DS #5181: Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals (USA)

[Rayder]

Has anyone noticed the super-easy way to skip conversation text boxes?

Instead of wailing a "A" to skip text, just hold "start" and it will zippity-doo-dah through ALL the text during a long conversation at lightning speed. I thought that was pretty cool and worth mentioning for anyone who may not have been aware. So now, when the damn game locks on you, you don't have to suffer reading through, or wail on A to skip all that text.

Or you can just use this patch I made - Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals (U) Patch.

Extract both files (OpenPatch.exe & GameList.txt ) to a new folder
Copy game into that folder
Drag the game onto the OpenPatch.exe
Click yes when prompted
Click OK to finsh

The .nds file is the Patched game and the .bak is the original

Alright, I might be stupid but the hex edits aren't making any sense. What values do I change to what?

(I'm still learning

)

 

[WiiUBricker]

Well I opened the rom with a hex editor and cant find the line

2C 00 9F E5 00 10 90 E5 28 20 9F E5 02 00 51 E1

So maybe something is wrong with the patch?

 

[knl]

so... even with the patch, the game doesn't seem to work very well?
dammit, I wish AKAIO 1.8 was released already...

 

[Rayder]

I patched the game with the above hex edit......it still locks on a CycloDS using B.4 firmware.

I saw the same reports for other flashcarts too at....er.....other sites too.

So the patch doesn't work, apparently. Ah well....

New patch with updated data for Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals (U) - Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals (U)

Retro, is the Hex Edit in the Open Patch correct?

If not: Could you update the Open Patch? I can't do it myself because it doesn't work on Swiss machines (trust me, it doesn't, because of the -->; I can only use it, not edit it).
