DS #5018: Dragon Quest IX Sentinels of the Starry Skies (USA)

[doyama]

I have the 'clean' version (kinda odd to call a stolen file 'clean', but whatever). Will that work on my Cyclo? It's on firmware 1.58 stable, I rarely use beta firmwares. Any freezes I need to be made aware of, potential problems, etc? I also assume this is not infected by the malicious code I heard about a while ago from Love Plus +, which permenantly F's up your card?

The whole 'this game bricked my cart' rumor was absolutely proven to be false. There isn't any code within the AP of the game that could brick your cart in Love++, Inazuma 11, or any other that was recently rumored. It came from a single post in the Supercard forums and could not be verified or duplicated by anyone.

damm I'm lateeeeeeeeeeeeeee I gonna download it now from my sources(some crazy ftp servers XD)

Ok, so what do we have here? Are SCDS2 and CycloDS updated to their latest loaders the only ones to run it clean? Everyone else needs the patched ROM or a FW update, right?

No other carts were able to run it clean?

I guess that means SCDS2 and CycloDS's auto-patchers are more than just catchphrases.

Heh, I can't help thinking of this thread as:

Pirate Quest IX: Flashcarts of the Angry Guys

No one is talking about the game itself. Just the patched/unpatched AP issues. I guess it's only funny to me because it works fine on my CycloDS.

At first, I didn't like the outline around the characters, but it really adds quite a bit to the perceived detail when the characters are small on the screen. It almost seems like they must have some sort of software AA going on in the game too. While you do see some jaggies, there's not too many, you know? It looks like 2X AA or something. It would have been nice if the maps would have been a little more detailed. Kind of vague trying to figure out where they want you to go next. That quarter-turn camera angle thing is cool, but it would have been nice if you could just rotate the screen 360 degrees. As it is, that bit of control doesn't really seem useful other than a bit of graphics flare.

[WrSmega]

well, after 2 hours clocked in the game, I just love it. Though I played some in the jap version, replaying those moments were still fun

I'm in NY actually so I'll be going to the launch event before it actually is released so ima laugh at those people waiting in line

Wood R4 1.09 + cracked//patched dq 9 is working for me (past first battle and saved)

 

[CortalRage]

BTW theres a cracked version by XENOM. found it linked on a site i use.

 

[Akotan]

Hmmm... for those running the clean ROM without troubles (yes, you that have the flashcart quoted by NFO file), what's the save file size? I'm just wondering a thing or two.

I have both, I'll try the XENOM one, thanks for the info ! (hope it works, strangely some games working on V1.10 didn't work on V1.11)

Here's the simplest patch for BAHAMUT's clean release. (credit to a 2ch dude)
The loading speed is slightly faster than XENOM's or intro removed XENOM's.
And it should work on (i)Edge too...

Arrrh, it so hard keeping myself from downloading this. I promised that I wouldn't download a copy until I actually bought it, but the wait is agonizing.

Damn slow UK release! Still 2 weeks to European release!

@Rayder-

Actually funny thing about the quarter turn screen rotation. There was a cheat i tried for the Japanese version (made by elixirdream) that let you rotate it 360 degrees. Lets just say there's a good reason you aren't supposed to rotate it that far. If you try it in a town for instance, the buildings don't have background textures and you can see the internal geometry (or rather, the insides appear to be empty boxes). Apparently they never completed the entire buildings in some cases...

 

[SargeSmash]

I'm assuming no one has a physical copy yet. I'm tempted to start playing now and use eepinator to move the save to my retail cart when it comes in. Hopefully that will be Sunday, but GS probably won't get it until Monday.

For the people that have the money to actually buy the cart: DO IT. I want to see Dragon Quest VI brought over, and I'm going to be extremely ticked off if it doesn't happen because everyone decided to pirate this one.

I would love to see that code in DQ IX US version
