again i don't see why i have to keep quoting myself it dosn't dam work, i've tried in 4 games now, nothing happens.

*Sigh*...it's just like he said. L+R+Start+Down to turn them off, then L+R+Start+Up to get them to work again. I just tested it personally, and it works.

First off, press B in the cheat menu to get the option(Real-time on/off enable(B)) to activate the real time option. Also enable Game Disable and Cheat Disable activated.

Can't be anymore clearer than that. If following this, it still doesn't work for you, then switch to an easier cart.

EDIT: See you got it working.

So this update didn't address the issue with Pokemon Wii and a DS connecting together? I still get a white screen on the DS.

As if nobody would be interested......
Well, I'd already released a version that patched the R4 1.11 English to M3DS hardware.

Do you count the downloads?
Not usually. I don't care how many people download/use it, I'm more interesting in comments, bug reports. I really
only do this because I find it interesting. As soon as it stops being interesting to me, I'll be done with it. The source is
readily available with every release, so anyone with a little programming knowledge can keep working on it (as long
as they make their source changes public and make note that the source is not entirely theirs).

QUOTE(coolmos @ Jul 31 2007, 05:42 AM)Thanks for such a fast job on the new patcher!
No problem

I almost had a release ready 8/9 hours earlier, but alas, I have a job.

Ehi iq, did you put the info.dat inside the patch.exe in your latest builds?
Or do I ask too much noobish questions..


edit: that was a noobish question

kaktus,

I was reading this thread and contemplating starting another thread asking about the best trimmer. I use NDSTokyoTrim myself, but your analysis has me a bit worried about the results. I use it mostly because it detects wifi data. Has there been any complaints that it ever did chop off more than what was needed? Has it ever actually messed up a rom?

Anyway, thanks a lot for the in depth review.

I usually use NDS Tokyo Trim, but I just tried with the latest version, 0.43 and I got two white screens. I then tried with ROM Trimmer v2.0 and the results are as follows:

64,463,752 lost2_romtrimmer2.nds
64,463,240 lost2_tokyo.nds

102,691,180 finalfantasyIII_romtrimmer2.nds
102,690,804 finalfantasyIII_tokyo.nds

As you can see Tokyo v0.43 trims more than Rom Trimmer v2.0 and it's this extra bit that damages the roms returning the white screens. Both trims by Rom Trimmer v2.0 work. I suggest not using Tokyo until it's fixed.

I have no problems with any of the games I had trimmed with ndstokyotrim.

The roms are:
0939 - Lost In Blue 2 (U)(Xenophobia).rar
0681 - Final Fantasy III (U).rar

And I used the latest version, 0.43. Yes, it might only affect certain roms as you can see that the amount chopped off by Tokyo on the two roms I illustrated is different: 512 bytes and 376 bytes respectively.

Anyone using Offline List, just use the trimmer module, I havent had any problems with any game I've trimmed using it.

Thanks for the tip but I like the batch feature with Tokyo Rom Trimmer. I sent the author an e-mail about what I found so hopefully he can nail down what the problem is and fix it in the next release.

Hi, please download the latest build uploaded today, it should fix all those problems. As for the size comparisons..

64,463,752 lost2_romtrimmer2.nds
64,463,240 lost2_tokyo.nds

The problem wasn't that it was trimming too much, actually the size will be even lower with the current build.

gbaguy emailed me acknowledging the roms work now with the last build

So:

"rom trimmer v2": 102,691,180
ndstokyo old : 102,690,804
new ndstokyo: 102,690,668

As you can see it wasn't trimming too much, but after the fix it's actually trimming more. "Rom trimmer" still does it a wrong way by using always a fixed size. "safe trimming" is a useless concept, you just need to trim the correct amount of bytes by analyzing the rom in detail.

Trimming backwards from the end of the rom like some do, doesn't guarantee a correct trimming either.
