1. You can use a Patch_etc.ips with some IPS Patcher in order to patch your ROM file.

You can't use YSMENU unfortunately.

When Hot Wheels : Battle Force 5 was released a few days ago, it was widely thought that this didn't work due to protection

As it turns out, it was simply a slightly corrupt rom

On an emulator which runs another recent game without the anti-protection patch that came with it, Layton produces an error that is typical of a corrupt rom and the same error the corrupt version of Hot Wheels produced

Perhaps the problems players are experiencing are being caused by a corrupt rom

If this is the case, hopefully someone will redump it

It appears to work at first, but it stops working right after they talk about the other message in the letter. I assume that's where the first puzzle is, but I'm not sure, since the screens just go dark at that point.

Works fine for me though.
I'm using an M3 Simply v1.14, and the first puzzle starts without a problem.

Are you sure you patched the file correctly?
Cos I actually had to try several different patchers before it worked properly (ipswin SUCKS).

I'm playing it on an M3i0, not an M3 Simply.

Is anyone having any luck with no$gba? Or is that just a no-go all together.

Weird, they use the same firmware IIRC, so that can't be the problem...

Anyone got this thing to work with an R4 and YSMenu?

I got castigated for asking this question at DS-Scene.

Like I said, the patched ROM works perfectly on M3 Simply, which means it should work on R4 as well.

I used the IPS patch linked to by nori2nori. I assume this is the one you are talking about.

This doesn't work on an R4 with YSMenu. I mentioned this on DS-Scene and was insulted and told to reinstall the original R4 menu, which seems an unnecessary step for just this one game, especially considering how much better YSMenu is for other games not including this one.

Regardless, the IPS patched game does NOT work with R4 with a YSMenu, although I read (but have not confirmed) that it works with the original R4 menu.

Anybody else using this set up been successful?

 

[Big Kong Boss]

Agh, I wish there was an Acekard 2/2i patch. The method nori2nori mentioned didn't work.

This method does NOT work with R4 YSMenu.

Instructions followed to the letter. Doesn't even open.

load rom errcode=-1

It could be the ARM7 donor, but I used Lego Indiana Jones 2 as recommended in an earlier post. If that works for other flashcarts, I can't imagine it's the problem here, though.
