Pokemon Ranger : Hikari no Kiseki Anti-Piracy

GBATemp's Thread
DS-Scene's Thread

Apparently the latest update to Rudolph's Universal patch is working for other cards.

Kiekoes Pre-Patched ROM

Make sure you have the latest firmware/loaders. If custom firmware/loaders don't work, try the official firmware. I have little confirmation of any of this stuff, besides it working on the AK2i. Sorry. I got most of the info I have now from game comments and forum posts. The game will either freeze in the beginning after the pokemon logo, sometime after you save the girl, OR freeze when Celebi takes you back into the past for the first time. I'm sorry if the AP patch does not work, I can't do anything about it. The working list is what works with a patch or a different firmware.

Getcha firmware here, or here.

Working:

Spoiler

M3/G6 Real/M3i Zero -- READ BELOW
R4DS and their clones Wood R4 v1.09
AceKard 2.1/i AKAIO v1.7 >> X on boot
AceKard RPG AKAIO v1.7 or Wood RPG v1.09
CycloDS vB.3 (Beta GUI)
DSTT/i YSMenu Unofficial 1.17a12 rev07
SuperCard DSONE/SDHC/i EOS SP3 1.0
SuperCard DS TWO EOS 1.02
DeSMuMe v0.9.6

EZ-Flash V Kernel v2.0 RC16
EZ-Flash Vi Kernel v3.0 OB1 & Firmware V101
(Must be on firmware v12 or higher before updating to this)
(EZV/+ users can still use this but may be buggy)

Not Fully Working:

Spoiler

Many R4is
M3DS Simply -- v1.14 (CLEAN - Occasional freeze, patch should work properly)
No$GBA v2.6a -- READ BELOW (Still has issues)

M3/G6 Real, M3i Zero, and iTouch users:

Spoiler

Try the different firmwares:
M3 Real/M3i Zero: Sakura 1.47, Touchpod 4.8b, Kaura 0.9b1
G6 Real: Touchpod 4.8b
iTouch: Firmware v3.8b, M3 Sakura
You can also multiboot firmwares if you have GBA expansion RAM:
New MultiBoot
M3 Real into iTouch DS (no need for RAM)
iSakuREAL (RAM optional)
iSakuRAM

No$GBA FIX:

Spoiler

1) Download No$GBA with No$Zoomer, and firmware.bin.
2) Open NO$GBA.INI and edit where it says:

Code:

Firmware Boot == Manual

to:

Code:

Firmware Boot == firmware.bin

if not already.
4) Open No$Zoomer and change any:

Code:

[INSERTFILEPATHERE]

to the path to the correct file/folder. (eg. C:\No$GBA\plugins, C:\No$GBA\Stylus.cur, C:\No$GBA\usrcheat.dat)
5) Start up NO$Zoomer and check to see if EX 5 is selected. (Options>EXTRA> EX 5)
You can experiment with this to see if this works, try out different combos of EX modes.
6) Run the game with the patch and...

No$GBA Fix continued quoted PERFECTLY by ASuch.

Modified Quote on how to Convert save files from No$GBA to DeSMuMe[quote author=DeSMuMe FAQ wiki]
Convert the save file using http://shunyweb.info/convert.php ; the target format should be "Acekard RPG | EZFlash V | RAW Format [Autodetection] (.sav)" and the source format to No$GBA (.sav)
Load the game. Let it get to the main menu
*Select the correct backup size, as specified by advanscene.com (which is not always right, by the way)
Use File > Import Backup Memory and pick the converted save file
Reset the game[/quote]
*Is not always needed.

Mods are free to edit.

I'm using iTouch 2 with the patched ROM, it freezes after you fall protecting the other guy/girl that appears to assist you.

EDIT: The patch is Rudolph's

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) Anti-Piracy

Not all patches work. Use the latest firmware (3.7f I think) and arm7 patch it.

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) Anti-Piracy

i used the rudolph patch it frozed on after i fall to protect tthe girl ranger my r4 rts is v2.6e right now help

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) Anti-Piracy

I'm using V3.7 G in iTouch 2 and Rudolph's Patch, it happens the same thing: black screen after fall protecting the ranger girl/boy

Can someone give the link for Arm7?

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) Anti-Piracy

Not sure if arm7 works, but updated it.

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) Anti-Piracy

i updated my r4 to v2.6f so im hoping it will work

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) Anti-Piracy

Patching with Arm7, after it's patched I'll edit with the results

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) Anti-Piracy

will arm7 work for my r4rts v2.6f?

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) Anti-Piracy

Arm7 has the same results, Nintendo won this round I guess...

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) Anti-Piracy

I'll try it on my AceKard in about an hour.

You need YSMenu if you have an R4: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=27617.0

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger 3: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) AP

I remebered that M3 Simply could load HG/SS with NO PATCHES AT ALL, so I tried it with Ranger 3

Result: Clean ROM worked perfectly!! We need to wait for a Fixed ROM to play in iTouch, R4i (I guess) and some others.

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger 3: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) AP

Thanks, I updated the topic.

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger 3: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) AP

The M3 Real and above share the same problem with iTouch, R4i, and the list goes on...

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger 3: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) AP

Okay.

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger 3: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) AP

Well, let's hope that someone makes a patch that really works because I want to play the game on DSi D:

Sorry about the double post but the M3 Simply can run the game perfectly and it saves as well, if I get the ROM working in iTouch, it should work in the others and I'll post.

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger 3: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) AP

is there any fix for M3i Zero, the rudolph's patch and the arm7 path are not working on it, it have a black screen after we save the boy/girl from get hited by some cannon balls

Note: I have the last firmware, from the follow date: 03/04/2010
(Sorry Bad English, Google Translation)

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger 3: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) AP

Is there any way to play this game on No$GBA as of now? Nothing seems to work. And I am using No$zoomer.

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger 3: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) AP

Sorry guys. If you are using No$GBA, use a firmware.bin, but apparently even that isn't working.

Sorry, guys just have to wait.

 

Re: Pokemon Ranger 3: Hikari no Kiseki (Tracks of Light) AP

Man... Oh well. I'm not really crazy about PR anyways.
