Slow Game Saves in Pokemon Black 2

When i play Pokemon Black 2 on my Desmume, everything runs perfectly smooth. However, when i go to save, even tho i am successful in the save, it takes well over a minute to complete the task. Sometimes it works fast, but almost all of the time it starts to slow down as soon as it starts.

Normally, this wouldnt bother me, but this issue is affecting trading with my DS through Wifi Club. Everything in the Wifi club works perfectly fine, up until the last part, "Stopping Communications...". While in this window, the game slows down almost to a halt, and crashes both my DS and my emulator. I have battled myself several times now and have run into no issues, so i am 99% sure my problem is not internet related.


Are there any technical fixes as per saving games?

PC stats:

i7 2600 @3.4ghz
12gb RAM
Nvidia GTX 580

 

Hmm.
Did you start playing Black 2 through DeSmuME? As in, did you use another emulator or flashcard before using it with DeSmuME?

 

I only used DesmuME. I used the 64 bit version of the one that Prectorian links in his guide for Wifi.

 

Alrighty then.
Does this problem occur with any other games? Or just Pokemon?

Oh and biwot, there is no need to post a topic for your problem. I noticed you posted in the actual thread, so you will get help there.
Nevertheless, I'll still help you here.

 

Well i havent played any other game, mainly because i am only interested in PB2. That and the fact that the only reason its an issue is because of the trading issue.

I will try to do this with another game, though i dont know if the result will matter. The game itself runs exceptionally smooth.

And i apologize about the thread, however i created it because i figured it was more of an in game issue rather than a tutorial issue.

 

Well give it a go.
And no problems. But you can usually post problems in those tutorials if it has something to do with your problem. prectorian should be able to help you out when he gets the time.

 

My knowledge of DS games isnt very extensive. Do you recommend any games with a similar saving system? Or do you think i should just try White 2?

 

Yeah, White 2 is a good idea.
But most of the Pokemon games use similar (if not the same) saving systems. So you can use HG or SS if you want.

 

Yea i know that emulators arent perfect. Im not too crazy about the whole thing. Only thing is just this, everything works fine.

How do you switch to a different save type? I tried switching the extension but all it does is create a new .dsv file. I dont see the option in Path menu.

Im trying to find a White 2 ROM. Ill let you know hjow the save is when i find it.


EDIT: I just tried with Pokemon Platinum, and the same issue arrives, though its not AS noticeable. Its definitely there. You can REALLY tell the difference when you put the frame skip on 3 or 4, then try to save. The music slows down, Matrix style.

 

Definitely a problem with your emulator then.
As prectorian said, try updating your emulator (it will still work with Wifi):

See if that will work.
I would normally suggest this for changing save files, except it doesn't support DeSmuME. Changing the save files might be in the settings (DeSmuME). Take another look.

Oh and your computer specs are fine after a quick look.
And i7 processer and 12GB of RAM should be no problem (I run mine smoothly with 4GB and a dual core processor).

 

The new updated one is giving me the 20104 code, so im trying to fix it now. However, from the looks of it, saving is still really slow. Hopefully this new one works out, and you can add this as to fixes for trading.

After trying all the different firmwares on your list, and already having everything else setup, i am still getting 20104 code. havent been able to get passed it

Been trying to get both hte new updated one and the old one to work, but its not working. It wont get out of the 20104 error, and i had never gotten that. Tried all 3 firmware, in their folders. Nothing.

 

Ill try moving the firmware file to the battery folder.

I tried reverting back to the old way I had it, and now that also does not work. Getting frustrated.

 

DeSmuME SVN

Thry these builds: http://www.emucr.com/2013/01/desmume-svn-r4468.html

CPU emulation mood, use dynamic recomplender can speed up the emulation some what.

msvcp100.dll / msvcr100.dll may are maynot be need for the emulator folder.

Unsure about wifi on this build.

 

Will try it out tonight when i get home. Thank you.

Before i try Jhon's advice, i tried this to see if at LEAST i can get back to the way that i had... Nothing. Im still getting 20104, even after i went back to the exact same settings i had before. And i tried all 3 firmware's, in all of the folders. Im considering redoing the whole thing, because nothing is working.

Now im going to try Jhon's build and see if at least that works.


EDIT: I got the original version to work with wifi again, but hte SVN version, while connects to the internet, does not want to connect to teh nintendo network. Going to retry all 3 builds one last time. However, the SVN build was just as slow as the rest with regards to saving.

Well, im just going to say that i give up. Ive tried waaaayyy too many different ways to do this with no avail (at all). Only way it works properly (upto the stopping communication error) is with prectorian's original build, with one of the dfc files. The other builds either do not load the wifi at all, or crash while trying to connect to anything. If only GameFreak allowed people get credit for view pokemon through wifi battle. Then i could just fight the ones i need, then trade them on the GTS.


Thank you all very much, and i hope that there is a fix for this in the future. I dont want to have to take ridiculous steps just to trade a few pokemon.

 

Was this option enabed for more speed ? in red on image. , can give upto 50% more.

 

Yes. It was activated right from the beginning. Either way, your build didn't help me because the saves were still slow and wifi couldnt be connected. For now, I guess ill have to find a different eay to get the missing 4 pokemon I need.

 

I'm sorry for you, no$gba through no$zoomer is they most fastest methard.

Just no wifi sadly .

It's not my build, their , I would not know where to start making an emulator ;D
