Sometimes it runs on iTouch, sometimes it doesn't (one time out of five). It also erased my save when resetting.

That said the game does feel rather good - it's lacking a bit in character customization, but I'll live. Guess I'm off to Play Asia

Anyone try out local multiplayer? This does have local multiplayer as well right? and does this play like PSO where you can play offline, level up and use that same character online? Haven't gotten around to patching yet since I'm still doing chores >.>

It uses the same slot for Online and Offline, so I'm guessing it lets you level up offline. But you apparently can't play the online portion alone, however - it has to be the single player mode.
It has local multiplayer, but I don't have the correct amount of equipment, humans included.

Doesn't work on M3 Real, even with Narin's cheat. Locks up (white screen) when selecting a new character.

edit: Using the latest FW too.
Same issue here, none of the "tricks" people are posting are working ether.

I guess M3 is having major issues with this game....

@demonistrife:
Like PSO/PSU?

You'll love this then as it's just the same thing but on handheld.

No, really, it is. I haven't gotten it to work yet but I already know how it plays.

Just unpacked the game and looked at its data, there are several enemy files and some have "_rare" added to their name. So that confirms rare monsters if it hasn't been already

There's also a hard, v hard mode, and Dark Falz is a boss.

I'd just like to say that I HAVE gotten this game to work on my M3 real....but by completely different means (latest firmware). I used the DSATM to add the code directly into the game, the game patched without a problem, the only option I checked on the program was the DSTT one, don't forget to save the code itself as a txt file so it can be added. Then what I did was also enable the piracy bypass code via the cheats menu.

Shazam, the game works, have been playing for the past hour or so.

However....Now I'm not entirely sure if its just simply because of my illiteracy with the Japanese language. But I made a Hucast first,(all pso vets should be familiar with the race terms, i.e. hunter robot) and managed to get down to the fighting area. What's strange though is that I am unable to equip ANY type of armor or weapon, the only thing I can equip is my little baby MAG, which might I add I have not figured a way to feed it. I am able to navigate all the way to where you can feed it, based on the interface provided, but i cannot feed the damn thing a single monomate...nothin nada zilch. The whole weapons ordeal, I have played through at least a dozen different rooms, each room you clear, a drop box appears which spouts lots of goodies. I've picked up numerous sabers and handguns..all with 1 star rarity and it won't let me equip. Same for armors..found lots and lots of armors..can't equip a damn thing. Another thing I noticed is that the stats of the weapons(or lack there of) don't show any type of increase in my base stats at all; Saber stat for attack 55>55. My character's attack is 55, the saber should at the very least show what the attack will upgrade to once equipped, or even while viewing the stats...it does not.

At first I wrote everything off as race restrictions..maybe all the weapons I been picking up are for other classes/races. Then after I even went to the shop in town and bought a saber (1* rarity), I STILL COULD NOT EQUIP IT. Also did I forget to mention that when I set things to my shortcut such as healing items, they dont heal. At all. I'm thinking it may be because of how I patched the dam thing, may have glitched things up, so just now I tried to apply the AR code to to a fresh rom..Lo and behold, white screen at start up. So unless I'm missing something extremely pertinent in the little JP text that I've skipped through in the first 2 minutes of the game, my rom is playable but is glitchy. The majority of this post was mainly food for thought..as in..even though the code may work, Other glitches may be present..unless it was strictly the rom I made..I really hope its just the rom I made and not more preventive measures to pirates...

Can anyone help us M3 users? Narin..where arte thou for more assistance...

Ludamec, do you see names for the items? I can only see icons of the type and the description, not the japanese next to them.

When I think about it...no I dont. On the field when it drops I simply recognize the icon..I never thought there was supposed to be a name next to it after it drops..if thats the case then no I don't. Is it supposed to be like that? I do have the description though...

I'm pretty sure it should. In fact, the game is stripping the ID's from the items. Think of them like dupes in the old PSO games.
Now if only people with non-M3 based hardware would tell us if that also happens to them.

Im a M3 user, I too patched the cheat with a .txt using DSATM and I'm able to play the game without glitches or graphical errors or any thing out of order.
