"But it doesn't work"

Not necessarily true. If it only upped it to 28 or 30 events I'd be tempted to agree with you, but in this case it ups it from 24 to 70. That sort of thing doesn't happen just by screwing around with the rom. The AP is in more than one place so apparently this patch hasn't removed the AP in it's entirety but it has removed a good portion of the AP.

From what I've heard the AP seems to be less of a rom-based-problem and more of an issue with the way that the flashcards allocate memory and Nintendo saying, "Hey, well that's interesting. . . If we program the game like 'this', it turns out that it causes 'these' flashcarts to crash. . . We should base our AP on this. And it shouldn't be fixable unless they change the way they allocate memory with a firmware upgrade (which obviously won't happen for R4 and some older carts)". I don't know exactly how this patch works but I suppose it changes part of the code that's supposed to exploit a flashcart's memory allocation method.

In any case, this does seem like progress being made towards a completely working patch (which is surprising, because I thought it couldn't be done with a patch and would only happen through firmware upgrades).

The US Rom does the same thing for me like for everything else. Still freezes but not as often.
Is the freezing still badge based? I have no save game so I couldn't test.
The patcher doesn't patch EU Roms. Kinda wierd since the AP is the same....

Rockstar, Rockstar...it says "updated" in red above download link. Megaupload is merely a mirror for MediaFire link. You must be tired!

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
