[NDS] Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (U) AP + Compatibility Issues Topic

Disregard. Posted in wrong topic.

 

Well I just figured mine out. It worked for me and I'm running Windows Vista Premium 1.75gb RAM
ati radeon x1600 series. [fucking old i know] but anyway...

go to Config>Emulation Settings... and under the "General" section of the emulation settings there is a box that says Enable advanced bus-level timing.. uncheck or dis select that. It worked for me. The sound is still fucked i'm trying to figure that out. but anyway Good luck. should work for you.

 

No one saw my post apparently.

 

so not sound as though i'm late cause wait o.o i am...darn...but uh is anyone still having issues with this? especially on clones? Maybe I should wait until the game gets a little older so i should download, I'm running akaio 1.8.1 kernel 1.18 r4 ultra I know it's a sucky one and I didn't even know I had that until a couple days ago.

 

Any luck with the R4 Upgrade?

 

Try searching RetroGameFan's Multi Cart Update in the forums. It made it work on my new R4i.

 

guys, is this compatible to No$gba w/ no$zoomer?? this is the only ds i'm using... :-[ i really like golden sun...

 

Hello! Whenever I play Golden Sun Dark Dawn (U) a weird, and annoying noise plays and the game slows a bit! It happens after selecting a file. Is there anything wrong? Here are my specs:

Computer:

Windows Edition: Windows Vista Home Premium

Manufacturer: Hewlett-Pack Company

Model: a6400f

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200 2.20GHz 2.20GHz

Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB

System type: 32-bit Operating System

OS Manufacturer: Microsoft

System Manufacturer: HP-Pavilion

DeSmuME:

DeSmuME 0.9.6 installed on a Win Vista, 32-bit computer.

btw my comps a desktop

 

Did you try with no$gba? i think it's because of the size of the rom, try modifying the speed from no$gba it has this option, as for the annoying sound, it it's not fixed on no$gba just shut it off and (listen to some music )

 

Unless someone made a patch or something for it recently, it isn't. It's sad but no$gba is getting obsolete because the developer stopped updating it a long time ago so it's not optimized to run some newer games. I had to use DeSmuMe to play it, but that program's a resource hog so it only ran at about 75% speed on my (admittedly somewhat obsolete) PC.

 

Is there any emulator that will run these new games perfectly? Which are good picks?

 

No. Every emulator requires some fiddling with to get the games working, and no emulator has every game working 100%.

 

If you have a really powerful PC, try DeSmuMe. I haven't tried any others like iDeaS or NeonDS so I couldn't tell you how good they are. Emulator-zone.com has a list of DS emulators if you want to test them all.

 

the only emulators worth getting are dsmume and no$gba and desmume has the most active team working on it

 

I hope this forum isn't completely dead however I can't seem to load my rom correctly? It starts up, I pick a name and then it goes blank. I might not have been searching hard enough for this problem but I hope someone will try to help me with this. :] Please and thank you.

I hope it isn't too late to say I already did the Anti-Piracy Bypass thing and so far ^^; no luck lol

 

Exactly.

My suggestion, since it should work fine, back up everything on your MicroSD card, and format it with the Panasonic SD Formatting tool. Download fresh firmware files, and place them on the MicroSD card. Then place back on your games, saves, homebrew, etc.

It should solve your problem.

 

Thank you ^^ I shall try this later!

I'm sad to report that this operation was a failure -rolls- v-v it went straight back to just black screening me. :] Thanks for the help though

 

just have akaio on your card. there is already a new version of akaio for r4 ultra. its akaio 1.86a, so download that. and not the original firmware
http://www.r4ultra.com/download/AKAIO%201.8.6a.R4U.rar

on your card's root, you should only have the aio folder, akmenu4.nds and a games floder. inside the games folder go your games and save files.

to play, just start the game normally, dont mess with the ap bypass since it is already always on
