EZ-Flash USA Forum

Hello. I have some issues trying to play FFCC Echoes of Time on my Ezflash Vi on my DS Lite. I had just recently "aquired" the game and when I tried to save, it shows me the screen "Could not save data. Turn off the power and reinsert the DS Game Card." The game itself works, except when I need to save my data, it will show me that screen.

I had learned about an "Anti-Piracy Bypass Code" to be used via action replay. I tried that code, made sure I had turned on the code by pressing L+R+Start. I had still gotten the same screen. I used the same code on my sister's R4, in which the game froze right after the R4 finished loading the game.

I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem, but I certainly hope someone can shed light on this.

I downloaded the .dat files from gbatemps own cheat list. I suspected my own error when I produced my own cheat.dat files, but even using other sources such as gbatemp, I have gotten the same results.

*Update*
After some more snooping around, I figured out how to fix the problem! I had to use DSATM to patch the game with the same Anti-Piracy Bypass Code that proved useless before. Why it works this way I don't know, but now I am able to save. If there are any issues, I will post here. Thanks to anyone reading this anyhow! BTW, same fix works on the R4 as well, if anyone was curious.

Thanks for all your tests viguro. Sounds like the ARDS engine doesn't work properly if DSATM succeed to patch the game.
Please add your bug report to the bugtracker in my sig. Don't forget to tell which kernel you have tried.
