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

[Calam05]

you must hate old school zelda i take it... well this game is going be good. i can tell. but did anyone see the tv ad that's some scary ****!!

my absolute favourites are 1 and 2 on nes. i dont know which i like more. probly the 1st cos of the mad 2nd quest when your done. i still laugh when i think some people must of put their names as zelda, then discussed the game with their friends and had no idea what they were on about cos it was all different hahahahah

@Gacktgacktgackt:

If you bothered to read ANY of the news on this game you'd know that most, if not all, the issues with PH are resolved in ST. The story is apparently the darkest and most interesting since MM. Also, anybody who complains about the train is an idiot plain and simple. In PH there was a steamboat, now there is a steam train. In MM there was a fucking mechanical monster! In TP there are not only canons, but magnetic fucking cranes. Why are people so willing to suspend their disbelief for every other Zelda game, but now people piss and moan about this one??? It makes no sense.


PS: A LOT of people loved the stylus controls. If you don't like it, get over it. Wait for a d-pad hack on top of the AP fix.

Apparently someone missed where I said all of that was pure speculation on my behalf

so, spirit tracks is set 100 years after the events of phantom hourglass?
its strange how link never ages :L

so at the moment, the only flashcart that works fully with this game is a cloned version of the R4?
intruiging. :L

theres also another thing thats strengthening anti-piracy in games: the impliment of DSi features in some games like assassins creed 2, or the new KORG-10.
these dont work on normal DS flashcarts.

i know its off-topic, but its a point that must be made.

Maybe this release will push the AKAIO Team for new firmware.

we can keep dreaming. AP is becoming more and more prevalent,. As they get better , so must the pirates.

 

[Xoo00o0o0o]

Maybe this release will push the AKAIO Team for new firmware.

Highly doubt it as AKAIO 1.5 has nothing wrong with it. It just needs a loader update.

I haven't touched my DS in a few months. I've been meaning to try out a few games, COD, COP, and a few others I think. When the anti-piracy is finally released, I may put a bunch of games on my cart again. To bad I have almost no time to play this.

Relating to this though, I pretty much had 0 anticipation for this. I didn't even know it was coming out so soon.

sorry to say but all Links are differnent

 

[Muffins]

on that note, we've done water and land. Suppose it's time to take it o the air. *sigh*

Already done.

For the record Link's transportation have included (but not been limited to)-
* Land animals (horses, kangaroos, etc)
* Teleportation Holes (Such as in Link's Awakening)
* Hanging off bird legs in the air (ALLTP, LA)
* Boats and Rafts
* Cannons
* Whirlwinds
* Leaves
* Time/Dimensional Portals

So the train is just the latest addition to a rather large list of transportation options the little guy has used.

No, it's a different Link. There's a lot of different links. Majora's Mask and OoT share the same Link. Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass share the same Link. So on and so forth. However, each one is a different person. We're not in Quantum Leap, people.

Stop making fucking useless posts. Grow some common fucking sense. Jesus Christ...

Maybe this release will push the AKAIO Team for new firmware.

And maybe the official R4 team will release a new kernel.
Or maybe monkeys could come out of my butt.
ORRRRRR
The next Zelda game could feature a good ol trusty steed instead of their flying yaggermacallits gizmos.

It's usually new people that happen to look exactly the same, have the same name, and are destined to be a hero...
Also, apparently its working on the M3 Perfect, too

 

[Calam05]

M'kay, my half truth half talking out my ass explanation. Mostly the latter.

So, the game has a bunch of built in "checks" for anti-piracy. If you reach a check and the AP isn't disabled, you can't progress. It could be as simple as not loading the game at all (which some people have had problems with) or making it impossible to progress past a certain point (such as not being able to use the train functions in the game). These checks can be a few to hundreds. A patch is needed to disable all these checks. If you don't really understand it, there's not much use fiddling with the ROM. Your chances of being an amateur hacker and getting the game to work are one in a million. Just wait patiently, play Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, and soon enough a patch will come. It can be hours, days, or even weeks. Hell, it took damn near a month for a fix for Bowser's Inside Story to come along for my old R4.

the checks are the thing i dont understand. does it check your game card for other data and stuff like that?

edit: not trying to hack it, im a PE Biol teacher lol. just trying to understand how it works.

reincarnations through time, to be precise. Different hair and eye color in addition to a different dominant hand, as well as different geography to hyrule.

 

[geoflcl]

Perhaps the AP wasn't as simple as we originally thought. Which would explain Xenophobia's delay (which I don't really think is that bad of a delay, but still...)

Anyone try poking around in the ROM yet?

I never have updated my loader, just the firmware, which of course, comes with new loaders. Never have I just updated the loader though.

i had no idea. D:

 

[Naruto123]

did you guys notice theres barely anymore spamming, everybody is talking about zelda!!

 

[DJPlace]

There is not a single worthwhile post in this entire thread.

Yes, and you just added to the non-worthwileness

Guys, talk about Zelda! The game, bypass, antipiracy....Not Photoshop and pointlessness if the thread!
We know it's pointless, but seems like most of you need a thread to vent

why must we talk about zelda spirit tracks? we could talk about anything that's releated to zelda also so as a capcom game would say all rules are made to be broken. or was it scores now back on topic again this game looks like a very nice sequal to the PHG but i think there is a lineback look alike. i wonder what is names going be linebuck? that is if he is in the game.

 

[xicyacex]

We could ride on a flying Yoshi on the next Zelda game!
