SD Music Loader Bug

[Katakiri]

Whenever PT or Zelda/Sheik transforms, (or in PT's case; is forced to switch) the game freezes. It only happens when a music hack is playing.
It also freezes sometimes when I No Contest.

Does it happen to anyone else? And is there any way to fix that?

I could just take out the SD card while one of them is being used, but it can't be good to remove the SD card like that.

likely not a glitch.
do you have both the pcs and pac for zelda, shiek, pt, and pt's pokemanz?

It might also depend on the texture you have on Zelda/Sheik.
Such as dark sheik/Zelda freeze when transforming into them

[Segab]

to they make the game crash when you use the 2.1a code instead?

if they don't make the game freeze, then it's the code's fault. The version 3.5 isnt perfect.
if they still make the game freeze, it's the textures fault.

Chaotix says he fixed that. (Dunno if it's true since I haven't checked.)

Anyway, as to the original question, I'll just copy and paste an IM conversation I had earlier. Should shed some light.

(9:57:28 PM) Vyse: No, [the new code] has trouble loading things along with music
(9:57:31 PM) Vyse: Music loads fine
(9:57:39 PM) Vyse: It just messes with other things that load once the music starts
(9:57:42 PM) Vyse: Thus
(9:57:49 PM) Vyse: Battle portraits and transformations.
(9:58:12 PM) Shadow: That's what I meant.
(9:58:23 PM) Shadow: I believe that'll be impossible.

In other words, once the code starts constantly loading from the card (to play the music), maybe loading other stuff is too much of a strain? Or maybe it's just a glitch. *shrug*

Quote from PhantomWings on GSCentral:

"That was explained due to the fact that the SD reader doesn't support asynchronous reading - simply speaking, it can only read one thing at a time - therefore if a texture is being loaded and music is trying to be streamed, the texture is going to have to wait while the current block of music is loaded - and vice versa - thus causing a slight lag on loading times... There's not much I can do about it however."

Not addressing this problem, specifically, but it sure sounds like it's related, and a lot like what I said.

Like vyse said.
I can't load my battle portaits because of the code and it froze on me once while I was playing as PT.
Solution: Forget about either Music hacking or Using transformation characters.


Vyse this is off-topic but Do you by any chance have the code for those colored shields used in B+?

Try this, you guys. Latest version, not in the downloadable gct yet.

And no, I don't have it, sorry.

Damnit D: Thanks for 3.5 though.
I want the sheild code, those shields are sexy. >>

Edit:
I'm trying out 3.5
It seems to allow battle portraits and Transforming again.
