For the 1 million time , the required firmware is not a problem with the spoof firmware. The game using the new protection is.
Is there currently a way to spoof firmware (that's public) or are we just talking hypothetical?
I thought YW2 roms are still missing. Anyway, they said the game needs the day 1 patch so yiu can save. But ofcourse the eshop is inaccessible.
Just a heads up to anyone looking forward to playing this.
Players from duowan stated that the game won't run on Gateway 2.2 and it requires FW 8.0.
I fear for the future titles now.
Not sure if the problem is the above mentioned sdk or the fact that there is a day 1 essential patch. Just read through google translations on a chinese forum and it seems they state that it just doesn't work with no details. The game is selling like crazy in Japan. Over a million copies in a few days, I have a US unit so I wouldn't be able to patch it anyway when the eshop works again. I might just buy a Japanese 3ds.
gateway said they have stuff working with 8.0, don't be scared, don't live in fear.
it's got nothing to do with the patch, unless the game is BROKEN no matter what until you install the patch, but, that's basically impossible.
so patch or not, the game should work (but it doesn't since gateway has not released their update yet)
this game DOES require fw 8/7 (for the newer keys stuff), it is not about spoofing, spoofing is just like... 'pretending', like, it says it needs 8.0 but in fact it would work fine on 4.0.
but this needs more than pretending, without the newer firmware functionality, the game WILL NOT PLAY, it's not really based on the number on your fw version here.
-plus, i don't mind that we can't play the game yet because... i haven't got all the youkai in the first one yet! haha... i completed it all, mugen jigoku etc etc, but up until a few weeks ago i was trying to get every youkai, but i got a bit busy. i'll still keep trying, but some take like an hour to get, there is a lot of luck involved, much much more than pokemon.
Thank you for the explanation. I think I'm going to pick up a Japanese 3DS LL anyway for games I really want to play and don't want to wait to be shut out by patches and the like. I can't download patches on my US unit anyway. The patch for Youkai Watch 2 is said to be critical and you can barely do anything without it. I don't know how they produced a cartridge like that.
yeah, i think you said in your post (or was it someone else) that it won't save without the patch? :o
i thought all of their testing was so thorough and strict... thankfully japan has loads of wifi so they will be ok to get the patch ha, but still, there must be some kid in a remote place, just not being able to save
-and yeah, good choice, join the foreign japanese 3ds owners club haha
By the way, would you happen to know of any Japanese forums where people talk about Youkai Watch to trade, play with each other etc.? I've been trying to find one to no avail. I think my Japanese is good enough to communicate on them.
if your japanese is good enough then you should be able to find them yourself (joking)
i've only looked at wiki type types, for guides etc, but not anything social or people talking about the game, i don't usually do trading type things.
i didn't even know that you were able to trade in the first game right?
-edit. here's the first link i found, there was some activity today so that's good
