Hey guys! I'm an owner of a Itouch2 flashcart and I can't get this game working.

I've tried rom after rom and nothing is working.
I heard that people usually get stuck at the boat, but NOTHING about the intro screen.

What happens is that it loads, SE logo comes up and the credits appear.
I see a VERY BRIEF image of a castle and starlight, then it resets all the way back
to the logo and credits.

PLEASE. I am a huge fan of DQ. I want to play this game. Can you help me?
Am I doing something wrong?

I recently had the issue of not being able to get off the boat. I have a M3 DS Simply. I did use the cheat.dat to help me with that. Sorry, that is probably no help.

Try a newer firmware? If you're on the latest, try an older firmware. Or re-install your current firmware.

Only suggesting this since you say you tried different copies of the game. So that isnt the problem.

I'll give it a shot but I fear there is something else going on.
I plan to keep this open for anyone who has encountered this problem.
Sad too, I really REALLY love dragon quest.

I wanna play it. D:

I'm fairly sure there's a translation for the PS2 version now if you aren't able to find a workaround (just thought I'd mention it) you'd be able to find the patch / romhacking.net

Nuuuuuu~

It's not working. It just shows the castle and then fades to black.
Back to the SquareEnix logo.

It is the Anti-Piracy code that does, and if the get off the boat thing was not enough, now it resets to the logo, known as a level 2 anti-piracy block, and if you modified the files on it, most likely it would do this, best bet is to go to Dragons Den and contact a menber named DQ5r, he has info of fully disabling the Anti-Piracy code, and that is all I am telling you guys about so I do not get busted for this.

You know its weird cuz I have an iTouch2 DS and it plays the game just fine, I plugged it in and blam, nothing had to be done. You need to check the ROM is from a reliable site and also that you have the correct firmware. I was using the latest firmware about 5 months ago and it worked then, so idk. I sense the problem lies with the firmware you are using. BTW i didnt' patch and i didnt' do anything to it just plug and play and it worked with no hitch or hiccup.

wow really!? I've tried at least 10 different versions of the rom I can manage. I've pretty much exhausted the
database for it that's even the slightest searchable.

US, Japanese, English, Multi, anything and everything.

I'm using the latest firmware as well..-sighs- straight taken from the Itouch2 site.
If only there was a way I could know WHERE to find the blasted rom. Sometimes forum rules kill me.
I'll give that one site a shot - see if I can't get it to work...
This is the only reason I even got the Itouch2... Really.

Can't even play my favorite game. What a bummer....

Hope you are already enjoying your game

. BTW we figured out what was wrong with the card, which really wasn't the card but the MicroSD card. Might want to close this thread since it has already been solved.
