VNDS freezes for me when I hit L+R+Start to go back to the select screen. I have a SuperCard SD, and I patched it with the DLDI patch. Everything seems to be working fine except for this freeze. Sure, to choose a different game, all I have to do is reset the DS, but isn't that what L+R+Start is for?
wait for version v1.2.8, if it does ever exist.
I really need to get back to fixing shit.
With the R4DS and Fat DS, it turns the backlight off automatically. Not a major problem, but I thought I'd report some other bugs with L+R+Start.
Hi,
I have an M3 DS Real. My VNDS loads fine.
Also I am able to play the Fate/Stay & OMGFWTFOTL VNs just fine.
My problem is with the Tsukihime VN.
When I try to play it, the usual Loading message comes for a second & then both screens just go 'blank'. Nothing happens if I touch the touch-screen or hit any of the buttons.
I am using the latest version of vnds - 1.3.7 & Tsukihime (with sound) - 0.1.9. I noticed that the Tsukihime VN was completed before version 1.3.1 of vnds, so could it be related to the save-file issue? Also my save folder is currently empty, could that be a problem?
i used to be able to use vnds fine on my r4, i didn't have to patch it or do anything special at all but i recently updated my r4 firmware and now it just flashes white and then goes black. and i don't want to go back to my old r4 firmware cuz then i wouldn't be able to play pokemon platinum, disgaea ds, and other games
what should i do?

I'm running with v1.18 firmware.
The installation is probably damaged in some way -- a clean install should fix the problem.
thanks, it works perfectly again
In the sound directory of Fate/Stay Night v1.0, several files are named the exact same, save for capitalization. This causes Windows to register as the same, and only allow one in the folder, which is pretty annoying. Any chance of fixing this?
It seems 23 files are affected by this:
`jake@localhost ~/projects/vnds/novels/fate $ ls sound | wc
28466 28467 654726
jake@localhost ~/projects/vnds/novels/fate $ ls sound | uniq -i | wc
28443 28443 654175`
as for a fix, no idea, I may have just ended up repacking it wrong and they`re duplicates anyway.

The sound files should normally be contained in ZIP files. And even when using the installer, these files never hit the filesystem.
The DS is (possibly) also case-insensitive, so the files need to be zipped or renamed so the names are unique even when ignoring case.
I believe there's a registry key to make the filesystem case-sensitive. You can temporarily enable this and put the files in an uncompressed ZIP archive.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel]
change obcaseinsensitive to 0
Just finished a playthrough of Fate.
The following bugs are present :
" 'I stuck my hard spoon into Saber's warm soup. As I stiTohsaka looked at me with a weird look'
'Tohsaka looked at me with a weird look.' "
AnoNL, do you have any plans to port UBW? It would be awesome if you could somehow do that as well.
anoNL: You are made of win. That is all.
Well, that and you gave me the info about zips. I wasn't loading them into the zip file on the non-compression mode, I was using the default compression setting. Thank you. Again.
well, it seems I need to upload the original sound.zip instead of the repackaged one.
I managed to put background/ foreground/ script/ sounds/ (repack sounds/ on a unix vm to solve case sensitive file name) in separate zip files. ^___^
Am I missing something.. is there no background music? I saw references to .mp3 in the script files (e.g. special/title.mp3) but I cannot find it the sounds tar file. Correct me if I miss any previous post. Thanks.

Don't put .mp3 in zip file
The download for FSN on the VNDS site is different to the >>39 rapidshare download, the rapidshare one has the files pre-zipped and music. You might want to put the rapidshare link there.
Guide on how to get Fate/Stay Night working with sound and background music.
I'm assuming you know how to get files out of .7z and .tar.gz files, WinRAR should do it fine if you have it already.
1: Download http://rapidshare.com/files/160619893/FateDS-1.0-unvoiced.7z
2: Download http://digital-haze.net/files/vnds/novels/fate/fate-sound.tar.gz
3: Make a folder called "Fate" and then open FateDS-1.0-unvoiced.7z, inside will be a folder called "base_install", go into it.
4: Get the files called "background.zip, foreground.zip, script.zip, default.ttf, icon.png, info.txt, thumbnail.png" and the folders called "save" and "sound" and put them into the "Fate" folder you made earlier.
5: Extract everything out of the file "fate-sound.tar.gz", it get tricky here so read carefully.
About 20 files in this .tar.gz have the same names as others but different casing.
Disregard that, he has the voices and sound on the main page now.
>>51
Instructions did mention that. In my case I can't find any .mp3 file in fate-sound.tar.gz. Only .aac and .wav files exists. I repacked to zip after finding some duplicates under windows.
>>52
I am using fate-1.0.tar.gz. I will try out the 7z. Didn't realize that unvoiced.7z may have mean only voice removed. ^___^
>>53
(6)-(8): Thanks. Is this a workaround for adding files with the same name but different cases under Windows? Using WinRAR 3.71, I test created a zip and then append it again using the folder structure (using dummy file with different content) as below. WinRAR still updates the content though. o__o?
1) fate/sound/ <== In fate/ folder, right click sound/ folder, "Add to sound.zip". Zip the original sound files?
2) fate/fix/sound/ <== Move sound.zip (created above) into fix/, right click sound/, "Add to sound.zip". Zip the duplicate sound files?
A small thing I noticed, is that, in hf05-04.scr, when the script tries to reference the homeroom bell sound, it actually plays what I guess is a train tracks sound instead. Is it possible that there are two sound files named the same? Or perhaps the script is just calling for the wrong file? Thought I'd mention it. After all, it's not like there's anywhere else to say anything about it.
See thread about sound conflicts:

I done all the thing that in the readme, but when I try to run the vnds.nds, it just show me black screen. I have tried to patch DLDI in it, but still black screen, who can help me?
1.choose vnds.nds,patch DLDI,then press START to launch
2.rename vnds.ds.gba to vnds.nds,patch DLDI,then press A to launch
Thank you, it works now!
I use an M3 lite (slot-2) SD, and when I use either of these listed methods, launching the game causes the screen to flash white once, and then go black. No further progress is made. Any thoughts?
Alright, updating the version to 1.3.7 enabled the DLDI patch to make VNDS work, but now it cannot save. Once more, thoughts would be helpful.
I'm going through F/SN v0.9.1 and using VNDSxv1.3.7 I'm having it freeze not on any specific part, but every once in a while before a sound or voice is supposed to be played. Any way to get around this? or is it just me
vndsX 1.3.7x is a beta-test version of vnds before an official 1.3.8. So chances of bugs are present. Its not just you with the problem.
There is a similar thread on this (titled 'vndsX 1.3.7x bugs')
http://digital-haze.net/ch/vnds/kareha.pl/1223434583/l50
I would suggest going back to vnds 1.3.7 & playing for the time-being. Backup your VN save-files before doing this. If FS/N (or any other VN) doesn't seem to load when you go back to 1.3.7, there are 2 solutions: 1)Update back again to vndsX 1.3.7x, or 2)You may have to delete the save file(s) for the non-loading VN.
Just wanted to report on a bug/problem I saw in the intermediary vnds release & which weren't present in vnds1.3.7
When you try to load the VN for Fate/Stay Night v0.9.1, it sometimes hangs on the very first script (with distorted/broken sound) & you don't get to the menu. If you get past that problem, then the Prologue & Game options seem fine (I didn't check beyond the first few screens), however if you select the 'Mou Ikkai' song, then the sound file plays for the song, but the image for the song with the chibi characters doesn't load, you just continue to see the title screen.
The True Remembrance & OMGWTFLOL VNs seemed fine (again didn't check beyond the first few screens).
[For some reason I am unable to load Tsukihime VN, despite the interesting 'save-file creation fix'. But that has it own thread :P]
vnds 1.3.7x? shitfuck I have work to do now.
dammit.
>>1
Mou Ikkai is broken because of the graphics engine rewrite. It's very easy to fix, but I want to wait until mirrormoon translates Heaven's Feel before releasing a new version of FSN.
I have a suspicion as to what causes the crashes early in the game, but I have to do some more testing first. This also happened in 1.3.7 and earlier though, so it's not a new bug.
Hmmm, I am not so sure about it being broken before. In vnds 1.3.7 it seemed to work pretty fine. Just to check I put 1.3.7 into my system & the Mou Ikkai song & the small chibi character dance worked fine. The game also seemed to run fine.
Is there any way I can run vnds with a DSTT, or is it incompatible?
Hey, I'm having problems with loading different novels. When first loading up vnds the top screen appears with the narcissu screens and the bottom screen is blank. I thought you could select the novels? Is that suppose to happen?
Oh yeah I forgot to mention I did everything I was suppose to in the readme. I put all the different Visual novels in the Novels folder with seperate folders for each novel.

Thats a new problem, unfortunately, Im not quite sure how to go about solving it. Ill take a look into it.
Cheers.
Can someone link me to piccys or a video of vnds running. So I can tell whats normal and whats not normal? It would be most appreciated.
Well my bootup screen looks nothing like that. The bottom screen is totally black. Where as for the top screen its black but you can see the two preview pictures.
Problem solved. Suspecting that some of the files maybe corrupt, I redownloaded the program again. And extracted it again. Solved the problem. I can now see the program as seen in the above post.
Ace Program btw. Cheers for the help. And keep up the good work.
I am also using a TTDS and cannot get novels to load, where did 1 download his visual novel files?
I can't start VNDS from my DSTT (8GB SD card formated with FAT32).
Help?
Please help me, playing with no sounds right now
Using NDSLite, DSOne SDHC, placed the mp3 (convert to wav too) files in /vnds/novels/<game folder>/sound/ but didnt work. Please help
when the heavens feel route is translated will there be a patch or something to translate it on VNDS?
AnoNL will probably have a version with HF on it once it comes out.
The problem here is MirrorMoon, god knows what kind of installer they`ll make this time around.
HF translation Progress: 100% (3750/3750kb)
HF editing progress: 100%
probably not long now
