Take a flasher and some repro cartridge and Flash it yourself.
Then you have your own card


@Sterophonick
And thanx for the help.
Now I have mother 1 in German and mother 2 in english in the Rom and flashed on my cartridge.

Looking forward to this!
I have never played Mother 2, but I'll wait until the translation is done to play it on my GBA.
Not to disparage the fine work of the hackers/translators, but you know you can play Earthbound *right now* on a SNES emulator (or a mini SNES-classic if you want to keep things legit), right? (And until someone fixes the music in the GBA version, I would say it is likely to be a superior experience.)

I would like to play it on a real GBA like I played Mother 3, even if it is not the best option.

Excuse me if this has been asked already, but is the Mother 2 side translation using the Earthbound script, or does it incorporate some edits from Clyde's translation notes like MaternalBound does? What about sprites that were changed in Earthbound?

It's using the EarthBound script.
As for the sprites, we are adding those as well.

Just wondering if there is a way to apply the translation patch to the Mother1+2 ROM without having to download the Earthbound SNES ROM. $400 for an Earthbound SNES cart to rip a backup is a bit much for me.

Well, how else do you think you're supposed to apply the patch? I'm sure no one particularly cares if you download the ROM from the Internet. (Did you get your Mother 1+2 ROM by dumping it from the original cartridge?)

If you really want to, you can probably rip it from the Wii U Virtual Console release, or possibly from a SNES mini.

Also, I don't know why you bumped a six-month-old thread to ask that.

Does anyone else have issues loading Mother 1? When I select it in the menu, the screen glitches and it's unable to load. Mother 2 works fine.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?

    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
