Pokemon Black 2 Can't Load

Post by SociallyAwk » Wed Oct 21, 2015 11:48 am

Trying to load up Black 2 takes me straight back to the menu. I've ticked Auto Trim Rom, and even tried converting it from a 7z to a Zip file (not sure if that would've worked, but I read it somewhere).

Can't find any fixes.. Help?

Running the latest version of paid Drastic, on a Sony Xperia Z3.

Try completely uncompressing the rom, or use the option in advanced to uncompress to file. I think the problem here is your device doesn't have enough RAM to load the rom to.

Tried using the option in advanced.. Didn't work.. I forgot to mention- I can run SoulSilver on here perfectly. Is it just impossible to run Black 2 on my device?

If it's not a problem with loading the rom to the RAM, the only thing I can think of is that the rom is a bad dump. Try to dump a new rom or find another one somewhere.

Unfortunately other Black 2 roms I find don't even show up as selectable on Drastic. Sigh...

The original rom I'm having problems with won't display the pokemon icon either, as SoulSilver does. It just shows the Drastic icon.

The browser not showing the icon is a good sign that the ROM is corrupt or otherwise invalid. The icon is stored near the beginning of the file and only that amount needs to be read (and if necessary, decompressed) in order to view it. So even if there was a problem loading a 512MB ROM because it's too large it shouldn't prevent the icon from displaying.

Welp. I can't find any roms that function like they should for either Black 2 or White 2. I give up.. Sticking with SS.

I always used this dump of PB2, probably downloaded from the same place, with no issues. Is DraStic's trimming reliable? It might be the reason. Download again, uncompress and either trim it on a computer or test it right away.

Me too, but I'm suspecting of DraStic's auto-trim. Dunno if smarthpones are as reliable as a PC for those operations.
