I remember now. He had an abundance of courage because he wanted to fight the sea monster even though he had a bad leg.
You get hatch points for trading eggs, and you can only break them when you have enough points. You start with zero, but all the eggs you get have a break point of 1, so they are basically stuck forever.
You will need a dumper and some way to run homebrew. We have a guide on how to dump your own cartridges - it's a little old, but should be suitable.
Yeah, I realized after a bit too. Sorry you lost your girlfriend over it. If she's that picky, you're better off. [emoji6]
I don't think anyone mentioned them prior to just now. I didn't really see it as too much of an issue so I just left it alone. The thing that I would like to see fixed the most are the effects for weapons. Like a sword will say "resist faint" but it actually has a % chance to cause instant death. Maybe it resists death too, IDK. The piercing weapons? I have no idea if they work. They say they ignore defense, but when I use them, my DPS literally cuts in half. I would do more damage with nothing equipped than having one of those on. Some of the weapons say increase crit %, but only a few actually do, through my general testing. Like one weapon will sometimes crit 1/4 times, but the others that say they also increase rate don't seem to have any noticeable difference, and I never crit with them even after hitting 12 times. I really don't think this is an easy fix, because you'd have to basically review every weapon from scratch.
Dearest Anjiera and everyone who joined their hands together on this project to see it come to life,
HUGE THANK YOU!
I have been following this project's status for years, always wishing to see the day that I could play this gem on my DS. No words can express the gratitude I felt when you have finally released the patch.
Now, things weren't going so smoothly when I tried to apply it, as I was getting the (error -4) messages constantly. So I decided to write down what I did in order for it to work.
I am using a very old R4 card (R4 Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS)), with a 1.0GB micro SD card:
The YSMENU fix did not work for me, so I have tried the following, which eventually worked:
1. Formatted my SD card using the maximal block size, as suggested by Anjiera on page 63.
2. Downloaded the most recent kernel files for my card, from old.r4wood website.
3. AP patched the Japanese rom using DS_SCENE ROM TOOL
4. Applied the ARM7 patch to the rom.
5. Run the game through the original kernel.
Everything works, from saving to sleep mode. No problems so far!
I hope that this will be useful to some of you guys, the same way I was trying the other methods suggested on this thread.
As a side note, I always felt grumpy that this title was not officially released on the DS or even the 3DS. I bought the PS3 version and started playing it, but it just doesn't have the same charming effects of the handheld. I even bought the English spellbook in hope that I will use it when I play the patched DS version
So, again, thank you for everyone involved in this project who made it possible!
Did you try only with YSMenu 7.0.6? or also other OS like Wood or the original R4 software? I suppose the firmware is not the software itself, just the firmware of the card.
I don't think it has to do with text size constraints. For example, when comparing Japanese translation with what it says in English for any of the items that increase or decrease HP/MP, they'll have something weird. Soldier's Step will say "Restores HP fully" but actually just raises max HP by 20 and Dark Blade will say "Restores HP fully when hit" but actually reduces max HP by 30%. I didn't check the translation for Dark Blade, but Soldier's Step just says raises max HP.
