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

Thanks for the explanation guys.

I believe the occasional CRC check theory...and if it's correct, it seems like it would be a simple fix (in theory, if not in practice.)

1) Get original rom CRC.
2) Find CRC check in game code, note location.
3) Patch Rom for play on [insert flashcard here].
4) Check patched Rom's CRC.
5) Replace original CRC in game code check with patched rom CRC.
6) Game does CRC check, CRC check matches existing CRC, no MoD.

Of course, by that point I'd assume a talented enough coder could just remove the crc check entirely, but whatever.
Just a thought.

Having read the last 20 pages of this topic I decided to register :] yay 1st post!

I'm in the very same trouble with my m3 simply and I tried like everything there is 'til now, from downgrading firmware in hope of a build that doesn't patch the game, but firmware 1.10 was the first to include this feature, but 1.09 - which would actually work - hits you with the white screen of doom. :/
I also found no option in some kind of config file for the firmware.

After that I tried the savegame -> moogle of doom!
Also tried encoding it.. moggle

Now I'm trying the "fixed" version from those torrent sites, although i heard some people claiming it's just another white screen, i'm going to use it with diffrent firmware builds.

I'll let you know if I stumble upon something interesting.

'Til then good luck.. I do like the > 60 pages of discussion this game evoked; otherwise i'd have never found this community. ;D

..Barbie's Amazing Menstruation Cycle made my day, by the way!

using Santino6's suggestion still produced the White Moogle Of Death on my DSTT with all options off using firmware V1.08

 

[bouliton]

I just encrypted the game using eNDryptS Advance and well 1 hour going and still no Moogle of Death.

BTW I have a R4 with a 1.16 firmware

I tried that with my R4, I got just 2 blank screens....
If someone else find it working, tell me how you done it.
Maybe I just have done it wrong...

 

[TheLawlietVashie]

Been staying on this forum for the past few days, read every post.
So far I haven't heard of any concrete information about anyone working on it.
...Should they modify the ROM, or should the FlashCard make a update of firmware?
Anyway, I hope they get it fixed soon.
In the meanwhile...I'm beginning to hate those cute fuzzy little things called moogle.

Same for me, another disappointment.

 

[rakker]

why is this game so popular? not like its a port of FFVII

it is maybe not popular but the protection is popular

maybe other games are coming too with this protection that's why most people are talking about this game.

ps. i have try different things too but without succes.

Gentleman,

I have a M3 Lite Slot2, before entering the first dungeon I get the "Thanks" screen. So, I started searching the web, and I found one version in MiniNova that say that it's fixed. I'm at work right now and the torrents here are blocked, so I haven't tested it yet.

Anyone have tried this version and can tell if it works? Excuse me if it is prohibited to cite the name of the site Mininova here.
Thanks in advance.
Snake.

It's b0xxle's version ... it's a dead loss.

 

[Migs]

Bispo Snake, for us slot-1 users, that version you are refering too gave us all white screens and did not boot.

Got no idea if it will work for Slot-2 though.

 

[rakker]

the b0xxle's version is not working on a m3 lite

random the screen "thank you for playing"

I tried it in a SC Lite MicroSD ... dud.

Also tried it in an M3 Simply & an R4 ... I have about 6 different carts, altogether.

Why do you have so many carts though?

People give me things.

 

[Scorpin200]

This game won't work on slot 2 only some slot 1 carts, because you don't have to patch those.

Pity they don't give you working things, in this case at least

 

[Akotan]

What I'll say may sound a little bit dumb but on some other communities people aren't complaining about this Moogle screen. Has anyone tried to change NDS system location?

And R4/M3 Simply also asks permission to create a sav file if it is not created, right? If you don't allow it, can game save progress?

I'm just wondering a little on some people sayings...

Not really ... I have a CycloDS & an AceKard ... both work with this game fine

Won't make a blind bit of difference.

 

[KaluAnkka]

People are running out of ideas I guess. So it's up to firmware or a miracle or nothing. Maybe I should just buy cyclo. :/
