I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.
So I'm thinking of picking up one of those nifty Acekard2i for my DSi, and was reading the OP. How well does the Descent game play? I loved that game and actually still have my old disk lying around.
If anyone out there, like me, spent countless hours in their youth with Choose Your Own Adventure type books (specifically Joe Dever's Lone Wolf series), then I have a tasty nugget of DS homebrew to which I would like to direct your attention.
That really is a sweet piece of homebrew. It looks good, plays smoothly, and best of all, your save is persistent - once you've beaten the first game, the second game loads with your previous save and continues your character.
I really hope he releases the third book in the series soon.
Maybe I am doing something wrong. I downloaded the files, extracted the .nds file, tossed it on my R4, but when I chose the game I get a pair of black screens. All of my other games play fine. I even tried loading the game into a NDS emulator and got the same thing. Redownloaded, same. Tried the arm7 replacement thing, no change. Advice?
Man, I don't know. It just worked for me. I'm using an R4 as well. For what it's worth, I keep my games in a separate folder off of the root (/-Games/).
I keep my games in a games subfolder as well. No clue what I am doing wrong. Did you have to do that DLDI thing to get it to work? I tried DLDI file and program I found, no change. The second part at least shows that its loading, but still just sits there. The original just gives me two black screens.
I just got a DSi and I'm looking into some homebrew options. Can someone recommend a cart from somewhere aside from dealextreme? They only take paypal and that's not an option for me. Thanks in advance.

realhotstuff.com and acekard 2i (I think it's called)
I'd use realhotstuff over dealextreme any day of the week. They've been extremely reliable.
Yeah, the Acekard 2i seems to be the new hotness for DSi-compatible cards.
Edit - It's got upgradeable software/firmware, so it'll probably be the standard game of cat-and-mouse between Nintendo and the Acekard guys to stay one step ahead of each other.
I can't seem to get to many US-based sale sites, they're all getting blocked for some reason, but modchip.ca and others are just fine ... o_O

Thank you, good sir. That Acekard model is reliable with the DSi?
Edit: Poop.. All the acekards were out of stock at realhotstuff.

I ordered an Acekard 2 off realhotstuff today, and I was curious if there was any compelling reason to use the official firmware instead of AKAIO, which seems to be a bit more feature-rich?

Well the Acekard update for 1.4 compatibility is going to make it damn near impossible for nintendo to block them. From my limited understanding the patch attaches a "Header" to the Acekard rom that makes the system read it as if it was a retail game (In this case Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle). As far as the ds can tell it's a legitimate retail game.
Now if my understanding is correct, pretty much the only way nintendo would be able to block this is to block the game itself, which isn't exactly an option.

Ugh. I wish I could code. Somebody needs to port some old PC platformers to the DS. There's a Keen port, but it's not amazing. Keen 4/5 or Jazz Jackrabbit, anyone?

This is awesome. I got it working with no difficulty. Looks very professional and well put together. I'm totally digging it.
The 12 year old me is jumping for joy at this. It would be great to get the whole series. I wonder if these books hold up to the scrutiny today's cynical 27-year-old me.
Well, I'm having an entertaining time putting just the right amount of tape onto my Acekard 2i to make it fit perfectly into slot 1. As it stands, it takes some fiddling to make my classic DS recognize it. Something isn't touching something else somewhere without a bit of fuss.
So I'm playing this Lone Wolf game, and it's not bad. But to anyone else who is playing....is there a difference between the weapons? You can only hold two at a time and I've only come across one or two sequences where my choice of weapon might have affected the story
Saving the magician by stabbing someone with a spear, and chopping through brush with my axe. I've found a dagger but figure it won't be good for more than sneak stabbing, and a warhammer which would be bulky and a blunt force weapon no good for cutting.
Is there a stat bonus depending on what weapons I have?
When you roll your character at the start and pick your abilities, you can pick weapon skill that gives you a bonus with a specific weapon.
Ah yes, I forgot what I had rolled and there didn't seem to be a way to find out. I just kept my axe and spear. I think I rolled sword so I probably shouldn't have left that on the floor.

That's my biggest fear.
Well that's good news.
it helps to find and read setup instructions.

Dude, it's Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle.

Shrug. These are the same parents who bought a Monsters Inc. game and tried to sue the company because there was a curse word in the opening scene.
Turns out they bought it off the street or something and the curse word was something like "Fucking piracy".

Is there any patches to stop it from sucking? it works, but it's slow and glitchy.
From what I understand, the R4 isn't even supported anymore, and a lot of bootleggers have co-opted the name to sell their crappy flash carts.

And it seems like there's one found weapon that you ABSOLUTELY NEED, otherwise if you miss it you'll get DEAD END's all over the place.
