PuzzleManiak 2.0 released!!

Awesome homebrew. I just won at Bridges

 

Excellent. Should be well worth a download.

 

One of the best homebrew just got better. It's better than many commercial games available in the market. If it has sound (not crucial on most puzzle games), it could be easily passed off as a commercial game. 90% of Majesco's games are inferior to this... ;D

 

Indeed

 

So if I have a slot 2 Supercard CF, can I run this game? I'm not sure what DLDI patching is, other than it's association to slot 1 solutions.

 

Thanks for your positive feedbacks.

MartinAustin, you can play it without dldi patching.
It's for slot1 linkers only, I'll precise that in the news, thanks for that.

I'm also using a supercard linker, and so I don't have to dldi patch the puzzlemaniak.sc.nds rom

 

Crashes at the title screen for me. Using an R4 with 1.11 firmware.

It should do dldi automatically. Haven't tried doing it manually.

 

I think it's time I checked this program out. Great work!

 

did you put the nds file at the root of your micro sd card ?
if not, it could the reason of the crash.

try to extract everything at the root of your micro sd card and tell me if it's always crashing or not

 

Thanks very much. That did the trick. I'm yet to play all the games, but I'm really liking what I see. I'm having trouble understanding the rules to Mastermind but Galaxies is brilliant. It's so addictive. I can see myself spending hours playing it.

Thanks a lot!

 

haven't tested it yet, but does it use the latest wifi lib 0.3.3?

 

Some of the help files are mixed up, I think. I can't remember specifics, but I know the rules for minesweeper showed up more than once.

 

Maybe I'm doing something incorrect. I'm using an M3 (Simply) with v1.07 firmware and it's also crashing on the title screen for me. After DLDI patching the .nds file, I've done a few things to see if I could get it to work - extracted to the root, to its own dir, extracted with and without the pzmk folder and readme to the root and to a directory. Also tried without patching, but I wasn't expecting that to work.

It freezes after the title screen loads up and then makes this static sound in my speakers (not continuous). What am I doing wrong?

 

Tenkaichi,

what is sure:

- puzzlemaniak.nds file must be at the root of your card
- pzmk folder must be present, and also at thr root of your card
- if it crashes at the title screen loading, it's because of a dldi patching problem

As I don't have any M3, I can't tell you what to do exactly, but as it's working fine on R4, it should work for you too.

please let me know

 

Like Alx06 said, you need to remove the nds file and pzmk folder out of the PuzzleManiac Folder and put it at the root of the flash card. For example, if your flash card letter was I:\, the file and folder should be located like this;

I:\PuzzleManiak.nds
I:\pzmk\

And yes, the instructions are mixed up. I guess that's why I couldn't understand the rules to Mastermind

 

This homebrew corrupted my G6 Real >_>

 

I would just like to say this gets the most playtime of any game/homebrew on my DS, it's that good.

 

@RIPRAW - Thanks for the dir listing; that's what it looks like as /pzmk/ is located at the root, and so is PuzzleManiak.nds (DLDIed). Maybe it's a bad patch on my part? I'll have to find another thing to work with... but it does patch other things w/o problems. It SHOULD be working fine for me since it works on R4 (and I bet other people have got it working fine no problem ) so maybe my M3dss is just cracked out

Edit:
Video of what I'm getting

 

That's exactly how it crashed when I was having problems with the R4. I don't have it dldi'd since the latest R4 firmware does it automatically. The latest M3 firmware should do the same.
