Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars working patch
Works on the majority of flash kits

A workaround has been found by an unknown author that allows Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to work on the majority of flash kits. The workaround involves patching the ARM9 file with a modified version via DSLazy.

To apply the fix, once you have acquired the patch, download DSLazy via the link below and follow the instructions.

Download DSLazy (official site)

- Open the DSLazy application
- Select your backup ROM of GTA:CW
- Click 'NDS Unpack'
- Open the unpacked files and replace the ARM9.bin file with the one from the patch (it's not necessary to replace the ARM7.bin file)
- Click 'NDS Packer'
- Create your new modified and fixed backup[/b]

[EDIT]

Here's an xdelta patch that should work on all cards:

Patchy~
Alternatively, if that one does work try this one (Won't work on Cyclo):

Patchy2~

How to ARM9 patching so it works on EDGE/CycloDS Evolution (and some other)

- Patch rom with Grand_Theft_Auto_Chinatown_Wars_USA_SAVEFIX_V2_NDS-iND.zip (Sendspace link)
- Start DSLazy (Download here)
- load your patched rom (xpa-gtac-patched.nds)
- Unpack
- copy the ARM9.bin file from the NDS_UNPACK directory to a seperate directory (lets call it c:\arm9_backup)
- Delete your NDS_UNPACK directory and current.nds
- Load original non patched GTA rom
- unpack
- replace your ARM9.bin from the NDS_UNPACK directory with the ARM9 from c:\arm9_backup (Overwrite original arm9.bin)
- Click on the NDS Packer icon in DSLazy
- Give a good name to it
- Copy this patched rom to your EDGE / CycloDs Evolution R6 Xtreme, or any other card not working with Grand_Theft_Auto_Chinatown_Wars_USA_SAVEFIX_V2_NDS-iND.zip
- Done
