OK, lemme just check if I've got the situation clear in my head. This is how I understand things, please correct me if I'm wrong.

- Game actually works fine. No black screens of death, etc.
- Works until you have to get a cow off the tracks and the AP stops you from doing so.
- Not working on ANY card yet.
- Similar problem to the Chrono Trigger 'infinite loop' AP system.
- Ergo should be fixable with a cheat code the way Chrono Trigger was fixed.

Aren't anti-AP codes Narin's area of expertise? Either way, I should think a code/patch/firmware update will be made available within a day or two. Knowing you lot you'll probably have it fixed sometime tonight. Until then I have plenty to be getting on with.

WCOD. White Cow of Death.

Presumably there are various other parts of the game knobbled in a simlar way and this is the only one we've seen because we can't get past it.

Please don't yell "FIRE!" in a crowded cinema, no matter how funny you think it is.

There isn't a fix yet.

Thanks

... seriously, ahah.

Back on topic, it seems Xenophobia is still working on a patch/fix for Might & Magic, so ... i guess we can only expect a fix for Zelda after that.

ZONR - Zelda of no return.
Once you reach a bit where Zelda is at the end, it crashes and your save disappears.
Wild guess.

For Supercard CF you get two white screens on boot.

The cow is quite irrelevant. The beginning tutorial on the train requires you have a gear that you can speed up, slow down, and reverse with. You also have to have a whistle. The whistle is what you need to use to get the cow off of the track and the gears is what you need to use to reach Zelda in under a certain amount of time. If you exceed the time limit you have to try again, and again, and again. The icons for the whistle and train are missing due to the AP. Quite ingenious Nintendo. Retail purchasers won't even notice the carefully constructed piracy, they'll just blow the whistle happy as a clam, not knowing that sluggish beast is holding up our show in the flashcart scene.

I project a fix by tomorrow.
