Homebrew LoneWolfDS - Caverns of Kalte v1.5 released

[Michoko]

Hi!

Thanks to the feedback from many people after the release of the candidate version of Caverns Of Kalte, I was able to fix some bugs in book 3 and tweak the code so the game works on many linkers now. This is hopefully the final version and is a recommended update!

So here it is, version 1.5 of Caverns of Kalte. Why 1.5 and not 1.0? Because I decided to make a massive release and relaunch the previous titles too, which will then take advantage of the latest improvements (better engine, all the musics from the different books, different preview icons in the linker menu, enhanced compatibilty...). So in order to synchronize all the versions, I used a common release number.

By the way, the Spanish version of Book 1 has also been updated.

You can get all those new files here: http://www.projectaon.org/staff/frederic/index.php

(as always, please don't host the ROM on your site but use the above link instead, as required by the Project Aon licensed! Thanks!)

Also, for those who own a DSTwo, adrian_fahrenheit made cool plugins for the first 3 books. You can get them here:

Please spread the word and have fun!

Happy downloading!

Yay! I've tested them out, they look even more awesome than before!
Thanks a lot on this, and good luck for the next volume =D

This is the first time I've seen this and it's awesome. The interface is simple but pleasing to the eye and I love that atmospheric music. Keep up the good work!

Choose-your-own-adventure books on the DS! Awesome. Thanks for the hard work.


Only thing is, it makes me feel so old now. My 20 years old cousins don't even knwo what those were.

'Caverns of Kalte' tested and working well on an original R4 with Wood R4 v1.09. I haven't decided if I'm going to go back and go through from the beginning or not, so I may update later if the first two are working with this version as well.

Thanks for all the hard work and breathing life into these classics.

Hi,

Ok, it seems that a few nasty bugs were still present in the previous global release of the books, sorry about that!

So now they are hopefully fixed, I'm doing a "hotfix release" which, of course, is a recommended download.

Here's the changelog:

Changelog:
2010/07/05:version 1.51 *hotfix!*
- Fixed a very nasty bug that didn't save some important events in the save file (ouch! Thanks Pozda!)
- Fixed a bug when the Sommerswerd was not equipped as a weapon, but was still giving full CS bonus (thanks Aia!)
- Fixed a bug when the Sommerswerd was not equipped as a weapon, and was not detected as being in the inventory.

The files are always present at the usual address: http://www.projectaon.org/staff/frederic/index.php

Have fun!
Frédéric

Man, I've been looking forward to this ever since I first came upon your website. I've never seen any of the gamebooks, so many thanks to you for pointing me to them. And for your awesome homebrew, of course!

Hey, it works on Acekard2i now!!!

 

[Aaronius]

Does this work on Wood r4?

EDIT: LOL never mind. I didn't see the comment

 

[Hrip]

I'm on AceKard 2i too, but it won't work((
It's just infinite loading...

Somebody help me!!

Test on Original 4.22 and Akaio 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5 - all the same...

Tried it on IEDGE last night, crashed just before the weapon choosing. Will try to manually DLDI patch it tonight.

 

[arogance1]

Crashes on Sakura, not tried with latest release though.
Haven't manually DLDI patched though, since I have no idea how to do it

Well I tried patching it with the CycloDS evo dldi (since edge is basically the same card) and no dice. Blocks just before the equipment select. Looks like those of use with iEdges are out of luck. Will try on my old G6. If it saves my games...

 

[arogance1]

Tried to DLDI patch and the game loads to a white screen, never passes it.

I used the M3 DLDI patch as there isn't a M3 Sakura specific one.

 

[Michoko]

@arogance1
Did you try the latest version (v1.51 ?)

 

[arogance1]

I tried after the 1st post came out, can't remember if it was 1.5 or 1.51.
I'll give it another go tonight

 

[arogance1]

I have tried Book 4 as well.
Doesn't work on Sakura, works on Touchpod

 

[Michoko]

Ok thanks for your feedback arogance1.

Unfortunately, I don't own a Sakura, and since it seems to work on many other linkers, I'm afraid it's specifically related to this model. That will be very difficult for me to find the source of the problem...
There may be some possible alternatives to try though, like launching LoneWolfDS through a third party program like DSOriganize or HBMenu...

 

[arogance1]

With M3 Sakura, you can easily switch to Touchpod.
So, I have now finished the 1st 3 books, onto book 4 now.

Thanks
