so the only game that will never work on my r4 is this one?

why!?!?#?$%

Donato_Dobango · Sep 17, 2009

I think us DSTT users will have to wait for a firmware update from the proper channels instead of just AR codes.

Because the R4 is outdated, crap. The team's dead, so no updates. It doesn't work on YSMenu, which leaves you with one option; AR code.

And it's been stated that the code they have been making "seriously broke things", so I don't think it's even coming anymore. It would be best to update your cart, with or without the M&L3 issue.

is there a eng patch for the jap version of the game?

No there ain't I'm afraid. People knew it was coming out officially in English so it never got worked on. The copy protections so far have been defeated pretty easily, I don't think anyone could have seen this one coming! lol

Thanks for the info man. do you know if there are any working patch for the ttds?

Do you think anything has really changed since someone asked on the last page? No there isn't a working patch for the DSTT at the mo, when one is released someone will post a thread about it. Asking the same question that 50 people asked already won't yield a different result. Just wait, when a working patch is available then someone will post about it.

well i was just wondering. im in no rush to play it since im playing scribblenauts. it will keep be busy until theres a patch.

Most patch for copy protections actually involves binary editing on the .nds file. The file size remains the same after patching.

I wondered why Xenophobia patch also trimmed the .nds file, though.

The protection in this game when started the game is almost the same as KH:358/2 Days. That game also has freezing problem when you start a new game.

Copy protections get defeated pretty easily, it usually only on JAP Games, Japanese people found which address on the .nds file that used for copy protection and changed it so the game would be working on flashcarts.

I don't know if there is any person knew the binary address on this game that used for protection, though. This is a reason why there isn't a patch that is working on all flashcarts.

geminisama · Sep 17, 2009

Yes, a new Touchpod FW was released yesterday, that fixes M&L3 and the Pokemon games.

I'm gonna just make a keyboard macro for this seeing as how I've typed it in at least 30 times in the last few days, if you'd have read the last page or the page before that you would have seen the answer.

"The M3 Simply is just a rebadged R4, no more R4 = no more M3 Simply."

Don't worry, I know exactly how cracking works. It wasn't Japanese people who cracked the protection on most of the other releases, it was a team here on this very forum. The protections on the other releases were pretty straightforward so they were cracked alot easier. They found the "binary address" (as you call it) by running the game through a debugger (on the ST they used R.A.I.D, on the PC in the old days it was Soft-ICE, don't know what they use on the DS tho, probably No$GBA debug version).

The reason that the patch trimmed the .nds file is probably to stop hordes of people posting messages like "Is it safe to trim after I've patched it?".

edit : Damn, double post. Sorry about that.

It does work on acekard does it?

I have an r4 and i just ordered an acekard

commandernojj · Sep 17, 2009

Yea i've been patiently awaiting the R4 fix and I think I have reason to be a tad bit annoyed now I'm not gonna whine about it, I would just like to know which card was the one to have the game playable on it first, I figure if I update I won't have to worry about this situation again and be a happy camper. Anyone?

Acekard, for example.

There a fix for edge?
Just got ignored last time I asked.

Yep, as far as I know the AR code works reasonably well for the Edge. Still has occasional lock-up problems but it's playable.

Mortenga · Sep 17, 2009

Awesome, cause I had this one rom and it got to the save select screen and froze, so I got another one and it was just two white screens.

+1 Noob question: How do I put AR codes on an edge?

Insomniac · Sep 17, 2009

Is there fix for g6 lite?

alucard_xs · Sep 17, 2009
