Pokemon heartgold emulator freeze update#

Not overwrite what's already there, but clear out what is there, including configurations, caches, and etc. I'm not sure what's going on here, but the only recommendation I have (apart from using Unlaunch to bypass HiyaCFW, since I am not currently using HiyaCFW to boot TWLMenu, but it seems you are) is to back up and clear out all of TWiLightMenu and nds-bootstrap's directories before copying over the latest version.

There were no crashes, and I was able to do quite a bit of digging in the walls and running around. So, I've just gotten access to the Underground, but again, everything is perfectly fine. Launcher: TWiLightMenu v11.0.0, DSi ThemeД®DIT: Despite my initial findings here, I've encountered the crash. I'll pay very close attention to what happens in the Underground when I am able to access it.Д®ntrypoint: Unlaunch v2.0 (direct launch of TWiLightMenu, not via HiyaCFW)

Pokemon heartgold emulator freeze update#

I plan to do a full playthrough, so I'll make a habit of saving often just in case, and I'll update this post if I experience any crashes. It's strange that the game is so unstable in TWL mode, considering the compatibility list has TWL listed as the 'recommended' speed, but this has been my experience so far. I could not control the character and had to reset the console.ДЄgain, just leaving TWiLightMenu's nds-bootstrap settings alone, and running it at DS clock speeds with no VRAM boost, seems to work best for me. Even background objects that had animations stood still. As soon as my character was visible, the music would still play, but the game was completely frozen. But the full audio for the intro sequence still played, and it would just hang after the intro music stopped at the point the title screen would show.ДЄnother crash happened after I was able to successfully load a save. I pressed 'A' after the GameFreak logo to skip the intro sequence, and both screens cut to black. When running with the settings mentioned above, I once had the game completely black out on the title screen. I'm not sure which of these settings causes the instability, but it seems Platinum really doesn't like being played with any 'enhancements.' However, the game will freeze quite frequently if I run the game in DSi Mode with TWL clock speeds and VRAM boost enabled. I haven't reached Eterna City yet, so I can't test the Underground at the moment, but normal gameplay has seemed entirely normal. I just wanted to chime in that I've played about 3 hours of Platinum on TWiLightMenu v11.0.0, and nds-bootstrap v0.27.0, and I haven't experienced any such freezes.

Doesn't really seem to make a difference, but decided to specify this just in case.

Tried using different SD cards, different DSi's (one European and one from USA, thought it probably doesn't matter), thinking it might be just an issue with my devices or some other random corruption.

Freeze will happen eventually, however going into the underground area accessed with the explorer kit is a surefire way to get freezes.

Play a decent amount of time as you would normally do.

Boot up any rom (patched/regular/different region/etc.) of any of the main Gen 4 games (Platinum, Diamond, Pearl).

The underground area in particular is a good way to test it, as it freezes consistently there. Game freezes randomly after a certain period of time, and has only happened to me while in the overworld, not while in battle or while viewing the inventory (though maybe that's just being lucky). Game should play as normal without freezes, especially the underground area. Haven't played any Black/White 1 or 2 or HeartGold and SoulSilver roms, so I don't know if the problem is specific to these games in particular. If this issue only affects a certain game, which game is it?
