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.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'm using the same config but the game completion % is nuts... something like 347.27%...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.
EZ4LC
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?
i think it is the dump because at least one cart would work with it loldoes people agree with me :>
My percentage complete is some ridiculous number as well, is it going up to a 1000% or something?
QUOTE said: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.
i use EZ4 too and have no problem..Works perfect with the normal EZ4.
Not a single crash since the day the rom came out, no special settings or anything.
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.
