Topic: FF4 DS battles freezing

[JCE3000GT]

Yes I've cheated using the Action Replay, but only for money, levels/stats, items and 100% maps.  So why are some battles freezing you think?  Dr Lugae, 4 tofu's, and the egg battles freeze.  The music still plays but the character animations and monster ani stops. 

Thoughts?

The game effectively freezes... you'd have to reset the game.

Well I know that part, I am trying to find out if it is my cheating that is causing it to freeze (even with the action replay not attached to the DS) or if the game is just buggy?

I never had it freeze the entire time I played it.

i played with my ards quite a bit w/  ff4 and i never experienced freezing either with the actual card or with a dumped copy i made on my ezflash v+ and a cheats.dat file.

Then why the hell am I freezing?  Anyone here with a DS and a legal retail copy?  I want to test something. 

[bond697]

yeah, i do.  what do you want me to do?

JCE, you didn't buy it off eBay, did you? There's pirated DS games on there now just like the GBA. I guess the cost of materials dropped enough that they can do it now, for a while you were safe buying loose DS games. I bought my mom an extra copy of Animal Crossing a few weeks ago and it was just garbage, she couldn't even play it since it crashed so much.

Do you have a save near the tower of babil in the underground and or dr lugae?  I need to see if you can get the battle to freeze if you max out some levels, stats and items.  If not that's ok.

I bought it at Walmart.  *shrugs*

I may have a save there. I'll check and get back to you.

[bond697]

i don't, sorry.  maybe i can download one from somewhere?

[JCE3000GT]

I started a new game and didn't do the level code and I'm not doing anything except save anywhere, Gil and 100% map.  But I've grown tired of this game already to be honest.  I'm playing FF2 on the Wii and enjoying it.  :D

[Dragonsbrethren]

I don't have a save either, got farther than I thought in my last game, already have the Falcon.

Maybe I should take my game to GameStop and ask to swap it.
