ROM Hack DS Auto Trainer Maker (DSATM)

[citronvand]

Hello! Been trying the whole day now to get DSATM to successfully fix the anti piracy protection on Dragon Quest V (E) (The very long boat ride). I am using a M3 Real by the way.

As I have come to understand the only way for M3 users is to use DSATM as the built in cheating system in M3 doesn't work with anti piracy Action replay codes, so this is what I do with DSATM:

Make a cheats.txt file
In the cheats.txt file I write:

Piracy
0200819C E3A00000
020081A0 E12FFF1E

And then save of course. I put my "3396 - Dragon Quest 5 The Hand of The Heavenly Bride (E).nds" in the same folder as "DSATM.exe" and start "DSATM.exe".
On "DS Game" I choose "3396 - Dragon Quest 5 The Hand of The Heavenly Bride (E).nds", on "Cheat .txt" I choose my "cheats.txt" file which is also in the same folder, and on "Save as" I choose "3396 - Dragon Quest 5 The Hand of The Heavenly Bride (E) fixed.nds" which doesn't exist yet obviously.

After that I check "Slow Motion", "Enable/Disable" (Enable at start = Yes), the "Trainer" option is already checked so I leave it alone. Then I press the "Autopatch Game!" button and let the software work.

Then I start the game on my DS, I get a fast blink (white screen) once it started, and then the credits/intro start. Now I try L + R + Up/Down to see if the slow motion works, it doesn't work. I try and run around on the ship talking to everyone in game, yet, I am stuck at the ship, the Action Replay codes do not work. Nothing Works!

I have also tried using the ARM7 Fix where I take a random NDS game I have and rename it to donor.nds. I have also tried using the "DSTT?" option, it still doesn't work.

I have read that this is the only way to get it to work on a M3 so it has to work for some people, please, what am I doing wrong?

I've got an R4... for me I just did what you said but in the DSATM I didn't check the Slow Motion and the Enable/Disable thing.. I just left everything as it was when I started the program and just added the rom and the cheat file, then it worked for me... my .txt file called DQV.txt contains this: CODEGame Id: YV5P 9D159278

Protection Bypass Cheat
0200819C E3A00000
020081A0 E12FFF1E

try it... maybe I'm not helpful.. I don't know >.

Can someone tell me why when I try to patch a rom with codes from here I get files as opposed to nds files? Thanks.

Ummmmmm... What? What files do you mean?

The end result of patching a rom is just that. I check properties and they tell me its "File". So it doesn't show up on my Flash card.

Be sure you have activated the visualization of files extensions in Windows, then just rename the end of the file with .nds, it should work. To me the program made a file .ds, but I needed an .nds so I just renamed it and it worked ^^

Am I the only one who gets roms less in size and with crashed icon and game name (not filename)? I use M3 lite microSD, I've made trainers for 3 games so far (piracy bypass), and I had problems mentioned above in all three of them.

Ah... I think I know what the problem is. If you are using Unicode characters in the cheats then it won't work right.

BTW the output file being less than the original is normal as all the padding is stripped.

 

[Rock Howard]

Um, I remember I saved all of he cheats in ANSI. It has to work, hasn't it?

I've been trying to use the following codes in FFTA2(U)

[Earn 0 exp after battle]
C0000000 00000017
2212B13B 00000000
DC000000 0000011C
D2000000 00000000

[Reset everyone back to level 1]
921D5022 00000212
94000130 000003F3
B21D5020 00000000
1000001A 00000001
D2000000 00000000

[Convert Character to Illua (START + UP on the Unit Menu)]
921D5022 00000212
94000130 000003B7
B21D5020 00000000
20000005 00000009
20000007 00000001
1000000C 00000009
20000006 00000092
2000000E 0000005D
10000010 0000047A
10000012 00009502
C0000000 000000C6
20000052 000000FF
DC000000 00000001
D1000000 00000000
D2000000 00000000

The first and second code should work for the whole party, but they only affect the main character. The third code doesn't work, period.

I put the codes in the above format in cheat.txt, specified the unmodified rom and cheat text file, checked Trainer, ARM7 Fix, Enable/Disable and Enabled at start and finally used autopatch. The game runs perfectly fine on my DS-X, apart from the problems stated above.

 

[cracker]

If you send me a save for FFTA2 I can check it out to see where the problem lays.

 

[DukeZero]

FFTA2 save

My savegame, in DS-X format.

Updated to fix a small typo that resulted in a big bug for type B codes.

 

[Syzero]

OK, problem not solved after all.

even though i patched it myself, when dsatm starts rebuilding the PATCHED jump ultimate stars rom, it comes up with a game with 880 kb. any help?

 

[1ronlung]

OK Guys.

I've read through *every* single post in this thread and googled my tits off.. Can't find any info on my problem.

Using DSATM 4.3.4 My cart is a m3 perfect slot 2, however, this isn't relevant so far as I can't get DSATM to patch ..

The ROM I'm using is 3351 - Chrono Trigger (E).nds . It's in the same directory as DSATM, just to be safe.

I'm trying to revoke the anti piracy check :

Anti Piracy
0204E334 E3A00000
0204E338 E12FFF1E
0204E694 E3A00000
0204E698 E12FFF1E

As a side note, do you need to check the DSTT box when using M3 perfect ? Just for the future ...

Anyway, as soon as I select autopatch, I get the error "No ARM7 hook could be found"
Manual patch resorts in the same error.

This is absolutely wrecking my head at this stage .. Been at it for hours ..

Any help appreciated

Thanks,

ok, let me clarify my problem, my JUS rom is PRE-patched to english, and i have a rom i patched my self, but when dsatm patchs the Patched roms, they end up too small to be true. when i patch the original rom, it works fine. is there anyway to patch the Modified roms?

P.S. i tried manual patching and failed

but this is what i got in the .ini file if it helps:

ÜŠ

[AJUJ]
Name=Jump ultimate stars
TrainerOffset=0x23FE000
armToEmbed=7
armToHook=7

Get #0451 (don't ask where to find it)

Rename #0451 to donor.nds

Place donor.nds into the same folder as DSATM

Load the unpatched CTDS game and cheat code text file

Check ARM7 Fix

Check DSTT?

Click Autopatch Game!

Use the newest m3 Manager and m3 loader with the settings: Fast mode with Force R/W checked, Soft reset unchecked, trim off

I will take a look to see what is going on when I am able to. Am in the process of getting my computer back up.

Thanks for the answer, Cracker.

Will try tomorrow - late now

OFF TOPIC:i'm getting a bit impatient cracker so can u plz hurry up?

ON TOPIC: btw, i've noticed something about the codes. in narin's cheat database, the codes for JUS and JUS (english) are practically the same so i tried putting codes into the original rom- worked, and then patch it to english- but i failed.

 

[Burbruee]

Just found out about this tool, and had a nice idea in mind.
I wanted to use the slow motion feature of DSATM on Ketsui Death Label, in order to play the game slowly allowing for greater precision, save a replay (great feature of this game, more games should have this!) and see how it looks when played back at normal speed.

But I can't seem to get the slow-mo working I'm afraid, maybe it's not compatible? The patching is a success, I added one cheat just to check if that works.

^No problems.

The boxes I have checked are: Trainer and Slow-Motion with default keys (L+R+UP & L+R+DOWN, I've also tried different ones such as SELECT+L or just SELECT, but nothing works)
I've also tried the Enable/Disable, but the slow-mo won't come on whatever I try. Not compatible or something I have missed?

If it won't work, is it possible to make a AR-code for slow-mo?

Thanks.
