Thanks Xenophobia for releasing this ROM. This works as a charm for me and I hope it does for you guys aswell, if it works for you then please spread the word to stop people downloading fucked up versions that work partially. Enjoy this brilliant game with Wi-Fi, Multiplayer and everything else working Enable cheatswitch, enable the 'Save bypass' cheat Pick the cheat database matching your card there, they have everything lol. This freeze just happens on most cards (not on the Cyclo methinks) and you need this cheat to force your card to pass it, patching it up fixes this but fucks up other parts, this doesn't ActionReplay cheat database for your card, all recent cheat dbs () contain the cheat 'Save bypass' for #3517 which gets the untouched version past the 'zomg it freezes at saveselect'.
United States version of the game (#3517, released by Xenophobia), direct download from Romulation, no fucked up ARM patched versions that crawl around on YouTube, you'll need the CLEAN and UNTOUCHED #3517 rom. If you want this game to work 100% on your flashcard with no random freezes, missing features or wutever, follow the steps below. I'm at ~50% in the game now and it works as a charm. (Pissed off) I tried the original version of the game (United States, (U)), renamed my savefiles (savefiles for E and U are universal ), and used same ActionReplay cheat: no save freeze, multiplayer + Wi-Fi 100% and flamethrower working. Then I downloaded the original version of the game (Europe, (E), #3538) and used the ActionReplay cheat for getting through the save freeze: all working, so I played the game and during the mission 'Cash and Burn' I found out that it froze when you used a flamethrower. Original European version + savebypass cheat: Patched and 'fully working version's advertised on YouTube:įirst I downloaded some 121MB version of the game which was 'patched' with an ARM fix and hardcoded cheats, it passed the saving freeze and everything else appeared to work fine BUT multiplayer modes other than LC survivor made it freeze up during the 'Countdown'.
That's what I experienced and this is how I tackled it. Well you might be playing a GTA: Chinatown Wars rom now and think it's all working fine, but if you have a 'patched' or 'fixed' version demonstrated on YouTube, it's likely that you'll get bitten in the ass after a while.Īll the ARM patched versions etc appear to work on first sight ("wow save freezes not anymore!") but have 'hidden issues' like Multiplayer partially not working, Wi-Fi freezes up, game freezes ALWAYS at some occassions etc. (Wi-fi, multiplayer, no freezes at random points etc)
It became available on PlayStation Portable on October 20th 2009 with upscaled widescreen graphics. It was released for the DS in North America on March 17, 2009, and Main Europe. I own a M3 Real card and this game works 100% for me now. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is a Rockstar Leeds game for the Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, and Apple iOS ( iPhone/iPod Touch / iPad ). GTA Chinatown Wars on your DS flashcard: 100% working with no issues AT ALLįirst of all, I'm posting this because I hope it clears up all the vagueness around getting GTA: Chinatown Wars rom to work.
