the .ml* files aren't encrypted, they just contain all of melonDS's state

the save data might be in the NDCS section

the same issue can happen in the underground in Pokemon D/P/Pt which is where I first looked into this issue. See this thread: https://melonds.kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?id=278&page=1 and especially this post: https://melonds.kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?pid=2314#2314

what I did was to manually set that register back to value 9 so the processor would stop waiting on it to be this value.

Remember not enabling C-gear prevents this issue.

I don't think so, savestate files contain a bunch of emulator-specific state that would be a pain to translate to another emulator


also, are we doing savestate-fixoring black magic? that's dope

(although it'd be more dope to figure out the actual issue and fix it. I should look into it someday)

This is weird for me since I never had this issue and I used the underground multiple times without problems, but I have a friend that did get locked up in the underground.

the bug happeing is highly dependent on chance so it takes a while for it to occur. Also the JIT probably increases the chance of it happening.

it's the power saving thingy I've lamented over so often in the past. I mostly figured it out already, except during the init sequence (I've documented the results admittedly pretty badly here: https://melonds.kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?pid=2756#2756 ).
