I took this from a D/P Emulation FAQ:
In Options, go to "Emulator Setup", use these settings:
Emulation Speed/LCD Refresh: Unlimited MHz-Disaster, 10%
Reset/Startup Entrypoint: Start Cartridge directly
Video Output: 24bit True Color
GBA Mode: VGA (poppy bright)
GBA Cartridge Backup Media: Auto
NDS Cartridge Backup Media: Flash 512KBytes
Solar Sensor Level: Bright Sunlight
Sound Output Mode: Digital Mono (fast)
Sound Desired Sample Rate: Low (10kHz) (fast)
The game card errors are normally from using the wrong Save Type (or "NDS Cartridge Backup Media", if you will.)
From Wikipedia:
Tasmanian Sword: allows you to change form. To activate this power, jump and, while in the air, hold button 2 on the second controller and press button 1 on the first.
You don't really need the Shogun stuff, it makes the Dragon Zombie a quicker fight, although I guess it would be slower in the long run, since you have to go out of your way to get the cash.
With the Tasmanian Sword you can transform into any of the other forms by attacking at the top of your jump, even the forms you don't have. So you could get the sword, morph to hawk-man, fly to the Samurai Dragon's castle and warp back to the town. To see it in action you should check out Jack "#endgame" Kelly's Speedrun.
Hello! If anyone is thinking of doing this on the new SMS Rerecording emulator, I think this is a good route. After watching OgreSlayeR's TAS and #endgame's single-segment speedrun, i've kinda mashed the two together:
Mecha Dragon
Get key by the pirate ship.
Buy Mithril Armor/Sword.
Go through desert, beat Mummy Dragon
Buy Shogun Lamellar/Blade
Go through jungle, beat Zombie Dragon
Get key from red ghost below castle.
Glitch to Ruined Castle, get Legendary Armor/Sword
Go though lava region, get Thunder Sabre
Transform to Mouse-man
Go to underground cave, get Magical Sabre
Go through cave, get Tasmanian Sword
Transform to Hawk-man, go back to village
Go to Vampire Dragon's world, beat the game.
To add to that, Mickey Mouse: Land of Illusion is a nice game with many different themed levels. Possibilities are there for a no star run or a 100% all star run.
A friend of mine, Ricky, is planning to translate Mother 3, especially if an english version isn't made, here's his post from another forum:
Probably nothing. Meh.
I was seriously hoping the NBA Finals would be Miami and Phoenix. But *sigh*
Apart from that my sport of choice is Rugby, and my team of choice is the All Blacks, who play the British and Irish Lions in the third test tomorrow.
If you're willing to try it out, you can morph SMS and GG roms using Dr. SMS and re-record using Nitsuja's Modified VBA. The visuals are passable but the sound isn't quite right. It should be enough to people to play around with, though.
thanks to blip for sending me the emulator.
Now for the IRC-less and/or impatient, i present to you:
snes9x with avi recording
my original hoster went to bed. so i had to ask around.
i'm tired, i'm off to bed too.
haha..... sorry. I stopped this for a bunch of reasons, one being although i did get a reasonable speed, the first 15 levels are basic and put people off the video (even though it can get pretty hectic around the 22 mark)
you're more then welcome to try though :)
