0735Â Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (U) (Xenophobia)Â -Â 1.0.2 version - Random freezes entering/inside menu. Watch for the problems seen in the JPN release.

Darn, I hope for the next version it will run.
I wrote that entry. The game is by no means unplayable. It just freezes sometimes, seemingly at random. This is the exact same problem that the other flash carts are seeing. I have several hours logged on the game already, and the freezes are really a minor annoyance. It is possible to play for hours without seeing one. You should just be aware of when they are most likely to occur (menu screen/teleporting) and prepare for it.

Remember, a blue entry on that page simply means that the game doesn't work perfectly. If it were unplayable, it would be red.

The JPN versions worked perfectly (beaten the game 4 times)
And I'm half way through the game on the English version, not a single freeze or what so ever.....

G6, 4.6C, Soft Reset, RW, Trim.

I'm using the same config but the game completion % is nuts... something like 347.27%...

Also it erases my FC everytime I save in the game...

Are those things working for other G6's or is it just mine?

so far only crash i've gotten is when talking to wind when theres a quest active thats not completed. i did the potion/map quest for Wind and got the reward but if i ever talked to him after i got the quest but before i bought the items it froze.

but it diddn't freeze 100% there was one odd time it diddn't freeze. i jsut gto teh second mission from wind and it freezes one again if i talk to hima gain without completing the mission.

is this teh games fault, flashcard fault, or faulty dump? anyone have any ideas?


Same cart, this is also the only crash I have ever gotten. I'm glad you pointed it out, I hadn't realized that was the criteria.

My percentage complete is some ridiculous number as well, is it going up to a 1000% or something? or is this a problem? because if it isn't meant to be this way, then that would imply something wrong with the rom itself too...?

for the record I get black screens randomly entering rooms, teleporting, switching to menu...doesn't see to be any rhyme or reason to me...but it's few and far enough between that it's playable

Most people with faster flashcards don't seem to have any problems.
Then again, most people can't run the first Spiderman either, which runs fine on my fast mem-cards, but has the known problems on my slower one.

All in all I reckon it has more to due with mem-card speeds/access times then with what brand people are using, although that could still be the case since sometimes new firmware is released to reckonise/handle new cards better.

Works fine on M3 MiniSD with Kingston 1GB, FAT32 (most likely default cluster) with these settings:
Trim rom, DMA 4x, Force R/W

Played about 2 hours and buy/selling stuff, getting/doing quests, getting into menu about 20x repeatedly to see if I could get it to crash.

Has anyone tried copying a G6 Lite save onto the real DS card? I keep getting a save corrupted error and have to format the DS card to fix it.

Yeah, I got the same. I'd like to find a solution to that little problem, but apparently the does not run on any other cart" problem takes precedence.

Unfortunately, my testing has proven your theory false. I tried it on my SanDisk UltraII card and while it did make the first run NOW SAVING screen clear very quickly, it did not prevent the lockups. For the record, this is a very fast card that allows my digital camera to take high-speed consecutive photos. It's one of the fastest cards on the market. "One of" I said, not "the."

Here's another little trick for you guys that have a G6...

If you have a G6 and played part way through the Japanese version, you can use that save on this new (U) dump! To do this:

1. Take your original japanese .0 save off your card and place it on your desktop.
2. After you put the new rom onto your G6, look in the NDS folder and see what your new US .0 save is named.
3. Name your original Japanese .0 file on your desktop the EXACT same name as the new US .0 save on the G6.
4. Overwrite the .0 save on your G6.
5. Boot up and enjoy, you should have everything you had from your Japanese game save.

Side note: make sure that you don't have a Castlevania save sitting in your sram prior to overwiting the rename, as that will just over write what you just over wrote. What the hell... did that even make sense?

Just boot your G6 prior to doing all the above steps, so it boots clean once you change your .0 file and you should be all cool.
