What I did was turn OFF fastROM right before APU communication, and then turn fastROM back ON right after APU communication completes. I spent DAYS trying all sorts of different things, until I thought of something a bit different (and much more simple). Like I said, I'm not very good at ANY of this, so I tried to think of a work-around for this issue. But I believe the APU uses an uploader that is very timing specific if I'm not mistaken.Īnyways, long story short, APU timings = slowROM check for ActRaiser 2. I know little about ROM hacking, and even less about the APU. The game loaded and played perfectly fine in fastROM with no black screens, albeit with no sound. This was proven when I completely stopped communication between APU and CPU (shut off sound). And he was absolutely on the right track! I'm not sure if anybody remembers, but Sluffy made a brief attempt at circumventing the slowROM check, unfortunately it didn't work.īUT! He figured that it was due to APU timings. Top and bottom line issues are from act2-0c patch. Needs confirmation that it's actually running in fastROM, I don't really know the exact differences to compare.
