DS #2949: Chrono Trigger DS (Japan)

[GameSoul]

out of nowhere my brother's file deleted itself, right when he was going to face lavos, this is what he did so far spoilers ahead:

Spoiler

I believe he let crono kill himself and he just resurrected him with the crono trigger, he did the lucca sidequest, and he beat the lavos shell.

does anyone have the save file that's close to his? And does anyone know what went wrong with his game?

No idea what went wrong. Might be from using certain cheats maybe? I have an R4 save with the second file having every side-quests done (This includes the Dimensional Vortexes) except for Lost Sanctuary where I only did the first quest. However, every character has a custom name as well as the Epoch so I don't think he would want that though. If memory serves, there was a way to rename your characters but I can't remember where that is. If he still wants my save just for the sake of seeing the ending, I'll try to look for the renamer and put up the save if he wants.

GameSoul, if you still need help, go inside the Cursed Woods and go behind the bush at the back end.

Omg, I thought that was just a monster! THANKS!

what are the custom names? And he said that the game told him his file got corrupted.

Crono has my name and everyone else are named after my friends. If the save was corrupted, it must've been cheats or because he turned it off when it was still saving.

EDIT: I just found out how to rename the characters now. If he still wants the save, I'll rename everyone back to their default names before putting it up.

how would you send the save to me?

 

[ChaosBoi]

I can just upload it and PM you. Then you save it and download it. Depending on what kind of flashcart you're using, you might need to convert it first though. If you're using an R4 as well, then you don't need to convert it. As mentioned in the edit on my last post, I just found out how to rename the characters.

ok pm it to me.

Actually I decided to upload it to the site instead since I figured someone might want to use it as well. Here's the link to the save file:

If people are reaching Lavos already (with side quests complete) then they've either dumbed the game down a great deal from the SNES version, or people are using walkthroughs, (unless they haven't slept since the rom was uploaded), this is really a game that you should find your own way through (at least first time round), it has the reputation it does because it is such a rewarding adventure - don't rush it!

It took me several attempts over the course of a week just to figure out how to beat Lavos, no GameFaqs back in the mid 1990s!

 

[Proinsias]

I'm sorry I don't want to search 90 pages; I have an R4 and I applied the cheat to Chrono Trigger. The game works fine, but I can't save. I've played over an hour but the menu point always tells me "you cannot save at this time"

Can someone please help me out?

No idea, I only just got to the castle in 600AD myself.... I wouldn't say guides are all that bad though, and it wouldn't surprise me if people have been playing it non stop since it was dumped.....

and of course some people probably remember how to do everything from the first time around

you can only save on the world map or a save point

Ahh, thanks! I'm dumb.

 

[FTommy]

well, I'm the last genius who patched his rom and deleted the whole card using dstt

oh well...I just lost my...urgh...FF4 save...urgh...wanna...faint....
so guys please, backup your card before using the patched rom on dstt.

anyway, I didn't tried to run the cheat.dat, anyone with dstt tried?

Yeah, I did this as well, even lost my save to the same game you did! LoL...

Anyway, I finally did get the patch working for me on the TTDS... I am using the large cheat database that they released here. At first when I tried it I was using Yasu on my TTDS with 1.16. I confirmed that cheats were working for CT (tried the 999 life one and it worked) but the copy protection patch was not working.

I then tried using the original 1.16 menu (not Yasu) and it worked great! It must be something in the way that Yasu is enabling that particular cheat that is causing it to stop working. Hopefully there will be an update for that menu at some point.

Hope this helps others who may be having the same problems I was!

Thanks!

Can someone give me a direct link to THAT cheat database?

 

[Chhrono]

I've been playing since the game was dumped and just finished all the bonus content a short while ago. My file has about 33 hours on it, I've worked at least 24 hours at my job this week since the game was dumped.

CT is not a long game at all, I generally finish the story on the snes in 15-20 hours on an initial playthrough, and 7 or less hours on new game+. The new content adds 5 or 6 hours I'd say.


Also I never saw if there was a special fix for M3 Perfect cards so far in this thread, as I've yet to get the game to run with the trainer attached. Time to check the most recent pages on that since i know I'm not the only one with this problem.

 

[Chhrono]

well i manage to get to the side quest after 12 houres


well you dont need more than 20 houres to complete the game

 

[aphirst]

It's a truly brilliant game, deserving of its reputation and this remake.
I like the 2D-ness of the Graphics - it feels more Nostalgic :3

Oh Sod it. I'll donate this post so that one of the other refreshers can have Post #1337. Because I'm a nice guy.

 

[Awdofgum]

Good game, I couldn't resist playing it before the US release

 

[Cronorei]

Well now I have the rom working, it's still launching weirdly but it's working.

Now I can't figure out how to get my no$gba save that I converted to a M3 type save to work. The M3 saver manager keeps crashing on me, anyone have an idea?

 

[aphirst]

You didn't make reference to having post #1337 !?
What a waste of generosity.

I've gotten rid of the ROM for now - I'll wait for the (E) ROM before I play it through to the end.

It doesn't take that long to beat the game, and using a walkthrough would certainly make it seem longer if you ask me. It only took me about 21-22 hours to get to where I am with a normal run while in the SNES and PS1 version, it took about 15 hours.
