    Maybe later. I'd have to do this with Umineko too, and I'd also have to do the high res versions, and my MEGA account is already starting to run out of space.

    Updated Higurashi to use the PS2 assets. I'll do Higurashi Kai later maybe.

    It's because the original VN has no CGs and no voice acting, which typically makes up the bulk of the size of these VNs. Tsukihime is like this too.

    Homebrew VNDS converted novels

    I haven't worked on the Little Busters! port in a while. I was able to get it in a somewhat functional state, but then I figured out a way to backport the official English translation to the RealLive scripts for Memorial Edition, which would allow me to port the three Ecstasy routes, but would...

    There are a couple of unskippable "scripted" combat sequences with predetermined outcomes that I'm probably going to recreate. I'm probably going to skip everything else tho.

    Just finished testing CLANNAD. Didn't find any major issues outside of a particularly nasty saving issue in After Story. Basically, VNDS save files are just XMLs, which uses double quotes to delineate the begining and end of strings. But VNDS doesn't bother escaping double quotes in strings when...

    1. Yeah, saving is a beast that I haven't quite figured out. Just use whatever build works for you. 2. There are sound effects, but CLANNAD uses them quite sparringly. A lot of parts that seem like they should have sound effects don't have any. One of the nice things that the old incomplete...

    Excellent. Then I'll release a split version alongside 1.1 (and I'll keep the monolithic version for DSi users). In the meantime you can continue using the sound.zip I posted. Just be warned that the Yoshino Yusuke scenes on 4/20 and 4/21 won't have voices because they're in script files that...

    The answer is that I don't know. I don't know how VNDS does memory management, I don't know how easy it would be to change, I don't know how to use cartridge RAM and I don't know how hard it would be to do it. I wasn't joking when I said I didn't know what I was doing earlier. I need to learn...

    Hey, thanks for replying. The game I was using was the port of CLANNAD I was working on. Sorry for being a bit harsh with my criticism of your version. I know you made that build specifically for your Echo port, and it probably works great for that, but I wanted something I could use for my own...

    One easy way to check if this is a RAM issue would be to temporarily remove the sound folder to get rid of the 700KB+ sound cache. If that helps, it's probably a memory problem. EDIT: I meant the sound ZIP, not the folder.

    Achievements are ignored. I could have implemented them, but I decided it would require a prohibitive amount of global variables (well, I technically could've done it in just six global variables, but I still didn't want to spend time implementing something I wasn't confident I'd be able to...

    I guess that would indicate a memory leak of some kind. But to be honest, I don't feel qualified to keep working on the fork right now. Like I said previously, I basically just copy-pasted code from Asiekierka's fork back into Sammy6's fork in order to fix the issues that Sammy6's fork...

    Homebrew VNDS converted novels

    Probably not at my current skill level, and it also wouldn't fix the issue because my version of VNDS does support DSi RAM and if my testing is anything to go by that doesn't help much at all. And to be completely honest, I'm not interested in using SuperCard hardware. Slot-2 expansion pak...

    Homebrew VNDS converted novels

    I've never had my console shut off, but I've had some saves that consistently had Guru Meditation crashes. I'm not sure what the cause is, but it's a distinct issue from the save freezes that my build fixes. I guess maybe on flashcart these crashes just shut off the console? In my experience...
