I can confirm this. I've also tried forcing the save type to 64K, much along the lines of the Devil Survivor issues and also had no luck. Guess it's time to start whacking away at this one. *blows dust off his software*

The Japanese version already had an AP that prevented saving/deleted your save. It's a matter of time 'till knowing if Atlus USA changed the protection itself or it remains the same.

Wasn't there something about a Rudolph Patch something something

 

It seems has same AP protection as the Japanese version. Too bad we doesn't have any skilled coders to make patch quickly unlike Japanese people.

 

Yeah, can't save either with my R4 Ys menu.

 

Rod - yes there was actually. It was a pretty simple hex edit. I'm fiddling with it now.

 

Downloading this for Ez Flash,
Checked the Ez Flash Forums and no post of not working...

Will post if I have any problems!

 

the save file i created on my supercard loaded on my acekard but when i try to save again on my acekard it fails
working fine on Supercard with latest firmware saves/loads

 

I have the same problem with the DSTT with the latest firmware. "Save Failed" > try to load failed save > "Save Corrupted" > Save icon vanishes.

 

i wonder if arm7 patcing could help?

 

Seems to save and load okay on Edge 1.9. I've walked round some caves and a pixie has joined me and had some random encounters with no crashes. No idea what's going on though as I didn't read anything as I didn't think it was going to work.

 

Works perfectly on my CycloDS Evo (Firmware 1.58 Stable), able to save/load and move around. No freezing or crashing so far.

 

Downloading right now as we speak.Will give info on how it works on my DSTTi with the latest firmware

I'm guessing Nintendo is really taking the Anti Piracy seriously huh?

 

so is this game on on any emulator (?) and which one? (and by work I mean you can save it without failed)

 

r4 is FAILING at the saving as well...makes me sad panda

 

I've a M3DS Real and yeah, it crashes during the intro, when he says something about billions of people. When I skip, it crashes during saving. It kinda sucks, because I was waiting so long for this game.

 

Cyclods running firmware v1.58B2 can confirm no issues with saving or loading so far.

 

Fails to save on R4DS v1.18

 

Already posted that earlier, but, guess it never hurts to have two test results.

Also, you should upgrade to 1.58 Stable, was released yesterday.

And, @Jason5877, mind updating your post with a list of all the working/not working cards based on people's posts? If a mod doesn't do that before you, that is. Would help people who're having problems with the AP, so they don't need to scroll through all the posts.
