This might be a dumb idea (I'm new to this whole technology thingamajig)

but since the CycloDS is known to be compatible, is it possible to delete all the contents on my MicroSD and switch it with the CycloDS firmware? My concept of it is the chip works like a blank CD... and the firmware is the "formatting" of the CD.

If I'm completely on the wrong track and sound like idiot please ignore this =)

the firmware shouldnt be on the microsd (except for updating purposes), as far as i know you just copy the dumped roms onto the uSD and there you go...

If it's possible...I think everyone here would have done that. So the answer is no, you can't do that.

Oh I see... I forgot about that bigger plastic cartridge thing (my R4) the microSD came with haha
Thanks for clearing that up!

Firmware for some carts is interchangeable ... sort of ... but not for all carts.

If they were all truly interchangeable, there'd be no real market for so many different carts ... plus, we'd either all be able to play this, or none of us would

u got the concept wrong buddy
different carts work in different way (hardware + firmware)
exception to this maybe m3 simply / r4 since they are manufactured by the same company

So I'm having this problem when I'm playing on my CycloDS Evo:

There's no heightened sense of anticipation when going through a door. This game isn't quite as interesting when you know you're not going to get the Moogle screen. Gone is the sense of sheer panic when you haven't saved recently, and there is no crystal in sight.

So I say kudos to the developers for adding an element of suspense to an otherwise ordinary ARPG.

I guess I'll go back to the R4.

On second thought, maybe I'll try out the EZ-V "fix". That has at least a modicum of suspense attached to it.

No-one really knows.

Some think it is a bug ... some think it is protection.

Square-Enix is saying nothing about it.


Niemand weiß wirklich. Einige denken, es eine Wanze ist..., das einige denken, daß es Schutz ist. Square-Enix sagt nichts über es.

... you could, however, read the thread. Just skim it a bit, nothing too in-depth...

But, in a nutshell, people don't know wheter it's a bug or a new protection. Some people claim it's a bug that makes the game skip to the last part, but then some other say that message doesn't appear once you beat the game. On the other hand, some people argue it's a new kind of protection, like the one in EarthBound... There's nothing for sure.
