DS #4506: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (USA)

Hmm i cant seem to be able to get on the train, saving works though.

 

[blacksoul]

The save doesn't remove the copy protection, for that you need to use the crack...
The save is just there to prevent some crash at creation (like on M3/iTouch) and to permit normal saving feature (like on CycloDS)

 

[Tophalion]

Its not that i dont have the controls, it black screens.

 

[nitrostemp]

i know that.. theres a thing called reading the first page unlike some people

I can't get that save file to work. I've been using Quick Time Save up until where you get the sword, and I can't get it to save normally. The .save and .nds files are both have the same name, but I Quick Time load my game, save normally, and when I restart the game, it gives me a "Creating a new file" message and two blank save files. What am I doing wrong?

Using CycloDS 1.56b4.

That save file + M3 Sakura worked for me. Unbelievable... I can't believe this ordeal is finally over (for me, anyway). I'm almost so bitter about it I don't know if I'll even be able to enjoy the game now!

Thanks everybody for working so diligently on this, I totally appreciate the effort.

We EZ-Flash Vi owners continue to languish unfortunately. All seven of us.

AitchDeeTee You got to delete your old save file.

Then you got to do is download the save file from benighted. http://www.mediafire.com/?yd2jtmymemz

Then you got to rename the save file that you downloaded into the rom you are using like xpa-lzst-cracked to xpa-lzst-cracked.sav then put that on your sd card with the patched rom ok. Works well on an edge card so it should work on your card cyclods evo.

Anyone know how to patch the game on a mac?

This may seem crazy (only because everyone else recommends bootcamp or virtual pc), but I use an app called Darwine, which lets you run some simple windows exe files.

It's how I was able to use RDCCE and patch my New Super Mario Bros. ISO

Nevermind, figured it out. Damn, I feel stupid.

See, I had extracted the .sav file into my card's directory, but I had forgotten to rename it. Instead, I mistook the bogus .sav file MY flashcard created for it, and of course had the same name. Works great now.

For those using EDGE or CycloDS you can use this save,

http://www.mediafire.com/?yd2jtmymemz

Just rename it to the name of your rom and voala!

It was made using Desmume.

Enjoy, and thanks to all for their hard work

Ps. This is for the save problem not for the AP for that use the patch.

By the way..what did you do to the .sav file to make it work?

Edit: first post on a new page, kool.

So in essence there is no way to run this on an EZ Flash Vi short of downgrading the kernel, which will potentially cause problems for other ROMs that the newest version of the kernel was created to fix. Do I understand correctly?

Should I hold out for a better solution do you think, or is this simply the way it is?

Well actually i only got it working on my ds lite with the older ezfv for the ds/ ds lite model ds. I still have tried other firmwares for the dsi / ezflash vi yet . Im using 2.0 rc4 ver firmware for ezfvi . Just white screen errors after xeno -whatever logo (cant remeber).


I just grabbed another small micro sd card i had laying around put the older firmware 1.86 on there and the game works havent tried to save yet though and restart so im not sure about saving but everything else worked fine , mind you this was on my ds lite bc apparently 1.86 stable isnt compatible with ezfvi crappy.

I think that was a decent suggestion. It didn't work unfortunately, so I had to dig out my ancient Dell laptop to sort it out.

Cheers for the reply nonetheless

Oh man, I'd get the save file fix for M3 but I hate that stupid XPA logo at the beginning of the game

I'll just wait for a firmware update so it works with the clean ROM.

Come on, XPA provided the ROM and the fix at the speed of light , they deserve to have their logo displayed on our screens , that's the least we can do for them ...

I have an AceKard..with AKAIO 1.5..and the game runs fine, do I still need the crack or does it run fine with AKAIO without the crack?
