UPDATE even the Beta version didn't fix this bug it's still there and constantly pressing the Start button it'd move the text upwards and back to it's normal place like my screenshot
Resetting the game doesn't seem to help at this point...it's a bug that needs to be fixed.

Aha.. see what I meant?
When the screen reloads the bars jump up quite a bit. And I have applied for the group, I'm just waiting now.
Although when I download the beta version I'm assuming I'll be downloading an apk file? Will it just install as an update to my current DraStic application or as a separate application altogether?

Ignore my last questions I've figured it out on my own. Sorry!

Even if you obtain the BETA update madam it won't fix the bug...it might be something to do with emulator and it's passed onto the developers now...
You might want to post here so the developers can look into it for now.

Yeah I know but it never hurts to become a tester and help out for things like this.

This seems to be a timing bug, this will be fixed in the next update hopefully.
Confirmed that it's not the ROM that is the issue.

I'll see if I can look more into it sometime. If it's a very timing sensitive issue it might be hard to do anything about though :/

So I'm trying to fix this using the Lua code that was in the link that
Kyousuke753 linked to (
this post), and I named the file 'Pokemon
Ranger.lua' (my ROM is called 'Pokemon
Ranger.nds') and put it in the 'Scripts' folder for Drastic. I loaded Pokémon
Ranger, and it did nothing. I did a little bit more research and found
this, so I edited the script so it was
Code: Select all
function on_load(Pokemon Ranger)
local function AwesomeFn()
memory.writeword(0x04001012, 0002)
end
gui.register(AwesomeFn)
I launched Pokémon
Ranger again... still nothing. Can anyone help me with this, because I think that this may be the best way to temporarily fix the issue but I have no experience in coding with Lua, so I don't know what I may be doing wrong or if Drastic uses different code so this code won't work with Drastic.
EDIT: So, coming back to this a couple years later, and, with help from one of the original commenters on that SourceForge thread, I was actually able to fix it... kinda. It seems to have an issue with transitions (my guess is that Pokémon
Ranger doesn't actually render frames during a transition screen or something), so if you go through a door or transition to a new area the top screen will become all messed up again, but when the game is first loaded, and when the top screen is reloaded (such as by opening and closing the menu) the UI elements are actually in the perfect position. This is the script I've been able to make semi-work:
Code: Select all
function on_load(game)
end
function on_unload()
end
function on_frame_update()
drastic.set_ds_memory_arm9_16(0x04001012, 0004)
end
