GBA ExpLoader 0.53

[Urza]

We advise NOT using it on any form of EZ4 though it supposedly has support. It risks bricking the EZ4.​

GBA ExpLoader 0.53
Support for M3 DS Real GBA Expansion

New version of Rudolph's GBA ExpLoader utility for GBA expansion packs. Significant addition in this version is support for the M3 GBA Expansion Pack (the one that comes with the M3DS Real bundle). Download and other changes below.

Spoiler: Full Changelog

SRAM corrects the trouble of the judgment by 128K "DSTT GBA&EXPLORER 2IN1".

Support for M3 GBA Expansion Pack
(The patch of the FLASH1M type is unmounted. )

Fixes graphical error when soft reset fails

It correctly corresponds to DLDI of SLOT-1 that is not the SLOT-1 type.

Thanks to Sephiroth1n6 for the tip!

Works nice on the M3GBA Expansion pack.

- Now let's ask for Supercard CF/SD support to /

 

[Deleted User]

Yeah add the SC support, and does this support Opera RAM?

 

[Satangel]

So what's the function of this thingy?
Can you now run the GBA expansion pack with any slot1 cart (that has DLDI)?

 

[DjoeN]

Yes you can now use the M3DS Real gba expansion pack with any slot-1 flashcard

 

[Normmatt]

Bah i want M3 SD/CF support, I coded my own utility for it but no save patching so i doesnt support much

 

[silverbullet1080]

Does this support EZ Flash slot 2?

 

[Maikel Steneker]

Does this support EZ Flash slot 2?

Yes it does.

Hey, I haven't been keeping track of this app... How is it compared to the original Rudolph's 3 in 1 tool? I have that right now, and I'm perfectly fine with it, but multiple saves would be nice to have.

So, anyway, what features does it not have/are broken that 3 in 1 tool has, what games don't work on it that work on 3 in 1 tool, and what features (other than multiple saves) does it have (for a 3 in 1 user) that the original doesn't?

By the way, if this matters, I'm using an R4.

Oh, and, sorry if there's already a comparison. I looked but couldn't find one.

 

[DjoeN]

I don't know

héhé

But one thing i know

Just use the new tool!

I think what you're looking for is "Rudolph's Slot-2 Backup something-or-other" If I do understand what GBAExpLoader does and what you want.

 

[bclowe]

i'm having trouble. how exactly do you disable the multisave? if someone could just copy and paste the text in the ini file that would be great.

GBA ExpLoader copies gba roms to slot2 ram and launches them, I made a similar tool specifically for my M3SD but it should work for others, but at the moment it doesnt do any save patching so you cant save in any games.

To Disable it you have to remove two symbols "!" and "#"

This is what you should have-
CODE#
# GBA_ExpLoader.ini
#

SaveDirÂÂÂÂ/GBA_SAVE
SignDirÂÂÂÂ/GBA_SIGN
No_MultiSaveÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ No Multi Save

Support for more than the 3 in 1.
Games can be loaded form any directory,not just from \gba
Multiple saves.
Automatic patching-no longer have to patch, it works with clean roms, including Famicom Mini/Classic NES.

 

[Inspektor]

Classic NES series work now too? No kidding. I tried them before (not sure if I was using the 3in1 tools or GBAExploader) and I got the "game pak error" message. I guess I will give it a try with the newest version...

 

[mkoo]

I've been wondering since first version. What is gba_sign for?

 

[Inspektor]

I've been wondering since first version. What is gba_sign for?

I think that's where the patching info is stored.

 

[m-p{3}]

Yeah add the SC support, and does this support Opera RAM?

Last time I tried, it didn't support the Nintendo DS Browser official RAM. Would be nice to see it supported, but I don't think we'll see much games running on it, considering it only has 8MB of total memory. Most GBA games are bigger than that.
