DS #DSi 0074: Art Academy (Europe)

[gifi4]

Using Wood R4 1.11 with clean rom, I got black screens after drawing the apple.
Created my own 8MB save file by opening command prompt, and typing:

fsutil file createnew c:\artacademy.nds.sav 8388608

and now all works fine.

You, my friend, are the greatest human being in the world, great solution, how'd you figure it out?

My question is how are you supposed to open the command prompt?
Or can we just use the save from the Jap version?

what are you running windows xp/vista etc?

If windows, (XP) open the start menu and to the right it should say "run"
then open that then type "cmd" in the space provided then the command prompt will be up and type
fsutil file createnew c:\artacademy.nds.sav 8388608

if Vista/ windows 7 open the start menu and type run then follow the steps for XP

Ah. Alrighty.

But my question about the Jap version's Save still stands.

AS for the Jap versions save, I'm not sure as I never played the Jap version, sorry.

So far, using the Jap version's save with the E ROM is working as perfectly as the command prompt way.
...........Or not.


Blaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh Any way of using the Jap version's save with the E ROM without freezes or black screens?

 

[gifi4]

hmm, I continued playing whilst using the CMD save file and it froze after doing the shading of the apple.

 

[ChrisRX]

Creating a save file with fsutil allows me to save consistintly but doesn't stop it from freezing when loading

Thank you very much, maybe with this savegame the game starts on several Flashcards, which makes troubles before...

For all, who have Freeze-Problems after the 1. lesson, 1. level, here is a small solution:

After you painted the stamp of the apple, and before the 1. lesson, 2. level beginns (where the game normally freezed), you have to press VEEEEERY FAST "Save and continue" and "Yes"!
After that, the game saves as normal and you come in lesson 1, level 2!
In lesson 1, level 2, please save the game again, and you can load it as usual!;-)
Tested with CycloDS Evolution!

???? - That's weird - I can't get it to work quite right on my DSTwo - Although the game runs & I can do the lessons, each time I start up & select a save position to either continue lessons or to view gallery - it comes up with 'sav file is corrupt' message & I've tried it in both patch and clean modes..... could it be due to the save size ?? - if so how do I get an 8Mb sav

I was just about to ask about a program that does that.

Tried it with my .nds.sav file, it didn't work, so I'm guessing .sav and .SAV only?

Uhhh seems to work fine on my DS2 as well... I'm done lesson 2, so pretty sure it saves fine. XD

Well - I've downloaded that 8Mb save file (in a few posts above) & 'Cleared data' from within the game so that I start from scratch) - Now it's saving with no problems at all

- so I'm guessing it IS something to do with the sav file made by SCTwo is not being big enough, so I don't know how PharoahVizier sav worked OK while mine didn't

Tried that save and yes it works but the game still crashes now and again. Looks awesome though! Love the sound of sketching with a pencil, especially through headphones.

What size is your 'sav' file - it may be that AKAIO is creating a small sav file & it's that which is causing a problem. (oh & is that AKAIO 1.7 or meant to be AKAIO 1.7.1 ??)

I am using the original R4 with Wood 1.11.

So whats this about the fixed japanese version with eng text? Do I lose out on anything compared to the eur version?

I updated to AKAIO 1.7.1 and am currently using the 8mb sav file available on this thread and the game works fine except that it freezes during the lesson at random points. I have no idea how to prevent it from freezing so I can play the game without having to continually restart the game. Help is much appreciated
