Hacking DS-X and Zelda:PH Compatibility

[Tanas]

DS-X fails 3 times in a row...guys, just get the R4. It's obvious the DS-X team isn't doing anything.


Why would you get an R4 now when there are much better carts out now. The R4 is cheap though.

And what might those carts be called ?.

really wanting to try zelda out, no fix yet and none probably coming :'(

I have a DS-X, it's working fine now, but I wish I would have come to these forums before buying it. Dh knew a guy at work that had one and liked it so he said it was a good card. I had no idea there were better options out there for a fraction of the price. So I don't have any complaints about how the card functions, I'm just ticked off that I paid so much for it not knowing all the options out there. Usually dh is the computer guru who knows all this stuff so I trust his judgement, but from now on I'm doing my own research as well

Just in case someone is interested in playing Zelda on the DS-X, read this:

That procedure should allow to play SimCity USA and Hoshigami too.

Thanks for this info, Just tried it on Sim City using the Jap arm7, putting it into the USA one, works on the DS-X latest FW.

Its sad when the users come out witha fix before the actual company. Just goes to show you this fix is like a 2 minute job for the team and they arent doing it.

 

[KirbyPink]

ive tried with SimCity and that other game and it does work with latest firmware

Finally something to play.

Back in the good old days, w4r3z groups would crack protected software before releasing it. They didn't just write "you need the right hardware" in the intro scroller.

Well technically, this is patching each file. I'd assume that the DS-X team is trying to make a more permanent way to run these new games rather than having to patch each game (with some patcher that overwrites the old ARM7 files). Then again, I have little faith in the DS-X team, so we should probably just pray.
Those people who think we're making so much fuss over a single game - they have updated the Arm7 codes and the DS-X team has not done shit. That means all future games may have this new ARM7 protection, leading me to believe that, from now on, games will not be playable on the DS-X. It also goes to show how long the DS-X team takes to come out with updates and how shady they are (by deleting posts and banning users). We have a reason to be upset -- one game, or a thousand.

I've been saying this on the official forums forever, but everyone still keeps going with the "You don't have to play Zelda that bad." I don't care about Zelda, I care about the fact that since this new protection obviously works, everyone who makes NDS games would be foolish not to include the eeprom check on ALL games...

Well, I called 'Sherlock' and explained the situation and I think he has come up with a winning solution to this perplexing connundrum... god bless that man.

Sherlocks' solution-> "use the arm7 file from the jap hoshigami rom, my dear watson"

genious, shear genious

Nice little fix, I'll definately use it on SimCity.... But Zelda for me will have to wait for the US version
