DSFix (Use this to improve the game)

For those who wonder why you'd want to install these it's quite simple.

The Developers who made the port had never coded for PC so they only did a quick job and left most things out of the game that would make it better. This meant a broken support for Keyboard and mouse. Lacking graphic options, like really really lacking and some other things.
They haven't even released a single patch which could have fixed all of these issues.

But luckily we have some fans that fixed several of those things and made it look better.
http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?p=684 Direct link to the latest DSFix patch.
Because links to the download files are being removed by other companies I'll host it myself.
First is from my DropBox account and it's a direct link to the zip file for patch 2.4

Download link to the latest DSFix patch from my own DropBox Account[www.dropbox.com]

Download link to the latest DSFix patch and this one is on Microsofts OneDrive online storage.[onedrive.live.com]
For that one, just click on the file and it should download.

Dote note that you can trust me as I'd like to keep my Global Moderator status and sharing files that steal stuff will get me removed instantly.

Also Disable AA in the options as well before you start the game. Otherwise it'll keep crashing.

60 FPS seems to work just fine now in the latest release of DSFix.

Next up is for those who like to play with mouse and keyboard.

Use that.

Awesome thread! I have been mentioning the Mouse and Graphic fix over and over and over so far. Good to have it in one place!

DS Fix is huge for this game to run properly. Shame they never patched it. Good thing it only takes a few minutes to install.

If - you want to* "borrow" from that link - there's a ton of other listed fixes.

I also recommend Durante's DSfix. It's the reason I got the game. It makes the game run and look better. Definitely worth it. Haven't tried the mouse and keyboard fix since I use a controller but heard mostly good things about it.

That's what he/she has linked as "The Graphic fix".

I can only agree that the DSfix makes this game better! It's very easy to install, and the game looks so much nicer with it.

Still it's quite a must have for the game imo.

Readme says I can be banned from GFWL for framerate unlock. Do you know anything about? Can I play DS while banned in GFWL?

There are not even doing anything about people using hacks such as trainers (nor did they on consoles). I have played 60 hours at 60 fps with no issues. I highly doubt you will have any issues as there are no anti hack systems in place.
