That link was to R4 firmware actually, nothing to do with the game. My bad for posting the link though, sorry about that.

Just saying, R4 1.25 running on M3 DS Real seems to run perfectly, using the SweetNDS ROM.
Wasn't looking for any credit, just posting more info =)

You still need retro's patch so your pokemon can gain EXP. Otherwise the game only kinda works.

Yeah, basically that. However, mine does seem to have XP gain. I've only played the first 2 battles, as I said I'm in college now, but it got the XP and levelled up just fine. Does it not restrict EXP gain instantly, just a few levels on?

Oh wait, just remembered, I did apply a patch earlier this morning in the hope it would fix the freezing, before I tried the new firmware. That was probably it.

Is anyone else playing this on a SC DSTWO?

I'm asking since I am and have been playing it for a few hours but I had it freeze up the last time I played.

Just want to know if this happens to other users using the DSTWO or if it was just a random freeze on my part.

Ah, yeah it's the same firmware, different site.
If you applied the patch earlier than that's what fixed your game

So at least I found someone who confirmed that for me so I can add it to my firmware.
Thanks for unknowingly helping me

Glad it could help =D I think I may actually replace the firmware fulltime if I can change the skin for Wood, it's a bitch to see on the old dark DS. It goes through menus much faster though.

Now to wait for Okamiden!

This may sound stupid: but screw it.

When I open the SweetTnDs Rar file I'm met with about 21 seperate RAR files, all seemingly having the same thing inside them, and a .SFV file.

What exactly am I meant to do with these? O.o

I'm trying to patch it, but I have no idea which one to patch.

You have to click one of the parts tahn you see a nds file.
Extract the nds file to a other map and you will have the rom!

You should be able to extract those into one file or just find a different rom from a different site if you are really not sure what to do.

I've had problems with split zip/rar files before, so if it comes up with an error, try extracting from the .rar file. There should only be one, followed by files along the lines of .r01, .r02 etc.

I still don't get the point of RARs within RARs ¬_¬

Yeah, I was being a huge nub, and didn't bother extracting ALL the .rar files, I tried to do them one at a time, so was confused when it asked me for the others. Didn't realise you had to take them ALL out at once, then try to extract it. But I got it now.

However, I'm still having problems. I patched it with both the Open Patch AND Dicastia patch, however when I transfer them over to me AK21 (running 1.8.5a with latest loaders) It just gets stuck on the yellow loading screen. Tried with both Black and White.

Am I the only one getting this problem?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
