Skies of Arcadia on DC Emulator

Hehe, okay, I'll do my best, to get those posts without spamming.
To say the trouth I would like posting more in this message board, because I really like the site, but it's unforunatly a question of language. I'm not very good in writing english - just reading it, is much easier. ^^

I'm going to borrow this thread for a while, to save some space, and Loran will probably have the same question as i do.

When you play this on an actual DC, when you go near a "cham" (the things that make Cupil evolve) your VMU would beep. However, when played on nullDC, there is no indication of where they are, since there is no physical VMU to beep. Is there a work around for this?
Thanks.

Not sure if this'll work but...

Start NullDC > Options > Select Plugins > under Maple (Input/Saves) Plugins, choose Port A > for the 2nd and 3rd menus, choose NullDC VMU.

Now Normal Boot without a game, and you'll either get the BIOS screen or the Music CD screen.

If you get the Music CD screen, choose Back, and you'll be taken to the BIOS screen.

Once you're on the BIOS screen, choose File > select one of the Memory Cards > All > Delete All (Memory Reset) > Yes > customize your VMU how you want it.

When you're finished, choose Yes and the VMU will be formatted (which will make a new one if one wasn't already made).

You can do this for the second one too.

I'm not sure though if this'll give you the beep, but it's necessary to do all that so you can save your games.

If it doesn't work, then try ChanKast which can make and use VMU's that have LCD screens.

thanks, i'll just switch to chankast, it'll make things a bit easier


EDIT: i just noticed that the sound on ChanKast is a bit off, kind of 8-bit-ish. is this normal? And also, about the VMU screens, that would be through the VMS Manager, correct?

[SegNin]

For ChanKast, you have to go to Plugins > Configure > under Port A for Controllers, set it to VMS with LCD.

Then go through the BIOS screen to configure the VMS how you want it.

I downloaded Sprungs version, but it's also such an Echelon version. I did all the stuff that I did before and the same things happend. So there is no different between those version... *cry*

Is there really no way to get the game WITHOUT that Echelon?

Yes.

Skies_of_Arcadia_NTSC_DC-HYKAN 4x99 minute release, that's what you want.

I might have to check that out myself. I've got the Gamecube version of Skies of Arcadia but for some reason SEGA took it upon themselves to butcher out Pinta's Adventure. I used to love downloading that mini-game to my VMU and play it during my lunch periods in high-school. Wish they had rewritten it and made it a playable GBA download... *sigh*

to bad you can't play the minigames when you emulate.
