If doesn't work: Reformat your card to FAT 16. Maybe your card is slow or something and can't access the rom fine.

Good luck
Damn, that seemed to be the problem. I didn't format, since I haven't found out how to specify the clustersize to 64k on Linux yet. But after deleting everything and copying only FFIV to MicroSD card it worked! It didn't work after the "copy everythig to HDD, delete card and put everything back together" I usually do.

Sorry to be asking about this (since many people seemed to be angered by the existence of it), but does anyone know if it works well on an EDGE card?

Thanks!
I'm using an EDGE card and I'm happy to say it does! But I almost fell asleep playing FF IV. Sorry, but I have more fun playing Namco Museum DS than this...//

I have started about 10 final fantasy games and finished about none of them, I always lose interest part way in...... I'm guessing this one will be no different.... but still I try

Anyway is it just me who finds it ironic its called Final Fantasy when there will be another along in about two months. If I used the last supper as an analogy, old Jesus would be on his hundredth fish supper with wine by now.... when does Final mean final ?

My idea for the next games title would be

Nearly the last one but maybe not if it still rakes in the cash fantasy - Coffers of ever flowing cash 2, because if the word final didn't mean the last, the 2 will certainly confuse the literate amongst you. NDS


Kind of catchy that one.....

Hmm... I'm having troubles running this on my R4... v1.18 :S It doesn't seem to get past the 'New Game', it just whites and freezes... the opening FMV works (and nice too)... But that's it :S
I'm running it on v1.18 also but I'm also using the hacked _DS_MENU.DAT that someone provided as a savefix for Daigasso Band Brothers.
Please enlighten me with this hacked _DS_MENU.DAT

It was probably modified with Yasu's Kernel Customizer to allow bigger saves. I'll search around in the forums for a link.

I think this is the one.

I decided to go track down the UNDUB version, although to be fair I've never actually heard the English voicework.

Works fine on my R4DS 1.18... too bad I just started playing DQIV.

This is the game that started my love for console style rpgs. I have beat the game 5 times, just because it was my favorite. I did like FFVI more though later on as it had a lot more unique things to do and it was a lot more complex, but I still get nostalgic feel from FFIV.

Works like a charm on Cyclo DS Evo.
This is one of the few FF games i didn't complete back in the days even though I played it.

Ok, updating my last post, it worked on a different folder. I'm guessing SC doesn't like several files with similar names around.

No, its not the speed. Its the framerate. Also, thanks for the tip.

I have to concur with you. The battles definitely feel a little laggish! Menu selection also isn't so snappy... seems.. just.. slower than the rest of the game! What's up with this eh!?

Could someone else please try to load their FFIV (J) save on the FFIV (U) rom? I have yet to see anyone else confirm that it does not work for them.

For me, the game and the opening sequence works fine, and when I choose "Load Game" my saves are there and listed with the correct information. When I select one of them, it says it is loaded, and I get the little ringing noise that indicates it loaded, but then the game just hangs on 2 black screens.

If someone else could please confirm this with their (J) save, it would save me a lot of wasted effort trying to get this to work.

Thanks.

upload your save file & PM me, I'll test it for you.
(what was name of that site that converts save files again?)
Thanks test84.

The save is uploaded here:

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2919

It's in 512KB .sav format (for R4 / CycloDS Evo, etc)

Please try to load either the first or second save slot.

Thanks.

Does anyone else get an error where in the cave you meet Tellah, the map will stop filling at 99%? I've explored the whole place, but it refuses to get 100%. I played through the whole Japanese version just fine, so I don't really get it. Is there a way to tell if my dump is bad or not?

the last 1 % is just really annoying to get.
did you actually go into the water? you'll cross one of the lines that normally signals the edge of a path.
and you need to go under a (natural?)bridge you crossed earlier.

Like I said, I've beat the Japanese version, I know what I'm doing. I've started 3 new games, and gotten a new dump and it sticks at 99% no matter what. I find it hard to believe that it's just me, considering I could do it on the Japanese version, I think it might be the dump.

I noticed that. Also several maps since have stopped at 99% - I though I just missed a bit and didn't bother as I don;t really care about completing the maps.

P.S. Another vote here - working on R4 1.18
