I use LittleWriter for my Flash Advance Pro 256mbit card and so far nearly every rom with 64,128 and 256 mbit worked.

I have an XG 2-lite and a DS with flash-me,I tried to play nintendogs with it but... the game wil save, though it seems a corrupt save because I can play with my dog but I can't go out to walk and other stuff like that.
Any solution for this ?

Not as of yet; and it seems every cart is having this problem, so it must be the patchers fault.

I made an account here because I figure you're the only guys who can help me out with this. (most coherant forum I've seen on DS software).

I really wanna play Jump Superstars off of a flash cart, but at the moment I can't setup a flashme on the DS. Then I read up and found out that no one had reported this game working at all. So, i looked around, and here's what I got. Castlevania was the same size, but worked trimmed. So, I went into Jump Superstars, using NDSTS, and extracted the file opening.ax. I then used a hex editor, and wrote down the values for the beginning, and end, of the file. Then, I went in, and opened the rom, and using the hex editor removed the values from beginning to end, and took out the opening, shaving 2 megabytes from the rom. Then, I went in and removed the padding at the end, shaving about twenty. I'm left with a roughly 38 MB NDS file, which loads to the menus in iDeaS, yet I think it might play on a flashed system. Can anyone repeat this process and see if this can make it boot for them?

(Just to be REALLY clear, cause that is an issue I have alot)
1. Took the raw Trashman Jump Superstars
2. Extracted opening.ax using NDSTS
3. Used XVI32 hex editor to record the values that begin and end the opening
4. Used XVI32 to remove the same value range from Superstars
5. Used XVI32 to remove data padding at the end of the rom.

This reduced it to 38 megs, and I think that might make it playable. But I can't tell, as I have yet to get a flash setup on DS, and I don't know wether to blame the emu for it not working (as DS emulation is RELALY buggy right now).

Someone else please help me test this.

I posted a tutorial for ripping Jump Superstars to 32MB. Do a search for it.

Will this ever be updated?
I'm not interested in playing commercial games, but I'd like to get the DS Download Station v1 working.

You realise that no one could actually download from you (unless they have flashme'd DSs) because its unsigned code?

I was able to send a demo of some commercial game to another unflashed DS just fine. I think it was Animaniacs. I patched it with LoadMe, though.

Tetris DS, Advance Wars and some other commerical roms worked for me too when playing with an unflashed DS.

I think that if the rom includes the multiplayer data as a SRL file, it works on unflashed DS. If not, it doesn't.l
