DS #5294: Ninokuni: Shikkoku no Madoushi (Japan)

[NamoNakamura]

There's a PS3 version with the same "story axle" (which I'm guessing the story is the same told from a different perspective, a new story altogether, or something similar) and its PS3 exclusive. That sort of diminished my enthusiasm. A lot.

Also, wonderful thing hearing about that book AP system. I'd accept that system back with open arms if it would help developers gain more revenue.

Judging by the movie, it looks like the BEST DS graphics to date! They have fingers and not Diddy Kong hands! (Inside joke. Play Diddy Kong Racing on DS/N64 to get the joke.)

Isn't PS3 the most powerful system right now? o-o

The PS3 is the most powerful, considering the 360 doesnt have blu ray.

Most probably.

Try backing the card up onto your computer, then formatting it.

I have no idea then...what firmware are you using on your cart? What firmware is your XL on?

You have to use bigger clusters to avoid the bricking issue. This rom is huge and overwrite the flash memory if you use small clusters.
Now i'm pretty sure you can recover your flashcart, but how, i have no idea. I don't have this flashcart.

Edit : perhaps with the help of a dslite ...

You need to flash it...dunno how though

what would be a good cluster size?
trying to reflash my acekard tomorrow, i lent my other flashcard to a friend so i can't test it earlier

 

[8BitWalugi]

it work on r4ds?

>>Implying it'd work on the R4.

Wait for a new version of Wood.

Try re-flashing the cart using the instructions here. This assumes you have a working NDS Lite or hackable NDSi/XL

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=231410&hl=

Re-format your SD card using the Panasonic tool with the defaults. That sets it to FAT which generally gets around this issue.

 

[doyama]

I'm truly surprised you need the manual as much as you do. And this thing is truly a 'manual' in the old school sense. The last time I saw anything this good was the original Fallout manual, and Baldur's Gate.

It's probably going to be a huge inconvenince in Japan though. As the thing is huge. In American it will effectively destroy used sales of the game. I'm doubtful the manual will survive more than a month in a typical American household.

I suppose 32KB is the best choice to avoid to use lot of space for the game FAT table in the flash memory.

;( Im using 1.8.1 Akaio , and XL 1.4 firmware, FYi evrything was working GREAT before trying NinoKuni.....

...

*head assplodes*
I dunno. I suggest doing what doyama said.

 

[doyama]

Basically you firmware on the Acecard is hosed. This can happen in very rare cases due to the way the sd card is formatted, in conjunction with the type of sd card used. Basically just do what I outlined previously and you will be ok. I'm assuming that finding another living breathing human with an NDS Lite, or a hackable DSi/XL should be easy

For R4 Users, take wood 1.19 et do this :

"1. Download Patch.rar (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ONTF7ZWI) and get a Patch.exe file from the RAR archive.

2. Drag your ROM and drop it onto the Patch.exe. That's it.

Note:
This path is not only for "Ninokuni: Shikkoku no Madoushi". It's one of game to be patched by Universal Child's Play Patch.
The file having the ".bak" extension is the backup copy of the original nds file"

The complete message is:

For DSTT User:

Copy the TTMENU.DAT files from the DSTT kernel to the root directory of your DSTT. And also, copy three files of infolib.dat, extinfo.dat, and ttpatch.dat from the DSTT kernel to the TTMENU folder of your DSTT.

Note: You must use DSTT Kernel v1.17a13 rev69(JAP) for implemeting the latest dat files.

For R4 User:

Use YSMENU with the same manner of the above instruction as like DSTT. Thus, use R4 YSMENU. You must use the r4patch.dat file that was included in this karnel, and copy it to the TTMENU folder of your DSTT.

Note:
The file of extinfo.dat can record up to 512 game titles. If the entry exceeds 512 game titles, the extinfo.dat can not be recognized by DSTT kernel. Therefore the special patch was applied to the three files of TTMENU.dat, r4patch.dat, and ttpatch.dat files. You must use these files together after this.

I found this on a forum. It works.
