Can you list the cluster sizes?

 

[Link_of_Hyrule]

Can you list the cluster sizes?

yeah it's moving all the data back to my computer so I can format after that I can list them. But I think I can format it to anything with miniTool partition Wizard if it's not on the windows format tool.

@Robz8 here is the list of options.

I recently heard that Nintendo said to use 32 KB, so either 32 KB or 64 KB will work.

But what was the thing about 4KB earlier?

It made the read speed slower in the official bootstrap release.

So having it on 4KB clusters is a bad thing?

So I wonder if the largest is the best to use hmm.

If anyone wants all the NDS Box arts that are resized for TWLauncher you can find 1 to 6159 here please note they are not named only numbered. https://filetrip.net/dl?efwJ3E2PVt

I just noticed that images for 5251 to 5500 are missing. Can you provide the missing ones?

Hmm my mistake the originals can all be found here. I used XnView to bulk resize them and convert them to png. I'll fix it later if I remember but the tool is free and easy to use.


https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/utilities/download-rominator-boxart-update-6159-6174-f32003.html click on the right side where it says "other versions: 24" to find the pack you want.

Already tried this to see if I can get GBARunner2 to boot past the red top/white bottom fail screen(no luck). It slows everything down. The Home screen takes ages to boot from a fresh start and NDS games also take longer to load. Although, Warioware Touched didn't stutter AS bad(meaning the time between each stutter was less than 64KB clusters).

Edit: Ah, I see an update. Sweet.

Is it possible to add an option in the setting to check out if TWLNAND side CIA is installed and up to date? I guess such check would be nice, especially for those people who's not sure if they've done all the installation steps correctly.
Might also be a good thing to check from the app what latest build of bootstrap and TWLoader are avaliable.

AN O3DS won't boot the latest Luma to Sysnand to install the side cia. Is anyone having that problem, I don't have Rxtools on this to try booting sys on that.
