I discovered the billion dollar winter fishing glitch by accident on my own, and was like "SWEET!", until I bought everything and there was nothing left to do in the game. It ruined the experience, considering there was so much to do in that game. I never had any of the fatal glitches that I heard about. It's good to see that they go back and fix bugs in games like this, but it seems a little too late IMO.

I had the billion dollar fishing "glitch" in the actual game cart, and I totally freaked out :] (had the game before i heard about R4). But that was really all, are all these glitches possible in the regular game cart as well?

Does anyone know how exactly GBA union works? I have More Friend of Mineral Town for the GBA and I'd like to connect it to HMDS... but do I need to have the game in the slot-2 every time I play Harvest Moon DS or does it "unlock" everything once and for the rest of the game?

Hope this will fix the long list of bugs in the last version -

  * Random freeze up of the game, especially in winter.
  * Inability to marry the Witch Princess because the game fails to count dead animals
  * Inability to marry the Harvest Goddess because of the missing Buckwheat Flour and the Necklace
  * Inability to complete cooking and shipping lists due to aforementioned Buckwheat Flour
  * In winter, tiles can randomly become impassable if a grass building falls
  * "Ghost Town", where all doors are permanently locked and villagers are missing
  * Milker glitch, where any animal that can be brushed can be milked
  * Cats and dogs getting stuck after home additions
  * 1 billion gold fishing glitch
  * In English versions of the game, the mailbox doesn't work, and the player can never receive mail
  * The "Speech screen scratch" glitch, after talking to someone, an odd, scratchy line appears, but disappears when you have exited the building.
  * The title screen has mermaids of all colors instead of the whole town standing together.

God, with a list like that how the hell did this make it to print? That list sounds like a list from an early beta of a game, not a supposed final release. Talk about bad beta testing...

@Hooya natsume has a history of this sort of thing:


Sorry for the small image but my 64 disc+emu stuff is elsewhere right now.

This is the first HM to be released on the DS, mostly based on Friends of Mineral town from the GBA (who in turn was based on Back to Nature from the PS1)
Correction, it is mostly based on the awful, horrible "A Wonderful Life" on Gamecube, but the graphics are all the same style as FoMT (which is a much better game).

If I have a version 1.0 save can I use it by replacing the new 1.1 rom and carry on playing where I left off?

Or do I need to start from the very beginning again? or will all those bugs interfere with my original game.

Yeah, to be honest I kind of expected the original game to have a few glitches, it's part of the Harvest Moon experience in a way, but that list was way too long. Glad they're fixing it though

I saw this in a post on GFAQs:

QUOTE said:
Harvest Moon DS has a lot of game-breaking bugs. There was recently a new version of it released that fixed this bugs, but the new version isn't really marked on the box in any distinguishable way.

Basically, there are four different versions.
ABCEN0J13 - This is Version 1.0. It is glitchy and bad.
ABCEN0J22 - This is Version 1.05. Some of the glitches were fixed, but not all.
ABCEN1J09 - This is Version 1.1. Some more glitches fixed.
ABCEN1J12 - This is Version 1.5. Even more glitches fixed.

So my questions is - when does the v1.5 dump come out and is the 1.1 even worth it??? (Assuming I actually found *correct* information on GFAQs *LOL*)
