EZ-Flash USA Forum

I'm playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I have a 1Gb EZ-Flash III, and I'm getting random lockups during the intro to Chapter 2... Everything in Chapter 1 went by without a hitch, but now I'm getting a lot of lockups that're really preventing me from playing any further in the game.

Anyone else have this issue with the game? My DS is patched with flashme, the newest version I believe.

This has been covered before on this forum, but I'll throw you an answer anyway. It freezes up roughly half the time when you are prompted to save at the end of chapters. It still saves though, and if you restart the DS and load the savegame you can pick up where you left off. The game's still playable despite this little oddity.

If you're talking about lockups AFTER that save spot, that shouldn't happen. well, much. I think in the course of the entire game it locked up at random points twice, maybe three times. Considering how many hours I put into it I was okay with that. If it's locking up at a specific point every time you might try a format & re-flash of the rom to see if that helps.

Just tried re-writing the Phoenix Wright rom... and it still is giving me issues.
It locks up EVERY TIME upon examination of the body at the start of Chapter 2, directly after the description of the murder weapon being "The Thinker" statue.

There haven't been reports of a specific point in the game causing a recurring lock-up, other than the glitch with the end-of-chapter save I mentioned. The error you describe is like the portion of the rom is on a corrupt sector or something. Beyond making sure that you've done a complete and full format of the cart with the newest version of the software (this will identify bad sectors if needed) and rewriting the game, I don't really have any other suggestions. Like I said you're the only one who has reported this specific problem.

Alright, the re-format and re-write worked. Thanks for the help.
