Digimon Ruby(Aka Digimon Rury)(GBA)

Sorry for making old focus into a new thread.

I saw Sir Taizou's Digimon Ruby(aka Digimon Rury) Video - Looks interesting and good music(Some musics are reused from Shi Kong Xing Shou), as always Vast Fame did.

Well, I heard that this game is not dumped yet.... Due to Rom Copy Protection?(Sorry, I'm not good at GBA ASM, either. Also, I have neither GBA or DS)

I think possibly the version Volumerates is selling here might have the protection already removed, so it *might* be dumpable like Sapphire was (of course it might also be hacked like Sapphire to remove the staff credits..)

so if someone with a DS and a flash cart (R4 etc) could buy it they might be able to dump it. I'd do it myself but i'm kinda saving up for something else at the moment.

Sir Taizou // Then, is it possible to rip music only?

Not from the protected copy, no - I can only dump a small portion of it.

It's been ten days so... is the game dumped yet or what?[/quote]I'll try to be more punctual with your free games in the future.

Ruby cart hangs in an actual GBA, tried on multiple systems and either sticks at a white screen or actually turns the screen off but the system stays powered on. ROM dumped as a 128Mb game with 512k SRAM save, headered as DIGI WORLD.

Hangs at a white screen with background music on VBA, same on Supercard GBA flash cartridge.

Plays without problems on my EZ-Flash II flash cart?!?

I think both the real cartridge and VBA might have to do with a gamesave problem. The game has a quick backup battery check prior to booting, so I need to do a bit of investigating.

I don't think the battery check does anything - when I got my copy the battery was dead and it'd still pass the test. It only seems to do the test every so often though, it seems to be triggered more often if I turn the gameboy off and on rapidly AFAIK. Maybe it's really a copy protection routine disguised as a battery check or something.

Is your cart a newer copy from volumerates or ebay or somewhere like that, or an older original one?

I noticed VBA hangs at the battery check (black "BATTERY OK!!!" screen) sometimes instead of the white background with the title music playing. I also tried it in gPSP with the same results. Seems this EZ-Flash II cart is all it's going to work on.

If the cartridge actually worked in a real system I could get a better answer, so I don't know if it's an original run or a reprint. I've got a CIB copy coming sometime this week so hopefully that will yield some better results.

Not sure if this is a foolproof way of telling but I'm pretty sure my Rury is original and my Sapphire is a reprint, and Rury has "Model No. AGB-022" on the back but Sapphire has "Model No. AGB-004 Pat. Pend Made in Japan".

What are you using to dump it btw?

If that's so then this is a reprint. I'm using a USB cartridge reader/writer to dump, it spits out a GBA image and also allows you to read/write gamesaves depending on the save type.

So I played this on my EZ Flash II up till a point you could save, made a save in both slots. I was hoping to grab that valid savegame and possibly use it if an existing one was needed for whatever reason.

Tried to dump the .sav from the cart, the dumper acts as if there is no save. Then I thought I'd put a second copy of Ruby on the cart to see if it could load the original savegame. Did that, booted it, greeted with the white screen and BGM playing, the same error when the ROM is used on anything.

Loaded my original working copy and.... white screen on that one too. I've reformatted, reflashed, everything I can think of and I can't get it to work again on the EZ Flash. Extremely strange.

Seems Vast Fame just screwed up and made this game impossible to save in. Not the smartest people are they :/
