I dont know if anyone has reported but the Venom release seems to be working just fine on the TTDS.

Understood. But what's not understood, is why they use Mb in the description and stuff, and not MB... is there a reason behind that?

Just historical reasons I guess; cartridge-based consoles have pretty much always had filesizes given in megabits, so the handheld scene followed suit.

QUOTE(sweenish @ Oct 9 2010, 05:58 PM) i can not believe how many people are defending intros and pre-cracked roms. sure the intro is typically the price you pay to have a rom pre-cracked, but they (intros especially) break things.

cheats are only made for clean dumps. firmware updates and emulator updates only ensure that clean dumps work. in fact, the nds scene is probably the only one that still has crack-tros. all the other scenes got rid of them a long time ago. for good reason. the closest i ever get to this is a cheat code to bypass the protection. clean dumps save everyone a lot of trouble down the line.

and a perfectly viable solution for everyone is to release a clean dump alongside a quick program that can crack/intro a game, if the user wants it like that. it wouldn't delay the release at all, since the program takes minutes compared to the cracking process. and both crowds get what they want.

BlueStar pretty much hit the nail on the head, but the fact is that the true scene groups don't care about the likes of you or I, posting here on a public web forum; they don't care about cheat codes, or emulator updates, or anything like that. What they DO care about is that their releases work, which is why the likes of Venom (who add cracktros to releases) are IMHO "true" scene groups, and the groups that just put out clean, uncracked dumps aren't. If they want to add a cracktro as a calling card then that's their prerogative; they certainly don't owe you a clean dump. They're not looking to impress any of us with their skills; it's purely showboating for their peers in other groups, and all part of the friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) rivalry of the scene.

The fact that PC game scene groups don't attach intros to their games is nothing to be admired; cracktros have been a part of the scene for 25+ years, stretching back to the C64 days and beyond. If anything, it's to the NDS scene's credit that they're keeping this old-school tradition alive (see also the PC utils scene, where keygens and cracked installers often include chiptunes and the like).

So in other words, what you propose will never happen. The closest you're likely to get is what CPL sometimes did with their releases, where a patch was included to disable the intro. Other than that, you'll just have to wait until someone releases a cheat code to bypass it (which happened pretty quickly with this game).

Wow, I really dislike the box art

I knew it looked like this before, but I was just reminded now

Or well, I should say that I dislike the font of the box art.. Use the standard black font please !

They tried to mimic this, seeing as this is a homage to old RPGs:

Which is fine by just this one time

I think this box art

ShadowSoldier · Oct 10, 2010

Yeah.. I'm going to agree with the boxart. It's pretty... dull. Walk into a store and it's a forgettable cover. It doesn't stand out. It looks too much like a cover for a game based on a movie.

The font stands out a bit too much too....

I'd prefer a white background with a silhouette of the characters, not pitch black, and a black classic FF font/text with a little design like a crystal or something like the previous games.

CrimzonEyed · Oct 10, 2010

bah i think the european box art is beautiful

...are you going to hate paintings because because the artist signs his/her signatures at the bottom?

GTFO!

I ain't one to complain about these little intros (and this one is admittedly pretty cute), but the guy(s)/gal(s) who cracks a game is hardly "the artist" behind the game. The game designers deserve credit (and your dollars) if anyone does. I appreciate the scene, though I'm the first to admit I don't fully understand people's motives behind it, but don't bother suggesting they deserve anything more than a pat on the back. If you want to show your appreciation for these games, show it with your buck at the retail store.

sa1amandra · Oct 11, 2010

really my only complain about this game is being unable to select your attack target. I find it pretty odd that i can't choose who i burn.

Auron32 · Oct 11, 2010

VENOMS intro-hacked rip is FINE on my Acekard 2i, no save issues what so ever, if your having trouble its cos your copy is not hacked to worked, i dont get why people are whining about it so much. "oh my intro is hacked, it SOOOOO fucking hard to press the A button to skip it, man!!" grow up, shut up and show some appreciation for the guys (and possibly girls, im not sexist) who gave up THEIR FREE TIME so you can play without playing... bloody noobs...

again:

ACEKARD 2i W/FIRMWARE 1.7.1 is WORKING, if your using VENOMS HACKED ROM
i apologize for the excessive use of caps but NOOB's dont (read: CAN NOT) read...

EDIT: just cos my post count is low, DO NOT mistake ME for a noob, i'm not on here that much is all...

SPH73 · Oct 12, 2010

Is this just the Wii-Ware game ported to the DS?

Sorry if that question has already been asked.

romeoondaline · Oct 12, 2010

So...what do i do if i have this dump and want to play the game WITH cheat codes?!? i tried and it froze on me right after venoms intro.
