The Other roms & Roms with translation patch works, this no

And Homebrew works too
Then I suspect there's either something wrong with the SD card in your R4, or something went wrong with your download.

You should find an SHA-1 calculator that you can use to verify that the file you downloaded has the correct SHA-1 ( 136AACC9D3D7C8567381CD4E735FF3C004A018D0 , as noted in the first post). You can use the command line version built into Windows, or you can probably find a GUI version with a quick Google search.

To test your SD card, you should copy everything off of it and use h2testw, as in https://3ds.hacks.guide/h2testw-(windows).html .

Ok, I'm idiot, for some reason using DeSmuME and Converting saves broken the .nds for some reason, I Only have to change the save file to .nds.save (because I'm using this save format too long) and put in my games folder, It's works :mellow:

Anyway, Time to enjoy this media :lol:

This is exactly the type of oddity that I love, and it’s great to hear that it’s finally been dumped and preserved!

The story of what it took to get the game dumped is long, almost an hour, but worth every second.




Heck yeah, I hope some cool people translate this. I’m glad this is out!
Same here, it's worth an English translation for sure.

Nick Robinson makes some pretty good documentaries. Hadn't seen this yet, but was well worth the watch.
The game doesn't seem to be anything special, but it's basically what I expected.
I wonder what it will end up being worth in the future. It might be about as rare as Nintendo World Championship, but it's nowhere near as iconic.

You know that's the same video linked in the OP, right?

As I mentioned, dumping the game is trivial. Getting it was the tricky part.

Or at least a ENGRISH one. Crappy english is still better than no english
Retroarch has DS support, doesn't it? You can use its auto-translate feature if you really want to.

A patch is already in progress.

Try it again, there were new updates for flashcarts.
I got it to run on my ACE3DS+ card (R4 clone that uses older software) so it should work for you too. If it doesn't just use Twilight Menu++

Also I have a problem where it buzzes when I try to select the first option, and the second and third options won't let me by either. I set the save type to .SAV extension and 512K, but still no dice. The game itself boots fine, and shows the opening intro and plays sounds (that won't happen if there isn't enough save memory). so how do i fix it, anyone?

Gaming colossus Nintendo and fast food giant McDonald's have long been business partners in different ways the world over, whether that means setting up consoles for public use, having been one of the biggest and best known Nintendo Zone service providers even before they were a thing in The West, occasionally bundling Nintendo gadgets with Happy Meals and... ordering a custom limited edition of the DSi, intended for use with their own "game" card containing a training course for their staff.

While this latter fact has long been known by most hardcore gaming historians and collectors, the eCDP Kurutore (standing for "eCrew Development Program - Crew Training") was still a mystery for most people, being undumped and furthermore requiring an user account to be downloaded from a now defunct server.

That is, until yesterday, when the successful effort by ObscureGamers members code1038 and ItsMeMario to crack the password on a save file with some user profiles already present met Nick Robinson's financial effort to buy, import, dump, and publish a ROM of his copy.

Code:
Original release filename: DSCDP_CRUJN6_00.nds
TitleID: CRUJN6
ROM: 256 MB, SHA-1: 136AACC9D3D7C8567381CD4E735FF3C004A018D0
Save: EEPROM 512 kB, SHA-1: 52EB13E817EA76CBAA9761984E4B62B2723E7146
Username and password to be used with that save: "482500" for both

this is amazing, and you dont actually need the save file.

just ecdp.cbps.xyz is the link

use ecdp.cbps.xyz enter 3ds macaddres and pt any numbers below and hit the button. enter that into console.

The presentation is delightful, but it's a bit silly how he talks breathlessly about consulting with a preservationist about dumping the game with GM9. It's not like the cart had some kind of specialized hardware lockout; a child could do it.
it was , on the beta copies, hârdwre lcked
