hello, does anyone have a solution to a problem i'm having with picocross 2 on the GB? I have now reached level 7 and from here on the game no longer recognizes that i have solved the stage. even if i get a hint from the game, it only shows me fields that i have already solved. it's very frustrating. @Jayro maybe? :)
my hw is gbp with ez jr. fw5/k5

So I've figured out it's the bottom option from the main menu you're playing, looks like I have to churn through quite a few puzzles to get to level 7, but I'll get back to you soon about whether it does the same for me.

We've been messaging, but for the sake of anyone following along at home, I encountered the same bug when using ciaomao's save, regardless of whether I was using the original unmodified ROM or the English patched one. I'm up to level 4 on my own save, so a little while longer and we'll see if the same happens with that when I reach level 7.

I got to level 7, and.... *drum roll*.... I've got the same problem :cry::angry::hateit:

This is a bummer. I really couldn't find anyone with the same issue on google last time I looked, and people seem to be talking about finishing the game ok, so idk wtf tbh
Post automatically merged:

Wait, I had a breakthrough.... did some more googling, was reading some faqs on gamefaqs... Nothing I saw yet actually mentioned this change specifically, but one of them does say in the controls section that pressing Select lets you switch between the four different panels of the puzzle. So I gave this a go on the first level 7 puzzle, and found that if you complete each panel, switch to the next, and get all four panels correct, it recognises the puzzle as complete. I guess it's meant to be another step up in difficulty, like the tighter time limit from level 4, it just doesn't seem to be explained.

Guess we can continue playing now! Altho I might have to start again from scratch - I'm missing a few of the unlockable 10th puzzles for a few levels, because I didn't know that you're not supposed to quit a puzzle. Meh.

Got to the end, for both Mario and Wario, with the 10th puzzle unlocked in every level.

It's definitely deliberate and not a bug that you have to switch between sections by pressing Select and finish the whole puzzle before it registers, the blurb when you finish the ? before level 7 says something about no celebrating until the entire puzzle is finished.

This was a nice fun Picross game, but I'm missing playing bigger puzzles than 15x15. Hopefully can start on the new Namco Picross for Switch soon and it should have some bigger ones.

    Thanks mate.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    May just order a 5700g for a nas/emulation set up tbh

    @SylverReZ, atleast you were asleep on 4/20

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    LOL

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)
