DS #4506: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (USA)

[Deleted_171835]

I used Xenophobia's patch and it works on my Acekard 2i. Now to check if the save file stays after rebooting.

Edit: The save file stays. Yay!

Wow talking about Zelda means more than 100 pages nowadays....!!!

Patched version works on Cyclo with Latest BETA until i save the game, when i turn off the console and go back to load it the save is gone.

Okay. To you and TO ALL OTHER CYCLO USERS, to get around this you have to use the Real Time Save function. It's like a save state on an emulator. It requires a few extra MB of space though, but the patched file should clear up some room. When you boot up the game, hold Select and then hit A. Then to Save (and Load) just open the in-game Cyclo menu (ABXYLR) and select Real Time Save/Load. Other than that the game works fine.

Just for reference:

M3Real users RTS/Softreset causes the whitescreen so there is no work around as of yet for it.

It works perfect on my R4DS card with YS Menu on

I remember back in the day when the M3DS Real was the shit. Now it's usually the cart that has the most problems (along with the R4 it seems). I don't think it's that it's obsolete, I think that, because it's the most popular, companies like Nintendo model their AP protection to be most effective on the M3DS (so we all get hit the hardest).

I've tried almost every version of flashware for the M3DS, including Sakura and everything else with no results. The game runs fine but you simply cannot save- which is kind of a huge deal. I'm sure eventually the people at M3 will come out with an update so I'll just have to wait and play Might and Magic until that day comes.

see i've yet to get the game to actually load.
I get to the nintendo screen and then poof it freezes.
and i've tried the newest sakura firmware, the one before it, and then 1.42x and i've tried to load it via sakura AND the touchpod firmware thats in it. and yeah.. it does the same thing in ALL of them.

you'll need to delete everything except the actual ROM everytime you change firmware. Some of the save files Zelda makes, and the config file in the NDS folder, can cause the initial crash.

EDGE released OS 1.6 and atm i'm playing zelda (untouched) on it without a problem

EDIT
Nevermind, it doesn't keep the save :/

 

[albel005]

Really cause im useing the newest sakura firmware and the crack and i get past the nintendo screen and can play the game but once i save and turn off the game then turn it back on the save is gone

 

[Tophalion]

I guess we have to wait till M3 releases something?

and yes... really, why would i lie about it not working =/ that would just be retarded.

To ALL M3 and M3i0 users - I think I cracked it (well partially anyway) !!! but I need comfirmation

This may sound silly but using 'jdx7777' SYSTEM files(See post 1523)
which contains Sakura 1.44 and 4.6X - I've actually got the unpatched Zelda Spirit Tracks working on a DSi with 1.4E + M3i0
(& the trains controls DO appear so no patching required)

The bad news - Saves STILL don't work & it still locks up if you try to use RTS

The solution !! - Silly as it might seem, but DON'T USE SDHC cards !!!!! - Try using a standard MicroSD card (2Gb or less) seems to work

I've tried it on an 8gb SDHC & it wouldn't go pass the nintendo screen (unpatched AND patched version) so I tried the files on a standard 2Gb MicroSD & both versions (unpatched and patched) went pass the Nintendo screen.

I played up to arriving @ the castle & Saved the game, switched off but switching on & it starts from the very beginning again, Still at least we know it CAN work on an M3i0 without patching - just a shame about the saving

I had that problem at first, but it turned out the ROM was just bad. I had downloaded it prepatched expecting it to work and I got the lock up at the Nintendo screen. I downloaded the non-patched ROM and patched it myself with Xenophobia's patch and that's when I was able to get it to work fine, just without the save. Try doing that if you haven't already, but it's not like it matters... I'm not going to play it if I can't save it.

no the rom is fine. i've downloaded two differnet ones. a unpatched and then a prepatched. the prepatched works for alot of ppl. i mean he got over like 1200 downloads in an hour and something. so thats not my problem.

 

[Elfeckin]

good to see that it can work unpatched on the M3 real =^)...just waiting for save support...keep up the good work guys and maybe girls? ha you never know who's behind the cracking =^D

 

[linkkie3]

For the Supercard sd, it ain't working you get an crazy (unnormal) group logo thingie and then it gives me 2 white screens, I would like to know if I'm doing something wrong and/or what I can do about it.

Nothing for now.

 

[cman1783]

I just had a chance to test the patch on my YSMenu'ed M3 simply and it works perfectly. I made it to the Spirit Temple.

The "crazy group logo thingie" is Xenophobia's. Shouldn't bother you that much considering you get the game for free. It should work with the SuperCard DSOne. What firmware are you running?

Edit: Never mind. You're using the SuperCard SD.

 

[vengfulr3ap3r]

Alrighty, sooo it DID WORK on my 2gb card, but wouldnt work on a sdhc card. idk about the controlls or anything else yet ill edit when i do.

controls work, no saving thou. props to the person above who told me about the whole 2gb thing
