Seems like this is a reproducible issue.

Please post the cheats that you have active, and please post a crash report so we can better see what's going on.

I have the same problem with Heart gold it freezes but its not closed

[zeromus]

are you using OSX?

[Anonymous]

I can't access the start menu when I play pokemon platinum, when I press the buttons that are linked to the start and select they do nothing.

i need some help
my pokemon game just wont start. when i press load game it goes back to the intro to the game.
Its an infinite loop of starting

[zeromus]

You haven't defined an infinite loop. You press load. it goes to the intro. Then what? You can't press load again without resetting the game.

Everytime I walk into a pokemon in platinum, my game crashes! All I need is Rotom for my pokedex but it keeps crashing right before i encounter it. Any tips to help?

[zeromus]

save in-game. delete your cheats. close the emulator. delete any remaining cheat files. open the emulator. load from in-game save -- dont use savestates.

[Anonymous]

Hey your advice really helps! Thanks!

[zeromus]

Are you being sarcastic or did that actually help? I keep records, you know.

[Anonymous]

[Anonymous]

[zeromus]

reset and load from in-game save

[Anonymous]

I am having a problem loading my game and it ends up crashing my game

[zeromus]

stop asking the same question 5 times

[Anonymous]

My game crashes whenever I load pokemon black 2. It tells me to wait till windowa finds a solution

[zeromus]

stop using cheats, or downloading broken roms

[rogerman]

Closing, since this ticket has been abandoned by the original poster.

And for all of those users who are complaining about crashing -- none of that helps. What does help is if you provide us with useful information for tracking down the cause of the issue, such as giving us steps to reproduce the crash, or providing the specific cheat codes and scenarios in play during the crash. Since no one has provided any of that after all this time, this ticket has become increasingly pointless.

I am having problem with the pokemon platinum nds. After defeating the elite four and the champion the game freezes on the autosave screen. this happens everytime I repeat the process, and the emulator stops respomding after sometime.

[zeromus]

Did you cheat or use a randomizer?

[Anonymous]

Same issue here. No cheats enabled (default settings?)
It shows the first pokemon that makes it to the hall of fame and then it freezes there for me.

[zeromus]

Is that the autosave screen?

[Anonymous]

yes, how do i fix it
