Big promel solved and updtated v1.2 with a v1.2a buiild.

There is another small problem to fx in the SDL lib but it needs some more debugging.

The only official repository for my homebrew is my github.

Probably updating from Homeb3w will be fine, but I don't know what other people upload on their repository and which version is used.

Some people reported that Meritous downloaded from one of this repositories (using FBI) was not working, but if this happens you can always update again with my latest version. So if you want give it a try.

PS: in the next days I'm going to release a new build using the fix in SDL 1.2 for the randon problem of game starting with no sound that happens on new 3ds models

On the final boss, the dialogue text gets cut off. And after getting the Agate Knife before the cursed seal, Merit's lines are completely gone from the new dialogue.

The save provided is after obtaining the Agate Knife.
Thanks, I'll check it.

Resizing the screen can result in such problems and testing the whole game is very time consuming.

Text seems still to be cut. On the credits there is also "MUSIC - VARIOU" missing the "S". Must be because of the cut problem too I guess. (See attached photos.)

By the way. I'd like to view the minimap clearly but the left side is always cut as you can see on the photo, even when you scroll the the very most end on the big map, it's cut on the minimap and doesn't scroll further there. Any way to make it scroll a little bit more to get it visible?

I also had some problems while playing. Somewhere in the game (after completion of 77%) the game got a slowdown. It wasn't that bad, still playable, but after a while it crashed. Crash logs are attached. The first crash log is after the slowdown. The second crashlog just happened out of nowhere. I hope that helps.

Fixed the credits text (untested, I have to finish the game yet) and tuned the maps scrolling.

Also used a fixed SDL lib that solves the game (CIA format only) sometimes staring without audio.

For the crashes, can't help at the moment.

Installing with FBI remote QR code scanning doesn't work. I guess it's a problem by github because Maze of Galious didn't install either. Amphetamine remote installed though. The map is much better now, though I'd like to see 1-2 pixels space between the bracket-line, it's just too attached to it. Sorry nagging about always the same problems again, but as you can see on the photos, the text is still cut on some places like: "Sound Effects: Various (public dom" as seen on the last photo. IMAG3545.jpg is not a scrolltext, it just stays like this, cut with parts of text on the right and bottom. Also before the battle with WERVYN ANIXIL you can see that some text overlaps the bottom line. Also quitting the game by pressing the HOME button of the n3DS will not quit the game. I have to force shut down. I hope that will help. :)

Thank you. I'm trying to fix everything, already added more padding on all the borders. I'm also tracing the crash, pobably caused by a memory leak in the original code, hope to fix it too.

I'll release it something next week. About the QR codes, I think it's the https that causes the problem. I'll fix the QR codes soon.

@CaptainHIT , the game problems you reported should be fixed now, now I'm trying to fix rhe random crash before releasing an update.

But about the home button not working to exit the game, I can't reproduce it. Does it happen always or only in a situation of the game?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
