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?
