Savestate
« on: November 20, 2008, 12:16:23 am »
I've never emulated DS before, but I'm grabbing the CT ROM. I'm assuming that

  • no$gba is the emulator of choice
  • I'll need some kind of code or something from gbatemp to play the game

And if anyone has it, a savestate before the Dimensional Distortion would save me some time. Lost Sanctum too...

Sorry to beg, but I just don't have time to do an entire playthrough.

Apparently savestates don't even work on these confounded things; DS emulation isn't quite up to speed yet. There must be some way of trading files though.

I intend to do a full playthrough, but I wanted to wait for the English version to record the Dimensional Vortex and the post-final boss. I'm just trying to rip the new Schala sprites from the Japanese version at the moment.

I see. Maybe there'll be a code function. Yet another CT playthrough with cheating, heh...

Just hit f2 in no$GBA and add each code Separately.

Okay, I've begun playing. I guess I'll go ahead and do a full playthrough, but avoiding spoilers for this long is going to be hell on earth, considering I'm a freaking administrator of the Chrono Compendium...

I'll document all the changes I'll find.

Strange, the game isn't working for me. It won't even load the game. o_O

I had to go to Emulation Setup > NDS Cartridge Backup Media > EEPROM 64Kbytes

Oh, Jesus, the Japanese version can be put in English too, can't it? *facepalms*

The movies all seem to be in .MODSN3 format, and for the life of me I can't find a player.

This is so weird. I'm actually playing a Chrono game technically right after it's released with the rest of the world.

Maybe I'm going to cry   :lee:

"Nom nom nom" is a retarded meme. I can't believe the localization team fucking put it in Chrono Trigger.

Shinrin, what settings are you using? Your color looks so much more vibrant than mine.

This is so weird. I'm actually playing a Chrono game technically right after it's released with the rest of the world.

Maybe I'm going to cry   :lee:

It's the first time I've been aware of a Chrono game during release.
Oh, and the first time I'll have owned a physical copy of a Chrono game when my Japanese DS cartridge arrives in a day or two.
 :lee: :lee: :lee:

As for the savestate problem, I'm sure regular saving works on no$gba...?
