5355 Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors error

[TheGaboefects]

Your console: 3DS XL

Actual Behavior: Game always randomly crashes during the first point and click section of the game rendering it unplayable.

What version are you running it on? Have you tried turning heap shrink off or changing any of the per-game settings?

[SleepyLark]

So I was able to beat the first puzzle on my New 3DS just fine, was there a specific area or way to reproduce the crash?

this sounds like the anti-piracy protection

Probably is, I remember I manually AP patched it a while back (before auto-patching was a thing)

[SleepyLark]

Did you ever try using an Anti-piracy patch? I'm pretty sure that will fix it

[scj643]

I can confirm that this is an anti piracy issue as I have ran into this issue before on my 3DS.

Does this still happen on the latest version?

Since this bug is still open, I'm going to report my experiences here. I have a fan-translated Japanese ROM of this game (NTR-BSKJ-JPN). Launching this ROM from TWLmenu++ shows the AP patch notification screen, but the game still crashes in escape sections.

DSi LL 1.4J with Unlaunch v2.0, TWLmenu v21.4.0, nds-bootstrap v0.46.2

Does this still happen on the latest version of TWiLight Menu++ and nds-bootstrap?

[RocketRobz]

Haven't encountered this issue lately, so I don't think so.

Still suffering from the same problem, gonna try with AP, I'll let you know.
