Hacking Problem with Kira Kira Pop Princess

[SpaceJump]

When the game tries to create a save file at the beginning, it stays there forever. Firmware is 1.3 final.

Is this game known to not work on CycloDS?

Hrmm. I haven't updated to 1.3 yet, but it saves fine on 1.22, for what that's worth.

Could someone else try it on 1.3 final with no current save?

Tried it on 1.3 final and got the same results as you. Game hung up on the "formatting save data" message right at the beginning.

I was going to try to get past that point on the R4 and use the save file on the Cyclo to see if that worked, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I'll post back if that works.

[Edit] Hey, whadda ya know. It hangs on the R4 too. (FW 1.15) I'll try some other R4 firmwares.
[Edit2] Looks like it was fixed in R4 FW 1.16

I transferred the R4 1.16 save to CycloDS Evo 1.3, and the save file got me past the screen where it was hanging. If you download the save file and put it on the CycloDS, you should be fine, but I'm not going to continue testing the game for more save issues.

PS. I'm also not going to report this to Team Cyclops. Someone else can do that.

@SpaceJump, I hope this gets you laid by some chick that was dying to play this game. Otherwise I want 30 minutes of my life back.
