FIX FOR AM2R FOR VITA

[omegavile]

Afther 3 days of excrutiating tries, 4 restarts over the game and hours of glitch training i was able to pass the  infamous serris boss jail rom, in wich once you get the ice beam and enter its rooms, it will enter and leave to never come again leaving you in limbo, all you have to do is practice the OUT OF BOUNDS glitch in wich you turn into morph ball and start presing the pause menu like an asshole so the screen stay while you go out of bounds leting you hover to the other side while "out of the screen" and try to enter the rom from the right door, study very hard this two videos i will leave here, the first is how to do the trick, the second is how to to the trick in the serris room, THIS FIXES THE GAME AND MAKES 100% BEATABLE. The question was, does this glitch works on vita? it does but it takes a whie to get it done. i will leave a LINK TO THE GAME AND A SCREENSHOT OF MY GAME IN THE VITA WHILE USING THE ICEBEAM OUTSIDE SERRIS ROOM.

EDIT:Its oficial i have finished the game with 80% of completion and nothing else aside from the previously mentioned serris room had an error wich means a 100% is posible.

EDIT 2: REMEMBER that the glitch must be done from INSIDE the serris room in that dead space between the scene trigger zone to you right and not to far from the door that it close to your  left, if you are having trouble dont despair, practice in your leisure time to get to know the proper rithm of the pause menu button, is not jus presing it as fast as posible but not to fast and not to slow.

IMPORTANT EDIT!!: It feels that the game was deliverately made faulty cuz yet another glitch hapend but i find a fix for this one, once you beat the game and exit it the game will kick you out every time you try to enter in it, the fix is simple and we´ll be using vitashell, enter vitashell and enter the save data of AM2R wich should be usually in this directory ux0/user/00/ inside this file you find two folders one SAVEDATA and another SAVEDATA_BACKUP, first enter in savedata and inside enter the am2r file wich is probably under AMTR01693 Folder, inside you will cut not delete cut both SAV1 and DATA.SAV files and paste then in a secondary file in ux0 folder under any name you wish then get back and enter SAVEDATA_BACKUP folder and inside cut the file with the name AMTR01693_000000768_F0CCBED00.DAT and paste it inside the same folder as the others, afther this enter metroid game and it will let you play as normal, the files will be gone but fear not, start a new game and go save the first save room, not in the ship but in the first save room, then exit the game and enter vitashell again, enter your foder with the files you copy and copy the file with the name SAV1 or SAV2  or SAV3 and paste it in the folder of AM2R´S  SAVEDATA were it use to be along with a file named config.ini, exit and enter the game to se your game is there and will let you play as normal, if this hapens again wich hasnt been the case for me just repeat the steps and continue playing. PLZ tell me any bug you find so i can start working in a  fix for it.

Neat, I may start playing AM2R on vita again if I can figure this part out.

Been holding off as I don't want to get into it, then get cockblocked by the bugs.
(We also don't know if there's anymore bugs beyond Serris though)

Im figthing Omega Metroids right now and so far everything works well aside from the random freze wich cant be fixed with glitchesm but at least with this, the rithm for when you are pressing the star button is quite precise but dont give up, it only takes a while of your time to practice and if you are thinking in having only 1 file then you only have to do it once, i say you try this forst with the morph ball at the beggining of the game, once you get it just start playing and prtepare for serris

Wow, you've been playing!
Thanks, I like that info. I'm ass-deep into Persona 5 right now, but when I'm not home I'll be playing AM2R and practicing the out of bounds

why doesn't mai dump classify this game as malicious software/code/metroid, since it always search for it (haha).  have you tried doom or hexen they've been ported to vita much the same way I would think with no errors.

Lets say this greater chimera dude didnt put those glitches and faults on purpose, then is not a milicius code, is just a glitch inside the game like many other game, since the game was made in game maker and vita has GM suport then is posible that during the port some unseed issues arised afther the port was made, Now lets say they are on purpose, then is the same story, is not a malicius code because it doesnt arm your vita in any way but they trigger during these parts and afect only the save file and the serris room, Either way its good to have find a way around these issues so everyone casn enjoy the game on the go.

 

i have never played hexen before but im TOTALLY playing doom on vita, is just to good

Well ... ... ... ... do you think its possible to patch the save file with the next "in game save location" that takes place immediately after the glitch location.  So you can save your game before that, and then just apply the patch to load your game in the next save location.  Assuming there isn't a crc or anything in the save data that would bunk it.  (using a simple hex editor and comparison, between two save files before and after).  (anything more complicated then that like, like removing the flag that closes the doors would probably not be doable).

roughly how many hours ingame do you have to play to get to the glitch?

Honestly, even with this knowledge, I'm still hesitant to play it as I have to glitch just to proceed, something I never considered myself good at (hence my disdain of ROM hacks that incorporate glitch mechanics for required progression such as Parallel Worlds), but I suppose if it's just the one time, I'll let it slide, and just start a new game when or if an update is released.

i can actually understand that, is pretty stressfull to have to glitch the game just to play it, the thing is i lookd all over the internet for some fix or patch but no seems to be working on one or at least is not anouncing it and the post i encounter that talk about the issue are quite old that why i tried to make functional the only version of the game there s now, i hope all this information became usseles once a new version comes out someday

It is posible to patch the game to make a copy somewere else but the directories for the games in vita must be really precise and making such a patch is far from my knowledge of programing, but i hope someone can make a patch for both problems

 

You can reach serris in abouth 30 minutes if you only go trough all without collecting stuff, the save glitch i hope was a thing only in my sistem but it hapens when you finish the game wich can be around 1:30 hour and a half

Can you provide a save file right after the Serris battle? Cannot get the glitch to work.

Thank you very much for this!

I can provide a save data yes, i mean i think i should be able to since is the same game unless the save only works on the original vita but i really dont think so, so give me some time and i will be posting a save data to everyone to get.

Thank you very much. I think that a save file after Serris will be helpful for a lot of players. It can be a minimum run until that point. Just run through the game.

Looking forward to it

If it helps I could give you a save file right before Serris. Then you wouldn't have to run through the whole game

EDIT: Here's the link to a save file right before Serris:

How is it going? Can you load my save file?

[mattwin001]

I cant seem to get this to work at all. Ive tried all different kinds of speeds and still cant pull it off. How many times would you say you have to smash the start button a second? 

Also on the video it seems the menu starts instantly when the start button is pressed. My vita takes almost a second or two to initiate. Is this normal?

Yes it is normal, it looks faster in pc cuz it actually is faster on pc, on psvita it loads a little bit slower, you need to find the right rithm to it, its about 4 presses per second, the idea is to get the menu and the main screen to start cliding with one another if you see the two images merging you are doing it right and you should not stop until it automatically stop leting you press pause, i set the pause button to select to have a more confortable hand grip, plz try this and if your are having trouble i upload a video of myseld doing it....i mean the glitch, dont give up.

I have the same problem after get Ice beam, stuck on that room after boss show up but only head, no body then disappear, all doors are locked no way to get out of there. Also tried glitch omegavile described but failed. Love this game but looks like I have to stop play at this points.
