DS #5224: Sonic Colours (Europe)

[Rayder]

Yeah, the XXXX release (well, the one I have anyway) is .1MB short (63.9MB) of the 64MB file size of the iND release. Interestingly enough, it didn't show me that in NDS Header Tool.

Wah! We need an AP patch.

that 1mb could be a major file(s) that could make the game work.

or not work if it's not there

I just found a rom in a random site, and it's working and saving, great

 

[Mbmax]

Reported ok on EZ5i also (thanks megaman).

 

[Hero_Of_Fate]

The iND release definitely seems to work fine (and save) on the newest AKAIO firmware. Don't forget to turn "Bypass Anti-piracy" on in the options, though.

Save file not deleted after completion of Special Stage 1, so it allows you to continue without having to restart after you turn off your DS.
Also, unlocks Act 1 - Stage 2.

 

[xshinox]

AP enabled on my acekard2i with AKAIO 1.8.1 and it works perfectly.

 

[impizkit]

Thanks retrogamefan! What about the second stage being open? Is there a hex fix for that as well?

Does this also help the freezing after the first boss?

 

[Rayder]

The hex edit appears to fix it on CycloDS.....it saves and I'm able to access the next set of stages. Coolness! Now it's time to play!

Working on the M3DS Real, no problems. Thanks a million!

someone will make an IPS patch eventually...

 

[Man_Hunt]

finally the full version

already play the demo
the game is awesome :top:

 

[xist]

retrogamefan can't have made it much simpler, and i actually want to say thanks for making the beginners level hex guide that he included.

Just whack the game in any hex editor and take a look for yourself....honestly it's a doddle, and you'll surprise yourself how easy it is if you just try (plus learn a new skill!)

EDIT: retrogamefan's patch fixes online too, nice.

It's actually pretty easy. I forget what program people used, but back when 358/2 Days was released last year, people had to hex edit it. The program and guide was ridiculously easy. It looks confusing, but just try it. You'll see it's easier than it looks.

 

[ganonthesage]

Thank you VERY much Retrogamefan and Yuan!
This now officially works, though I haven't tried Wi-Fi!
