Nds-bootstrap: Zelda Phantom Hourglass freezing after purchasing shield

[Stack3r]

I played up to the point to where I was almost off the first island and when I purchased the shield the game froze with link holding an invisible item and the music in the background still playing

If this is AP, it's undocumented AP. I'm guessing something else is going on here that's causing it to lock up.

Same thing is happening to me. I'm playing a control hacked version and not the regular rom. Stack3r are you playing the regular rom?

[Stack3r]

Mine should be the normal version, it doesn’t have the dpad hack

Try To Ap Patch The Rom, If You Cant I Will Patch It And Send You A Link

[RocketRobz]

@LuisSant Just send the patch.
It is illegal to share commercial ROMs here.

[LuisSant]

Ok
I Will Send The Patch If I Can Find It, Do You Know How To Patch It?

[dubbz82]

As stated earlier in this issue, this game has no known AP measures....

[LuisSant]

Well It Could Work...

[LuisSant]

Well Your Kinda Screwed

I Cant Find The AP patch
I Can Try To Find It, But It Going To Take Some Time...

I Searched For Hours The Kirby Mass Attack Ap Patch
It Took Me Like 5 Days To Find It, So Yeah

nah this is an old game, I never heard of it having any AP protection

On version 6.0.0, set the ARM9 CPU speed to 133mhz (TWL). It fixed the problem for me on a regular 3DS with luma.

[DeathTBO]

I have an O3DS running 11.8, and DSI++ Menu is 6.0, with the latest NDS Bootstrap 0.11.2

It crashes when I attempt to buy the shield or get the shovel. However, if I set the ARM 9 CPU speed to NTR I can buy the shield with no issues. The shovel still does not work.

I normally run TWL CPU speed, Vram Boost off, and async prefetch off.

On a side note, Zelda Spirit Tracks doesn't load the train controls at all.

[shiftythefox]

@DeathTBO: If you don't have train controls in Spirit Tracks, then you need the rom patched. It's an AP measure in the game.

[DeathTBO]

@shiftythefox Thanks, I never had issues on DeSmuME or No$GBA. It's working like a champ now.

Phantom Hourglass tho...

[Plausible0Bug]

It seemed as of https://github.com/ahezard/nds-bootstrap/releases/tag/v0.14.0RC1

I can play this game properly.

I used to be stuck right after shield purchasing and later entering the shrine for the phantom sand.

Now I'm at the place where I search for a way to pass the fog, no problem so far.

I'm using twilight menu on my n3ds with luma3ds.
