ROM Hack Phantasy Star Zero Freezing Problem

[Aikia]

EDIT: (I'm slapping this up here so people don't waste time going through this topic)
Narin's cheat update includes a fix for this. We love you Narin XD (no homo)



Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on R4 1.18 btw.

I expect to get chewed out for making a topic right away but there's no rush for an answer, I got Gundam Musou 2 to keep me busy for a bit

Yeah.. this game have the same problem as Chrono Trigger has.

Hope a AR code fix, a ARM7 fix or other hack fix.

 

[BassHubStyle]

Thats a known problem already,guess nobody can play it atm :/ Hope there's a patch soon

Someone in the game's release thread said that you could use an arm7 patch to make it work on R4. Unfortunately, I don't think they said which patch to use.

Someone else said they managed to get it working ingame in no$gba if they disable saves. So that might mean the piracy protection is related to the saves.

Calling dibs on the fact it might use a bigger save than 512Kbyte.

 

[megawalk]

hmm interesting
i don't wanna moan at Narin but a cheat could be useful hehe
but first things first the problem has to be solved
else it would end like daigasso dx and i don't like that idea

Someone make an empty 1024Kbyte .sav file and try with that

I tried with a R4 (with a patch for can use bigger saves), and don't work too, it's freezes in the same part.

hmm... I've only done the arm7 replacement once for Bleach DS...I'm not experienced enough to quickly do it again without a tutorial. Anyone tried, or care to try, doing it?

Yeah I tried 1024 and 2048 and none works. Might use some special save format ( as in, the starting ".sav" on the original cartridge is not completely empty like the ones created by flashcards ) to thwart cheating/hacking of characters

ARM7 - Fail.

 

[Aikia]

"ARM7 - Fail."

Oh well, thanks for trying

Oh well, thanks for trying

Narin already released a cheat hack to fix it.

 

[Kerian]

Umm I don't think so. He only posted a Code for Chrono Trigger not PSZ.

EDIT: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=123...t&p=1645656 You were right XD

 

[xshinox]

i guess no true arm7 patch for this game huh? i guess we have to use the cheat code by narin

 

[dgwillia]

Anyway someone can make a patch of the cheat?

 

[skroooagh]

I've never used cheats on my R4 before, what do I do???? I have to use DSATM to patch the ROM???? like manually paste in the code or something???? i know its easy but could some one please give me a quick rundown???? all these years and im still a n00b...........

EDIT: worked it out, dont worry

after playing for 90 minutes i accidentally deleted my character LOL, PWNED BY JAPAN

I tried that and got the same thing... I just used the CHEAT.DAT thing that goes in the _SYSTEM_ folder and it worked fine.... no patching necessary
