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

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 >.

I have tried it with NOTHING checked in the patch window, and with only Enable DMA, and both work for the SCDS1. There is an issue with audio though. When you die, there is a garbled scratching noise that doesn't go away until you pause. And none of the radio channels work. And the cutscenes are all garbled noise as well. But the game works, and is awesome, so who cares.

I have confirmed this works on EZV v1 with firmware 1.70 using clean mode.

Here is the ini settings:

Spoiler

;0 4K
;1 64/512K
;2 2M/4M
[CLEAN]
bClean=1

[SAVE]
type=1

;set 1-12 as old setting
[SPEED]
speed=3

Change the speed setting depending on your microSD. Also note this only works on EZV made before the NYE (New Years Edition) as the save chip was removed due to problems with compatibility with microSDHC.

YAY! Got it working on my G6Lite.

Edit: spoke too soon, two black screens after picking autosave. help!

Just so you guys know, the Arm7 patched file doesn't work with emulators, but an unmodified version does...Not sure if this was said before or not...

 

[eyePop]

hope the cyclo team come up with a patch soon !!

You're about ten months late on that post... Last offical R4 firmware update v 1.18, April 24, 2008... R.I.P.

R4-III v3.09 - 2009-02-26

R4-III is a clone. R4 clone cartridges usually use a modified version of ysmenu.

Not really an "R4" then is it?

 

[CDzNutz]

Ok so I have tried...

Disabled Patch Cartridge Access - didn't work

I tried

Disabled Patch Cartridge Access & Enabled DMA Mode - didn't work

I don't know what else to do, should I try changing the ReadCardPatchMode?

I am using SuperCard SD....if anyone has a working sav file for it let me know or up it.

 

[Nottulys]

Anybody got it working on the M3 Real?

If not I'm just gonna wait for a firmware fix...

 

[Kingfield]

I dont get it. Daigasso band brothers DX had a save file size of 8mbytes.

So if we could get that working, why can't we get this?

You got to be kidding me..

 

[Mr.Mister]

Haha so I just loaded up GTA in No$GBA, THE GAME IS GREAT for what little I played of it.
So until GTA works on my CycloDS, I'll be giving myself a demo of the game on No$GBA.

(And before anyone asks, you have to set the save type to EEPROM 8kb.)

No, the SCSD is not working yet, I've tried all kinds of fixes, and all the patch options.

Nope, tried a few things here. I wanted to use the ROM as a taster to see if its worth picking up from somewhere, if theres no fix by the end of the weekend I might just roll the dice and hope the game is worth it.

Although one thing which has me thinking:

If G6 users can play it fine wouldn't a save from a G6 work for an M3R? They are the same basis card after all.

Unless i've missed a G6 save here (I dont think I have).

Anyway time for some shut eye I think

 

[FlyingPretzel]

i have an idea
have a lot of cons but
can anyone like hack the game and make is run but it dosent have to save or load
i dont mind just put my ds on sleep
better then nothing

That's a good idea, actually. Anyone with a G6 have a save that they know works?

 

[brissmas]

anyknow no if its on ak2i? im using akiao 1.4. it loads til it says would u like to turn auto save on and
then when u pick either to save in slot 1 or 2 it gos black.

 

[Nottulys]

I wonder.....can someone with a G6 save post it?

 

[eureca]

I wonder.....can someone with a G6 save post it?

Yea I second that request. The G6 save should be the same as the M3 real so its worth a shot.

So it seems that this is were the r4 starts to become useless....

You're about ten months late on that post... Last offical R4 firmware update v 1.18, April 24, 2008... R.I.P.

Umm, just shows how great the r4 is. It can run games today, with 1 year old firmwire.

I use the 1.18 Kernel, and this is the first game that actually doesn't work on it, even with arm7 fix\ar code.

Ok so there's Jedi and that aswell. But other then that, i can run all games on it.

so tell me, how is the r4 useless again? =)
