Hacking FF XII: Revenant Wings problems

[elliot]

Hi there, so i was playing and enjoying it till i encountered some problems later in the game.

First problem after chapter 6 or so i can't select the fire monsters tab anymore or i'll freeze the game, not a big problem can still continue playing so didnt pay much attention to it.

Second problem is chapter 8-2 one of the mainstory stages get a blackscreen freeze immediatly after i press begin..
so mine question is anyone have the same problem? or know a solution to it? i tried to use different versions of r4 1.11 and 1.12 still not working.

any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Have you tried a different rom dump? I haven't heard of anyone having a problem like that before.

Are you using any cheats? Somtimes they can affect games in that way.

 

[elliot]

Not using any cheats at all, by different romdump you mean another ff12 release then the one i'm using? not sure if i can post it here but i'm using the USA espalnds version.

try the Micronauts release i used that and played the entire game with no problems at all

 

[elliot]

i'll try the micronauts version, praying the save files will work..

 

[adyum]

There should be no reason the save file wouldn't work.

 

[elliot]

It works! both problems gone, many thanks

bugger, I'm getting black screens after the 'load complete' message when continuing.. I'm only near the start of the game but I am using the micronauts version.

What version Firmware are you using to play?

1.12

but the Micro sd appears to be an 'EagleTec' as oppossed to a sandisk or kingston as see mentioned often.

Shouldn't be the problem, but try using 1.11

Just so you guys know I saw lag when trying to play using a downloaded version of FF12 during the CG videos. It skipped pretty badly when compared to an original cart (which I own). Then again this is on a 2GB sandisk microsd card but the same one plays Castlevania: POR without any lag. The release in question is the micronauts one.

EDIT: I have my own dump which I have yet to test. My dump is validated per a CRC check on advanscene.com.

Ive played the game all the way through the 10th Chapter, and have had no slowdown whatsoever during the cutscenes. The only slowdown I notice is during battles, when there is a lot of espers on the field. I am using 1.12

 

[shinji257]

Are you using a 1GB or a 2GB microSD card? Please note that I specified a 2GB card. The 1GB cards tend to be faster and the 2GB cards are known to create some lag in some games. It was just that I had gotten one that worked well for Castlevania POR that I thought it was fast enough then I hit this game and apparently it still doesn't work as fast as my older 1GB card.

I should of added that the only real CG scene I have actually seen so far is the intro video (the one at the title) which doesn't even really count. That one skips pretty bad. I'm only 18% of the way through so I didn't know if there was any more yet. The cut scenes where the characters are talking and stuff isn't what I was referring to.

EDIT: Err.. There are a few short ones at the begging of the game. The first one skips a bit on the online release but does not on my own dump. Weird.

Same flashcart, Same microSD card, Same game, Same region, Different dumper.
