This is a project that took a lot of learning for me and that I started trying to finish years ago and just kind of gave up because for whatever reason GBA hacking i cannot wrap my brain around. Joining in now for the first time the game was already pretty well 95% complete by a few others and dropped years ago. The story mode was playable from start to finish but not 100%. I took it upon myself to fix the few issues that were in the game in the started fan translation and finish the rest of the scripts and modes and Graphics that needed to be done that the players would come across. I would have had this done a couple years ago had I not lost time to focus on more Nintendo switch stuff but it is finally done here is the complete english translation patches for Bomberman Jetters for GBA :) https://github.com/Arch9SK7/Jetters-Eng Jetters-Eng Bomberman Jetters v1.0 ---------------------------------- Notes ------ trigger debug menu by setting 0300492c to 0x5A on boot or modify opcode at 08000392 to mov r0, 0x5A CONTROL_CODE_E003 is some sort of set event flag command jetters Bomberman Jetters Translation Project What is different from the previous project? • Well for starters, i fixed a few script errors with lines running over one another in a few locations in the game or minor translation errors (I went and 100% the game to find them all). • I translated the rest of the graphic screens i can find that players will run into. ex. Title screen, the entire multiplayer mode and even the debug menu. • This was a very big learning experience for me from the nintendo switch hacking i do so i needed to learn lots and even make tools that may or may not be necessary due to my own ignorance but helped me get this job done. • There are some graphic issues with disabled tile spots in multiplayer/minigame graphics so theres holes in my graphics but they work to convey what is needed. • I cannot for the life of me get any debugger to work for gba so i cant fix these inactive tiles. (Offer help if you want/can) • Tested on Nintendo Switch NSO custom injection, MGBA/Bizhawk, Official hardware. Start Here To do anything, first place a copy of Bomberman Jetters as jetters.gba in the root. Build Run build.bat and jetters_eng.gba will be produced. I will include all the patches producted you will need if you do not wish to build with the script into the releases. You might need to install VC++ 10.0 to run Atlas: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999 Extract Run extract.bat and extracted files will appear in the extract folder. Dump Script Run dump_script\dump_script.bat.

I have an M3DS Real, and a DS Lite. It was working fine, I upgraded to the latest firmware, Sakura 1.47 or something, and I can navigate and start new games, but if I have an existing save for a game the game refuses to load, the bottom screen says "Data format error." Any ideas?

(I have my saves backed up from before upgrading, so I didn't lose everything)
