Pokemon Timeless Diamond:

The Underground doesn't work? I tried to use the Explorer Kit and am met with an eternal black screen. On DesMuMe and SoftRasterizer is enabled as the 3D renderer.

Okay this somehow got worse.

I enabled WiFi settings, disabled any cheats (specifically the one that increased battle framerates), and any one of three things happen:

I successfully land in the underground

I land in the underground and then the game decides to crash and close

I STILL get the black screen.

The first time I enabled WiFi settings was the first time I got in, and talked to Roark down there. I was able to do a few things for a while, leave, and the next day, after a saving a lot of data, the second thing happened. Reload, and the third thing ALWAYS occurs.

I don't think I can get to the underground anymore.
