Dragon Quest V needs patching?

apparently there is some kinda protection on the rom of DQV and there is a new cheat to disable it. but idk how to correctly apply that cheat, and i have a mac so i don't think it'll work anyway. can somebody upload a rom that has been pre-patched? i know that there was the same problem with chrono trigger, and the patched rom was uploaded, so it's definitely possible. it would be greatly appreciated, and i'm sure that there are other people out there asking the same question.

Of course it's possible for someone to patch the ROM with the Action Replay codes (DSATM etc.). If you have a flashcart, just update your cheat database, which has been updated with the code. Cheat Database

I'm having a problem with the by-pass code, it doesn't seem to work for me.I'm using M3 DS Real and I updated my firmware and formatted my SD.

It's too bad. Narin has stated that the database will not likely work with M3 Real. So try using DSATM (search GBAtemp etc.), and patch the ROM with the Action Replay piracy fix codes.

Ok, thanks. I really appreciate it. ;)

Does the code work with r4?

Yes. Just update your cheat database, it works fine.

Well, just consider me an idiot as far as the flashcard stuff is concerned. I have a ds fire card and fire link, and I'm not familiar with any cheat data base. I know you guys are probably really impatient with people like me, but if you can spell it out me nice and simple how I can get this game to work, I would really appreciate it.

Check if there's a .dat or .xml folder amongst your firmware files.

You have to go to the _system_ folder

Doesn't own an R4.
