I believe the R4 is indeed the most popular flash card for the NDS... So we must assume they should have a fix very soon, as they have the most customers/users.

But, considering the problem is not really of R4's fault, but rather just the software system, I really doubt a firmware can fix the problem.

Our best bet is for a patched ROM. Other than that, we buy a CycloDS and switch to that!

Yes, it takes them out to a nice Italian bistro, plys them with cheap chianti, then whisks them back to it's hotel room.

It would be funny if Square Enix and CycloDS have joined forces and are secretly working together, thus resulting to this chaos.

I'm really getting impatient, and it's not just about playing the game... It's also losing faith in the almighty R4DS.

I thought we had the best flash cart.

There have been a lot of complaints in this thread, ironically, about the thread itself. I think it's great that it's still going as it serves a purpose: It's a great diversion while we ALL wait to see what will happen next.

Is it a CRC check? Is it a bug? Is it several different things combined?

Will firmware programmers find a way around it, or will someone have to patch the ROM? What if neither of those options solves the problem?

Why would R4 care about this? Haven't they already made a boatload of money? At this point, they can still sell their product and say that it works with almost 100% of commercial games. That will change if this is a deliberate attempt at anti-piracy, as other companies will likely adopt similar methods.

What did you all expect? I mean, if this is deliberate, then it's way overdue. Right now, DS flashcart piracy is far simpler and cost effective than anything similar has been for any console EVER. Of course the game manufacturers are interested in anti-piracy measures--just look at this thread, with all of the views and comments. This is just over one game!

All I'm really saying is that something will happen, one way or another. The R4 has been showing it's age lately, and the newer flashcarts are looking better all the time. It may just be a good time to upgrade...

Remember, with flash carts, reputation is everything.

Yeah, I would progress through dungeons and whatnot, if I was able to play the game. Like I said, from what I deleted, I can't even move around the starting area properly. And instead of digging through countless pages of five word posts, I guessed from early posts that it just occured after 20 minutes. Oh well, don't know what to say then.

I compared the Japanese version and the US version and they have the exact same amount of code.
Wouldn't that mean if it was a security thing, the US version would have more code in it than the JP version?

I can't wait for the companies that put z at the end of their games to come out with some protection like this. After you play the game for 20 minutes your puppy gets hit by a car

Wait, let me get this straight... You have FFCCRoF working on your R4DS?

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
