Where can I get the ARM7.bin file? I tried the one from the new Nintendo Crossword game but it still didn't work on my AK2i.

I got it to work using the Simcity (J) arm7.bin

I tried this and I get this message, "The Bookworm Save Data Could Not Be Accessed."

At least I got more than a blck screen so I guess this is an improvement. Any other advice?

FOR AK2i USERS:

After doing the ARM7 fix and it still doesn't work, try booting the game to DMA mode (hold X on the Loading screen)

Thanks to KevInChester for the tip.

I got the game to load in AKAIO 1.5.1 doing the ARM7 patch and holding x while loading the game, but....... If I choose any type of multiplayer mode I get 2 black screens but I can still hear the game music

Edit: Redid the arm7 patch, everything works great now...even multiplayer.

Yep - I can confirm this works (I used Sand Of Destruction for the Arm7 fix)... One thing though.

Is there any way to 'force' Bookworm to load in the alternative (original) DMA (Red 'Loading' Text) mode other than wait until a new AKAIO loader comes out ??
- I keep forgetting to hold [X] when loading

I'm guessing it's the 'loader' that decides on how to load ROMS as my 'Animal Crossing:Wild World' loads using the normal DMA mode with LOADING... while all other games use the 'DMA-Quicksave' mode with 'LOADING...'

is it really that hard to patch for R4?
if i understand it right once it would get fixed to DSTT
than YSMENU could be fixed as well
(if that guy still updates it at all that is?)

If it's so easy, then do it yourself. I have a R4 and I'm not complaining. I can wait. Or you can just buy the game off the PopCap website for $20 and get Bookworm for the PC for free as part of your purchase.

And yeah, DSTT fix = R4 fix. I thought they still updated, they're just not as fast as other teams.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
