Hacking Castelvanias Ds problems

DDD13 · Aug 23, 2009

Hi well I was trying to play castlevania dawn of sorrow and portrait of ruin and when i start the games with m3 real they always crash, I'm using version 4.3i.

Any Solution?

Thanks for any help

try using SAKURA instead see if that helps

note: Tho that Castlevania DOS is notorious for having issues with SLOW memory cards!

Class 2 cards I heard get murdered, Class 4 cards (like mine) freeze every now and then you just gotta save alot, Class 6 cards I think should do fine.

Thanks with Sakura Dawn of Sorrow works but portrait of ruin still freezing and my SD is class 6, i think there nothing to do. Thanks Everyone

Try turning everything like cheats and soft reset off that might help.

Having recently tried a few different SD/SDHC cards of differing specs and benchmarked them (see this thread), I have found that (as with older SD cards back in the days of my R4), it seems brand name matters more than Class specification!

I will check both Castlevania on my Kingston 8GB (Class 4) to see if there are problems.

Out of interest DDD13, what make is your SDHC card?

UPDATE:

Ok, I've tested both castlevania D.O.S. & P.O.R.....

Kingston (Class 4) 8GB MicroSDHC
P.O.R.: Seems fine.
D.O.S.: Got very slight slowdown right at the end of the title screen video. Plus; graphical glitch on first boss (* see note below)

Kingston 2GB MicroSD
P.O.R.: Seems fine
D.O.S.: Intro & game plays flawlessly

* note.
I got a few graphical glitches running a trimmed version of D.O.S. on both cards.
Using a clean version of the rom gave no glitches on the 2GB (MicroSD) BUT I still got a garbled image of the first boss using the clean rom on the 8GB (MicroSDHC)!
