The game will boot and play for a few minutes in Supercard DS One using this cheat I compiled from Normmatt's original bypass-

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zjujtrnizj3

But the game will freeze whenever you save (it saves fine, you just have to reset whenever you save and continue). It also freezes after the first Bowser battle. So the game is still unplayable on it.

Settings to get it to work partially if you want to try-

-Patch enabled
-Patch Speed enabled
-DMA enabled
-Save Patcher enabled
-Cheats enabled

With those you can get ingame at least and past the file selection. Modifying the save size doesn't seem to do much. And all of the options above need to be checked to get the game to work at all.

I have been doing experiments using the code on my Supercard DS One SDHC. I also did a .scc with the code and loaded the game using the same settings that you mention, and i got mixed results. I have 3 memory cards, 1 Adata 4gb Class 6 Micro SDHC, 1 Sandisk 8gb Class 6 Micro SDHC and 1 Kingston 2gb Micro SD. With the Adata 4gb one, it happened as you mention, it saves and i get a black screen after that, having to reset, then i get a black screen just after Bowser fight (tried around 8 times, changing settings a bit, going to Bowser without saving before, etc.).
With the second one, the Sandisk 8gb, i managed to get past the Bowser fight (with a brand new savefile, didn't save before it), then saved at the next save point (a bit after all get absorbed by Bowser) and got the black screen after saving (again). I could continue from the save, but then i got a black screen after the next fight finished (killing the first goomba with Mario).
And finally with the Kingston one, i managed to get past Bowser fight (again with a brand new save and without saving before it), i skipped the next save and continued playing, killed many goombas and then saved in the next save point (the third one available), but this time i selected Save and Quit. It got me to the title screen (no black screen this time), but somehow it didn't apply the cheat (i wasn't able to select my file). I tried restarting 2 or 3 times, getting the same results (couldn't select my file, i checked that the cheat was actually active) and decided to give it up for some hours (i got a bit tired, lol).
So i don't know what to say, i kind of suspect that the problems might be related to the black screens after saving (considering something like, you can play using a brand new savefile and advance without black screens as long as you don't save, based on my results, since i skipped saving at the 1st then the 1st and 2nd saves on my 2nd and 3rd try and i could advance a bit more each time), but atm this would be only speculations, might try again with my first card with brand new saves to see if i get a different result. Or maybe it has something to do with the memory cards.

It was a check in the Japanese version back in March actually. And quickly fixed then. Apparently in no$, you can get past the battle by using the no$ zoomer tool. I have no idea where to get it though.

oh i see i never knew that

Sorry, havent been here for the last 10+ pages, so has anyone figured anything out that helps with this game and working on M3 Real/Itouch?

osofastferu · Sep 12, 2009

It does this when using a trimmed rom. Use one untrimmed. It ends up trimming it after its done anyways.

Ive read some of the pages and skimmed through and I just want to know:
Is there a patch/fix for acekard2i yet?

That's because it's not patching the file. Read the text inside the window that pops up when you run the batch file and you'll see what the problem is. You can always try the README file, too. These things are put there to help you.

Would you mind linking me to an upload of an untrimmed rom? The one on romulation is trimmed already.

Got it working at last on my CycloDS Evolution with the cheat..

Not working on:
Acekard 2i
iTouch2
M3i Zero
Supercard DSONEi

I wouldn't count my chickens before they're hatched, the code isn't perfect. I've played further into the game and the Anti-piracy check can still kick in from time to time when playing as Mario & Luigi. The game will freeze after you finish saving. It's not that bad, considering.

dgwillia · Sep 12, 2009

I asked for a quick update, not douchery >_>

It is working on DSONEi with the code hard patched with DSATM and no patching.

dgwillia · Sep 12, 2009

Anything for M3 Real/Itouch?

Hero_Of_Fate · Sep 12, 2009

Did you get to the Flab Room yet? That's where the game locks up after every save. I don't know why it's THAT particular area, but that's where I was having the issue.

I got the ROM from Frozen-roms.in it works on My R4 (M3 simply) try it out. although it does take a while to find the games download link.

cwebb · Sep 12, 2009

Thanks so much for the info guys! I've been scouring the net for the past 6 hours searching for a way around this thing... Finally, with all of your help, eureaka! My mistake was trying to use the official firmware (4.18) with my acekard 2i--I had no idea that AKAIO was so useful!
