DS #2949: Chrono Trigger DS (Japan)

[Gutentag]

The legend Has Came ALIVE!!! lol

I can finally play my long waited psx game on ds. FINALLY, japan has it now amd now we have to wait for pathetic americans to bring it over here ( i have a right calling NA pathetic since they ARE, we have to do all the patching for the great games like JUS.

you all better respect Unwise NA companies

Hail to the bastards

lol!

It's a Super Nintendo game, pathetic retard.

1.don't be so mean, even if he does seem to be talking non-understandable gibberish
2.it was officially ported to psx, but due to massive load times it was considered a big failure, so he's right too

No, he's wrong because he thinks it is a PSX game.

Ok to stop all the rguring and flaming, this isn't a game glitch or due to a problem with the flashcart. Square Enix have intentionally added a routine that get executed every time a portal is used as well at other key events that check to see if the game is running on a flashcard, if so, the game won't let you progress any further. This was an intentionally done by Square Enix to halt piracy of the game or at least slow it down.

At any rate, now that I got the bad news out of the way, time for some good. A solution to this problem is being worked on and near completion to please be patient and stay tuned.

thanks narin, i'll get you a kupo nut next time i'm at the shops

WHAT?!??!?! REALLY????

How close???



Any insight on the fix? Like how are you gonna fix it?

I can confirm this is working without any problem on the G6 Lite slot-2 cart. I'm just about to get the frog into my party, haven't receiving any problems as yet. Will keep you posted.

You're about to encounter a problem.

Time to play the organ : D

My uneducated guess would be that it's a matter of finding the routine, and patching it so that it always returns the same value (32k fram) regardless of what save type is actually in use. Of course, simple to explain doesn't always mean simple to execute.

But if the routine doesn't happen on emulators, how are they ever going to see/find it?

Maybe I should just stay out of the technical part of it.

What is the max crass method and does it fix this game?

32k fram doesn't work at all. i tried it with my save file, then also tried it with it deleted, it still freezes on the teleport screen.

It's a stupid name for a different method of replacing the arm7 file in the rom. No, it does not fix the game, read the thread.

ummm ... im using the g6 lite slot 2 solution aswell and i got stuck right at the beggining (1st portal) like everyone else. Did you use a save file to go through it?
Also i tried the rom on no$gba and i got stuck at the endless portal ...made me think maybe i got a bad dump ... but i guess that must not be it.
Good luck to who is being an absolute legend and trying to fix the annoying copy protection!!

Then why are people saying it works?

For those of you using slot2 carts make sure you have a real cart in slot1 and it will or atleast should work fine.

Because they're just assuming that works means "the game boots and plays fine"

Nobody seems to understand what is written in big red letters.

THE GAME DOES NOT RUN PROPERLY ON ANY FLASHCARD AT ALL. NONE. NADDA. THEY'VE ALL BEEN TESTED. IT DOESN'T WORK.

wait what? whered you get this conclusion from?!

 

[fraz_66]

Tried with DS-X and Max Crass Method. Got the portal freeze.

I read the DS-X works with this game, I guess it doesn't unless somehow I messed up the fix

Ok confirm working really temp solution

Switching back and forth between NDS and No$GBA, or just play using No$GBA for the time being to lessen the hassle

on No$GBA, go to Emulation setting, change the Save GBA Type to SRAM32Kbyte
after that, play through the stuck part, ie ALL the telepod (yea i've beaten Yakra and go back to 1000 AD and stuck on Telepod scene, need No$GBA to get through), first Piano scene, 2nd one can be play without hitch

then use this site to convert the No$GBA sav file to compatible sav file that is compatible with your cart
http://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php#

then put it back to your NDS and play with joy again, maybe until someone find a fixed solution, but this is what i currently

Check out this post:

The fix consists of an Action Replay code containing compiled assembly code that overwrites portions of the game code which handles the piracy measures. Its currently n the testing phase and being testing on several flashcards throughout the game.

I had about four different sources tell me that the 32K fram made it work; All of them said they tried it themselves. Now I see a bunch of people here saying it doesn't, and I try it myself and it doesn't. That means that at least one person who claimed that worked was lying, and at least one (myself) is naive.

edit: Narin, any chance we can get you to tell us how it was detecting if it wasn't legit? What did this routine do?

I've said it doesn't work 5 times already.

no one listens to to me.
