What about a fix for EDGE?

Supercard users rejoice! They just released a temp patch: http://bbs.supercard.sc/thread-21485-1-1.html

download link inside post by cftogba (one of the adminstrators, so i assume this only works for supercard?)

basically the post says this is a temp fix specifically for this game to run, and to make it work perfectly would take some time so they decided to release this first.

1. Enable Patch Saver and Patch Speed
2. Apparently in order for this to save, u have to turn off your DS (i think it means not soft resetting probably)

tested it on Supercard DS one, and yes it works, story mode is accessible, and the game is savable.

note: cheats does not work though

How do you save on this thing? do i have to wait for the SAVE sign to appear?

im using AK2i with AKAIO 1.5

 

[k0sm0s]

in story mode u save in the menu (the PDA), just tap one of the 3 slots and it saves
in stage mode it will save when u choose the option

 

[Chris_Skylock]

i already played like 5 minutes and when i close it the save is gone. i'll take a look again

EDIT: I cant see the menu nor have access to it. I guess i have to play through the game

 

[k0sm0s]

no idea, if it saves it should save permanently, probably incompatibility?

How do you use the patch on the supercard rumble slot 2? Thanks in advance!

 

[bibimario]

Is the patch works on ds Linker? I think there was a link between sc and DL (maybe the same creators, can't remember). And with what program do you patch the game?

Looking forward to a R4 patch, dying to play this game.

Mine doesn't work either (M3DS REAL on NDS Lite; up-to-date firmware). I've been waiting for this game for so long. I'd finally be able to try Idolmaster, only to be stopped by this. How infuriating

.

How can this problem be fixed????? Someone has to make a patch or something?

 

[kesadisan]

need... patch... now...
lol
seriously this game gets old without patch

Gets old? What do you mean? It won't even load for me. You have some sort of limited version that works or something (because that's what I've heard for owners of other cards)?

I've always wanted to try out Idolmaster, and now that it is on DS, and it has a trap, I need to play this. How long does it take to patch it? What exactly is involved in the patching process?

According to kesadisan, EDGE 1.5 allows iM@S to run, with very limited functionality. Story mode is inaccessible, with STAGE mode having only one stage. Also, he said this is an old protection method, used in another NAMCO game. I'm about to try it too... just downloaded the loader now

EDGE work fine with story mode.

hexedit your ROM

[Raestloz]

Are you sure it works? Anyone can test it? To tell you the truth, I know shit about Hex editing

 

[niu]

yes, work fine on EDGE OS 1.5.

 

[Raestloz]

Then can I humbly ask you how to do it? Like I said: I know shit about hex editing, let alone doing it. It would be a great help

 

[Chris_Skylock]

found the save option. it was during gameplay. God, that was annoying. I hate the editing stage from the first part. I stopped playing it after I saved

 

[Raestloz]

It f*cking works! Damn! Never thought I'd stumble upon the answer like this! You've just got my respect niu! And thank you very much!
