Yes

This definitely used to work with nds-bootstrap, I've played this game before.

[Peter0x44]

I can confirm this game works on nds-bootstrap v0.72.1 (It's what I had on my DSi, I haven't updated in a while).

[SafeNut]

I tried using v0.72.1 and its still crashing, not sure what the issue is then

[Peter0x44]

What you describe is exactly where it used to crash years ago, that seems very strange.

I suppose checking your roms against no-intro hashes can't hurt.

We're you running the game on a flashcard?

[Peter0x44]

Were you running the game on a flashcard?

I was not.

[SafeNut]

no intro only has the sha1 for it and I was only able to figure out how to get the sha256 SHA256 8BA6A31072EBC8E850E5D7BB40DC4CA785F4ED2B6FF7DBD1A6D63A1E6217CD86

I was not.

That explains why there wasn't a crash on your side then. B4DS compatibility is slightly lower than on DSi/3DS SD.

[SafeNut]

yeah same rom is running fine off of my n3ds sd card
