This thread will be used to collect results on which games the NTR CFW Real-Time Save feature works on or doesn't work on, alongside their region, the type of emunand used, the version of emunand used, and the game's region. The idea is to create a comprehensive list of games so that you can see at a glimpse which games work, along with the caveats or expected behavior. Some games also don't work properly with this feature unless certain conditions are met; this thread aims to document that, as well.

All games will be listed in alphabetical order, and a color will be assigned to each of them, showing their compatibility. Games marked green work without any special actions on the user's part. Games marked orange work, but require special conditions to be met, which will be described in the text following the game's name and region. Games marked red don't work with this feature at all (at least to our knowledge). Additionally, following the description showing the expected behavior of the game once you use the feature, a link to the posts with the information will be shown, along with the tested firmwares, emunand versions and type, and NTR CFW versions.

Want to add a game to the database? Fill out the form below (copy the text in the code box!), and submit it to the thread. If you see the game you want to submit on the list already, submit it anyway! Having more information is helpful, and will tell us more about the game's compatibility. If a game doesn't work with the version of NTR CFW you're using, and it isn't the latest version, try using the latest version instead, and submit that a a different report! As of writing, the current latest version is Shadowtrance's NTR CFW 3.3-3D.

Game Name: The name of the game.
Game Region: The game's region. N/E/J. If you're using a region-free CIA, then just say the region the game was before being patched.
Game Version: If the game has newer versions available for download on the eShop, specify which version you tested this on. Otherwise, you can omit this.
Emunand Type: RxTools, Reinand, etc. Include the exact version you're using!
Firmware Version: The emunand firmware you're on.
NTR CFW Version: The NTR CFW version you're on. Specify cell9's or Shadowtrance's, and the version number (if applicable)
Notable Behavior: Does the function work or not? Be detailed in your description, include things that you noticed that are abnormal, or things that you have to do to get it to work properly. Test more than once!

Use this pastebin to fill out the form. I can't use code tags here to do it since GBATemp's forum software is acting stupid.

You can view the spreadsheet here. Games that you submit results for in this thread will be added to the spreadsheet as soon as possible.

Huh, that's... weird. I'll take note of that, since it might be due to NTR CFW 3.2. Do you think you can get around to trying it with this version and then report back?

Alright so I think its even worse with 3.3 haha
Still no Game Plugin menu, and no commands are working either. Also if you close the game and open another one the 3DS will freeze in the Nintendo 3DS loading screen (didn't happen with 3.2)

Edit: I did replace the ntr.bin too

no Game plugin menu because there is no cheat.plg for this game yet, unless you made one yourself

I find it weird where people get results where it doesn't even bring up the menu. I've never encountered this. I think I'll add a new categorization, Unsure, for results like these. It's not conclusive.

Hah. Regardless, I'll add the categorization, since this is something I should've added anyhow.

Mind stating which version of AuReiNand you're using while you're at it?

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • 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
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
