ya so with me see its way to complicated too many files try putting all the files in seperate forms such as .nds, .gba.nds ect ect it would be easyer for us if it was alot simpler so think about that on your updates see i want to try this game but it wont let me take into consideration what im saying k. it would help me and all the max media dock players ty for reading

HELP pPL PLX

[MeowTheMouse]

amazing..

[Mike-7]

Does this work on Games N Music

I couldent Find a MMD at any walmart.


I CHECKED 5 STORES

[elgoog]

Im using supercard slot 2 and I did this:

copied zip files as they were into the root of the card (no dldi patched at all)

then ran

worked great

if this helps anyone having troubles then good, i also think that some people could try having it all in the root, i think if you put it in a sub directory it tends to get confused

[Mike-7]

hey i'm using the GNM and have a mac am i totally screwed when it comes to playing this game?
HELF!!

[DanTheManMS]

Not really, no. You just need to get a DLDI patcher for the Mac, and after that you shouldn't have any issues.

[XFD]

Ignore that. That's the answer I had heard, but it does not work.

However, I have a solution! Listen up. This is how to make WTD work on your MMD.

Download menu 1.0. It's right on these forums. (I have minor issues with 1.1, but you can try that too, it should work.) Menu 1.0 will boot this correctly, no need to name it "bootme" or anything.

Download Tower Defense. Go to the FAT version and patch the normal one (aka not the .sc or w/e one). Move it to the root of your card. Make a file in your root called "maps". Move all your maps from their current folder into there. Now you can delete the original wtd folder.

Simply start menu, launch WTD, hit single player, and the maps should be there if you put them in the right directory.

I feel special, no one's been able to figure it out. :P

[DaveCage]

works very well quite a good game, thanks keep up the good work

[ubersk8kid]

nice game. I think there should be a difficulty setting, I haven't beaten a single map (I suck)
