Was there ever a fix for the HG/SS crashing after the 3rd gym?

[SilentStalker]

I believe I've already patched it with the Rudolph patch, as well as use an AR code to be able to save. Emulator used is no$gba 2.6a

Because, this game seems to be a little unstable, I've been doing the tedium of saving often and restarting the emulator to ensure the save file is updated. But everytime I save after the 3rd gym, the rom crashing seems to be more often, even crashing while I'm saving the game.

The one pokemon game I want to play(as I've never officially finished Gold all those years ago, only reach Karen before I gave up) and I've having plenty of difficulty with it. T_T

You could just use another emulator?

The freezes/crashes tends to be happen frequently on No$gba as you advance more into game, and mostly noticeable after the 3rd Gym, there are no permanent solution for it yet, except to switch to another emulator, such as DeSmuMe.

Before that, try playing the game with No$Zoomer, and on the Cheats window, enable the RAW option for the AR Codes.

In all honesty, using another emulator is the last thing I want to do. I did contemplate on using DeSmuMe just for this game, but I wanted to reconfirmed first whether it's no$gba problem or emulation problem. Does it crash less, if ever at all on DeSmuMe?

It was the compatibility issues between the game and emulator, some people managed to finish it by just using No$gba with No$zoomer,
DeSmuMe doesn't have any issues when playing the game, it just, well maybe some people prefer No$gba over DeSmuMe due to the speeds it gives, if that was the reason.

But, yeah, switching to DeSmuMe is recommended, if there are no way to fix the problem.
