DS #2107: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings Of Fate (USA)

I agree ... but basically the non working cards came from the same source ...what about the N5 ( kernel is 100% R4... + Altera Max II ) someone can report ?

i'm really scared about the future

if it's a "anti-piracy measure", i don't need to say how bad it is...
if it's a bug, NOW they know how to do a anti-piracy measure =P

(LOL 70 pages, i don't believe i read it all O.o)
(sorry for the crappy english)

It's not. It's something about the flashcarts firmware IIRC

WeaponXxX tried every method new save every time except when i tried someone else's save. as far as frimware goes i tried 2.41,2.5,2.8,3.0,31 i am still playing it as i backup my original save. I'm in the 3rd dungeon ( 2 1/2 hours ) but i have to save every 15 min or so and restart the game to make progress without losing what i have got in the game. I hope that when the fix comes out i can keep this one save.

Don't we worried about the future because this is fixable with a firmware update. Don't worry just wait

My point is, if it's just a bug, or a glitch, then why haven't we seen anything like it before?

 

[GH0ST]

At least Dungeon Master had a real protection ... team was falling in a cry with dead bones ... save was impossible and game was frozen dead ;-)

IF it is a protection this is really nasty ^^

The problem with this all is that no one is 100% sure what the problem really is.

The EZV doesn't work and it is TOTALLY unrelated to R4 or M3 :/.

 

[Bob Evil]

I find it hard to believe that this could be anything other than deliberate.

It's all very specific.

No Slot-2 devices work, either ... and they are not related to the R4.

I'm sure someone does, probably many people do, they're just too busy fixing the problem, so they have no time to fill up 70 pages of complaining on gbatemp.

 

[GH0ST]

Yeah right i guess the answer will come from china

 

[DarkSpace]

True, but personally I'm not complaining. All I"m trying to say is that no can be truly 100% sure if it's some protection or a bug.

Let's think on one thing: developers didn't want to waste time (who want?) coding the same game for multiple purposes, right? Somehow, R4/M3 Simply/Other-flashcards-that-can't-run-it are going to this screen created for this game demo, that developers didn't erase because the proper main code routine doesn't use this screen in any moment. It's garbage... And really looks like a demo because it restarts the game. When you finishes any game, it doesn't soft resets itself like this. It simply goes to the main screen or asks gamers input... So this behavior isn't a new piracy protection at all. But, now they know that this can be remade to bug us... (T_T)

This topic is indeed very interesting although no solution has come yet. I didn't know, for example, that R4/M3 Simple patched games on the fly...

oh I agree with you all I'm saying is whether or not it is a protection OR a bug, someone is still going to fix/bypass it

 

[DarkSpace]

I hope we figure it out soon.

 

[Maverick_z]

can't agree with you more on that one

 

[Bob Evil]

I hope they figure it out, and I can play it perfectly well.

I just like to see everyone being able to play whatever they like.

 

[Henrike]

I hope we figure it out soon.

sure!
it's only been three days.
someone in a dark basement must be doing some kind of magic and soon we all gonna be able to play FFCCRoF in ours "needs-to-patch-roms-to-work" flashcards...

Holy crap. This continued for 40 more pages?

You all seriously need to find something better to do with your time then complain about not being able to pirate one game.

We have gone beyond complaining, and are now philosophising & analysing
