Gaming List of games that needs the arm7-fix.

[fenthwick]

Two new games to be added to the list:-

DK Jungle Climber (U)
Drawn to Life (U)

Are you sure? I'm playing Drawn to Life wothout any fix.

EDIT: NVM i guess other might need the fix with a different flashcard.

 

[snesmaster40]

Yeah, Drawn to Life does need the fix if you're using an older M3SDS firmware

This was content tough:

Yes, loathsome, I am playing Zelda on DS-X, and it's working 100% after doing this:

1. Load the JPN ROM with DSlazy, and press "unpack" on DS lazy.
// Here the JPN ROM is either 0864 - SimCity or 1103 - Hoshigami.

2. Copy the "arm7.bin" file and paste it i.e. on desktop.

3. Now load the protected (not working) ROM with DSlazy and unpack (same as in Step 1)
// Here the protected ROM is either 1158 - Zelda JPN, 1159 - SimCity EUR, 1170 - SimCity USA or 1181 - Hoshigami USA.

4. Copy the "arm7.bin" you got at Step 1 and paste it into the folder where the unpacked protected ROM is, overwritting the "arm7.bin" there.

5. Now click "REPACK" on DSLAZY.
// It is assumed you didn't close DSlazy after unpacking the protected ROM (Step 3)

6. It will prompt you to rename it.
// A .NDS file named as you choose will be generated. This is the unprotected ROM.

7. Then put the unprotected ROM on your card and try to play normally.

The key word here is 'some' flashcarts. It depends on which one you get, and possibly also their firmware version. I haven't needed to use an arm7 fix to run those games myself.

Just had to use this for the first time on my R4, this was for Worms Open Warfare 2.

Here is my Batch for the arm7 fixer just 2 steps and its done. (This does not keep the original Game ID)


Main Part Of Batch.


Donor Questions.


1. place game in game folder
2. run Arm7 Fixer.exe press y

done.
I made it so that it copies the name of the original .nds file so no need to rename the patched one.

Ok backup added the arm7.bin check and added the extraction of the arm7.bin from a donor NDS.

Nice Work Rocky5 it doesn’t get any easier then this. Now I just have to find an Arm 7 problem game I want to play.

 

[MiLe]

yeah i had to do this for WoW:2 on my M3DSS, i suspect drawn to life also cause it didn't work...

 

[vbsoccerdude94]

Dunno the rom numbers or anything. But Fifa 2007 and My Sims need the patch.

 

[loathsome]

Okay, the list has been updated with three new games, and is now in ascending order. Please post if you find any other games that requires the arm7-fix

- loathsome

 

[snesmaster40]

1417 - MySims (E)
1422 - MySims (U)
1441 - FIFA 08 (E)

Judging from the games listed I'd have to say that all of EA's releases are using the ARM7 with the protection.

 

[loathsome]

Thanks, snesmaster40

ASH Arhaic Seal Heat also needs patch on my G6 DS Real

I've updated the first post quite a bit, including a link to dslazy and a short tutorial on how to crack these roms.

1458 - ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat (J)
hmm ASH works fine on my R4 and M3.

dslazy is kinda old. use the successor dsbuff .

 

[giardia100]

thanks for the post. Zelda PH works perfectly on my g6 lite after using the dslazy utility on rom 1456 (U)IMD. thanks for the tip

 

[suprneb]
