「ASH: アルカイク　シールド　ヒート」

Archaic Sealed Heat TRANSLATED (since 2010)


Leak of Psycoblaster's translation (gbatemp),
completion status unknown, but assumed to be 100%.
Previously distributed, but I decided to blow the lid on this one.
Get it here. You'll need Xdelta to use it. Google it, download it,
read on how to use it. Or get a GUI so you just click and browse.
Password removed. It does have a few wonky parts,
like a few panels in the tutorial have text missing, and some non-translated screens.

PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE. Download it for yourself, but don't
go around posting it somewhere else. I don't wanna get flak from
tempers.

(^0^)ノ~♥ FOR NINTENDO DS/DSL/DSi PLAYERS! ヽ(^o^)/　​

Welcome to my thread!

We now have quite a number of very-active posters and we're still growing! And if you are looking for rivals/trademates/partymates/monomates/coffeemates, or have any questions involving any of Nintendo's sweetest portable console, feel free to ask them right around here. Or if you just wanna talk about some game that drove you crazy (like Rhythm Heaven, or Air Traffic Chaos, or 999), this should be the perfect thread for you to rant about how you're tearing your hair out in frustration but crying tears of joy 'coz you've never been this addictedly driven insane by any game before. It'll probably be a mess, but it'll be fun as heck. Hehe.

Oh yeah, for flashcart users, i still highly recommend you to NOT buy anything R4 or DSTT, or any of their clones. Go for Acekard variants, Supercard variants (slot1), or EDGE. R4 is dead, face it people. the only ones around pushing for compatibility fixes are few and far between, and pretty soon they'll all get tired doing it anyway.[/s] please, go get a better, newer card. invest. you will not be disappointed, i promise you.


ENJOY!

EDIT:
I've uploaded some .DPG videos (mediafire). Unfortunately, my upload speed is miserably slow, so it'll take me some time. Just feel free to follow the link and take it from there.

Summer Wars

Another one of my favorite anime films, I'm putting this title
up there with 5 Centimeters Per Second, Sky Crawlers and
Ghibli films.Part 1

Part 2
It's RAR'd, so you need both parts to extract the movie.


FLCL[MF]

Also known as Fooly Cooly, or Furi Kuri.
6 Episodes of pure kwela, outrageous characters,
and over-the-top innuendos and pop culture
references! And the soundtrack is pure
Jrock goodness, courtesy of The Pillows!
The conversion looks a bit drab though,
nangangapa ulit kasi ako sa conversions eh.
screenies:

Detroit Metal City (live action, eng subs)[MF]

Sobrang kulit neto, promise. Pero sulit sya panoorin, ahaha.

Detroit Metal City with Eng subs.part1.rar (95.37MB)
Detroit Metal City with Eng subs.part2.rar (95.37MB)
Detroit Metal City with Eng subs.part3.rar (72.95MB)



Sekirei [MF] (12 episodes+OVA)
password: chihiro

screenies:

oh yeah, i apologize for the subtitle size. it's hardcoded, so there's no way for me to adjust the subtitle size before encoding, hehe. anyways, it's legible, you just have to squint a bit. i'll probably try to resize what i can, if i can, heh.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
(時をかける少女) [MF]
This is the story of Makoto, a girl who acquires the ability to jump through time, literally. Beautifully animated, and masterful voice acting. If you find this title anywhere (on DVD, BluRay), it's a must-buy.

screenies:

I finally was able to resize the subs! yay!


PONYO [MF]
Studio Ghibli

It's about a mermaid/goldfish who falls for a human boy. Very dynamic movie, and it's visually stunning as well.
Upload done! Audio fixed and much audible now. However, the audio disappears from 4:30 to slightly before 7:00, but that's because the audio is literally flat from that part--like it's stripped off or something. So yes, it is purposely silent on that part, but that part only.

screenies:

Kamen no MAID GUY[MF] (仮面のメイドガイ)
(12 episodes)

sample screenie:

as you can see, it's crazy crazy crazy, semi-ecchi, but more of a comedy fanservice anime than anything else. also, Studio MADHOUSE did this, the same studio that did The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. i'm enjoying the series a lot, so should you.


Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens[MF]
(14 episodes)

Nagi is a goddess who emerges from a wooden sculpture made out of sacred wood, sculpted by Jin Mikuriya. After that, they have lots and lots of crazy, sweaty, hot hot... exorcism fights. Okay, kidding about the sweaty part.

screenies:
coming soon!


Genius Party Beyond [MF]
(Studio 4°C)(6 Episodes)
A collection of short animated features.

screenies:
coming soon!



電車男 Densha Otoko (Train Man) [MF][ep01-08][the rest...soon!]
True-to-life love story of an otaku and a rich girl. It's funny, crazy, sometimes overboard, but very heartwarming at it's core. Plus, there's an online community as well, and they're all crazy fun.
Sorry guys, but it seems like I cannot finish this series, which i should have ages ago. For some reason, BatchDPG won't work on Windows7 (i use WinXP in my old setup), and i also seem to have lost my source files for this (pre-converted episode videos, and most importantly, their subtitles). Gomennasai!

screenies:
soon!

[ferofax]

Re: Nintendo DS Thread!

CURRENT HOT TITLES!!!


Pocket Monster Black/White (JP)
Ang pinakabagong generation ng pokemons! super duper pretty battles! err... more pokeymanz trading/battling online i guess? pero in fairness, tanginang intro yan, wahaha. intro pa lang, sulit na sulit na. whew. oh yeah, like HG/SS, ung legit cart nito ay may IR port light-speed trades. like, whoosh, tapos. oh yeah, most of the story actually happened in Isshu. SRSLY.

Dragon Quest XI Sentinel of the Starry Skies
super duper highly-customizable turn-based RPG! magsawa kau sa skill trees at sa pag grind for rare equips/loots dito! ^_^

Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey
first-person dungeon crawler RPG. still a super recommended title. ^_^

Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
sa mga naghihintay ng US version ng Black/White, magtyaga muna kau dito. well, not really, kasi malamang mag-eenjoy naman kau eh, ahaha.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
More of Mr. Layton and Luke's crazy brain-damaging puzzles. have tissue (or tampons) ready. your nose will be bleeding nonstop (and not because of ecchi stuff ha!)

Etrian Oddyssey III: The Drowned City
The third installment in the uberly-hard-but-definitely-satisfying first-person dungeon crawler. definitely not for the casual gamer. sub-class feature lets you learn skills from a SECOND class. sweet. and you get to play as a PIRATE. arr. either make a crew form One Piece, or go apeshit as Jack Sparrer. yep, accent yan. ^_^

*disclaimer: this is a D.I.Y. (do it yourself, download it yourself, and so on...) list of suggested games to play. i can't really be bothered to post links for you, but that doesn't mean you can't ask. so ask away. i don't discourage asking, but i encourage looking first.

Re: Nintendo DS Thread!

r4 is old, there's a lot of other flashcarts that works so much better than that right now: EDGE, DSTT, and the Supercard variants.

you can get them online, try looking for local buy and sells, or you can try the local gaming stores (circuit city, tv games, etc...). i think circuit city in sm megamall carries EDGE, but the price is overkill: around 3k, give or take a few quids. comes bundled with a kingston 1gb microSD card though.

>>ganun ba?
sige thanks pre..

pano poh makapaglaro ng gba sa NDS pacenxia na poh newbie lang

 

[woyzz128]

Re: Nintendo DS Thread!

pano poh makapaglaro ng gba sa NDS pacenxia na poh newbie lang

Anong FlashCart po gamit nila?

 

[ferofax]

Re: Nintendo DS Thread!

pano poh makapaglaro ng gba sa NDS pacenxia na poh newbie lang

2 ways:

1. slap a gba cart sa slot2, which is fairly obvious.

2. slap a flash cart sa slot2. which means your flash cart has to be the slot2 type.

sorry, as of yet, there's absolutely no way to run gba games from slot1 flash carts. i myself would like to play a few gba games, but my flash cart is edge, a slot1 type.

oh and, just for the sake of clarity, slot1 is the DS cart's slot, while slot2 is the GBA slot.


@JENG: usually you just need to slap your microSD to your PC (it's all a matter of preference as to how), and you just copy paste the .nds file (that's the game rom. extract it if you have to) anywhere in your microSD (although putting them in folders do wonders. not sure if some brands require them to be in a certain folder, but i'm pretty sure most dont).

as a side note, i'm currently enjoying these games right now:

Mario Party (I LOVE PARTY GAMES!!! especially with booze!)
Mario Kart (it's cute, but if you've played online, very very challenging!)
Rune Factory (always been a Harvest Moon fan)
Dementium (for late night gaming...)
Settlers (it's just like an ant farm. except maybe a bit smarter)

Had Pokemon Pearl, but so far it's been on the backburner since i got my flash cart (those expensive EDGE brands).

Re: Nintendo DS Thread!

ask ko lng po. magkano po ba ang brand new Nintendo DS Lite na orig? at san po makakabili na malapit sa rizal mandaluyong manila? nagtatanong po kasi ung friend ko.

po sa tutulong

 

[ferofax]

Re: Nintendo DS Thread!

not sure eh. look around the malls, they're generally not that high na, and most are already bundled. kung may budget sya pang PSP, can afford n nya DS, which is a bit cheaper.
