Dark Scimitar

[iamstillhiro1112]

For those who don't know, this thing was found in PSX version. But was not equippable. If you go here you can find codes to equip it. http://www.thegshi.org

So, what do you all think, is it the same as the Sega CD version?

[Alunissage]

Have you yourself tried this code? AFAIK the only reference in EBC to the Dark Scimitar is Bromide X, as the description of the first code mentions. I'm pretty sure by now we would have heard if there were an actual item in the game data named the DS. There were some interim names for items I remember seeing hacked from the demo and I think I would have remembered that one if it were there.

Wait, wasn't there something about a Lemina Bug that broke the game and allowed you to see a picture of the DS? Or was it something completely different? Please forgive my sucky memory!

[iamstillhiro1112]

Yes, I tried the code, and it does work. My little bro played thru most the game with it in hand. The weapon only works while you have the codes activated tho. Otherwise it will crash when you attack.

If you only want to see the Dark scimitar in PSX version use the have dark scimitar codes. But to equip them you will need the rest.

PGJ, that was in the SegaCD game only, not EBC.

I'm such a dummy! I completely forgot that I was in the EBC section ^^; Anyhow, there's another thread about the DS where the Lemina Bug was explained, I don't know why I associated it with the DS though ^^;

Yes it does. I'm still suprised noone seems to have tried it tho. It's something that should go on the main site. Try it on a real playstation. ESPSXE is real picky about using gameshark.

[Erroneous]

It's something that should go on the main site.

Its mainly because there's no visual evidence of this actually working out. More the fact it could cause to crashing of the game while in attempt to making it work.

[GhaleonOne]

Yeah, if I have a way to test it out, or someone has visual evidence of it, I'd be willing to put this on the site, but this is the first I've ever heard of the Dark Scimitar being in EBC outside of being pictured in the Bromide X.

[iamstillhiro1112]

I imagine you already have Lunar 2 and a playstation, all you need is a digital camera and a gamesharik. You can get gameskars pretty cheap, probably on e-bay, I dont know their current going rate but it can't be much. 20, 30 bux.

[GhaleonOne]

20-30 that I don't have right now. Do any of the emulators have a built in GameShark? I can capture a screenshot that way much easier.

You're absolutely right! As soon as you get a gameshark, be sure to post up a picture of the screen when you enter the code and it freezes. KF

[GhaleonOne]

I couldn't get it to work via VGS, and don't have time to fiddle with it anymore. If someone can take a screengrab of it, I'd be willing to put it on the site, but otherwise, I need proof.

[Silentcrisis]

ill do it this sunday for u guys i have gs and the game

g1 howed u get ur sig pic to show up iv been using image shack and it will not work for me

[iamstillhiro1112]

Im not sure how the time delay feature in the code works. I think it like, you cant equip the dark scimitar right away, so start the game, then wait maybe a minute, then you can equip it and use it in the battle. But yeah, it will be cool to see this somewhere on the internet somewhere, I'm still suprised this info isn't more widespread.

[Silentcrisis]

might not test this till monday cuz my friend has my gameshark

[Mr_conan]

Waking up this long-dead thread. Was this ever confirmed in the US PSX edition?

While porting the text over to the Saturn, I've decoded the game's item listing and Dark Scimitar is in there. (Its a spare in the saturn of course).

Dark Scimitar
Very powerful killing attack

I haven't tried giving it to a player yet, would need to edit the game script.

[captaindax]

I realize this thread is old but for those interested, via my save game hacking work, I can confirm the following for the USA PSX version:

1. DS Definitely exists in EBC, at least in the code

2. It is not equippable or usable by normal means

3. If you set it as Hiro's equipped weapon it operates the same as if you equipped any other non-weapon (like an Herb). In battle you are the target and the game is stuck in a loop just playing music, showing the generic movement animations and nothing happening.
