[ryukyus]

I'm pretty sure this game will get a north america release , but since the game have not yet been release in japan, if I were to guess I would say March or june don't know just guessing

I'm a little confused about how to patch this game on my itouchds. The itouch has a cheat function, but is it restricted to these .cht files only or could I use .dat or .db files? On another note, I'm completely lost on how to edit these cht files as well.

For the M3 Real or cards based on the M3 Real like the iTouchDS, you have to patch the game using DSATM. Its due to the way the M3 Real handles cheats which makes them not work on their cards.

Strange, I'm actually able to use a .db file, but using the itouch's 'Always On' function doesn't get me to character creation. Only by activating it (select + left) can i get it to work.

Is there a translation in the works?

I'd settle for a translation of the menu options really. Over time I can figure out what weapon does what and it's a big plus if you've ever played any of the previous PSO games as the layout except for certain parts is almost identical. Gameplay is generally the same, and since the menu is auto-sorted there's not alot of guessing what each item does other than weapons.

EDIT: Just some little quick shortcuts for those playing...

Emotes (Perform while in the city.)

L TRIGGER+D-UP: Cheer
L TRIGGER+D-DOWN: Dance (Hold to keep dancing.)
L TRIGGER+D-LEFT: Disappointed/Shake Head
L TRIGGER+D-RIGHT: Wave (Hold to keep waving.)

Holding R with said button combos does an emote of the opposite gender. Much of the emotes are simplified versions of Phantasy Star Universe emotes.

* Holding X and pressing L TRIGGER or R TRIGGER lets you rotate the camera.
* Holding START and pressing L TRIGGER brings up the Item menu.
* Holding START and pressing R TRIGGER brings up the Equipment menu.
* Holding L TRIGGER allows you to strafe and if near an enemy, lock onto them.
* Pressing SELECT while in Chat or Map Modes allows you to toggle between them.
* You can press X in addition to A to pick up items, using X is easier to prevent accidental mis-fires on items or technics.

Whoa, definately the shortcuts I've been looking for. Thanks!

Well i think it's another bug. The game freezes just before the boss of the first quest (offline mode)... It's strange and i don't know if it's just me or if you already get stuck at the end (just after the speech and the earthquake)....

 

[Ty90999]

I need help. The game gives me white screens when I use the patch. I'm using a n-card.

 

[Narin]

I added a bunch of cheats for this game!

Warning, do not use on WiFi, will cause freezing and other problems.

Just a note to make: Like the gag weapons in PSO and PSU, PSZ has them too. I'm not sure where I picked it up from but I got a Watering Can Gun. Yes, it's LITERALLY a watering can. If I can I'll try to upload a pic or vid of it or something... I can't be sure but I think it came from one of the story mission quests. For Human characters, after you beat the first area, head to the mission counter and choose the mission with a "NEW" tag next to it. You'll have to fight on the plains with some random cut scenes panning back to the Principal's office with this female android. After beating the dragon there, you'll be treated to a few more cutscenes. Again I'm not sure if this was how I got it but I chose both top answers after beating it with both questions she asked me and then went back to the counter for my reward. As I was going thru my obtained drops I equipped a gun icon one and it looked like a watering can.

So does this happens to anyone else? I've seen some reports around the topic with the same problem, but dunno if this is card related. You should post what flashcard you have.

Seems people are busy with wi-fi ^^

Anyway, I'll wait for the english release, hope it doesn't have many problems as this :x

 

[shadyboy]

so whene is the english realse comming? if its comming at all

 

[Dr.Norton]

unless the story is captivating, i never want to play this. im so sick of anime looking games.
you can make things look simplistic without it looking like Anime

the only plus i see is using lo-poly models in the DS (which i like) i hope there getting the hang of it.

on the plus side, who doesnt want to go slay a dragon with a big damn sword? lol

For the M3 Real or cards based on the M3 Real like the iTouchDS, you have to patch the game using DSATM. Its due to the way the M3 Real handles cheats which makes them not work on their cards.

That's strange, I just activated your cheat-code in the system menu with your .db-data and started the game.
After ca. 15 sec of a "White Screen" the game started and I had no problems with it anymore.

Has anyone found a solution to the problem of the game not saving properly? It seems to work fine, then when I load the game up again, all my characters are gone. Anyone?

Same problem here. I used the code and it can create the character and save just fine. But when I load up the game again, all the save slots are empty.

The cheat has to be active as soon as the game starts or the game will delete your save. With the M3 Real and all the cards made by the M3 team like the iTouchDS have it so cheats aren't activated until after 10-15 seconds after the game is loaded. Meaning that the cheats will work fine after the 10-15 seconds and you can play the game normally but if you restart, the save will get deleted.

You will have to patch the game with DSATM to patch the game to make the cheats work as soon as the game is loaded on an M3 Real, iTouchDS and so on.

I've been trying for awhile but seem to be unable to get this game running on no$gba.

What do I need to do to get it running?

Currently it crashes after the opening cutscene.

Thanks for any help!

Can anyone here translate the commands that we can use for our party during single play? Theres like a arrow pointing down on the touch screen and if you press it, theres a list of commands. I dont know what they mean :S. Thanks if anyone could.
