Castlevania Order of Ecclesia Bug and Fix #963

Closed helpingout closed 4 years ago

helpingout commented 4 years ago

Your console: DS Lite Launch Method: Twilightmenu 15.1.1, bootstrap 0.35.1 Version used: 15.1.1 0.35.1 Flashcart used: R4 Gold Game tested/used/applicable: Castlevania Order of Ecclesia

Expected Behavior: It should boot the game

Actual Behavior: Unless you revert back to an older version of Twilightmenu/bootstrap (sorry I don't know which one), the game will not boot (crashes after intro). To get it to boot on the older version you MUST enable 'Heap Shrink' option by pressing Y on the game. This option has been removed on newer versions, and pressing L does not fix the issue

I hope this is helpful for others and can be fixed! : )

UP, Happens the same on a DSi with Hiya. I thought my save was corrupted, but the save works on an emulator and a clean start on the ds wont work, broke my fun :( It worked on TWmenu 14.2 and stopped working on 15.0.0, I know because thats the last time my save was modified, 4/22/2020. Bootstrap v0.32.1 commits 789a734 from 13/4 and e28023e from 14/4 changed heap handling

I confirm that the problem continues to happen with TWmenu 16.3 on my DSi. The game crashes right after the intro.

If you're running on a flashcard, a DS Memory Expansion Pak is required, so that WiFi code runs correctly, otherwise switch to the flashcard kernel instead of B4DS, in TWLMenu++ Settings.

If it's not on a flashcard, make sure WiFi is turned on, in TWLMenu++ Settings.

Hi, thanks for the reply. The game really worked after enabling wifi. It would be nice if the game did not need this requirement.

this problem returned... Vram boost allows the game to launch but it freezes when loading a save. Yes my WI-FI is active. Also why was heap shrink added and then removed?

RocketRobz commented 3 years ago

Heap shrink was added as a way for loading to be faster. It was later removed, because we found a way for loading to be faster without it.

As for the issue itself, the card read DMA implementation is currently buggy, so try turning it off.
