens and allows you to play the game. Same problem as Nocash's backup memory error.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

Froze about 15 minutes in.

I'm using an R4DS
With YSMenu

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

Acekard 2i (HWID 81) with AKAIO 1.6 RC1, loads properly, no clue on the in-freezes yet 'cause I've yet to go past the title screen, just wanted to confirm I'm not getting a white screen.

 

Re: Pokemon HeartGold (U) Release

Working perfectly on Ysmenu (R4 1.19).

 

It SEEMS to be working on my DSTT, no freezes yet.

 

works 100% on no%gba 2.6
