DS #4492: Might & Magic - Clash of Heroes (USA)

[GeekyGuy]

Totally worth the wait, and a shout out to those folks who worked on patching it. Many thanks!

I loaded it up to the save select screen fine on a DSTT running the latest unofficial firmware.

I must say: I do enjoy the Xenephobia splash screens. Maybe not this one in particular because it looks a little cheap with the MS Paint edit of Super Mario World, but if it's cool it reminds me of the kind we used to see on SNES and Genesis roms.

Yes, is just show the title of the nds game.

The nfo.nfo file?

 

[Bowser-jr]

Okay, I was able to read the NFO file, now It won't patch, I keeps saying "xdelta.exe: expected from file (xpa-mmch.nds) of length 333554432"

Applied the patch but I still get a black screen on Ysmenu

the patch will created a patch rom called ''xpa-mmch-cracked.nds'' (about 24 Mb size), if you don't have this rom, you didn't apply the patch correctly. It work for me on Ak2i, AKAIO 1.5.

 

[Bowser-jr]

okay, I don't know if this is my PC or the rom but is the file size of the original NDS suppose to 32 or 23.6?

original-rom is 32 Mb, the patch-rom size is 23.7 Mb.

 

[Bowser-jr]

okay, well, something weird is going on, the rom file will say it is 32 but then it will say 23.6. I don't know what is going, some one please help.

What rom are you talking about? There will be 2 roms, one is a clean-rom named "xpa-mmch.nds" and another one is "xpa-mmch-cracked.nds" (supposed you didn't changed the names after patch). The clean-rom (xpa-mmch.nds) is 32 mb, the patched-rom (xpa-mmch-cracked.nds) is 23.7Mb (as in my comp). Forget about the "xpa-mmch.nds", just copy the "xpa-mmch-cracked.nds" into your flashcard and play it.

 

[Bowser-jr]

okay, found the problem, some how, my rom trimmer was automatically trimming my roms.

 

[wellrested]

Ok, so. I have used similar patching techniques before, using my ancient windows PC. Alas, the dinosaur has finally given up the ghost... is there any way to do this on my mac? I've been looking for pre-patched rom tracker files, but have had no luck.

Either way, all hail Xeno.

Edit: Found a site that offers pre-patched roms. Just needed a little more Googling. Is it ok to post such sites here (i.e., the general site, not the specific URL)?

Upped on FileTrip: AP Fix

 

[swornsecrets]

cool now i can move this over to one of my other cards

Anyway, now that I can actually play it, my impressions:

- It's addictive. Not the fatally addictive Puzzle Quest: CotW, but still damn addictive
- A great mixture of turn based RPG, strategy, and puzzling. It takes a lot of thinking and plotting to get the best way to win.
- RPG aspects aren't exactly deep, but it's much more of a puzzle game anyway.
- WHO THE FUCK CARES IF IT'S A CRITTER CRUNCH RIP OFF OR WHATEVER YOU GUYS ARE SAYING? If it's fun, it's fun. Puzzle Quest was a rip-off of Bejeweled, oh the horror!
- For those of you having trouble patching it, you have to name it xpa-mmch.nds first.
- Overall, excellent game, a must have or a must try.

The team who made this game also made Critter Crunch, so I don't think anyone can call it a ripoff. Was Wings a Beatles ripoff? No, they sucked. Man they sucked. Anyway, I'm hoping this is the game I've wanted to play every since Puzzle Quest's cheating AI caused me to return the game I loved. Galactrix and Puzzle Kingdoms could have both been amazing if they had actually tested them properly and/or listened to feedback.

Downloading patch now

finally a game to play

EDIT: Can i get a link to a patcher to apply it XD

 

[GeekyGuy]

To sum up in a word: Excellent.

There's nothing about this game so far I think I could knock. The battles are just so satisfying.
