New 1093 - Super Mario Advance 4 (J)

[torN]

Is this playable in Japanese? :/

Screw this dump. It will stay on my back-up CD for kicks, but I won't bother to flash it. Why would they screw it up like they did? I just can't understand it.

I agree, this is just a sloppy job.

Very much so,since the story is the usual "Koopa kidnapped the good-looking princess and the moustached plumber has to save her once again

"

Besides that,I still reckon that SMB3 is the best Mario-game ever.As a nostalgia freak,I love it and Nintendo has all the rights to re-release this one for the younger gamers.Stop complaining if you`ve already played it.No-one forces you to play it and there are tons of other platformers on the GBA also.Even though,I think it would be a nice time to finally release a new Mario-2D-platformer.You know,it`s been a pretty long while since

I suspect this will be ok if its the only game on the cart, but try and get this working with multiple games will cause probs. Not sure if it will be possible to patch this game to save in one 512kbit slot. Might be another pokemon as in you'll have to buy it if you want to play it properly on hardware

it seems to freeze when u hit start and go to the 3rd option on the map screen

 

[NeoBahamut]

Yay! Mario 3

Man! I remember the battles between 2 players in the game
that was FFFUUUNNN! I wonder if it exists in this version

 

[Squiffy]

Everything seems to work ok when you start with reset on pogoshell.
It keeps the saves and everything. My only nag with it is that you have to restart the world you are on when you save

Ah well it probably keeps the challenge high!

 

[Magus]

sez that put the gba in sleep mode so it's normal
but another weird thing happened to me!

when i tried to load the save i noticed that my save was in slot 1 and there was 2 other save on slot 2 and slot 3 which were my last 2 save from slot 1!

also when i loaded the save from slot 3 and saved
the save from slot 3 was with star and when i loaded it beginned at the start of the game!

 

[Vizenzo]

Wow, a really good shit game... i want new releases no fucking remakes of mario or other shits...

 

[SKoRPioN]

So what exactly is the deal with the saves? Are they 512k? I have fa2 pro 256.. anyone know how much sram fits on these cards exactly? I saw in another post that it will take up several slots .. how many exacly?

 

[mightymuffy]

Hmm, the pics from e3 showed SMB2 veg plucking/SMW cape flying - is this included in the final game or has that got something to do with the e-reader?

 

[Geezer]

Do you reckon playing this on pogoshell will screw up all my other saves? I have like 20 saves of all different games in other slots.. this sounds like a really wierd game to use 1MBIT to save.. you think it's maybe a Nintendo attack on flash card users?

 

[whiteboy067]

lmao, I just lost all my save data too. I should have read here first. Im playing it right now though, in the 3rd slot. It seems to work fine on that one. The first time i played it on the first one and it went crazy.

but damnit! They added those annoying sounds to luigi and mario like in SMW!

EDIT: The 3rd slot at the main menu

Ok guyz, just flashed this ROM to FlashAdvance2 256 Cart and it works fine!

Note: This is the only game I flashed onto the cart.

No lockups, and saves seems to work just fine. (I've tested all 3 save banks in the game).

Hope this helps someone.

 

[prankfurter]

ya i burnt it to my EZF advance 128 with multirom off. it works fine

 

[AutoPrime]

so that seems to be the problem..ts the only rom u can have on the cart.

and btw mario and luigi is a platform/action game..not even close to an rpg...

the 1meg memory is for storing the info from cards and other stuff this game is going to use the Gameboy player for the game cube and the e-card reader to its full potentioul. but what else would you expect from a game this grand. to me its a toss up between Super mario World and Super mario brothers 3, if there is a NEW mario game it has to live up and surpass MARIO 3 and SMW being a Huge world that has a replayability that is realy big.

i might flash this but i am wirry of how it works on my cart. that and i dont have a ereader.

and kudos to eurasia for fixing it to use two 512kbit sram banks of the visoly flash cart, insted of looking for a 1 meg slot!

 

[KinX]

Well, looks like I spoke to soon.
Hopefully you guys can make something out of this.

In my previous post, I said I flashed to a Flash2Advance 256 Cart and the saves work.

They don't!!!!
Here's what happens: The saves work as long as you don't turn off the GBA. When you turn it on, the save banks of the game show that you did save something. However, when you start up a saved game, the boards you completed have not been saved! (In other words, you must complete back the boards you already have done).

Arghh....

 

[AutoPrime]

so has anyone seen a cape or anything??

 

[prankfurter]

KinX to get it to work on an EZF you have to say yes and remove the intro/patch when the software asks you.

also it has to be by itself on the cart (you must turn multirom off in options)

so this sucks for 2 reasons:

1) a 128/256mb flash cart can only be used for one 32mb game.

2) you have to remove the intro :'(

the saves are still flaky tho, saving in slot one works for me best.
