DS #2673: Dragon Quest IV (USA)

[three14]

I just tested three14's SAV file on my CycloDS and I can confirm that the problem mentioned here is indeed an anti-piracy effort and not just a glitch on the R4.

If anyone can figure out how to fix this it would make the few DQ fans on this forum very happy.

I'm still hoping it's just my fault instead. Will see if I can find my save file for the Japanese version to check for anything I could have potentially missed.

Edit: Tried using the same .sav on Ideas and having the same result. So unless anyone else can confirm this using their own save file, I have to consider it something I missed.

Oooo. So SquareEnix managed to pwn the Cyclo as well. This is getting juicy. *grabs popcorn*

Seems other people have the same problem, unless this is you.

I made a discussion thread here.

I hope it doesn't end up in Davey Jones' Locker due to the multiple Pokemon translation requests.

 

[three14]

No I didn't post on gamefaqs. Looks like it may not be my fault after all. Unless, of course, someone read one of my previous posts and reposted the same info elsewhere. Hopefully results from more and more people will help to clarify things.

Well, evidently this entire time the alleged anti-piracy measures I claimed were, in fact, false. See the original thread here:


Cheap Laugh Alert!!

I apologize to everyone for possibly causing a panic. I am so embarrassed and at the same time relieved. I hope that this will provide a cheap laugh at my expense. Guess this teaches me not to jump to conclusions.

Happens to the best of us. Try not to beat yourself up too much, Im surprised it took this long for someone to point out the error

this game sucks because there is no "NO ROMS ON GBATEMP DO NOT ASK FOR THIS FILE" message by admins on this website

It matters because only the best games that everybody wants, the admins of GBATemp post that message. For example, Super Smash Bros Brawl, N+, Phoenix Wright, etc

BTW...how you doing lately CCNaru? Its been a while since XenonFansubs eh?

Yeah, it's not a problem. And you can't blame yourself because at least one other person came to the same conclusion as you did, and I'm sure there will be more later.

They probably just forgot. Wouldn't be the first time the staff here screwed up.

Does anyone else get some pretty bad lag in some towns? (Like Mintos) D=

 

[BurlyEd]

Alternative program to backup and restore saves and dump retail carts to .nds ROM files:
Rudolph's NDS Backup Tool 3in1 v0.31 (2008/1/29)

http://www009.upp.so-net.ne.jp/rudolph/nds/Backup/

This requires a 3in1 slot 2 card but does not require wifi.

I do.

I didn't really read through this post today, so didn't get to comment on the Zenithia problem...although now seems to be solved. Anyways, beat the game with no problems, so seems like everything is fine.

 

[SargeSmash]

I can confirm the lag occurs on a retail cart as well.

Just beat Chapter 5 last night, level 33. Alena still kicks butt. Honestly, if it were the original NES version, I'm not sure it'd be very easy to beat it at that level. I remember getting my head handed to me at that level in the original.

In any case, I'm going to try to make progress into Chapter 6. I'm infiltrating the bonus dungeon now.

 

[xshinox]

so there is a save glitch for the american version?
