That's really awesome, haha.
But do you know if this is non-linear?

Only real "solution" I've found is to not use a party of 4. I've been grinding a party of 3, and I'll see how it goes later in the story.
i can play with a party of 4 with no problems at a stable 30fps
Haven't you already said multiple times that you're playing on an emu? Most (if not all) flashcards and even the retail card have the slowdown issue on a 4-man party.

Actually, a few people in the thread said that the game runs faster for them, faster than a retail.

How bad is the slowdown for you guys? i'm having it as well,but just minor dip here and there,but tolerable. compare to Blue dragon which is scary as hell when the frame drop and kinda impossible to play multiplayer which slow down all the way....

Also,anyone with a Japan kingston(or whatever top of the line MiniSD)on AK2i have any comment?

edit: why not try format your SD card and repatch the game on another clean rom

Itried that too, either i have 2 bad acekards or 2 bad MicroSD's or there is something else going on here, perhaps its a difference between the different hardware builds i think mine are all "80". well i will just wait for the new loaders in the mean time, they always help me.

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...

CRC: aace5e9c -> eb483904
Code:
00004420: 1C 00 9F E5 00 10 90 E5 18 20 9F E5 02 00 51 E1
00004430: 14 10 9F 05 08 10 80 05 10 10 9F 05 B4 10 80 05
00004440: 1E FF 2F E1 A4 8A 1D 02 F0 95 5F E1 56 A7 A9 39
00004450: 3E BE AA 36
00004A18: 80 FE FF EA

Great game - just wondering if anyone has found Sellma at Quester's Rest?
I think you need to talk to her to get to the wifi store - anyone know anything about this?

Anyone else just keep playing this fulling knowing they will be doing it all over again when they pick up their retail copy Sunday morning!!
I just play it on my flashcart, buy to support the developers and it looks nice in my collection. Though the buying part is rare, I do it for rare games like DQ9 which the developers weren't sure if they even were going to localise it. We have to support them.

just Because you are playing the ROM you don't have to stop using the Rom
you can still buy the game a keep playing the ROM



when you get get to the 2nd town, go to the INN, and you can make your party

I find it strange how many people are complaining about the slowdown. I'm using an R4 with Wood and what I'm pretty sure is a generic nameless microSD, and I've found the lag to be completely tolerable. It actually looks more like a frameskip in an emulator than slowdown to me, as it hardly hinders my gameplay at all.

When I upgraded from an R4 with an SD to an AceKard with an SDHC I definitely noticed more slowdown on 3D games.

There is slowdown?

I haven't noticed any. Also, using Wood R4 with some generic microSD.

Which town, I didn't see anything in Stornway, well I did but isn't that for the co-op? I check again to see.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
