Heart Gold (U) Black Screen

I've recently started playing Pokémon Heart Gold on my R4DS. I'm running the latest version of Wood R4 on it.I'll usually be able to play for anything between 5-10 minutes before I get a black screen during the transitions (ex: battles, entering building, etc.)
I've tried the xDelta GUI Patch and the Universal Child's Play Patch. I've used each of those on separate clean ROMs, yet I'm still getting a black screen during transitions. I've looked around for pre-patched ROMs as well, yet I still get that same black screen.

1st Step:
Get a Clean Rom (meaning unpatched)2nd Step:
Turn off cheats and soft reset3rd Step:
Run Your GameHope this helps :D

What exactly do you mean by soft reset?

You have R4 original are clone ?If R4 original, YSMenu maybe your best bet for the clean roms only, They has been a resent new update in the DATs for DSTT/YSMenu R4

I'm sure I've got an R4 Original, I could be wrong though. Well what I'm looking for is sort of a patch or something along the lines of that, that will help me get rid of the black screen.

R4 original looks like thisThen i can upload for you a woodr4 and ysmenu build comine to use, If you have this ?(Note) R4 original max MicroSD chip 2GB only, May have issues overwise.

Yep, that's exactly what I have. And if you could do that for me that'd be amazing, thanks!

Cilerba · #3What exactly do you mean by soft reset?

i dunno much about it but soft reset and cheats may cause black or white screen for games, well thats what i read
it causes distractions

I'll still be able to play with cheats, right? o__o

PS: You could also try and format your microSD chip .

I've got about 4 cheats to improve the game's speed, and a few other minor ones like, any Pokémon can learn any TM/Hm, Random Encounters, etc.

turn off all your cheats and reset and play the game
