Hacking Phantasy Star Zero wi-fi problems

[dbpomega]

I'm apparently totally unable to see any of my friends online and they aren't able to see me; I've looked around and from what I can tell this isn't supposed to happen on a firmware-updated CycloDS Evolution, which... well, mine is. I've downloaded tons and tons of different dump/patch combinations and nothing seems to work. Free Play does fish me a few players if I wait a while, and that works fine, but none of my friends can detect me online.

What's up with this?

Supposedly the Cyclo can run a non-patched rom and have no wifi problems. Did you turn Battery Saver off?

 

[dbpomega]

Yeah, that's what's been throwing me for a loop. Battery Saver is disabled, yes.

I had this problem as well. I also tried the same patches that you probably tried. Anyways, this game deserves a buy. Just buy it. It's worth it.

dbpomega try making your friends use patched roms.

 

[dbpomega]

They all have the legit copy. D:

 

[Gariscus]

Well then, they shouldn't have any trouble finding you on WiFi... Did you and your friends add each others friend codes?

 

[dbpomega]

Yes, and double/triple/quadruple checked them on both sides to make sure they were entered in correct.

Freezes when trying to connect to wifi or local.

Freezes only ever occurred for me when I used patched roms. Clean roms however had no problems(except perhaps that enhanced menu bug).

But the question still remains as to whether or not the drop rate is affected, because that seems to be their trump card of anti-piracy measures in this game.

Edit: And I just found out that there are two dumps of the game: Xenophobia and Bahamut. I don't know any differences between the two but this just complicates issues further.

 

[Gariscus]

The Xenophobia dump is incomplete(but playable), Xenophobia then released a patch that made the rom complete and fixed the anti piracy measures.
The Bahamut dump is complete, they modified Xenophobia's patch so it only fixed the anti piracy and released it with their rom.

So there is no real difference between the dumps once they are patched.

i tried it with my sister it works

 

[gener21839]

Yeah. This game (patched) freezes on the cyclo when wifi becomes involved for me too.

 

[Wolvenreign]

You should already know this, but make sure that the rom isn't trimmed, as that supposedly causes WiFi issues.

just hypothesis;
Are you using a european version dump? That does not work online. US XENOPHOBIA does work I am not sure since the bahamut just padded the extra bytes (that was just the ROM "fat" data with no use) and released theirs as that.

The xenophobia has worked online in one instance for me, and there was three people. I did not get were they using original carts or what - Got that one was using a real cart it seemed...

Cannot say much, the US xenophobia dump is hard to find since it was nuked but...
