Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars



 Spoiler:
 


Comments:

After seeing the latest trailer, I thought I would hype up the game with a thread. Sorry for those who thought there was a scene release! Wink

Description:

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is an entirely original entry into the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto series, and brings a new level of interactivity to its sprawling open environments. With the use of the DS touch screen, players will navigate their way through the streets as they uncover the truth behind an epic tale of crime and corruption within the Triad crime syndicate, delivering the unprecedented amount of depth that has become a true trademark of the franchise.

Following his father's murder, Huang Lee has a simple mission: deliver an ancient sword to his Uncle Kenny to ensure his family retains control of the Triad gangs of Liberty City. Huang is a spoiled rich kid who expects everything to run smoothly, but his trip does not go exactly as planned. After being robbed and left to die, he will search for honor, riches and revenge in the most dangerous and morally bankrupt city in the world.

Developed by Rockstar Leeds, in conjunction with series creators Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be available for the Nintendo DS™ on March 17th in North American and March 20th in Europe.

Features:

* All new replay feature allows you to replay all of your favorite missions
* Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection means head-to-head and co-op multiplayer mayhem
* Stat tracking and leaderboards that track your criminal career
* Epic storyline with tons of side-missions, addictive mini-games and hidden collectibles

There are a trigazillion cards for the NDS and none is working ? LoooL, ok, ok, not funny for you.

So, now you need updated "firmware" for your cards ? Just curious.

Basically yeah, we need a firmware update. Most of the time is due to the updated nintendo ds sdk used by the dev (updated NDS ReadCart() routine and stuff like that). Here it seems to be the save system used, it's a new one.

How to ARM9 patching so it works on EDGE/CycloDS Evolution (and some other)

- Patch rom with Grand_Theft_Auto_Chinatown_Wars_USA_SAVEFIX_V2_NDS-iND.zip (Sendspace link)
- Start DSLazy (Download here)
- load your patched rom (xpa-gtac-patched.nds)
- Unpack
- copy the ARM9.bin file from the NDS_UNPACK directory to a seperate directory (lets call it c:\arm9_backup)
- Delete your NDS_UNPACK directory and current.nds
- Load original non patched GTA rom
- unpack
- replace your ARM9.bin from the NDS_UNPACK directory with the ARM9 from c:\arm9_backup (Overwrite original arm9.bin)
- Click on the NDS Packer icon in DSLazy
- Give a good name to it
- Copy this patched rom to your EDGE / CycloDs Evolution R6 Xtreme, or any other card not working with Grand_Theft_Auto_Chinatown_Wars_USA_SAVEFIX_V2_NDS-iND.zip
- Done

info i found...

"released an Action Replay code made for the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Nintendo DS ROM that will enable it to run on any flashcart without any problems. This method does not require any ARM7 patching for most popular Slot-1 flashcarts (CycloDS, Acekard 2, etc.).

YGXE DEE4AA12 is the Game ID and 020FCB3C 22329203 is the Action Replay code you need to add to the GTA: CW ROM so it will function normally on your flashcart."

Remember, all flashcarts require different methods of inserting Action replay codes."

This game is absolutely hilarious.

You can actually WHISTLE into your fucking DS to hail a cab, all the touchscreen mini-games are funny, and entertaining, and the new cop chasing mechanics are amazing... I wish they were in the GTA4.

Truly awesome so far.
