Mother 3 Announced For Gba

[b00dles]

What a fool, I only just realised Mother 2 was Earthbound all along... which is bloody great and I played it on zsnes with great pleasure. Now I'm definitely excited by Mother 3. Where's that pissing EZFlash....?

[gingerling]

I think I'll just play it on my laptop while waiting for my ez flash to be delivered.

OOH OOH, It looks like something is happening over at the website.

[zektbach]

OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[R0b]

OH GOOD GOD I HAVENT BEEN THIS EXCITED IN AGES

[Blu3Flame]

IT'S OUT!!

[rumblecat]

Hmm, my 3-in-1 ezflash thing for the DS says "can't load a file about 16mb in PSRAM"- the Mother 3 file is 32mb. Is there anyway round it? If I try and load the game directly it doesn't work and I've tried it in NOR mode but that doesn't work either. Works fine on the Virtual Boy emulator on the Mac but was hoping to play it on the DS... anybody know a solution? (And sorry for ruining the sheer joy with some dull technical questions... ) edit : ah, got it working in NOR mode, had to copy the game first or something to get it going which took a while but... hello Mother..!

Every gaming blog/site is about to explode.

[stefcha]

Patched! Playing! AMAZE!

[Blu3Flame]

I'm about 30 minutes from the end of Mother 2, so close.... so close.

Oh God, Oh jesus. Soooooooooo excited!!!! First Mother game i'm about to play. Just one question. I'm playing on the VBA-M (Visual Boy Advance and i can't find out which buttons of the GBA are mapped to the buttons of my keyboard. Does anyone know this?

Otherwise:

EXCITED!

[R0b]

IT'S OUT!!

You are my jesus.

Got to Options and then Configure Keys and you can just put in your own settings (at least on the Mac version you can). Edit: beaten to it... slow fingers..

[Duckula]

I'm not incredibly hyped about it but I've got a Micro and a flash card at home so It'll definitely get played.

[R0b]

Oh man, oh no. My USB SNES pad isn't working...still, no biggie. The aesthetic of the game is so dreamily familiar.

[stefcha]

Oh man, oh no. My USB SNES pad isn't working...

Any idea where I could pick up this holy grail of PC gamepads? Been looking for one for ages.

[R0b]

Not really, I've had it for years.

[zektbach]

The music when you first leave the house think I could quite happily listen to it forever, the little guitar bits are so nice.

Thank god for that! I have just ordered an EZ for this

[Flub]

If you're using a Supercard CF (And probably the other supercards too) you're going to have to sram patch it with gbata before it'll let you save.

[Blu3Flame]

Right, just waiting for it to be written into the NOR memory. *stares madly at his GBMicro screen*

EDIT: ....

EDIT 2: .... Oh man.

EDIT 3: .... And it's done, at least I now it's on the NOR ram I won't have to wait for it to load ever again.

[zektbach]

God this game really does have one of the most amazing soundtracks ever.

[revlob]

Will hopefully be popping this on my EeePC when I get home.

[HarMGM]

Thanks for the tips.

Now then, can anybody explain to me wehn the hell they explain the basics of that rythem combat to you?

[Blu3Flame]

Oh my.

[zektbach]

I don't think it is actually explained in game... you just need to listen to the rhythm of the music. If you put an enemy to sleep the rhythm becomes more apparent, you'll get a battle log in Chapter 2 that lets you re-fight any enemy you've come across so you can practice then.

[Blu3Flame]

Woo, got it working on my Micro perfectly.
