DS #2230: The World Ends With You (Europe)

[KeitaroBaka]

Hello guys.

I've been fidling too with this rom and the jap one and took a wild guess with file switching.

It may work, but i can't test it well as i have an old M3SD (game crashes after first battle during movie).
But as far as i've tested, the undub was working.

Quick instructions to help everyone on this :
1 - unpack both roms with DSLazy (or NDSTools if you like commandlines).
2 - replace sound folder of E rom with the one from J rom
3 - take all adx files from jap located i the root folder and copy them over euro ones
OPTIONAL - i also did ans arm7 swap from jap to euro : didn't resolve the crash i have, but may work on other flashcards if needed

Now, i need to get past the crash.

If you could post your feedback on this, we can see what needs to be changed (or not).

here's a save at the start of Day 2, anyway (the earliest you can save)...if it's any use to anyone:
http://www.hotshare.net/file/49401-5861670dcc.html
its in AK2 format, which is just R4 format named *.nds.sav instead of *.sav

Wow, didn't expect to see the game so soon

Just a little question, does the game has freeze or crash issues with M3 Simply Ds or R4?
I still haven't got the game, but it would be useful to know if I should wait for issues to be solved as with FFCC or if I will be able to play it right away

(I'm currently at work, so i can't play it now

)

Loving this game so far. Hadn't looked at it until it was released; was surprised it slipped under radar.
The game is styled like JSRF, the story is pretty cool, and music is nice.

The only thing I've got to complain about is the controls in battling, but I should master it after a bit more experience

Yeah, my sentiments, as well. When I put the game down just a few minutes ago I was thinking to myself, wow, what an awesome game. But yeah, the battle system is a bit quirky. Not so much the fact of having to control multiple things at once, but my touch screen often doesn't properly read my commands. However, if I press down fairly hard with my stylus, everything usually works well.

Nonetheless, the pin system is awesome, and I love the small variety of pins I have so far. The menu system, too -- along with the way the tutorials are so cleverly worked into the story -- are just stellar. This is some of the best work on the DS I've seen by Square Enix...or anyone, for that matter.

... the controls will deter many ...

So is there any problems playing this does it require a patch for the R4DS?

 

[engruzii]

well i played the game for a couple of hours & i must say the game is far better than i expected i would give it 7 out of 10

tho the thing i hated most is: 1) the drawing style for most of the characters don't know but it felt like kingdom hearts & i really hate that kinda of drawing

2) the main character acts & talks like a real big homo

, i did not like him at all

but at least the gameplay is fun, don't know about the story have to play more.

in the end the game is worth trying at least it's not my type of RPG's but it's still fun to play

Uh is the save inside the zip file? because its not the right size when i renamed the file to the m3 saver type. If it is a zip then it is corrupt

Could someone upload to a different site, like rapidshare or so? I'm having troubles with hotshare...

BTW, tried to format my M3Real and updating to 3.4 but to no avail, game still crashes.

The story and premise of this game is really really creative. Kudos for that and the atmosphere they created.

....However, and this is a big however. I do not like the god damn Emo kid main character. Oh god, when did they think making an Emo a main character would be a good thing? Kill him now please so he can stop complaining and 'going at it alone'.

I put the Japanese voices and music in the EU ROM, that made him a lot less emo I found.

Changing the sounds is easy too - unpack both ROMs with DSlazy or DSbuff, go into the 'data' directory, and copy all the ADX files in there, plus the Sounds directory from the Japanese ROM to the EU ROM.

Then just repack and load it up.

If possible can the save be upped in M3 format? Thanks

 

[dirty_harry]

Ok guys i upload a save made by M3R right now. This is right after the hat part. If your emulator also failed then i can only blame your actual DUMP, so maybe download from a different source.

There is the save made with a M3R.

Have fun.

EDIT: I actually never passed the hat section with a EMU, will try that right now. EMU didn't even get that far haha.

I have an idea i haven't tried yet. Why not take all the data dir of the us version and put it in the data dir of the japanese one. The japanese version works well on M3 slot 2. It may fix the crash.

If you did that, it would no longer be the Japanese version ... think about it ...

The crash is occurring on a variety of carts so i don't think its a specific cart issue it may be like a Castlevania POR speed access issue. However i formatted to FAT (not 32) without quick format enabled at the default sec. I put the firmware files and put the untouched rom in. Thats all, i didn't put any other games on. No soft reset no trimming.

It worked straight off the bat for my R4.

So it may be firmware fixable which i hope it is, but in the meantime use the .sav i posted there ^ and see how you go.
