Gaming List of games that needs the arm7-fix.

[tipsy]

SimCity worked on my R4 without the fix.

Could someone like... Teach a noob on how to use this?
And will all games that are coming out in the future going to have this protection?

New games maybe using this in the future, but at the moment it seems to be random.

tipsy: The US version had the arm7 protection, the Japanese one didn't

The way I see it, it's a moot point. My R4 plays them anyway.

 

[Satangel]

Worms Open Warfare 2 needs one too.

 

[loathsome]

Yep, updated.

Is it confirmed that it needs the fix on an R4? It does need one on the DS-X.

 

[ausroller]

Yep, updated.

It is confirmed by myself and multiple people

No words can express my disappointment for finding out that Worms: OW2 won't play on the CycloDS Evo card.

Update: On a lark I figured I'd try to "arm7" fix with my Evolution card, but I can confirm that it's a no-go, as most would perhaps assume. Also, Simple DS Series Vol. 21: The Fuhyou: Bitai de Shutsugeki! Senjou (the new game similar to BiA DS) does not work on the Evo either.

I found an ARM7 FIX file that has a bat file to make life easier for people that want to patch their games with the ARM7 FIX, but are too noobish to do it manually. It requires that you put a working ROM (suggested ROMs to use are in the readme) in one folder (called "doner") and the one that needs fixed in another (called "patient"), double-click the .bat file, follow the instructions and it creates the fixed file as "fixed.nds" which you just rename and start playing.

I confirmed that it works for Worms 2 and Simple DS Series 21 on the R4 using this and the SimCity (J) ROM as the doner.

Here's the credits in the readme:

arm7 injection (M3 patch) - By Bad_Ad84
Original credit to CougRAWR and Go185 from Gbatemp for the method.
Special thanks to Rashef for bringing this to my attention and DarkFader for NDSTool

The file is only 48k zipped

Currently uploading it to the "ROM patchers & header Info" section.

For the time being, you can get it here:
arm7_fix.zip (48k)

What I like about that topic is how the original author discussed how he discovered that arm7 transplant method!

Search for it on GBAtemp. It was the topic about the release of Luminous Arc.

Nintendo up to their old shit again? Actually i though that new Japanese rpg that came out had that problem, because before it booted it had some message that i couldn't read. I reset the system and tried it again, and to my surprise it worked making me think it was something to do with safe mode or the cart not inserted properly.

 

[mahmud]

thanks so much this works great

Those games are fine with the good old workhorse of mine, Supercard CF. But Sim City DS has annoying load times on that family.

Two new games to be added to the list:-

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

 

[Mieki]

Hmm...is there a way to patch games on a mac?

 

[hp sauce]

Not natively to my knowledge at least, I've had to use Windows from within Virtual PC to do it.
