Ok, it might have been have benn asked before but: what should I do to play the game? I just received it, but it won't launch since I think the 3DS is region locked and I have an american one (which won't run japanese games). I know I must download something to run the translation, but is it also necessary to run the game itself? I'm really sorry if I sound like an idiot but might somebody help me?

Yes. You need a hacked 3DS in order to play the game at all.

Luma3DS will remove the region lock for games (though you will still be locked to your region's eShop), you also need it to run our mod. I suggest you use this guide: https://3ds.hacks.guide/. They also have a Discord in case you get stuck and need help.

Once you're done with that, follow our instructions to install our patch here: https://github.com/ScarletStudy/DGS1-3DS-Release

On Android, I'm hitting an issue on starting chapter 3 where after the initial cutscene plays the screen goes black and I can't continue. Has anyone else seen this? Would a logcat trace help debug?

When the screen goes black, restart the game and then just start episode 3 again. While it may sound silly, the cutscene seems to play properly once you restart the game after a failed attempt. Well, for me at least. I'm not exactly part of the team and by no means am I a programmer so this is just based on my personal experience.

Hey!
Does anybody know how to completely reset the save files of the game? I purchased a used copy from Japan and installed the patch, but it has the previous owner's save files. Yeah I know, I can delete/overwrite these save files, but is there a way to start the game as if it was completely new?

The invitation is expired, is there a newer one?
Link still works for me. It's the same link they use in their Kuriimu thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release...olkit-for-authors-of-fan-translations.452375/

Yes, hold B+X+START while booting the game.

So I finally decided to play this game and since I barely use my 3DS lately I bought the Android version. But it seems like this aspect ratio isn't really supported that well (S10+), everything is moved all the way to the right instead of being centered.

Any idea if there's a way to fix it?

I raised an issue in the github page of the project, seems like the problem is in the game itself rather than the phone. Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done that I am aware of. I even sent a message to the support page but they only accept messages in japanese.

I'm pretty sure that's how the game is supposed to work. The upper screen on the 3ds is in 16:9 aspect ratio, so the android port uses that too, and if your aspect ratio doesn't fit, it adds the handy bar with the date and episode title as well as the patterned background. Pretty sure that's not getting changed, ever.

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
