I was playing pokemon ash grey and went into the house of imate but when i went out side it froze my character! the waves and stuff were still moving though. Also when i went to see if the controls were wrong all the buttons were set to num pad 1 and when i try to change them, they quickly flash back to num pad 1! so then i went to play another game ive been playing for a while and when i went to load my save it went to a white screen. i checked several other games and they are all the same! Plus when i tried to just start a new game and not load any thing it just turned black and stayed there. someone please help me i really enjoy this site and dont want to download an emulater to play my games.

R0ady : Ash grey may have frozen because of an issue with the hack itself. Although I know some people have reported issues with the GBA controls getting stuck for them.

Leaving that aside. What games SPECIFICALLY have you tried that only load a black screen?

What web browser are you using? Firefox and Chrome work best for this website.

Try this game https://www.vizzed.com/play/legend-of-zelda-nes-online-nintendo-nes-748-game

Does it load?

no the game you provided did not load. the games that were black screened were ashs quest, pokemon frosty, pokemon fire red, and legend of zelda the minish cap. none would load in any way. i willl try deleting a few games to see if there are to many though---------------------------------------------------------- alright only gba games wont work other systems worked fine 

R0ady : FYI it helps if you reply directly to me so I can see when you post in this thread right away. Makes it easier for me to keep track and to help you faster.

So please clear things up for me.

The game I provided loads, and all the other emulators load fine. Except for GBA games? Or is the issue just that your controls are "stuck" for the GBA games? I just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly

Do you get any kind of error message?


Jordanv78 :

Although it's been a while, I played AshGray up until the hack ended. I personally don't remember any glitch trouble. I could be wrong since it's been well over a year since I beat it, but I'm pretty sure the ROM is fine.

Jordanv78 : actually the game you gave me did not load. gba games freeze and blank out immediately, the time the controls messed up were just after it froze on ash gray--------------------------------------------- I think i've figured out some of the problem. first off ash gray freezing may have been just the hack glitching, next the reason i couldn't change the controls may be to my num pad 1 key sticking so the computer thinks im holding it down. the games not loading were probably because i had way to many games because when i deleted some the games now load properly. to fix it i just need to not use the num pad 1 key in my controls. the one flaw in this theory is that i'm writing this and there arn't a million 1s popping up, still it would explain every thing

R0ady : Ok. Like I said before it may be an issue with the hack itself although I will have to do some looking around.

Also keep in mind that some users have reported an issue with controls "Sticking" on the Gameboy advance emulator for the RGR. So that may indeed be your issue and not your keyboard that's why I mentioned it to you. If your keyboard isn't typing a million "1's" while you are in other applications I would say the "1" probably isn't the issue although I could be wrong.

Also if you try to load a game in IE and another browser like Firefox at the same time you can get an error that crashes the plugin and makes it hard to load other games. This has nothing to do with "too many games" Users should be able to own thousands of games with no issues. Look at how many I have for example

Also, you said Zelda doesn't load for you. Do any of the games from other systems load for you?

Jordanv78 :  yes other games loaded. I played zombies ate my neighbors for Sega genesis and Mario rpg for snes. I still think its a sticking issue because I set num pad 1 to speed up and the game sped up without me touching the key board at all. Also I don't use 1 for any system I play other than game  boy games which may be why they were the only ones acting up. But I'm not minding any more because all the games are loading now and I switched the controls so now everything is fine. I'm just hoping it doesn't do it again but for now I'm gonna drop the issue. Thanks for the help though! 

Unless the AshGray ROM was updated in the past year, it wouldn't have caused a glitch like this.


tRIUNE :

He's dropping it, but I figured I might as well bring this to your attention just so you're aware.

I'm sending this to the RGR to get the RGR staff to look at this.

BNuge :

I hope you remember all rgr related threads are to be sent to the Retro Game Room. We even have a sticky about this in the Help forum.

RequiemHaunt :

Sometimes I leave them until it's resolved so that the people who are already helping can still find them. If I catch it early enough then I usually remember to move it.
