lukecop, you get the penny either in the whisky bottle in your room or the pinky rabbit moneybox in your closet. It's one or the other, I can't remember. For the moneybox, you need to use a ruler to get the coins out.

CODE

 

[leshracbelmont]

For those complaining: The Wood firmware is open source. It fixes this game with a patch, not a bugfix to the firmware. So theoretically, you should be able to borrow that patch if you know what you're doing.

It's located in patches_pr.cpp, and it calls the method PatchOverlay10 to apply the patch. The actual compiled patch is located in unprot_10.bin in the repository, and it replaces several pieces that have been stubbed out with EFC0DExx in the binary. By reading through the code by hand you can come up with that memory addresses would be getting patched.

Here is what I believe will get written by that method for this game, in the form of an AR code: (I did this by hand, so there's a chance I may have made a mistake somewhere)

02085894 EA0DDAD9
E23FC400 000000B0
D809CFE1 000081E5
1080BDE8 0000A0E3
03402DE9 DC08CFE1
060051E1 0000001A
000081E5 0380BDE8
F8402DE9 0163A0E3
087296E5 086286E5
045296E5 022BC5E3
042286E5 0040A0E1
020951E3 0219A033
B704A0E3 210480E1
0010A0E3 34209FE5
32FF2FE1 4136A0E3
2C109FE5 A41186E5
A42196E5 021512E2
0100000A 101093E5
041084E4 021112E2
F8FFFF1A 045286E5
087286E5 F880BDE8
08A30702 A1416657
5AF50DEB 9CEE0702
C8F70DEA 08E50702

Of course, this assumes a few things:
1. That the memory region at 023FC400 is not used by whatever cart you're using.
2. That the cart you'd use actually supports the 'E' code type.
3. That whatever is being patched here is the reason it's failing everywhere.
Edit: Also, an AR code would be a bad idea for this because it only needs to be written once.

I don't expect the above to work for anyone, but I thought I'd post it just in case it might. (It was a good exercise to see how quickly I could figure out what it was doing.)

On a side note, if you're going to order this (and don't live in Europe) I wouldn't recommend game.co.uk. They claim to ship internationally, but apparently they flag all international orders as suspicious or something. I was hoping to get it faster and cheaper directly from the UK, but it looks like Play-Asia is the only reliable choice.

Just to let anybody know, the AR code does not work w/ latest extinfo libs on R4 YSMenù, it continues freezing randomly.
* Sigh * !

Tried on CycloDS, the code gives white screens.

as far as i know only Acekard R.P.G is open source, neither Wood R.P.G or Wood R4 is Open Source....

QUOTEFirstly it would be important to state some facts here. Wood R4 is based of Yellow Goblin’s firmware for the Acekard RPG which had an open source code. So to describe it as AKAIO for the R4 is not correct. Also some people are wondering about Team Acekard, I can only guess that they don’t care. The AK RPG is no longer in production and is no longer supported so they wouldn’t have anything to gain by Wood RPG remaining exclusive.

[panmusic]

I can't believe that no one bothered to release a fix yet-if at all...

 

[Eruonen]

I can.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Why don't people go make their own thread and post the spoilers in that. This thread is about the release and hopefully getting a fix. Stop posting spoilers, good lord. I'm not reading them, but come on...

 

[DeMoN]

I agree, someone should make a help thread in the NDS section.
Nothing worse than having the game spoiled before you can even start it.

How many times are you going to apologize? Instead of apologizing every time you do it, why not just STOP doing it.

You failed because you only used the first half of the code. You need the ending code [/spoiler] at the end, to close it in. Second of all, instead of clicking "add reply", you can click "preview" first to make sure it looks right. And third of all, you CAN edit your posts. There's an "edit" link in the bottom right corner of every post you create.
