ROM Hack Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver problems?

[Ribesg]

I proposed the part in bold on the romulation forums. My thread got locked for it being too speculative, but I believe there might be something to it
Please copy/past what you are speaking about

Squall Leonhart02260340 690B5DE3 apparently reduces / removes the random enter/exit building freeze.
no change for the battle and story event freezes.

Doesn't change anything on M3 DS REAL with Sakura 1.46X + 1.47h : after 3rd badge, always 3 events then freeze.

Spoiler

- It works 100% on AKAIO RC 1.6
- Tried to apply the JP fix : Fail
- Tried to move US files to JP one, to use that JP fix : Epic Fail
- Data folder from US was moved to the patched JP rom : Strange Result
- Tried to patch ARM7 with JP HG/SS one, Platinum one, D/P one : Fail
- Tried to patch ARM9 with JP HG/SS one, Platinum one, D/P one : Fail
- Defined "events" as "when you enter/exit a building/stairs/door or save or encounter a wild pokemon or start a trainer fight or end a battle (get back to the game) or when you end a cutscene"
- The number of events "needed" before the game freezes depend of the number of badges you have
- Replacing all the 00 00 00 46 in the rom by 00 00 00 00 : Fail
- Tried a VERY lot of AR codes : Some from JP, K fix... No one working
- Everytime the game crashes there is an access violation of dma at offset 56612
- Unchecking DMA and reset : Fail
- Inserting patched JP overlays : Fail, but increase the number of events before freeze
- Deleting overlays : Fail
- This match with the equation -(1/2)*x^3 - (5/2)*x + 24
- You replace x with the number of badges you have, and you find : 0 badges 24 events, 1 badges 21 events, 2 badges 15 event, 3 badges 3 events, more badges you have a negative value and the game do not want to load the save
- With this "events" needed we can think there is a countdown, each event add -1 to a var who doesn't support value below 1, that can explain the countdown crashes and the fact that the game won't start if the value is negative. If it's right, a AR code who lock this var must work...

rvd42387, you can repost this with correction if It seems that I'm busy for some pages.

now then as i mentioned on the previous thread everytime the emulator has crashed there has been an error at 56612 offset ive been trying to bypass it but without it you cant even log into the game the game has the original value at the offset at 07 and the other 2 that have been looked at towards fixing the code offset wise are
04000600, 02260344
now then if any1 has any ideas

\data\a\1\5 > 5 is 1 kb on the (U) and it's 87 kb on the (J)

could that be something or is it nothing

This may have been said before... but couldn't someone like... dissect the AKAIO firmware and find out how theirs works? I would, but I would have NO idea what I'm doing.

Impossible. It's encrypted.

These were tested a while back, and only remove black screen on no$gba I believe.

We cant do this... this has been disscussed often... and nobody could do...

By hexing, I found out some nice stuff:

[SDK+NINTENDOWC2.2.30008.080630.1906_DWC_2_2_PLUS8]
[SDK+NINTENDO:BACKUP]
[SDK+Abiosso:libVCT 1.3.1]
[SDK+NINTENDO:WiFi2.1.30003.0709200229]
[SDK+UBIQUITOUS:CPS]
[SDK+UBIQUITOUS:SSL]

SSL and CPS, isn't that the encryption systems? Also, I think this Abiosso is the AP software... not sure.
