DS #5336: Crystal Mines (Europe)

@Modecise

no there isnt a message or anything, it just erases my files on the ingame slots. Im not sure exactly which level it does it at, and i cant get the code to work on a r4i with r4cce or cheat extra, im doing something wrong i think.....

 

[modecise]

All right... I've lost my save file too.
Then I deleted the game, and play Boulder Dash instead...

Anyone know the way out of rocky horror level 12. Got All the crystals etc and light flashes for exit but cant find it anywhere. Any help appreciated

BTW only just joined but loving this site. Great Job

 

[petmar52]

Found it

In the bottom left corner.

"I was hoping it was a game where you mine deeper and deeper for ores."

You mean Minecraft?

DANG IT! SOMEONE HOMEBREW A DS VERSION OF MINECRAFT ALREADY! NOTCH MAKES TOO MUCH MONEY!

Glad to see others enjoying this game as much as I am! Especially after those disparaging remarks based purely on screenshots...
311 levels, in an 8mb cart, that's pretty impressive. It's gonna take me a while to finish this one!

 

[Oveneise]

Ha! Kind of ironic to see a game that was an unlicensed one on the NES, now gets a licensed release for the NDS. I liked the NES version, so I'll give this one a go.

has anyone completed level 13 i found all crystals etc but cant find warp to next level ?????????????????????

 

[Oveneise]

Hate to bump the thread, but did anyone figure out if level 9's masochistically short timespan is AP?

 

[GH0ST]

Level9 was always a hard one see there for the flash version

After using that AR code that was so very kindly posted up here, I started to really get into this game! Its a lot of fun... BUT... when I booted it up, my profile was gone! My save file for Crystal Mines didn't get deleted, so its one of two things, don't mean to finger point but:

1. AP deleted the profile

OR

2. Somehow the AR code did something?

I don't know, but I really want to play through this thing. I was playing on regular R4 firmware, not wood or anything. Anyone else experience this problem?

 

[StiNKy]

No problems here with saving. I'm up to level 24, enjoying this game thoroughly, although I wish I had more time to play it.

 

[Oveneise]

Happened again! Once I get up to level 12 (Rocky Horror, is it?) and beat it, when I turn the game back on my file is gone! I'll try on Wood R4 and see if the problem persists.

Hi

How to complete level 9 ?
Or how use the AR code with Acekard 2 ?
Or can someone after level 9 give me his .sav ?

Thank's

I made this AR code:

94000130 FEFF0000
020B1588 0001E800

Press R to set the timer to 30 sec.
It should help pass lvl. 9.

It's definitely anti-piracy. The actual game has 5 minutes as the timer for level 9.

Using the cheat editor is pretty easy. Even I who has never did it before was able to do it after a little reading.

Here's the gist of it:

1. Download r4cce and start it up
2. Click on Add Game
3. Click on the "..." button and locate your ROM. This loads the GAME ID into the editor
4. Change the Game Title to "Crystal Mines DS" or something similar
5. Click on Add Code
6. Change the Code Title to "Add 30 seconds to timer"
7. Change Comment to "Press R to activate cheat"
8. Paste the AR cheat that you see earlier in the thread into the Code List box
9. File -> Save, choose a name for your new cheat file
10. Copy the cheat file to your Acekard into the cheat subfolder of the acekard folder of your micro sd card.
11. Find the Crystal Mines rom.
12. Press the start button. Go to Properties and the Y Rom Settings. Find Cheat/Action Replay and make sure it's enabled.
13. Press the start button, Go to Cheats. Do Y to select database and find your cheat file. Then press X to rebuild.
14. You should see the 30 second timer show up. Make sure it's enabled.
15. Now you can play the game. Just press R button to reset timer to 30 seconds.

Thanks, but how to get this to work on Supercard One? put it in the root folder, pressed the y button but no cheats are showing. Does the advice above only work for R4?

Thanks

You need to find the documentation or a wiki for your card that explains how to load/use cheats. Google for it.

This link might be appropriate but I don't know since I don't have a Supercard.

Hi gtmtnbiker

Thanks for replying. Had a look at the link you sent; far too complicated for a simple brain like mine, it says I require software to convert a .cht file to .scc file, but the cheat file I have created following your guide provides a file ending .dat?????????

Maybe someone reading this thread has Super Card one, has passed lvl 9 (Dan's Maze) and can send me their .sav file?

Thanks

I suggest googling for how to add a cheat in Super Card. You just have to try out the instructions you find. I'm sure that you can do it.

In other news, I heard from the publisher of this game. They said that the game will be released in Europe very soon and will let me know if there are any US plans.
