Hacking Trimed roms

[Bernhard]

Does trimming roms affect any gameplay? For example the graphics or the shaders or anything else?

No.

Trimming roms is perfectly safe and has zero affect on the game itself. It just removes the empty blank space from the rom. Some people claim that using trimmed roms can cause issues, but there is nothing really to support this. Trimming roms is the way to go.

The exception is Type 2 roms because these use the blank for space for save data. Do NOT trim Pokemon games, Animal Crossing etc.

It's a bit outdated, but this list is what you should check. It refers to them as 'Card 2' roms.

Note that Type 2 roms are actually very uncommon, pretty much just games that have massive save files. The vast majority of roms are Type 1 and can be trimmed fine.

You can check here.

There are really few games that are card-2 type.

Use 3DSExplorer to trim. It conveniently shows whether the ROM is card1 or card2 so you can check before trimming.
