Ihave codes from reobtaining the Johto and Kanto starters as well, but I haven't tested them and assume they probably won't work either. I believe I got them from the same locations as I got the hoenn starter codes. So I'd like those codes for the US version too.
PS: I did the event where you trade a fortress for "iron" with Steven. I think that event comes after you get a hoenn starter from him. I don't know if that will impact whether or not the code will work, or not.
I'm in Saffron city, outside of the huge office building, only one pokemon on my belt. I boot up the game with the codes, click start+select at the same time, then walk into the building. The building is, of course, empty except for the woman at the counter and the police officer at the elevator. I tried walking around to activate the event or clicking a to see if he's invisible and I need to talk to him, nothing worked.
If you want, I'll through up a YouTube video, beginning with me entering the soulsilver-loaded action replay into my DS, booting it up, showing you the accuracy of the code, and the failure to get the Steven 3rd gen starter event via ANY activation.
I've done nature modifiers, shiny modifiers, max items, all TM/HM, max money, et cetera. All work immediatly. Never even had to re-enter the code, always get them right the first try: even the long ones.
It was automatically detected by my action replay, but I double checked it on some forum somewhere just in case, and it was what was posted there. But it's not what YOU just posted here. I'm afraid to change it for these reasons (works with other codes, was automatically detected, and independently verified), but I guess I can always change it back. I'll try the code you put in and see if it works. If it doesn't, I'll show you a Youtube video showing the code I've entered and everything working except for the Steven Stone starter thing.
There is something in the code that is preventing it from working in a CERTAIN circumstance. Otherwise it would work for all of us or none of us. There's something different in my file from most other files that is preventing the code activation. I can't read or understand your code, so I can't logically figure out what it is.
Is there ANOTHER block or event "switch" that tells the game that the event already too place? Is there another event or situation in the game that can tell Steven Stone to not show up? There must be, or else it would work. We're missing something.
After reading his post......and maybe before that i got the feeling that he did not hit all the flags necesary to meet steve for the first time....: You must get the copycat girls item back then meet steve in vermillion city and then have the national dex and then he must show up in saffron city for the first time and ask you for a stone to obtain....then after you get the first "legal" starter you should use the cheat code and then enter the buillding and it should work.....!
The first time I got the Hoenn starter I got it legit, so I know I originally got all the events completed to allow Steven to appear. I got all the badges, got the national pokedex, beat the elite 4 the second time around (after 16 badges), defeated Red, and did all the Copy Cat girl stuff. Just in case you're wondering about any of that. Hum, maybe I'll check to see if any of the copy cat girls events repeat or anything weird...
I kinda doubt that any codes I've used screwed up the events allowing for Steven to appear, since I haven't entered any code since I got my first Hoenn starter from him. If a "bad" code I entered is what's screwing Steven up in this new code, then wouldn't it have screwed up my legitamite obtained hoenn starter? I DID actually enter the duplication code after I got my first Hoenn starter, but that was long after I was already having issues with this infinite steven stone starter code.
Anyways: Yes, I manually enter all my codes directly into the action replay on my DS. It's sometimes long and grueling, lol. I have no idea how to copy paste them into the code manager, I cannot find the option to do that anywhere. It all looks very simple and limited.
But don't worry, like I said I checked the code over dozens of times without exaggeration. And I've never made an error before. Even my friend Jenner (who can look at codes like these and even tell me what certain lines mean) looked it over.
Alright, figured out how to do it. Wasn't that hard. I didn't want to do it because somehow I remembered a long time ago whenever you added codes this way it wiped everything else on your action replay or something.
For some reason the back of my mind keeps telling me it's because I didn't that Steven event AFTER you get the hoenn starter from him. It's in the same building. You trade a Fortress to him for "Iron." This event only occurs after you get the Hoenn starter. I have the feeling that it marks the over event as having occured. Or "flags," it, or whatever. What little I know about codes comes from when I made games in RPG Maker 2003, lol. Event switches. If I made the Steven Stone Event, I'd made it end with an event switch that makes it so he doesn't reappear to give you another starter, right? What if I put that same event switch (or a SIMILAR event switch in effect) after you complete the Fortress-for-Iron trade? Then if someone wanted to hack the game I made, the action replay code would have to reset/overrule both event switches.
well....riolu has an reset all event-flags code....that let you play the game from the beginning......maybe that would help.....but why did you not use the code directly after gettinsome mudkip or whatever you took?
I just got my Dsi Action Replay today. I took it home and put it in to my Dsi with soul silver in the action replay. I checked off the cheats I wanted and pressed start game with codes then the title thing played and it went to the options screen. I chose my file and the screen turned white and it played the title screen again and then I went to my file and pressed a and it started and it went to the game but the cheats didn't work. What happened and how can I fix it?
Please do not use this box to ask a question, it will be rejected - this box is for answers ONLY. If you want to ask a question for this game, please use the ask a question box which is above on the right.
You really might want to consider taking this question to the Action Replay forum. You'll have a lot better luck getting a good answer there, seeing as there are people there that know a lot about the action replay. Just start a topic there, and ask the same question you did here. Should get a good answer within a day or two. I'll provide a link to the forum, if you need it.
I'm no expert on the action replay, but have you tried using less cheats? Maybe it's too many and that's what's messing it up.
Having the same issue....it reboots twice (it asks you if you want to boot the game w/codes, you say yes, it restarts-when you press Continue to continue previous games, it reboots, losing all cheat codes.
How is it so many are having problems w/this one? What is the solution?
1) delete all codes and start from scratch manually?
2) uncheck some codes, and see if any work?
3) where do the code combos go? on the PC program that manages the Action Replay?
I have a fix but you have to use a DSlite for this to work with the AR DSI and Soul Silver. Remove the GBA slot insert (or any game you have in that slot so the slot is totally empty). Start the DSI with the AR and Game in the slot...select your codes, load and bam. Worked for me just now.
Well you just TAKE OFF the pokegear code then it won't go to white screen or anything like that all your codes put on will work but if that doesn't work you have to many mabey if it's not any of those go to the thing online and hit the icon and hit action replay reset ok=D
This just happened to mine, using a DSi ar and it was weird because it worked on my friend's soulsilver but suddenly stopped working on my heartgold.
FIXED IT by turning off all the codes other than the one I wanted, the exp code, and it seems to be working now. One of the codes I didn't know was on was for pokegear color, so that might've been it.
