"Ok lets get this straight IT IS NOT A COPY PROTECTION! Since at the beginning of the game I couldnt even start it. I updated my firmware and encounter the same thing.... But.... my friend who has a cycloDS never encountered this problem. So far its been dated with R4 and M3 but not CycloDS. Apperently this is a firmware bug....R4 and M3 are almost the same firmware there for the bugs.
It could also be the ones getting are European DSes wich is also a bug I noticed in M3s. Sometimes when your DS is european and the ROM is USA. The game freezes or gives weird bugs.... I hardly think this is a copy protection its a bug that inniates the end of the game wich I hade with Star Fox 2 on an emulator once. If you held start during a level change you suddenly got END SCORE ENTRY and CREDITS... So this is a FULL BUG in the ROM."

Actually it's not anti-piracy as many including myself first thought, its just a bug in the firmware that makes the game skip back to the ending, which would obviously take you back to the loading screens, anyone with an emulator has surely experienced this, it would happen in starfox 64 everytime you pushed the start button, so its simply a flaw in the R4 and M3 Firmwares although i should just say R4 since M3 is just a copy of the firmware, A fix should be out within the next few days anyways.
Truth is theres in absolutely no way Nintendo can stop the piracy since its impossible for them to tell if your using a flash cart or not, they both operate in the exact same way."

Uh, whoa. Has this happened before? Deja vu...Talaria said:Flozem said:Anyone tried and look at the scripts with dslazy? Maybe that line of code is easily found and killed?
I've had a look at it. No the main data is encrypted in a 68MB file the rest is made of the two sound.dat's which are about 50MB altogether. The rest is just the headers and arm9.bin etc. Someone could try hex-edit and could probably look into it. I've been playing the game with my R4 for 30mins, so far with "that screen" not appearing. I am using a DS phat though so maybe the problem could be in the newer firmwares in DS lite's that nintendo can manipulate to add protection.
I know you're afraid of ghosts--
but are you afraid of the dark,
too?
Je sais que tu as peur des fantômes mais
est-ce que tu as peur du noir aussi ?
Ich weiß, dass du dich vor Gespenstern
fürchtes, aber hast du vielleicht auch
Angst vor der Dunkelheit ?
Ya sé que tienes miedo a
los fantasmas pero... También
te da miedo la oscuridad?
No it's part of the Crystal Chronicles series, hence why its not called Final Fantasy 4.GXice said:So can someone explain to me, is this the Final Fantasy 4 released in Japan a while ago or is this a completely different game?

You're stupid.Crazy-S said:it works fine!!!
its not a demo!!
i am playing for three hours yet with no Thanks for playing anti priacy thingy
i`ve got an me ds simply v.1.12 (the newest) it works when you update your m3 ds
before i updated i`ve got 1.11 and got an "White screen" then update it and POOOF it works!!
p.s. after the caves go into the town don`t go anywhere else because if you go anywhere else the game says thanks for playing!
Cheers!!

What I did:
Trimmed using NDS Tokyo
Arm7 fix using DS Lazy
Thats it...
works great so far...
Edit: SIGH nvm, got it after i beat boss
IIRC CRC is actually quite broken, and linear, and it should be no big problem to control what's produced, especially since there's usually some useless data in the ROM.sillypatterson said:Anyone looking to 'fix' this problem has a few options available to them:
1) The firmware could be modified so that when patched, the proper CRC is produced. This method is nigh impossible as far as I understand CRCs.
