Meteor Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Congratulations on correcting your mistake. I took my time when I saw you didn't need it, but I made a video anyway if anyone else wanted to see it: Edited January 11, 2010 by Meteor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quanchino Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Wow, after a few trials, I've decided that clock abuse is even easier with DSi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4in1 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Wow, after a few trials, I've decided that clock abuse is even easier with DSi. How so? Is there larger room for error? Do the same times work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quanchino Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) How so? Is there larger room for error? Do the same times work? Yes. The same times are applicable. But the reason I've said DSi is better mainly bc of the reset button, which requires less actions than the usual: b, b, a + turn ds on. Also, you don't need to remove or insert cart during the entire process. For the DSi, all you need to do is: 1) Enter the correct time. 2) As soon as the confirm window disappear, press reset 3) Enter game Thats it!

Meteor Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) You don't have to remove the cartridge from the DS Lite, either. Anyway, thanks for your research! Edited February 2, 2010 by Meteor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quanchino Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 You don't have to remove the cartridge from the DS Lite, either. Anyway, thanks for your research! You're right! DS Lite menu is accessible by holding start, and all along I was removing/inserting my cart. :o But people have been complaining in the past that clock abuse is not possible with DSi, but in fact it is easier. Less actions = lower margin of error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 That information has been in the tutorial since the day I posted it! XP I definitely wasn't debating it being easier. I'm just glad you found a reliable way to reset the clock on the DSi, since that's what most people will be buying in the future. Once I borrow my brother's to verify the timing, I'll add it into the main post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatari Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yes. The same times are applicable.

Yay, someone figured out the DSi, now I actually might stand a chance against the evil hackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Quan, I can't get your method to work. The DSi menus are not static, for one thing. Also it's not exactly clear when to push the reset button. On another note, I found some interesting times for Cleric Abel, but I haven't had time to test them on anyone else. 09-28-2009 00:00 +5, not Mag (This is a +6 as a Bishop) 09-28-2009 00:01 +5, not Lck 09-28-2009 02:57 +5, not Skl Edited February 16, 2010 by Meteor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quanchino Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Oh wow, thank you so much. You've stumbled upon something incredible with that last time Meteor. In fact I've been searching for it for so long LOL. It gave my Merric + Def too. Yikes!! Oh yea, the first time has a +res of 2%. I accidentally used it on Marth. but I'm not sure how this is gonna be useful though lol. Just interesting, thats all.

Meteor Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Why is that so incredible, if you don't mind me asking? I narrowed down the growths from above (for 09-28-2009) a little bit. The bold ones are my assumptions based on what you have found; are they correct? 00:00 [30, ?, 25. 40, 60, 25, ?, 2] 00:01 [30, ?, 15, 40, 20, ?, ?, 20] 01:41 [30, ?, 15, ?, ?, 25, ?, 35] 02:57 [45, ?, 15, 50, 20, 25, 10, 20] Uber late edit: Did some testing with Boah. 00:00 [30, ?, 25. 20, 60, 20, ?, 10] 00:01 [20, ?, 15, 40, 20, ?, ?, 10] 01:41 [20, ?, 15, ?, ?, 20, ?, 35] 02:57 [45, ?, 15, 50, 20, 20, 10, 20] Edited March 19, 2010 by Meteor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatari Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 how exactly do you guys find these times? Are dates playing any part here or just times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 I use a mapsave right before I'm about to level up and then set the clock to 00:00 of some arbitrary date. Then I resume, level up, record the time if it gives exceptional stats, increment the clock by one minute, and repeat. The date for those previous 4 times is 09-28-2009. They are the same times from a few posts up where I stated it explicitly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatari Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) ah, that must take a while, but sounds interesting to do ^_^. Yes, I don't usually mind doing that type of repetitive mundane work...it's somehow calming and fun to discover what works and what does. I wonder if you can break a DS by doing that though...all that resetting and such... Edited February 19, 2010 by Hatari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4in1 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) I wonder if you can break a DS by doing that though...all that resetting and such... Well, when I first started with this Clock Abusing business, there were a few times where after flipping the power switch, the power light would come on, but the screens would remain blank... (Then, it'd be fine after turning it off and on again.) It hasn't happened for a while recently, but...I don't know, exploit at your own risk, I guess?

Yes, I don't usually mind doing that type of repetitive mundane work...it's somehow calming and fun to discover what works and what does. It's very mundane, but I try to multitask, like watching TV or sitting in a lecture at the same time.

(Then, it'd be fine after turning it off and on again.) It hasn't happened for a while recently, but...I don't know, exploit at your own risk, I guess? Maybe it's because the DS was trying to shut itself off, and you were hitting the power button at the same time. If your timing was just right, I could see it being confused whether it was supposed to turn on or off. I personally haven't had any bad experiences.

Hatari Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) I might have found some, I'll PM them to you later so you can check them out Meteor. I tested it 5 times, 1 time Cain got +4, 2x Cain got +6 (all, not mag/res), 2x Cain got +0. Another one: 4+ for frey x2, +2 for frey x2. Is this dynamic growth's playing around here? Yeah DSi's are kinda weird. Power is to return to the main menu (if you just tap it quick), if you hold it for a second or two, it's power off... When does the clock get set? (when you enter the game or when you select the file to continue playing?) Edited February 20, 2010 by Hatari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Possibly. Were you killing the same enemy every time? My guess would be that you aren't timing precisely enough. As soon as the game itself starts, before you even get to the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatari Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 yep it's the boss...just damaging, not killing. I suppose if he hits back or doesn't hit back matters, as does the critical hit... Chapter 2...where you get castor :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 The first post explains what matters. In short: the current method only works if you attack (and hit) once without taking a counterattack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatari Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 ack, sorry meteor, I need to re-read everything then on the front page. Don't mean to make you constantly repeat yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quanchino Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) ack, sorry meteor, I need to re-read everything then on the front page. Don't mean to make you constantly repeat yourself. If you're having trouble with DSi, then you should check out these videos I've made: Just follow everything that I did up to the point where I enter the game, or b4 the IS logo shows up. The timing has to be precise. Remember that you need to be as close to 99 % exp as possible. And you are only allowed to attack once before gaining a level up.

Hatari Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) yeah, I'm messing up the timing. Cain/Frey are one hit away from level up (but they can get countered). Abel/Gordin are two or so...so I guess, I'll have to reset the clock for them. Edited February 20, 2010 by Hatari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can not get countered, you have to be in a position where you're not receiving a hit or your target dies in that one blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
