3. Any of the DMA modes?

how do i do this the loading screen always is yellow no matter what i hold

ok so i tried using an other microSD and it worked, does this game not work with SDHC? if so, its the first one i have encountered. is there something else that could be different?

I'm using 8GB SDHC class 6 myself and only encountered the slowdown problem.

I find it funny that people are still having trouble with this game. Xenom's patched release is working flawlessly for me on my M3 Perfect Mini SD (yes, an ancient slot 2 card that hasn't been updated in ages). No slowdowns at all. I've just finished dealing with the ragin' contagion.

so i got past the intro where you click tap to begin adventure and create new save, using the clean rom on an 2GB card but now it freezes there (the music keeps playing over a black screen)

...Looks like i may have to wait for a loader fix...

I'm puzzled. I have the same setup as you. AK 2.1 with Akaio 1.7 on a regular DS and I haven't had a problem yet.

Nope. 2GB Kingston MicroSD. I know, I need to upgrade but I will say this one has never acted up on me.

I have question involving the game. Once you get sent down to help the village, what do you do? I already helped somebody and talked to everybody in the town.

This is gonna sound weird..did you pick up the horse manure in the stable?



EDIT: @alexei_gp. Yes that Rom size is normal. While it is true that most are 128MB or under, certain RPG's are heavier(such as Suikoden Teirkris and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days).

There are games that are 256MB. Those tend to be games heavy on nice graphics and cutscenes and stuff like that.

[alexei_gp]

[Halo-101]

256mb is normal size and all i need help on this game i am in the village and have picked up all the horse manure from the barn where to go from here?

P.S XENOM Version Intro Removed by Batch File Patch Working 256mb Perfectly So far with Wood R4 1.09 Autoboot Incorporated By Xenon++ With DSCovered.

 

[Kronusdark]

i tried the patch in the rom hacking forum it got me to character creation but it kept locking up randomly during.

Agreed. Inazuma Eleven 3 was 500MB and 4096Mbit iirc.

The DQ9 Bahamut release is around 130MB though... once you patch it with the .ips patch it raises to about 250MB or so.

Talk to the dog behind the item shop, he'll show you a ring on the ground, pick it up. Go to the church(I think), speak to the woman there and give her the ring.

Now just head back toward the waterfall.
