ROM Hack Dragon Quest IX - Save Editor

[FranckKnight]

You got a flash cart, make your own unique tags :

AceKard for example allows for 10 save files per ROM. If the normal save file is DQ9.nds.sav, that's the default save file, and the #1 becomes DQ9.dns.1.sav. So use your original one, and make a copy of it, renaming it.

Make 30 like that, by changing up 2 things :
-In the party tab, change the name of the first character. In fact, get rid of the entire teammates too, so it's faster and less laggy.
-In the Inn tab, change the UID. It's a random, unique number for every game.

With that, your save file will be tagged as unique in canvass mode.

The other option (if you have a cart) is to use the editor, change the visitors to 29 and change the inn grade to 5. As soon as you met a real person, you'll get the special inn upgrade.

hi, I have a problem. I have DQIX USA with an EZ-Flash Vi. After to have use the save editor, my save starts well, but after a fight, the game crash and i have a black screen.

please somebody can help me and sorry for my bad english^^

PS : I just put the quest 125 in cleared. I finished it but the finished status was not put.

 

[Masked Ranger]

how about not clearing quest 125?

 

[Manios]

I finish the quest 125, but in the quest list this quest is as no begun. And I cannot relaunch it. I thus used Save Editor to spend it in cleared.

 

[rulesilol]

when i did all my editing and saved i tried it and it didn't work

 

[Masked Ranger]

Manios: either erase all the data for quest 125, or fill out the data completely. Even then with the full data, there were two other quests that you needed to have done before starting on quest 125

rulesilol: could you please try to be more vague?

He's talking about the thing... with the stuff.

 

[Manios]

Masked Ranger : My problem is that when I use Save Editor, the saving starts well but in the first fight the game freeze (dark screen).

 

[Masked Ranger]

Then it sounds like a problem with your rom

 

[Manios]

Nevertheless the game bug only if I used Save Editor, otherwise I have nobody problems.

 

[eliasthorn]

so this may sound noobish but after reading all the thread i have some questions.What are the stuff you can get only through other players and the online shop?And how do i add them to my file using the editor?(thnx in advance)

 

[BaN]

Sorry if i ask ( i did not read all the thread) but this works on US or European save?

 

[FranckKnight]

Save data should be the same for every region, the difference between US and JP versions was solely about the 'alphabet', thus for inputting names. Inputting new names for party members in Roman letters would end up with blank names on the JP ROM.

So I'm supposing that US and EU will work fine on this one, since they use the same alphabet at base.

 

[Masked Ranger]

eliasthorn: You get past Alltrades Abbey in gameplay to enable DQVC to purchase things from the online shop at the Stornway Inn. To get maps from other players, you need to

Spoiler

have Erinn run the inn at Stornway. Don't worry, you do it though the story mode.

You can edit what is available via Wi-Fi and what maps you have via the Wi-Fi and Maps tabs. You'll want to go through this thread to learn how to make maps though. You don't want to crash your game.

FranckKnight: US saves have gibberish names on a JP game just as JP saves have gibberish names on a US game.

Hi all, I have been using the save editor for a while now in order to bolster my alchemy items (iron ore, lava lumps etc.) , however on my lastest top up something has happened to my save.

I Don't know whats causing it but my game runs all the way up untill i fight a battle and then freezes when i win. Am currently trawling through all the options in the editor to find a fix but have had no luck so far. I have an old back-up save which runs perfectly but its all the way back at alltrades abbey and on the broken one i'd beaten the last boss.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Manios]

I have the same problem, but one said to me that it came from my ROM (after try with various ROM USA I always have problem)

 

[Masked Ranger]

*I* was the one that said that. *I* was also the one that said there were two other quests that had to be done before Quest 125. *I* was also the one who said either erase all the data for quest 125, or fill out the data completely. Did you do any of what I said?


I said that it sounds like a problem with your rom, not that it is a problem with your rom. You didn't give any info to help people troubleshoot your problem.

To get a new treasure map in your save just click on the treasure tab > click on the plus sign in the list > enter to map no (first, second)

Here is a list of all the best maps in the game:

134, 30804 (Floor 11 is full of Metal King Slimes, Boss = Lucid)
175, 2720 (Floor 7 is full of Metal Slimes, Boss = Fowleye)
248, 4929 (Lots of A/S Chests, Boss = Trauminator)
189, 200
184, 9638 (Good chest map for crafting, Floor 9 is Metal King Slimes, Boss = Hammibal)
198, 25615
217, 26468 (Great money farming map gem slimes for 10k per kill, Boss = Greygnarl)
187, 9788
183, 15522 (Kawasaki loot map, Boss = Fowleye)
187, 3676 (Masayuki map, Floor 15 has Metal King Slimes, Boss = Tyrannosaurus Wrecks)
184, 18322 (Good chest map)
183, 6129 (Super hard trash mobs and highest level dungeon)

So I tried the map on the top of the list. I assumed it would be the Silver Marsh of Bane 58, but instead, Copper was all I got.. no MKS at all but Elusid was the boss as noted. I followed the numbers but I inputted a random location that wasn't red. How do I solve this?

Can anyone help me get an MKS map with tons of goodies?

Also, has anyone generated a PKS-only map?
