DS #5153: Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City (USA)

[JohanX]

I'm sorta torn by this. On the one hand the map making part is so retro! I recall the fond days of me mapping out dungeons in Bard's Tale. Cursing the day they invented spinners+darkeness+teleporters! On the other hand, once auto-mapping came out in later Bard's Tales it wasn't like I missed having to map out reams of graph paper.

Wow - The Bards Tale... That takes me back! I don't remember whether that or one of the Ultima games were my first graph paper mapping games.

I played on a Commodore 64....

so no word on a Kard fix yet? oh well not like I finished either of the first 2 games....

I may just be lucky but I haven't been able to recreate any of the crashes on my cyclods b.4.. I spammed the ninja ability that crashes it and have no problem sailing at all.

I did notice the first rom I found was pre trimmed, I usually don't trust those, I found another one that was 64mb. Are you all sure that you are using the untrimmed rom?

 

[WarioMCP]

We're using the NukeThis release, which is the untrimmed rom you speak of.

I'm not sure there have been any reports of problems with cyclo. Also it's not just a ninja ability that crashes, it's limit attacks (you have to set them in a separate menu).

Whenever I see this topic bumped I get my hopes up a little.
Only to have them crushed.

Hahah, well maybe buying a CycloDS IS the answer?

The trimmed one i found was also labeled as NukeThis, the same file name just trimmed. The one that works for me came rar'd as nt-etod3.rar. Maybe I'm wrong, and cyclods b.4 just works, although there have been reports of it not working with the cyclods, and most of what i can find about it suggests that most the crashes are rom size related.

Just throwing it out there i guess.

Too bad the SCDSTwo does everything the CycloDS does and more for cheaper.

Except for play EO3, apparently.

haha don't buy a cyclods, I think they are officially dead, won't be expecting any more updates. Still a good card though if you had it before, but don't buy it.

nt-etod3.rar is the NukeThis release that everyone is using.

Lots of reports that it's fine on the DStwo though.

Lol, ohh, I thought you had a DStwo! Well get a DStwo then! Especially if it's cheaper. I'm just a cheapskate, I wouldn't buy another DS or card if mine died or something.

Has anyone tried it on edge 1.11 ? Does it work ? Thanks in advance !

I've heard it works fine on iEdge, I'm not sure of the firmware/card differences, but if they are similar it might work.

 

[ojsinnerz.]

Buy the game guys. You can still get the artbook at certain online shops.



It's only 30 bucks.

 

[Daath]

You should go to the cheats board and tell them to stop using AR codes too.

I just decided to go buy the game as I didn't have one of the working cards. unfortunately, I didn't get the artbook. :-( however, EO 3 is probably one of few games I'd actually buy since it presents an interesting challenge which many games lack these days.

last night, though, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a supercard ds two. is $34 a good price for that??? it was the cheapest price I could find for. the main reason for the purchase was golden sun since that will probably have some sort of ap.

 

[lostreverie]

looks like the game hangs no matter what when you get to the third stratum.
