An update with pictures!? Impossible! Yet here it is.
Here we’re just showing some of the recent refinements to the menu and shop screens.
In other news, I’m happy to report that everything is progressing nicely. I’m pretty much done. Since I really don’t have anything else to do with the text until it gets edited, I’m just working on playtesting. I’ve already completed a full playthrough of the game and made a lot of little tweaks and looked for bugs. Kingcom is doing a great job staying on top of all of those and I’d say we’ve corrected as much in the last few weeks as we have for many months prior. Yuli is working on editing the events with much fervor. I’m really pleased with her progress. Proofreading is also moving along… I think. Subtitles are likewise progressing. Everything looks like it should be wrapping up around the same time, so I’m just trying to make sure it all comes together right.
And now to drop a bomb on some of you… Lately there have been some questions of “Will the patch work on my flashcart?” The answer? Well, it might, but it might not. Unfortunately, because of the way that flashcarts work, not all of them will work with ToI right out of the gate. Here’s the deal: Flashcarts apply patches when they load the game. The problem is that some carts apply the patches according to the CRC of the rom header. Since the patch will change the rom header, some carts won’t recognize it and there’s nothing we can do about it. Sadly, only an update from the flashcart devs will solve the problem. So now you’re all panicking and wondering if your card is among those that don’t work. Here’s what we know so far:
- CycloDS will work.
- R4 will work.
- Acekard 2s works (tested with AkAIO 1.5)
- Some Supercards WILL NOT work.
- Emulation will work.
So if you’re among those whose carts will not support the patch, I really do apologize. I wish we could do something about it, but it’s totally out of our hands. If you are in that unfortunate situation, your only options are to get a different flashcart, play the game on emulation, or convince the maker of your flashcart to update their database to support our patch. There is literally nothing we can do about it.
Sorry to end on that note, but there you have it.
EDIT: Added information about Acekard. Thanks deets.
glad to see everything going nicely
thank you translating team
hey you are still doing everything you can, so great job. Hopefully I’ll get some time off to play… (I’ve kinda played Japanese version but so what?)
well done hope i works on acekard2i
So glad It works on r4, for a change! XD
Anyway, these screens are looking really hot, It looks so professional!
Since the M3 simply and R4 are kinda the same, would people with an M3 simply be able to play the patch too?
Ahh Man This Is Going Great Looking Foward to the release CANT WAIT!!!!
Great Job ABSOLUTE ZERO FTW YAY
I’m sure that when the patch is out the unworkable flashcards communities will work hard on making it work (like when a game is dumped with piracy protection and its cracked after a few days), so there is no need to rush and buy a workable flashcard.
I have a R4 (with YSmenu installed even if it won’t work on the day of the release, like I said I’ll wait for a fix [I already waited more than a year so whats a couple more days ;P ]) so I’m happy.
ah thats great good to see that everything is going well haha. Hopefully everyone should be able to play it patched. Just one question, will the cheats from the japanese version work on this or will it totally change ? just a curious question..
Ps. The menus are looking great and take your time. (though the days go on, but I’m starting to bite my arms waiting haha)
hey cyclo and M3 are like EDGE right then that means its gonna be good??
I’ve been following the project updates for about a year now and I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed. Truthfully, at first I was a little discouraged at the speed of translation, but seeing how crisp it has been going I’m happy I’ve been patient. I wish the best of luck to the translation team, and thank you for all of your hard work.
when you mean by some supercards it means that an acekard2i or any other flashcarts won’t work?
thank the world for R4′s.
cant wait
@s:
SuperCard is a brand of flashcards. Acekard is another different brand. The Acekard2i is not a SuperCard. Probably the Acekard2i wasn’t tested, or else it would be in that list.
@swa:
thanks for the info
Well, I hope Acekard works (^_^)
Otherwise I will drown myself in sorrows, lol
…hope this works on my DSTT..
im really excited..good job!
I dont think the M3 Simply will not work because it’s dead with only version 1.14. But if the R4 that still gets updated and works then the M3 Real will most definitely work and it update about almost everyday or I hope.
Do you know if it will work on the older supercards? like supercard SD or supercard CF?
Thank you for sharing the info regarding the flash carts and CRC checks.
Perhaps there’s a test file users of M3 Simply and Acekard 2/2i users can boot up to test it out? If not, I guess waiting longer won’t hurt. I can pitch in for a CycloDS if I have to. (2i user here)
Thank you for the update. Although now I do not think we’ll get it by Chinese New Year, we DO know that we will be getting it soon.
Are really nice! (the pictures i mean), well as the other said…GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK (i’m waiting for the realase)
amazing!
The cheat databases also won’t recognize the translation, also due to the new header CRC. However, that’s easier to update.
I can’t create a file to test the flashcarts, as the crash only happens half a minute into the game. The game will simply crash when it attempts to play the opening FMV.
So far, only the old and original R4DS, CycloDS and Supercard DS One have been tested. Out of those three, only the last one doesn’t work.
AWSOME!!!!! im eagerly waiting for d patch. THANX GUYS!!!! hope it works on my r4i
uhm…TTDS(i)’s are like almost the same as R4′s right ?
Many R4′s run on YSMENU (if not to say, EVERY R4) and YSMENU is based of TTDS(i)
So that would mean that if it works on R4, it would work on TTDS(i)
too right ????
Woot! it’s getting neare and nearer and…I PRAY MY R4 DOESN’T DIE ON ME YET ._.
Let’s hope on God that all of the card goes well with it.
I hope it does work for DSTT, I mean its supposed to be the same as R4, I have patched a number of games in the past and they worked. Emulation seems like a fine option too.
Ah ok thank for the tip kingcom
Why do you even bother to cheat this game is very easy even in unknown mode.
@LJkAze What do you mean the unknown mode?
CAn I get this mode when I beat the game once?
I F***ing hate cheaters. WHO CARES if it’s their choice how to play a game. WHO CARES if they are not hurting anyone! Cheaters are despicable.
R4 just kicked our Acekard ass for the first time.
I just pray that EDGE will work…it runs the original Japanese game but not sure about the patch
Well I never said I’d use cheats your thinking of such a 1 sided story. I’m talking about if the cheat can in some way, bypass whats stopping the game working on other cards. It’s just a thought since you guys worked hard on this game, then unfortunately others can’t play it. Some games might need a code, similar to the anti piracy. So before anyone calls me a cheater or what not stop being so one minded. (like Manana) I’m actually trying to help.
*Hopes M3 works*
I guess it’s theoretically possible, but it’s ultimately not easily possible or our responsibility to fix these problems. All flashcart developers have fixed what kept Innocence from working, so they should have an easy time updating their databases. If they care, that is…
You know what’s awesome? I NEVER called you a cheater, WhoaA! I’m talking about cheaters in general … unless you … OH! of course :3
can u guys check and see if it works on an acekard2i?
There really shouldn’t be too many worries. As far as I can tell, the DS Mod Scene is far too established for the flashcard developers to pass up on such an anticipated translation. Looking past the developers, there are still multiple talented people out there who have the ability to create fixes for each flashcard. Just look at the kind folks over at GBAtemp.
There’s really nothing wrong with cheating in a game. Some people just have more fun with infinite life with a 9999 attack stat, and some people don’t. If you don’t have fun like that, good for you, but it isn’t affecting you in any way possible.
Do u know if it works on iTouchDS?
Great! but im gonna go crazy with all this teasers!! i dont like to be teased >8O
First off, woo, pictures! :3
Secondly, I can only pray that it’ll work on my Acekard 2.
Awesome news. Looking forward to the final product.
Nice, I’m looking forward to play TOI on my DesMeMu?
I checked back after a few weeks and still no release/release date
Oh well, Bioshock 2 will keep me happy
Hey would multiplayer work with other people if you played with the translation?
does “supercards” include the M3 Real?
