Change notes
- Updated dialogue with Gus and Gale
- Fixed a few spelling mistakes (addage -> adage, apologise -> apologize)
- Fixed Gale's introductory text implying you have already turned the ventilation valve
- Fixed save data sometimes not correctly tracking the state of the game
- Improved the stability of the game ending logic
- Added a failsafe dialogue state check before end-of-day dialogue on Day 5
- The game will now forcibly defrag the VRAM sprite buffers before displaying the End Screen
- The game will now award the "Completed Story Mode" mineral achievement before displaying the End Screen
- Fixed a bug where the mineral selection sound effect on Hank's Minerals screen would play multiple times, would still play if a mineral was not selected, and would also still play if the same mineral was selected
- Added sound effects to the "cracking" minigame; the "pestle hit" effect will now also play when a critical hit/golden hammer hit is landed on a section or crystal of methamphetamine product
Playing
For the absolute best experience, pop the ROM on a flashcart and enjoy!
On an Emulator
But if you're not as bothered as Walter is about doing things with the proper gear, melonDS is the recommended emulator for play due to its accuracy and performance. Alternatively, the latest release of DeSmuME is slightly easier to setup and supports emulating rumble.
To run this on melonDS, you'll need to go into the Emulator Config -> DLDI -> Enable DLDI, since this uses the homebrew nitrofile system. I recommend the Software video emulator for best results to make the models pop, as the OpenGL backend doesn't quite support the DS's hardware-accelerated outlines just yet.
On a modded DSi/3DS
You can also run this on a modded DSi or 3DS with Twilight Menu++ (other game loaders have not been tested). You can download the game ROM by scanning the QR code below in your loader's menu, if your system supports this. Please make sure you use v1.0.3+, or your game may crash on startup!
Unsupported platforms
This won't work on the Wii U Virtual Console emulator. I'm sorry to ruin your dreams. If you run this on a cool setup, take a picture and email me.
