Play Zelda: Phantom Hourglass with D-Pad (No Stylus)*

phantom hourglass no stylus

*Note this is used to patch the ZeldaTP ROM (which is illegal) and not hosted here and dont’ ask where to get it either.

The patch of right now works, but there are some things that can be improved.

The A,B,X,Y buttons don’t let you attack. You still have to use the stylus with your right hand. Also, because the D-pad is used for movement, I’m not sure if you can get your map down to the bottom screen to write notes on it.
(Forum Member at GBAtemp.net confirmed this).

The patch is being updated, so we’re likely to see full use of L,R,A,B,X,Y.

Stay tuned to this thread for the latest testing opinions.

    Interesting. But I love the stylus play.

    Hey lets encourage people to pirate games and thus make Nintendo loose loads of money!

    Anyway the stylus is the only way to really play the game, how else could you use the boomerang etc?

      Like you did in the olden days before touch screen. try getting a SNES and ALttP. was way better than these games and it was 16 bit

    @Quiche_on_a_leash:
    It’s only a news story. It doesn’t provide ROM links or anything, and it’s not like you can just donwload an emulator and ROM and try it out. You need special hardware, and the people that already have the hardware, have probably already pirated the game.

      You don’t know what you are talking about, and if you don’t know what you are talking about then don’t leave comments in confidence as if you do know, you make yourself look stupid, never make a comment about anything unless you are 100% sure. Owned and you need to learn something.

    Well this would be nice since when you try to let someone watch you really can’t becouse your hand gets in the Way.
