DS #4703: Estpolis: The Lands Cursed by the Gods (Japan)

[elixirdream]

darn, i wish my knowledge of japanese was more than 1 year of crash course.

and haiz, i thought that girl was selena. But hmm, if this is similar to lufia 2 story, i guess tia and maxim will break up in the not so distant future.

i am not sure about that

but the girl surely is awful with cooking
after maxim got her a HARP
then she cooked for maxim
i wasn't paying attention but i saw her she smack something real hard until maxim was shocked

later on.. she presented a dish to maxim
it was some brownish dish
a huge one

maxim was like... Uhhhh....

 

[Demonbart]

When I try to patch the CRC, I get this weird error message in japanese.

 

[mrfatso]

oo, hmm, if i recalled correctly, maxim and that girl who cooks and live with him, do have some feeling, so yay, i guess this will mean that i can expect a new story

So, anyway, is there any new skills in this game and if so,how do u get new skills?

 

[dreassica]

The patch gives me a load rom errcode=-4 on my r4isdhc

[mrfatso]

I see, well, thanks for the info.

if you get a few lines of japanese

Is it fixed now...?

by the way, for those who are playing this game..
what do you all think about it?
worth the replay or what?

i didn't play the old version
so i think i might give this a try even though the graphic is a little ermm
sorry high expectation from Square Enix

 

[mrfatso]

nope, didnt work for me, it's the same save data cannot be access stuff. O well, guess i wait for new firmware update either from edge or acekard.


And elixir, if you do play lufia 2, just one small hint, overgrinding pays greatly for this game. Also, make sure u make a save state before any boss fight and if the next hit is the finishing, make a save state there and keep reloading, simply because the boss do have rare drops and some of the item are really great.

Spoiler

Catfish gem ftw

Guess i play that one of these days, hopefully by now, i would have figure out that bomb puzzle solution, which is one small issue i have with the game, some of the puzzle are a piece of cake, while others are pretty frustrating.

thanks for the hint ....

the first boss was crazy! i know we might meant to lose
but it was a little hard to jump on to his hand to whack the thing
out of 20 tries
i was able to hit him once
and it was just a meager 7pts damage

i hope the rest of the boss won't be as crazy as this
otherwise, 1 hit kill code

 

[mrfatso]

hey, on the bright side, if its like lufia 2, u probably get rewarded for being able to kill him(but wow, this early in game, i am impressed or should i be annoyed?)

haahhahaha.. no idea mate..
since i don't like using cheats while gaming
so we won't know until i decided to go nasty and restart the game with a 1 hit kill code

anyway, i am out !! ZZzzz *SICK*

ok, I think im gonna make you guys VERY happy. I found this link on a Japanese site, with a patch:Estpolis CRC Change Patch from [C8A85A8B] to [5E9060DF].

get it here.

these are the steps:
1. Download the CRC edit and use it on your rom.
2. Apply the Childs play patch, here.(if you're using R4, then use the "For R4" patch.
3.Patch the rom and it should work,if not, there are some extra files (might make it work if it still doesn't, here)

Hope I Helped!

Anyone confirmed this to be working?
I'm gonna test it, I'll report back to you whether or not it worked.

Thats strange, lets see...It works for me on R4 now , im lvl 12 ;D,so it IS working and i tested myself , ill talk u trough how I did it.

1-i downloaded the ROM and dragged only the .nds file to my desktop.
2-after I did that, I dragged the CRC patch AND the .txt file in it to my desktop(maybe thats where you went wrong. you HAVE to drag out the .txt file from the CRC patch too.
3- i dragged my .nds Estpolis ROM on the patch, and after a short while it said 100% and what LOOKS like an error message,
however, it just says patching is complete(note: if it gives a window when the patching is still at 0% this time, it still failed, but if it does on 100%, it worked for you now.)
4- after you completed the CRC patching, you drag out the Childs play patch ( drag out patcher only)
5- rename your .nds ROM to : Estpolis.nds(says so in the childs patch read me) and drag it to the patcher to patch it.

It should work now YOU DONT USE YSMENU!! cos normally some games work with it, but in this case, it only works without ysmenu on my NDS

Hope i helped u dood

I still get white screens. Oh well, unless a real, working patch comes along soon, I'll wait for the english version.

 

[cosmiccow]

This is looking awesome. I will wait for the english version and play Shiren The Wanderer in the meantime.

 

[Magris]

Can anyone explain to me how to get this to work on no$gba?
When I try loading the rom, all I get is a white screen.
And when I start the game from the boot-up screen, it says image crashed.

I've read the thread multiple times and I just got confused. So if it's possible, anyone want to give a step-by-step guide as to how to make this work with no$gba?
