I've really enjoyed playing IV, V and VII.

I'm looking forward for the english version.

When does DQ VI coming ?

How to play "Dragon Quest IX: Hoshizora no Mamoribito" on your R4/DSTT

1. Download Patch.rar and get a Patch.exe file from RAR.

2. Rename your DQ9 file to "dq9.nds" and put Patch.exe to the same folder.

3. Execute Patch.exe.

4. That's all right!

is this safe? i likely don't trust people having their FIRST post in this board with giving you an advice to execute a .exe-file... anyway, i got a mac...

 

[Chaotik]

Yeah ... it does work, BUT i only tested on M3 DS Real.

It's safe. Just tried it a few minutes ago

you don't even need to patch the game for no$gba
your no$gba is lack of something

All other games work Except for this one.

patched or no patch it just stop working.

I have even downloaded another no$cash 2.6a and it still didn't work it crash

Don't take it personally. There is a bricker that pretends to be DQ9, so people have their guards up now.

I'm very sorry.

Please don't use the patch that I presented if you can't trust me.

The path.exe has the same effect to the patch for iNF. Only 1 byte will be changed.

I would appreciate it if you could patch the nds file easier than iNF.

What's the 1 byte? If it changes the checksum it could be troublesome. (I'm thinking GTA's multiple cheats entries for difference checksums)

 

[mrfatso]

just a pointless heads up, the rom works on EDGE once u use the AP patch by INF

well, the other patch should work as well

 

[Elritha]

Really didn't take long for a workaround to fix the anti-piracy protection. Sometimes I wonder why they even bother. It must be an extra cost to implement it.

I'm gonna wait for the English version, hopefully it won't have different protection.

 

[janouis]

I'm playing it ryt now... Tnx to INFINITE!!! This game is awesome!!! can't w8t for an english version!!

 

[GeekyGuy]

Well, games like this are a great test for the limitations of this site. As expected, GBATemp is now mostly broken, and though DQIX has been my most-anticipated game for the last two years, I don't look forward to what the English version will do to this site. Either way, I ain't touching this version. I'll be savoring the game when it arrives in English. I waited this long; I ain't gonna muddle through it in Japanese now.

 

[Bloodlust]

Does the current patch work with cyclods?

 

[granville]

I tested that patch on Ysmenu using a Supercard DS-One and Bliss triple loader. Seems to work perfectly. And I pity this poor old site. It just can't handle the flood from this game.

Thanks for the patch INF.

 

[djricekcn]

Does the current patch work with cyclods?

yeah, at least with the new beta3 and the patch applied

 

[CockroachMan]

works on Acekard 2i with the patch.

Am I wrong or the whole Dragon Quest series are only allowed to have their relase date during weekends in Japan?

Probably. I remember reading a news post elsewhere before where big game releases in Japan have people camping out in line just to get the game. So if it's on a weekend, hopefully it would cut down on people calling in sick/skipping class just to get and then play the game.

Think the I-phone release craze, but multiply it 10-20 times, or college students camping out for big campus sporting event tickets and it's on a country wide scale....

I just got to the point where I had a cutscene at the big tree. The glowing thing I got from the girl went into the tree and something happened. Now I don't know what to do to continue. I talked to the king again, but after a lot of babble, nothing. Anyone know what you do next?

 

[Kamika]

Well, anti piracy protection in DS games is fairly new so yeah, most of them can easily be cracked within days after the release, or they find a cheat to circumvent it without the need to patch the rom. But as the years go by, the protection will become harder to crack. I wouldn't be surprised if they even resort to DS bricking anti piracy protections.

But it was to be expected that people would make a DS bricking virus disguised as a game that has yet to be released, so if I find a torrent of the English version of this game posted before the actual US release date, it's most likely a virus.
