Try with my EDGE tutorial, may be works because cheat database is same

 

Put in same place with xpa-ml3.bat, xdelta.exe, xpa-ml3.crack

 

i am using no$gba 2.6a plus the no$zoomer addon. i tried playing this game and the FPS after the main menu are pretty low, is there a way to increase it?

 

Here you go

 

Getting really frustrated with my inability to figure this out...

A bunch of people have posted now about getting this to work on edge v1.5, which I have.

It involves using action replay codes, but I can't figure out how to make them work.

All the tutorials I've read simply state that you drag and drop cheat.dat to the root of your memory card. Well, that doesn't work for me. Then I read somewhere that the name of the folder the cheat.dat was in mattered. So I created a _system_ folder and dragged the cheat.dat into that. Still nothing. So far, all the tutorials have been pretty vague as to what to actually need to "do".

Any help would be appreciated, its probably something very simple that I'm just overlooking.

 

Fevered-Dreams,

Take a look through the Edge user manual:
http://www.edge-ds.cn/downloads/edge-manual-1.0-ENG.pdf

You have to enable cheats in the system menu first, then you will be prompted when you start the game.

 

With cheat.dat in its own folder or on the root, and cheat enabled in the main menu setting on my card it still doesn't prompt me for any game I try to load. Unfortunately, that was one of the first things I thought of.

Does the way I have the files setup in my card matter? Also, exactly what files do I need to have on the card. Just the .dat file or do I need the contents of r4cce.086 somewhere in there too?

 

According to the help file on cheats.gbatemp.net
Put the EDGEcheats.dat into the Edge Folder.

 

Incidentally, I went to edge's download page and it has a link for r4cce that is compatible with edge. However, the link leads to a 'file not found' page. If anyone has an alternate link to this that might work, unless its the same one I downloaded here.

aww, jeez. I new it would be something simple. Let me try that.

 

You can download R4CCE here:
http://home.usay.jp/pc/soft_en.html

Or you can follow the link in the Edge portion of the tutorial on the first post

 

Man, I am slow sometimes.

Thats what you get for day drinking, though, I suppose.

Works just fine now, thanks for the help.

 

So if we have a R4 we will have to wait for a fix to come out?

 

Yes, currently there is no proven method of playing this game on the R4. Waiting is all you can do. Short of buying the game, (or a new flashcard).

 

I have the acekard 2, not 2i, and it doesn't work. but what do i do with the ak2 loader and replace in aio folder? I'm also using a ds phat if it makes any difference.

 

I too have an acekard too and use moonshell and _ak2 folder??. I don't want my other games to become unplayable, but Mario works fine until I save. I've tried a couple of different ways and it freezes up. When I go back into the game, it shows the saved file, but freezes if I try to load. Please detail what I need to do. Thank you

 

Just testing out that SuperCard DS-One fix now to see if it helps me with my saving issue I've got currently with the other fix I was using. Problem was I'd play, it would save, and I could re-load fine. But all of the sudden after a day or so I'd go to re-load it and my save file will have reverted back to a much earlier point in the game, despite having loaded from a later point earlier on.

Will update you all on whether this still happens or not.

 

i feel really stupid but i have an ezflash v plus card and i was wondering how to get the game to work, i get to the choose a save mile and it doesnt do any thing. it plays music ???. I didnt see one of the patches that fit my chip so any help would be wonderful!!! sorry if this has already been asked.

 

It's been posted (or similar) countless times. Basically if you do not see a fix for your card yet, sit tight and wait until one is released. At the moment that is all you can do. The error you're facing is the first piracy check out of about 30 something that the game has, so you're not the first and certainly not the last who will face it. Just sit tight mate.

 

Am using R4i (for Nintendo DSi)... I'm dying to play this game (Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story USA).. I guess we all R4 users have to be patient and wait for some kind soul who have the technical knowledge in patching the said game and come up with a cracked version of this game.. In view of this, I'm appealing to whoever can patch this game in R4 to upload the rom with the note that it's a patch R4 version in the rom section of Romulation so we can distinguish it immediately... My gratitude for whoever can come up with it... Thanks a lot in advance! ;D
