darn. m3 is getting a bit lazy with their updates imo lately, some games still don't work that I play. hopefully the save issue will be fixed soon for m3 and the game will work aswell.

ps. that amiga crack intro is realy nice, pure quality. they put alot of work in it XD

edit. are more of you having problems with youtube crashing?

A rom with an intro has the same value to a collection as a game sold at GameStop with a price sticker directly on the case, IMO.

Actually, if the intro is responsible for the saving issues people are having as I suspect, it's akin to putting a price sticker on the inside of a comic book, covering up a speech bubble.

edit: People are saying it's a new save type. I'd still rather place the blame on VENOM, though.

I remember ...back in oldschool scene days c64, amiga , etc etc... (yea i'm old) a release wasn't a release unless it had an intro. It definatley gave a certain flavor to the scene. I will agree though that a intro should never break a release.

Not "working" on EDGE latest firmware v1.10.

You can load up the game fine, get to the main menu, select new game, and you can play with no problems at all. But when you save the game at any point in the game, turn the DS off, and load up the game again, and select continue, it says "The Save Data cannot be accessed, turn off your DS and try again".

Seems like a very easy issue to fix since it doesn't have any problems booting up/playing. Won't take long for either an AR code fix, or a patch.

this game reminds me of the time i played football, and then my friend fell over and hurt his leg, we went to the hospital and there was this man in a doctors coat with a funny eye! lololol! and then everything was ok-he had a demented eye!!

i thought that the only difference between sakura and touchpod was the user interface.

i tried it on the quad boot thingy. on akura and the new sakura, i guess i could try it on the r4i and old sakura.

I'm using an R4i. It works fine until you try and shut it off and load up the game.

I wasn't to worried because I bought this day one, I'm a big supporter of Renegade and their small development team bringing me some FPS goodness on DS. I didn't play but maybe and hour of it because I'm lazy and prefer to have all my games on one card without switching. Hehe, but yeah I'm sure someone else mentioned this, but instead of normal saves at the mirrors in game that cause the error, I use the Supercard w/ EOS' built in save system (press all the buttons simultaneously to bring up on board menu). That way, I turn it off and can play later by just starting up the rom, bringing up the Supercard menu and load up my save, by passing the necessity to save in game.

Didn't really like the first one because it was a little too linear (IIRC) and it got boring after a while. Also, I'm not that big of a fan of FPS games on DS. But, if it's true that they ironed out some of the issues with the first game, I'll give this one a try.

I really liked the intros on my C64 games when I was a kid! As long as you can skip them with the press of a button (unlike some of the Mode7 GBA intros) and they don't break the game, I'm totally fine with them. I'm not fine with a price sticker directly on the case of a game though.

So what to we need to do to rip that useless intro out of the rom? Maybe if it's not attempting to patch that intro screen first, then the game might work ok since it would load the actual game and not a pointless intro screen first.

I might go buy the game just to get a proper rip of the ROM. I remember some other game ran fine with a clean rom, but didn't want to work in a CycloDS at all when it contained a scene intro screen. That is why I mentioned this. Besides, they didn't "crack" anything, they just stuck an intro on it that may do more to prevent the game from running correctly on flashcarts than anything else. I could be totally wrong about that, but why even waste our time with these intro screens when they didn't actually crack anything? It's just another useless screen of crap in our face that we have to wait for before we get into the game.

I looked at the rom in DSlazy and it wasn't obvious to me what files needed to be deleted to remove that intro screen. Once the intro screen is gone, then we'll know for sure whether the game truly needs a fix or not.

 

[Brian117]

Could that stupid intro have anything to do with the issues of saving? Could it maybe be taking up an extra amount of file space, which could cause it not to be saved correctly because it's too large?

lol, it took me a while to get it but nice joke mate

 

[citron2k1]

I couldn't get it to work with wood R4. I the the cracktro screen and then all white. :/

 

[Toa_235]

it works on R4i.cn clone ... i can play and save using the real time save but when i restart the DSi and reload it works well but gets bugged when i go through doors ... shit

Great looking adult game reminescent of Manhunt II and Silent Hill but control scheme sucks. Drop that *!*!& stylus and use Ctrl-Pad and X-Y-A-B keys for moving about (and X key for picking stuff up when close).
Think I'll replay MH II Uncensored on PSP for the umpteenth time ;P

 

[Master Mo]

The game looks great and it seems they`ve overall managed to get rid of the few issues of the first one!

Otherwise the controls and the overall feel of the game is perfect and hopefully Team Cyclo will have a fix soon.
