Seiken Densetsu 3 Automatically resets

Haruspex · Post by **Haruspex** » Sat Apr 05, 2008 10:47 am

Hi, in SD 3 the game automatically resets when i reach a certain area, it's called Sub-Zero Snowfield. Note that i said that it resets and not crashes.

Note also that i was playing the game with an unofficial patched translated rom and i overused cheat codes.

I tried the Jap version of the game but no luck. Tried other snes emulators no luck either. Tried on another pc no luck in there also.

Can anyone try the save i uploaded in these file hosting sites?

Code: Select all

When you exit the inn just go east and south, it's really easy to find the area, it takes 10 seconds or so.

Gonna assume you didn't paste the last CRC32 digit (which should be 8 for the clean J ROM)

First: Disable (don't erase, just disable) the cheat codes that hit out of 7E* for that part.

SD3 has a lot of dynamic stuff in ram, and the same place might be used by several routines. Most of the 7F area is a big mess.
I got a couple custom codes that bork it similarly, so that's what I'd check first.
If leaving the 7E* codes also causes resets, disable all codes and retry.

Second: unofficial translation patch ? by whom ?

Yes you are right about the crc32 *fixed*

Unfortunately i don't have or remember what cheat codes i used. This save is actually 2 years old or so

As why i bring this up now i don't know. I just messing around with retro gaming and i remembered this problem and happen to have the save file in handy.

The translated rom info is this

But i don't know if this is the one i used back then when i played the game

It's probably the one you used back then.

I confirm the reset, and meh at it. Maybe an issue with the codes you used and were stored in the save.

It's only 6:50 in the game, so you didn't lose much.

I thought so myself but because it bugged me i thought to give it a try to see if this is a problem with my PC or something else. I guess i am going to start all over again, besides i don't remember almost anything from the game now.
