Note : SMS Boosterpass is available only for UK, French, German, Spanish, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden. If you live in those country you can go to an official site in your language and look for the short code for sending sms to them to get Boosterpass code.

Official Site will not told you which cards you can get from SMS Boosterpass. Cards you can get from SMS Boosterpass is a random cards from All Boosterpass (6 random cards in each phase) and USB Duelpass cards but you will not get a structure deck for the first time you enter Boosterpass code.

I’ve heard a lot of people talking about USA Promo Red-Eyes Black Dragon is available via SMS in the early state by Konami error (Now You can’t get it anymore).

Is it true that you can’t get USA Promo Red-Eyes Black Dragon with SMS right now? Maybe It’s true If a lot of people can get it It will lose it value in JPN card rate (If a lot of people trade it with JPN) but right now when I check it It’s still a top rare card in the rate.

Note : USA Promo Red Eyes Black Dragon Green Background is Special Duelpass bundle with Shonen Jump May Edition during 2005/4/28. It’s a very rare card in Yu-Gi-Oh Online.

Two Thing diffrent from SMS Duelpass from yo2 is you got 30 points (YO2 you got 15 points) and you can get random card.

I’ve heard there is some Boosterpass (Advent of The Emperors and Ultimate Selection) you can’t buy it with Paypal from Official Site but you can still get a bonus card with SMS Boosterpass (No Discontinued/Out of Stock Boosterpass with SMS Payment).

Fixing a Problem with NPC by Disable Duelist Interaction

I don’t know if you have a same problem like me When I duel NPC this game will stop working during a duel and a lot of times Opponent Disconnect (NPC Disconnect).

I try a lot thing from download and repair an installaion enable and disable Anti-Aliasing and run a Campatability Mode but none of them working until I try to disable Duelist Interaction in Duel Option Menu I turn all of them off and It’s work! I can duel NPC without problem over an hours.

I face this problem since they added 4 new NPC on 2010/4/23 and now It’s still having a problem, Contact Konami support will not help me They will told a basic thing like update your windows, update your driver.

I hope they will fix it in the next patch or is it just me who have this problem?

Konami Patch 2010/4/28

There is a new patch today. They made an announcement about Crossroad of Chaos, New NPC and Change Regulation in Game, Game Version change to 1.024 and they add a Change Protector Menu in Deck Construction Screen (fourth icon from the top).

You can purchase more Card Protector at Blister’s Hideout.

These are a Protector available at the moment.

Konami also fixing some bug in this patch. They seperate Card Protector from Avatar Item. When you buy it you can change a back image of your card at Change Protector button in Edit Deck Screen.

Duel Accelerator VS Decade Duels

I think a lot of you know about an upcoming Yu-Gi-OH Games for X-Box 360 (Decade Duels) already. If some of you didn’t know it I will give you some information read below.

It’s going to be Yu-Gi-OH Online Alternative for console game. It look a lot like Yu-Gi-OH Online Duel Accelerator but you can play it offline with 5D’s Character. Here a comparison about 2 game feature

Rank matches is Online play for this game but you can play it offline with 5D’s Character – YO3 You can’t play it offline

Quick Match = Auto Duel in Duel Accelerator

Custom Match = Create a Custom Duel in Duel Accelerator

Customization of gameplay rules = Change Regulation in Duel Accelerator

Purchase a new decks = Boosterpass in YO3

Tag Duel = None in YO3

Text and Voice Chat = Chat Message in Duel Accelerator (but no voice chat in YO3)

Events/ Trade Cards/Rent Cards/Customization Duel Speech and Duel Logs : (no information for Decade Duels) but We have it in YO3.

Graphic : You can see Decade Duels screenshot from http://www.konami.com/games/ygo5ddecade/ – YO3 have 2d field with 3d Animate Character (no 3d monster) and Graphic look a lot like Tag Force game for PSP but only 1024×768 Full Screen Resolution. Decade Duels may have a High Definition Graphich because It’s the first Yu-Gi-OH game for next generetion console.

Live Leader Boards = Tournament Points Ranking in YO3

Update Version – There will be a new booster pack and cards for player in Decade Duels and YO3 but for Decade Duels their is no information about an update. I mean one of Benefit for Yu-Gi-OH Online is The game will change to a new version when 2-3 Years had passed and You will not lose Your Profile and cards you collect when it change to a new version (From YO1 to YO2 and Become YO3).

There is not much information right now about Decade Duels but a lot of game feature are the one from Yu-Gi-OH Online with a new name.

The Most Important in How much it cost for a New Cards/Structure Deck. Duel Accelerator now have a same price with In Real Life [300 Yen = 2 In-Game Booster Pack/In Real Life 150 Yen for 1 Booster Pack] but it’s cheaper for Structure Deck (Buy 1 Boosterpass and you got a Structure Deck but You can get only 1 Structure Deck).

If Decade Duels can offer a cheaper price and add a Trade Feature and Event. It’s going to be popular. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Decade Duels will be available in Q2 2010 on XBOX Live Arcade . When I have an information I will compare it again.

Better In-Game Graphic Enable Anti-Aliasing

This is a basic stuff If you are PC Gamers but some people may not know or forget to set it, There is no Graphic Detail setting in this game if you want better graphic you must set it in Your Driver Setting by increase 3D Quality Level and Enable Anti-Aliasing.

It depend on your Graphic Cards I use ATI Radeon when I want to increase 3d Quality and Enable Anti-Aliasing I will go to Catalyst Control Center.

Don’t use Application setting (remove it) and set an Anti-Aliasing setting (I prefer 8x but 4x is fine) then click apply. It will look much better than the default one.

Before

After 4X Anti-Aliasing

When I got a screen capture from someone or read blog/forum I always see a default one (No Smooth Edge) This is why I think some people may not know it.
