Pokemon Pearl Help

Hey, i've been having some troubles trying to get pokemon pearl to work. Whenever i get to the first battle(which is right after you choose your pokemon) my game freezes once i win. I have tried changing the NDS Backup Media to Flash 256, Flash 512 and EEPROM 64 but it continually freezes. Im not sure if it is the Rom or even my emulator which is 2.5c. If anyone could help i would be grateful.

Use a newer version of your emulator. no$gba 2.6a is available, look in the Common Issues thread for a download link.

I downloaded 2.6a and i tried again and it still kept freezing, so i read this:

Game freezes at some or any point (or even loading) in the game: or, firmware freezes at any partFLASHCART: Backup all your files and folders, and then format your card. This makes it faster as they generally read slower later on in their life. If this doesn't work, your MicroSD etc. is most likely too slow. Choose a Kingston or Sandisk, since they are the best to choose from.EMULATOR: Nothing you can really do, except wait for a new release of the emulator you're using, or switch to another emulator for the meantime.
If the issue is because the game is running too slow, you can try lowering some of the outputs, such as the Audio etc, which may improve the speed. Also make sure to have a decent computer.

I dont really understand what the flaschart thing is.

Flashcarts are devices you plug into an actual DS that lets you play ROMs. That has nothing to do with the Emulators for your PC.

Oh ok then... well it still doesnt work and im pretty pissed because i've been trying to get it work after downloading many different pokemon pearl roms. Neither pearl or diamond work.

Weird. Diamond works just works just fine on the 2.6a version I have.Try using this emulator:

I'll try it out right now and give you the specs later if it doesnt work.Wow still doesnt work. Turns out that ive got 2.20 GHz and 1.96 GB of RAM with an intel core 2 duo CPU.

Where does it freeze at?Check your emulation settings and make sure they are set to "Auto".Also, did you download the files from this site? Or somewhere else that they may have been "patched"

Im pretty sure i did. I downloaded a lot of pokemon pearl and diamonds, all with the same result. Both backup media settings are set up as Auto. It just freezes at the first pokemon fight with a Starly after you choose which of the three pokemon you want. Once starly has 0 hp it just freezes.

Make sure your sound is on.

WOW, are you serious? Sound makes a difference?? I always turn it off and listen to music... Im gonna check it out.EDIT: Oh my gosh, thank you so much it worked. I didn't realize sound had anything to do with it.

Yes, it's because at the end of the battle, the fainting pokemon makes a sound, and if you have it disabled, it freezes :) You're welcome :)
