Before I tangle with it is the translation like the Japanese phoenix wright releases (the odd spelling/grammar mistake) or is it good?

Secondly is anyone up for a retranslation/cleanup hack and possibly even a rebalancing of the game (hard mode if you will). I have moved away from translations for a while (far too much effort) instead focusing on improvement hacks and this would be a good one. It would also make a nice demo hack which it seems we sorely need around here.
If we can assemble a team I will post my hackings docs as they are (they are more or less finished aside from DS 3d specifics, issues with tracing, real world file formats and GBA background hacking/low level video hardware) and sideline that project for a few weeks to go full time on this. I am up for hacking (grunt work through high end) and can help with language (my Japanese is not so good but hopefully enough to play in the world).

The fact it is on the DS means we have near unlimited space and much more in the way of resources to play with and we could make a really good version (despite not playing the game much I have followed the retranslation efforts for the SNES and the main gripe from all those who went in for it was resource issues.

Edit: if it turns out there are protection issues (the last few big titles from SE have had it) then I say we find out how it works and do a full blown hack that rather than the albeit functional roundabout methods that have been used for the last few titles.

supercard cf
works like a charm so far
setting the language to english only works after already starting a new game, only then can you access the settings menu.

Supercard DS-One latest firmware. Works fine until the end of the teleporter scene. Crono is sucked into the time rip and the time travel animation (along with the music that plays with it) never ends.

New copy protection obviously. Although it's a mystery to me why they even try. A waste of money on their part for something that will be hacked within a few days.

No$GBA does this too. I was going to suggest bypassing the part in no$gba and making a save AFTER the loop then writing the save to the flashcard, but no luck there.

Mind you, I'm certain there's a simple way to fix this with an AR cheat. I'd see it fixed within a day or two. There always is a fix.

It really is stupid for these companies to even try to lock us out. Why do they bother when their efforts are so pathetic?

Does anyone else have black screens when you use that teleport thingy? I have M3DS Real with latest firmware. Maybe I try this with Sakura.

Yep, happened to me too. M3DS Real, latest firmware.

Probably gonna need a firmware update to fix this. Probably an anti-piracy measure put in by Square-Enix.
Same with my slot 2 M3 SD, except I at least got the blue seizures to go before it locked up. If I wasen't already burning a DL disc I'd try putting it in Safe mode and trying again.

Same here, using a M3 Simply.
