Kintenbo Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Whenever I try to use Excaliber with one of my mages, it just glitches up with jibberish and the character disappears. Is there something wrong with the emulator (I play it off of 1980 games), or is this also a problem in the actual cartridge of the game?

VincentASM Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hmm, I've only heard of a glitch with the Rainarak spell. I can use Excalibur just fine on my Japanese ROM. Where did you get the patch from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentASM Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm guessing the patch they used has an issue with Excalibur. I think I've heard of the problem before, but the Rainarok/Ragnarok glitch is more commonly reported (at least in the past, since it was fixed a long time ago). You'll just have to avoid using tbe spell. At least it's better than the Rainarok glitch, because that froze your game just by viewing the spell name >____< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think I know that site. I recommend you download a NES emulator and a Gaiden ROM with the English patch. You can get the patch dependant on if you want the game to be Japanese or not (duh <_<). Why? Because using an emulator is less glitchy. I've encountered quite some glitches when I was playing the game on that site, and I was never able to save my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I better just have the mages that learn Excaliber to just stick to thunder when I use them to attack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwolf_UK Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The patch with the excalibur bug was put out something like December 25th 1999...they released a fix shortly after in December 31st 1999. But Ragnarok had the same bug sadly...I fixed that though. It is for this reason and this reason alone that prepatched ROMs should be avoided at all costs (you have no way of verifying which version of the patch they used).

Knife Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Does it affect the battle in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 ... Did you read the thread? It's pretty obvious what happens ._. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintenbo Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well, I decided that I might as well just use May and Dute to attack, since they didn't learn the spell. Cliff had high defense, so I let him either use thunder, or be counterattacked. It doesn't matter now, I beat the game. Feel free to lock or whatever.
