is your ds a original ds, if soo newer ds games may not work propley on it, apart from that it a faluty game, send it back all i can say

Tried it on my daughters dsi and my 3ds. Ive heard alot of crap goin on abour AR codes ruining save files online. Im not sure why its doing it. Just got it in the mail today. I can play the game just cant save without getting an error.

Like Stevie said, it must be just a faulty game. Take it back for a refund/replacement

 

[Steve-O]

from what your saying it a faluty card, just send it back for a refund/replacment, the save memory must of got corrupted at some point

I think i bought a pirated copy of the game. All my ds games have grey cases and have patent pending markings along with Model No. This case is dark black and has no patent pending or model no on it it also doesnt shut well and the inside looks terrible as far as the ds logo goes and the logo is slightly bigger than the others. So yeah and the game give me slight trouble when putting it in like its slightly to big. Thanks for the help though.

Theres also a space in the word Interactions on the cover like this Intra ctions and it says it came out in 2009 but was licensced by nintendo in 2008 and theres lots of smaller things that i noticed. I got dupped and sending it back.

That does sound indeed suspicious. I was about to say it could be a region-lock issue or something, but you should always be careful to know you're getting an official copy. It may sound offensive or discriminating, but I don't always trust buying games or technological items from eBay stores located in China or Malaysia. (Especially when they're selling the things like they're bulk for a cheap cheap price)

Umm may I know what game is this? I need to move it to the correct subforum if it isn't an FF game. Thanks =)

 

[timthebigone]

Hold on what is the game you bought? Cause I was looking around seeing what game you bought, but I couldn't find where you posted it.

Oh by the way this game i ordered was FF CC: EoT sorry i did not post that and i found way more things that proved it a pirate the cartridge is slightly larger hence the weird feeling putting it in. The glue holding it together that i noticed on the bottom of the game. The nintendo logo on the back was bigger than any ds game i own. Theres numbers on the real games on the back of the cartridge where the game actually connects with the system to play that arent there and the serial number on the back of the game is so faded its almost gone you guys should really see this. If i can post pics on here tomorrow i will. Oh and the cover of the game box is shotty the picture looks like its missing some colors like the printer wasnt good enough or didnt have the right colors to do the actual cover and in the corner where it says online interactions not rated by the esrb there is a space in the word Ineraction like this: Intera ction. lol and this was sold to me by a company in South Carolina that buys used goods so obviously someone bout this from A dealer in china or hong kong from ebay and sold it to a company that buys used goods be that localy for them or not.

We do all know that S-E made it impossible to play this game and save your game Pirated without an AR code so from all the evidence i found i can say for sure its pirated and im not emulating this. This is on my 3ds and dsi.

mmmm I dont think it matters if the case is black cause I bought pokemon SoulSliver from walmart and it had a black case, and it does feel kinda big when I put it in the ds, but it runs fine. but here is a picture of my soulsliver and tell me if it looks like your game. (sorry this is the best picture I could take hope this helps)

Nah somthing that you get from walmart will be legit the pirated games are usally sold on ebay from china or hong kong. The company i got mine from was a used goods dealer that just so happen to buy the pirate copy from someone else who bought the copy. See the game works but S-E removed the ability to save your game on a pirate copy so yeah. Plus you can see the green part of the memory card on the back with the gold strips attached to it and you should be able to clearly see a series of letters and numbers and maybe a symbol where as the Pirated copy will say nintendo 114-11 on the green part of the card. Heres a pic the one on the left is a fake you can see the nintendo logo is not aligned with the one on the right as well as the patent pending being to thick and larger than the one on the right and then at the bottom on the card on the left in the green its printed Nintendo 114-11 and on the right its printed a serious of numbers and letters. The one on the right is a legitimate copy and this should look this way and the one on the left is a fraud copy.

Well they look the same beside some differents, but what if the one you got was from a different country, just saying cause my friend give me his Mario kart ds which was from Peru Rico and it worked fine, then later it wouldn't save at all then I couldn't even play it anymore. Then I asked my friend what was wrong with it, but he said it worked fine before he gave it to me. But i really dont know all these things, im just trying to help out a fellow FFF member, Well hope my information helped you out a bit.
