DS #3517: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (USA)

[nervx]

Anyone still rocking a G6lite get this game to work? If so what settings?

I just don't think I'm much of a GTA person. I would think the idea would be to keep a generally low profile if you wanted to get away with crimes, but the game makes it quickly apparent this is impossible. The AI has people running all over streets, cars making bizarre turns and crashing into each other with no interaction on your part. For some bizarre reason, you stop being hounded by police by killing them off. None of it is making sense to me.

So far I'm just not impressed and definitely not seeing the big deal, but maybe it gets better.

So since this site is loading hella slow, does it work with the latest M3 Firmware also? or just the G6?

 

[FlatFrogger]

how does it run on G6 Real but not M3 Real when both Cards run on same Firmware

Yeah...kinda wondering this myself.

I brought this up in the past regarding stuff like wii connectivity (G6 can do it, m3r can't) the answer I was given was "due to the way the cards patch roms before loading".

Take it as you wish, lets just hope M3 team get a new fw out for the real.

The iTouch DS team is aware of the save issue and is working on a fix for iTouch DS users. No idea at all when it will be ready though, but it's good to know it's being worked on.

Yay! iTouch DS ftw!

I think the streets are too small, and the turning is awkward in this game.

Anyways, what save file size do you use for SCDS to be able to save?

 

[Onelouder]

What card are you running?

SCDS1 with latest firmware

Ok I updated my SuperCard SD firmware and I now get the save screen which goes blank after that.

You have to have the Enable Patch box checked, but all the other boxes unchecked.

Screenshot maybe? Because I feel like I am doing it right but it still won't load up after choosing the save box.

It's funny how DS-Xtreme of all things is one of the working flash devices.
Ironic isn't it?

QUOTEALSO, this deity named "Narin" that you all worship can not save you. This is a save/load issue and can only be fixed via firmware update!

Laugh my ass off!
*bows down to Narin*


I'm a bit pissed that CycloDS doesn't work with this. I mean, this can't be the first game with a >512KB save file.

Just set it as nothing before loading the game, and when the game loads, click yes for autosave

Works on my AKRPG with official 4.11

Clicking yes or no for me I still get the 2 black screens afterwards

Completly wrong about it. Just Uncheck Enable Patch, and check Enable DMA. The rest leave it as it is.... then select a 512Kb Save File for it. I'm playing it, and it saves nicely. I tried to load a game, and i had sucess. I have a SuperCard One SDHC, and since the release of the game i'm playing it no problems. I posted this like in the 2nd or 3rd page of this thread

Hope it helped many

i used the sav from rapidshare that was posted here, hex edited it, and put it on the flashcard, i just tried with my dstt and i can play fine too but its not saving either.

can you upload that save file and give intructions on the hex editing?

I did that, and now I get black screens. I have all the patches and etc. turned off.

Game, make sure you have the most update firmware?
and the firmware has to be for SDHC
mine wasnt at first and i spent hours trying to get it to work >.

Which mode did you use? I'm trying to make this work. I don't have a SuperCard One, I have a SuperCard SD

 

[tobyx]

yo, all i did was convert a no$gba save to my Acekard 2 and I've been playing fr like 30 mins no prob, I used a converter that was linked on like pg 18 or something, people should try it out instead of wasting bandwidth by saying **** like:

"DSTT WORK?"

"OMG R4 IS SO CRAPPY! It can't PLAY GTACW!"

Grow up!

Unfortunately that doesn't work for all cards it appears.

Nitrodude, what No$GBA settings are you using and what AK2 FW version? This procedure didn't work for me.

sorry bro, i'm using acekard 2i, i think i should have made that distinction........ eh now i sound like an idiot, ok, on no$gba, go to ur 'emulation settings' and set the "NDS backupcartridge media" to 8kb EPROOM. Once that's done all u do is pay until the first save or w/e and then exit no$gba and copy the save over from the "battery" folder. (why its called "battery" who knows?!) Now it worked for me on Acekard2i running fw 4.15 but I doubt the "2i" is any different from the "2" so try what I said anyways, if u already did, then damn, I guess the $8 extra i spent on my Acekard2i was actually work it

could you please please (right now i am begging on my knees!) upload this savefile and share with all the Acekard-owner. i also have the AceKard2i like you! and i was trying the same thing you did, but no$gba will not start the game and keeps saying something about the save-file and unaccessable!

please share the file!! i will share this with the other users on the official acekard-bbs and give credit to you, that you are the creator of this idea!

PLEASE!!! :'(

 

[Smartpal]

I actually rubbed my eyes in disbelief. Is this working on Acekard 2 with AKAIO?

 

[FlyingPretzel]

dose it work on YSMENU ?
(on r4)
