New Release: 1267 - Sword Of Mana (U)

[Gaisuto]

My friend has been waiting for this, he will be happy n_n

 

[Ace Gunman]

Im saving on the PC and it doesnt seem to work.....maybe I just have to change the save type or something.

 

[Gaisuto]

Save States for Emulator Users, SOL I guess for Flash Cart users...

 

[OldKupo]

No, i saved my game. It worked. On my flash cart. And i reseted, and it was there.

 

[CapnJimby]

*drools* I didn't expect this, I've been waiting for this. I agree with Ace Gunman, I really hope they remake Seiken Densetsu 3 for the GBA as well.

Holy Twisted Metal Arthur!

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!

 

[OldKupo]

[OldKupo]

Harvest moon is out! Its on my pre site!!!!!!!!

EDIT: I guess while i was playing Sword of Mana it came out, as it was posted on the front page half an hour ago.

 

[Ace Gunman]

anyone know why Sword of Mana wont save for me? @.@

I'm sure it will happen as FFTA:

In a few days will be released a savefix patch and EVERYBODY will forget about the savebug... Then the EURO MULTIx version will be released, and NOBODY will even care to make a fix, and we, international players, will be lacking of a way to play it in our cards and in our languages, untill 2 months later, a group of german or french programmers decide to do something-like-a-patch, tired of getting no help from any of the scene.


Why you try not to be so &%$#@ and help us and release a save-fix patch for the EURO version, when it's out?

 

[OldKupo]

Because you are not using a Xtreme card. The extreme card saves fine.

Because english is a universal langugage. Learn it or die. Anyway, Try using the english save fix. If that doesn't work tell me and i'll make a euro save fix in a day or 2.

I'm back althought I haven't advanced very far in the game (as usual, I always bid my time and train myself first before proceeding further). The story have definitly become much better than the old GB version. The gameplay is quite simple to follow too so far.

As for the saving problem, for those who use the VBA, switch the save type to Flash 64K, it worked for me.

 

[Ace Gunman]

64K! aha! that was the problem, thanks

EDIT: nevermind that didnt work, I jsut keep getting a message in the game that says "Unable to Save Data"

That's true... and I don't know the really statistics, but european videogames market is huge, and I think it's even bigger than the american one (all the euro countries together). The problem is the diversity of languages.

I do know english, I speak it fluidly and have a more or less good gramatic and orthography, but everybody likes to play a game in its own language (almost all vidgames here in Spain are translated, either dubbed or sub-titled, and the ones not, are low selling). There are many people whom does not knows english, and for they play a game like that, is the same as if you try to play a game in japanese or chinese.

I even think american game developers does not care about many of million of spanish-speaking americans, and many of them are not fluid in english at all.

There's a modest and growing up GBA community of spanish-speaking people on the Internet, and we have news, reviews, PD ROMS, and even forums about games and scene related issues (flash linkers, ROMs, patches, etc). Take a look at http://www.gbplanet.net (just coincidence, the name is in english

) Or go and take a look at the forums at http://www.dmg-01.net/foros/ It's completly in spanish...

Going back to topic, thanks for your help, and I hope more scene programmers like you would care about us, international players. Also I hope you help us to release a patch for other games, such Harvest Moon and so.

America is not the only country where people buys and play video games... and english is not the only language in the world...

Are you sure? Did you made sure to switch the save type before starting the game? If so, it should have worked. The game save normally after I setted it to Automatic -> Flash 64K.

 

[Ace Gunman]

yep thats what mines set to, hmmmmm maybe im not supposed to save at the first save point? or somthing?

 

[gmore]

errrrrr question, i can't level up anyone know the reason, i have like killed about 30 monsters now, and the bar just stays there and i c the level up sign but that is about it.....

edit- ok i got it fixed don't worry about it

 

[X-Gamer]

errrrrr question, i can't level up anyone know the reason, i have like killed about 30 monsters now, and the bar just stays there and i c the level up sign but that is about it.....

Just press the Start button and you'll see a new option called "level up", select that to see the various ranks where your stats will be affected depending of which rank you choose for your level up such as Warrior, Sage and Thief. Choose one of the rank and the appropriate stats will increase, completing the level up.

[Ace Gunman]
