Hacking Diddy Kong Racing DS = No Go

[grampylover]

I'm using my R4 with an ADATA 2GB MicroSD and the final English 1.06 firmware, yet Diddy Kong Racing DS isn't working for me. It loads, shows the initial splash screen (with warning that play may change while online,) fades to black, and never goes anywhere from there. No other games (except Castlevania: PoR & Tony Hawk Downhill Jam) have given me any trouble at all. Anyone have any hints, tips, recommendations, or, better yet, solutions?

Most likely a bad rom. :/

 

[boy_silip]

maybe the card? or its a bad dump

well DKR is working fine on my R4 w/1g(japan)microsd

As above, most likely the rom/bad copy of the rom to your microSD

Can anyone run an MD5 hash on a working ROM? My ROM hash is 46dbee8efb7cb1b1bd7b62c83b5a9e06

As above, most likely the rom/bad copy of the rom to your microSD

Not sure what the MD5 is but teh CRC32 is 6446207B

The ROM I have here, which works on AceKard+ Kingston 1GB Japan:
MD5:
46dbee8efb7cb1b1bd7b62c83b5a9e06
CDC32:
6446207B

So it's the same as you guys have... So it's not a bad dump...

Well, shit. That's the same CRC32 that I've got, and it's just not working.

Figured I'd try the default solution of clearing my MicroSD card with a fresh format. After adding my firmware and ROMs, DKR DS now works. *shrug*

 

[Kurai]

That happend for me with Castlevania.

Other Solution: Trim rom

My trimmed version works on my R4 w/ Taiwan 1GB Kingston perfectly!

 

[gopherbob]

Yea, i'm just a lurker here but with the newest r4 updates diddy kong racing worked perfect for me. I just dragged and dropped no trimming. Maybe you got a poor dump?

by the way i use a cheapy dan elec 1gb microsd
