Hey, new guy here.
I downloaded Mario & Luigi 3, which didn't work. I am using an AceKard 2i, on my DSim running on that Danny Phantom custom firmware that bypasses the DSi version 1.4.
So when I try to start it, it freezes, just giving me blank white screens, nothing shows up on screen, it just goes to that.
So I tried the Patch that's out there for the game, which failed, when I try to start up the patched ROM it just does the same thing, I am very sure that I did it all correct, it told me that it patched the ROM with no problems after all.
Anyways, is there anything that I might be doing wrong? Any other patches available?

Yeah, I did that.
The only threads I found on the subject were getting the game to work on different flashcarts.
The patch works fine for everybody who uses AceKard 2i by the looks of it, with the exception of me.
So instead of bugging a thread on the topic of getting the game to work on a completely different flashcart, I thought I would make my own thread.

Quick Solution: Go buy the game for 35 USD.

Slow solution: Wait until they patch the damn thing, there's about 30 different piracy checks in the US version.

I did both, asshole, you think I would fucking create an account on here just because I was to god damned lazy to google?
THIS IS A LAST RESORT.
I google and find the same patch everywhere, the same patch THAT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK.
I searched here too. Everybody, as I stated, is discussing patching on DIFFERENT FUCKING FLASH CARTS.
Nobody was having the same problem with the AceKard2i that I was having. So I figured I would make a new thread.
Why don't you try thinking before turning into a douche, you fuck. All I am doing is trying to get an honest, straight up answer.

Then you post it in the other topic. You don't make your own about it. Why the hell do you think there's a topic about Freeze Issues? They're more likely to ignore your post if it's a whole new topic asking about the same damn thing, rather than bumping an existing topic.

I tried that already. And haven't gotten an answer. Y'know why? Because people are discussing patching it on a DIFFERENT FLASH CART.

...And? It's a general help topic. Regardless, just buy the damn game if you're not going to bother waiting for a patch, since the game doesn't work perfectly on ANY Flashcard (it freezes occasionally on every card it works on).

Well since you don't seem to get it - there's a 516 post thread under the release for this game with people asking for the exact same shit you are. If you looked at that You would realize that most people here are sick to fucking death of people asking for a fix for the damn game.

Short answer - there is only one (1) patch right now. If you tried it and it didn't work then join the other hundreds of people and just fucking wait.

That fuckin' works for me, all I was looking for was either how to fix it, or that I'm not the only one with the problem and to just wait.
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure that most instances of googling this game END IN A SPYWARE DEATH! For serious.

There's no patch out yet, it's not that hard to just tell him that. You're making the problem worse by telling him that there are answers without actually telling him the answers. That just causes people to post worthless messages about how stupid they are for asking questions.

So, long story short, there is no R4 patch, there are many anti-piracy methods for the game, likely more than Pokemon. And the pokemon release took up alot of the focus over the weekend. So, give it 3 or 4 days, max, and a patch will be developed. A week and you may even have it completely broken. But until then, play something else.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
