Pokemon Blaze Black / Volt White boots a white screen

Open GlazedBelmont opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

  • Device model: AYN Odin 2
  • Android version: 13 Problem:
    Pokemon Blaze Black does not launch, it's been a problematic title for MelonDS in the past, used to just white screen, they fixed it a while ago

(the desktop version of MelonDS runs it perfectly fine. tested with the artifact of this action) image

but here it's a white screen

Steps to reproduce (if applicable):

  1. Grab a copy of the patch and patch it to a US copy of Pokemon Black / White SHA-256 for patched full version: f8609c04a3492936c56bd4f90a4b08a68980d94ef42fc10e6a89c2ce0aed2218
  2. Boot the game and voila

I'd like to refresh this issue as of https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android/commit/106521ba8c7cf5f9ac2d2c00e67422bbba03eb70 .

Tested on 4 total devices:

  • AYN Odin 2
  • AYN Odin 2 Mini
  • Retroid Pocket 4 Pro
  • Retroid Pocket 5

still just a white screen, confused why this is the case tbh.

@GlazedBelmont Have you been able to find a workaround for this? I'm having the same issue on Pixel Fold 9 and I don't want to use retroarch :( It is even more weird that the original games do launch

Unfortunately no, haven't found any fixes

@GlazedBelmont Good news! I found a fix! Here are the steps:

  • Download a genuine version of the game (Maybe check beforehand if it work with the emulator) and patch it with the romhack
  • Go on https://hexed.it/ and open the newly patched rom
  • On the right side (Go to) type 0x12 - This is the address that determine if the rom is either DSI or DS
  • In the Hex editor itself, your cursor should be on a 02 change that to 00
  • Save as and you now have a fully working romhack! :D
