Other notes

I Didn't check how the Local Wireless mode works.
I still didn't check the Wi-Fi related problem in the latest nds-bootstrap version (I need someone to play against).
I played the game both in TWL and NTR speeds.

Thanks. This game has been brought up on discord on a couple occasions. Good to have it properly tracked here. I knew about the flicker but hadn't tried WiFi and hadn't yet experienced the freezing.

Something of note , this game is the most lag-prone game I ever saw on the DS.
Even the TWL setting wont help against the lags much.

Can you try this with a newer build? This should be better now (still not completely fixed I believe, but much better than it was in early January)

[ahezard]

could be linked to #554 that have been fixed. Please retest with the latest nightly.

I don't have anyone to wifi against, but the actual gameplay issues are entirely gone as far as I can tell. Not sure if we should still leave this open for the wifi issues until someone can test this?

I tried to play UMK but all I get is a black screen now.
Is it something in my settings or something? I dont remember if i NoSSL'ed patched my game.

[dubbz82]

multiplayer issues may be related to #553 ?

I am still getting a black screen when i launch the rom.
I am using a USA Rom.
