Gaming a favor to ask.

my touch screen is fubar, thus i cant create a save file. i've the money to buy a new DS but i recently broke my knee cap (bed ridden for 2 months

) so i need to save it until i can go back to work.

it'd be awesome if one of you could upload a fresh save file, dont care what the name or icon is, just want to play. i'd greatly appreciate it!

What save file?? What game and what kart??

If thats what you mean..

 

[Exilus]

errr.. i'm such a loon, completely forgot to mention the game. haha.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

 

[Curley5959]

What part are you up to??

And what kart are you using, It will need to be prepatched.. I will aheva a look on google for a save because I dont have that game.. Thats the best I can do unless someone else has a save file..

 

[Exilus]

using a DSTT.

as for the save, id like it to be at the very first save point with nothing completed.

Found that.. No 1st save caps though.. Will keep looking for you..

 

[Exilus]

thanks chum. I tried using google but didnt find anything, then again, i didnt look very hard. haha

 

[Curley5959]

Is there any way to save without using the touch screen??

 

[Exilus]

not to save the game once a file is created, but in order to create a file you have to create/pick an icon using the touch screen. there doesnt seem to be a way around it either.

 

[Curley5959]

Sorry to hear that.. If i have time I will download the game and get to that point for you..

If someone else doesnt arrive and save the day I will try to do that for you.. Gotta see If I can find it first and If I have enough time to play it.. Can you give me the number of the rom and I will look into it for you.. Gotta go for now.. Thanks..

 

[Exilus]

no sweat, thanks for helping!

Getting it now.. I will probably use cheats to get past the first level.. Quickly for you so hopefully they wont affect the save file.. I will try to convert it as well.. Gotta find the thing first..

 

[Curley5959]

Ok, The only place to save was just a bit past the beginning..

Spoiler

What happened was, you get greeted by the fat guy and then get taught y is to attack, b is to jump and a is to summon your partner.. You get chased by a monster wuth no legs and a huge bone sticking out its back.. You had to get past these poles which you had to break by attacking them.. You then learnt Up+Y throws knives but it reduces your mp.. Thats about it.. Its the only way to save.. Soz..

Hmm, I dont have to convert it.. Yay..

All you have to do is copy the name of your Portrait of ruin into this save.. (rename it) But remove the .nds at the end of the name..

e.g DS file name is xpa-pof.nds and the the sav should be xpa-pof

Hope I have helped..

yeah, was a nice thing curley did. glad i found someone who could help me out.

been about 3 weeks since it happened, going to see the orthopedist again tomorrow to make sure it's healing properly. glad i didn't have to get a cast, have a leg brace which i can take off to shower/air the leg out. ive broken a wrist before, but a knee is so much more constricting. Made me realize how alot of things are really taken for granted.. like standing! lol.
