I did a quick test on the original hardware and noticed that Dream Passport was not available (because no RJ45?).
Never connected the poor thing to Internet, I'm not sure how the connection is detected. Is there a way to bypass connection check in 1st_read or elsewhere?
Yes there is. Firstly, I highly suggest you use my modified Dream Passport browser that I shared previously in this thread (if you aren't already). It's fully in English, removes the silly VMU load screen, removes the screensaver, and also allows you to insert a custom icon so that the VMU screen doesn't go blank.

That being said, I will work on removing the ISP settings check. Basically, the console has to have had its ISP settings configured at least once, and stored in flash memory, for the browser to successfully launch. Will post update ASAP.

Okay... inside 1ST_READ.BIN at decimal offset 185160 (0x2D348), change...

Code: Select all

2F D3 32 65
to...

Code: Select all

0B 00 09 00
After this, the ISP settings check function will always return successful.

Original code:

New code, forcing returning 0:

Thanks! I'll give a try.

Did you perhaps get a chance to take a look at the font size of Love Love keywords?

You're welcome.

I took a quick look, but no immediate luck. Haven't spent additional time since then, sorry.

Don't worry, I'll go with easy replacements for now, and I can change later if there's a solution.

Hello everyone,

Version 1.0 beta is available!

https://github.com/dukeblooders/SambaDe ... g/1.0_beta

Feel free to test it and give me a feedback, especially if you find any missing translation, mistake or bug.

Don't worry if you don't have a pair of maracas, the game is totally playable with a controller (you can change the button layout in the options, I recommend it).

If you want to create a CDI, instructions are available on the main page (https://github.com/dukeblooders/SambaDeAmigo2000English).

I'm still looking for help to re-read the integrated website for the final version (remember: you can install DLCs from the site). Info is on the first page of this topic.

Have fun ;)

dukeblooders, since I haven't had time to do any sort of deep comparison, I wanted to ask if there's anything the previous patch achieves/includes that your v1.0 beta does not. I assume, if anything, yours is more complete.

EDIT: Oh shit, I'm an idiot... For some reason I didn't realize that you were the author of the original patch too! This whole time, I thought this was a brand-new effort. Please ignore me...
