Pokemon SoulSilver bug.

Post by Rocha9494 » Sat Nov 04, 2017 3:56 am

Hello people, how are you? I bought Drastic emulator in the Playstore exclusivelly to play a Pokemon Game (anyone from the first generations), so I downloaded "Pokemon SoulSilver" and it was fully playable till this bug apears. If I cross a tunnel the game crashes, If I enter to the Pokegear the screen gets all black...I can not do something to fix it, I restarted the game too and nothing happened.
Please, if you know a way to fix it...just tell me, I have payed for this emulator...it is supossed that the game should work fine.

BTW: My smarthphone is a Moto G3 (2gb ram) with Android 6.0, and the version of the Drastic is the last one (r2.5.0.3a).

Thank you very much!

it has nothing to do with the emulator.

The pokemon games have built in Anti-Piracy protection from Nintendo themselves. You have to patch the ROM or download a Pre-Patched version.

I highly recommend Storm Silver (its essentially a ROM hack.of Soulsilver, but has all 493 pokemon and other tweaks, as well as all the necessary patches for anti piracy)
Devices running Android:

- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (CM12.1, overclocked, undervolted)
- Asus Nexus 7 2013 (Stock Marshmallow...to play Pokemon GO on...)
- Tenfifteen QW09 SmartWatch (Kitkat)
- Fujitsu Lifebook T4410 Touchscreen Laptop (Remix OS 3.0)

Okok I understand, do you know if I can pass my savegame to the new rom?

Thanks you!

I downloaded the Storm Silver rom and it happened again, as I entered to the gym in Ecruteak City the game started to do the same...

From the image provided, I can tell you are using cheats. Some Action Replay cheats can be permanently written into the save file. The issue maybe caused by a glitched save file. Check if disabling cheats will help. If that doesn't work, use a Pokémon Soul Silver .sav file that can be found online. Then try to replicate the event. Please report your findings, here.

How did you guessed that? I couldn't notice any cheats being used by just watching an image.
OBJECTION!

Try using an official BIOS & firmware. Name them nds_arm7.bin, nds_arm9.bin & nds_firmware.bin. Place them in storage/emulated/0/drastic/system . You can get various .dsv files for Pokémon Heartgold that might enable you to bypass or even get past the event. Name it to the same as your current .dsv file after making a copy & storing it somewhere else of your original one. So you don't lose your progress if this issue is an app glitch. I wouldn't wanna lose my progress too. Worse case scenario, backup your current save & see if starting a new game will help. What are your settings?

Where should I replace the save game? try to find the location by connecting the cell phone to the computer, but the files are .dsv, and the ones I download are .sav ... I'm confused sorry!


Thank you!

A web search Pokémon Heartgold .dsv file download may help you. Use .dsv since it is the same format used for DraStic save files. After making a backup of your current one, place the new save in storage/emulated/0/drastic/backup. To be used a test run for whether the issue is a compatability, corrupted save file or even your settings.
