What's your flashcard?

[tomudo]

What's your flashcard?

I'm not use flashcard. Final Fantasy 3 runs from SD card.

[RocketRobz]

You marked (Slot-1) Flashcard as your device though.

Try holding L after pressing A/START to launch the game.

Sorry, that is my incorrect mark. :/

I tried as your suggestion but it still freezes.

I assume you're using TWiLight Menu++, correct? If so, when hovering over the Final Fantasy 3 icon, press Y, then a small menu/tab will open, then press X to open up the cheats; the first cheat is called "save checksum bypass code", press A to select it and press X to save this config. This "cheat" acts as a bypass and now you can play the game again, hopefully. If you don't have the cheat database in your SD card, you can get it from here: https://github.com/DeadSkullzJr/NDS-Cheat-Databases/releases and you can use this tutorial on Youtube if you don't know what to put where and so on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRpFM6Fmsjo

Glad I could help!

So it is not a nds-bootstrap issue? I do not understand how a cheat can fix this issue.

Well, it seems to be, because sure enough I tried FF3 on 23.0 and it works fine without the cheat, but on 24.0 I got the same issue as Tomudo, which can only be fixed by the "save checksum bypass".

[RocketRobz]

Does the bug persist in v0.26.1?

[tomudo]

I tested it. Bug behavior is changed.

It freezes video after logo. But If it passes movie by press start then the game runs fine.

This time ap fix (save checksum bypass code) cheat code still freeze at video after logo too.

Haven't gotten this bug, last time I tested.
