DSTWO-Overcomes Any Future Anti-Piracy Ever! Is this true?
M
DSTWO-Overcomes Any Future Anti-Piracy Ever!I read that this is like a Must have! Does it really overcome the Anti-piracy things like Say the EXP Anti-piracy on the New Pokemon games: Black and White?So the point is I have a DSi XL And I wanted to know if i bought this Thing Would it work on My DSi XL? Along with Pokemon Black and The Appropriate patches? Thanks for any answers!

It'll probably work for few years, but of course, by then, they'll probably quit making DS games. It's been 6 years already.

they'll probably quit making PSP games too because of CFW. it's been 6 years too

the DStwo just has the same auto-patch system that other cards like Acekard, CycloDS, Edge, etc. have. It works on some games, and not on others. Same as Acekard's, Cyclo's, etc. It will need to be updated as newer games appear, etc, just like the other cards'.It's not 100%, but it does work occasionally. It happened to have worked with Black and White, but there were games before those that didn't work, and had to be updated, while the previous games did work on the Acekard/Cyclo.Every card claims 100% compatibility, and claiming a "never worry about AP again" is a big selling point, but it won't be 100%.

acekard never worked for me. I had to patch it with every game but the edge did. I updated it once a month and I don't recall ever having to patch anything as long as it was updated.

Thanks guys! So I'm green to get it for Pokemon Black? Thanks anyway!

The anti AP system has actually been 100%. No game since the DSTwo has released has required an outside patch to work. Older games had minor issues that had to be ironed out via firmware update, but that's about it.Unlike every other cart in existence, the DSTwo has actually delivered in this respect.

Thanks it wuud be sick if it could do translation! But THANKS people! you are a real help;)

Someone said that DSTwo has problem when entering Union Room to do wireless trading on Pokemon Black and he need to use separate patch to fix it..
M
I won't be doing Trading or anything Because I'm getting the English version when it comes out!

Doesn't mean that it is fixed by then.
But if you mean getting it from the store then yes...it will be fixed (original cardridges never fail...bah)

Some Ubisoft games didn't work right away, like PoP: The Forgotten Sands.

It's not the same, since the new Pokemons only worked on DSTwo. But somewhat similar, I guess the system used by DSTwo is just better. You're not talking about Acekard 2.1/2i, are you? They don't have an auto-patching system as far as I know. Acekard R.P.G + Wood R.P.G has it.

From SuperCard DSTWO EOS V1.01 changelog:
Compatibility Fixes
3690 - Made in Ore
4812 - WarioWare D.I.Y.
4915 - WarioWare: Do It Yourself
4789 - RPG Tsukuru DS
2385 - Daigasso! Band Brothers DX
4860 - Daigasso! Band Brothers DX v1.1
4951 - Jam with the Band
4952 - Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
Meaning these games were fixed manually and not by the auto-patching feature.

Most of those DIY and Jam with the Band would just be having save file issues rather than AP issues. I'm sure none of those were broken via AP.Remember, compatibility DOES NOT always refer to AP.

But the auto-patcher can't patch everything.
1. Check the cartridge speed. (all flash cart need patch, include DSTWO)
2. Check the difference from orginal cartidge and flash cart. (DSTWO cpu can emulate orginal cartidge, no patch need, others flash cart need patch.)
3. Check the CRC, if game pacthed, it will not work. (DSTWO can auto run in Intelligent clean mode)
That said, the DSTWO ain't gonna be running every game on the planet without patches.

LuckyTrouble77 · #15I'm sure none of those were broken via AP.
I just pasted the full list, didn't mean all those were AP related. Though non-working is non-working, it needs to be fixed anyway. Sure those WarioWare and Daigasso games probably just had save issues fixed but I am quite sure that PoP had one of these Ubisoft protections that couldn't be auto-patched.

My point exactly.

No offense, but I was continuing your post.
Though I have one thing more to add:
No card ever can have 100% compatibility. That's impossible.
The DSTWO, for example, has a really good patch engine that can patch almost every game.
Sure, there are those older games it has problems with. But I doubt the SuperCard team wouldn't fix those.
A game I had problems with in the past:
Contra 4. The DSTWO kept saying "loading. . .".
I was rather surprised at first, seeing that an old game didn't work.
I've done further research on that problem and it seems the ROM has some code the DSTWO couldn't find in the patch engine, so it aborted loading. After downloading a new ROM (using Google) the game was fixed.
I don't say the DSTWO doesn't have great compatibility, but it has to go a few steps further will it have the maximum compatibility.
And by that I don't mean to say the SC team has to work harder, oh no, they are working great on their card.

The auto-patcher is only for AP. Why people think it's for things other than that is beyond me.

No it's not only for AP. It also pathes the ROM so it can use the in-game menu.
When you run in clean mode the card can't use in-game menu's.
