Hacking Weekly infolib.dat updates

denieru7 · Jul 1, 2009

I'm operating on an ask-and-you-shall recieve basis now. If you want a game included, request it in either this thread OR the chatbox that you can find on the left sidebar of the site. Obvious games like FF, Pokemon etc I will add without needing to be asked, cause I play those games too you know =P

Because of the lack of infolib.dat updates, i decided to take matters into my own hands.

What infolib.dat is: It's a library that speeds up loading times in TT and YSmenu.

ALL GAMES UNDER AND INCLUDING 4783 ARE INCLUDED, FROM HERE http://gamewiki.jp/uploader/dsma/

REMEMBER, ALL ROMS UNDER 4783 ARE INCLUDED HERE, THAT MEANS ALL THE JAP, ITALIAN ETC TOO. So don't request a game if its under 4783. Remember, you can always wait for the next full release by 2ch. I'm just doing updates to games that are requested.

As new updates of infolib.dat are released here: http://gamewiki.jp/uploader/dsma/ or in unofficial firmware updates then i will base my updates on their latest file, which would include ROMs from all regions.

Credits go to:

-boyakkey (maker of infolib custom kit)
-The guys who do the infolib updates @ http://gamewiki.jp/uploader/dsma/. They're 2ch.
-Pendor, for inspiring me to do this just like he did. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=144076 Also, for helping me out with doing this on an r4

cheers buddy!
-justing943 for helping me with dowloading ROMS. Without him, this wouldnt be possible. This guy is my best friend in real life; awesome guy. THANK YOU!
-khfreakau for helping me with some rom number issues and random other things =D My other RL best friend

PM me with any other credit that needs crediting. =P

Also please tell me about any issues/problems/mistakes.

Last of all, I'm 15 years old. Please remember that I still go to school, and have a life and studies and whatnot to consider as well, so go easy on me =P

Also, the TT card that I'm using right now is not mine; I'm borrowing it from a friend. I own an r4 with ysmenu, and got fed up with slow loading times for new games. There is no other way in my knowledge to do this apart from having a TT card, so I might need to go get one or something.

You CAN update it with an R4. I just sent you a pm.

Sorry for the delay.

Good luck bro

ZeroEXE93 · Jul 2, 2009

Nice job, thanks for including Devil Survivor. Can you do the two Mega Man Star Force 3 games (#s 3928 and 3929) for the next update?

Edit: Nvm, just saw your "Games to Do" list. Thanks again.

denieru7 · Jul 2, 2009

For some reason, when i went to edit file, and deleted the old one as well as uploaded the new one, the whole thing just died o0 There's no file and I can't upload a new one because of an error: "Cannot delete file". Have no idea, i reuploaded it, sorry about the link change. So how can I avoid this in future? You'll need to change that link btw Bri, sorry =S

EDIT: Added a site for this =D http://sites.google.com/site/weeklyinfolib/

Exactly that.

Sandman00009 · Jul 2, 2009

oh wow it loads faster now thanks

tbgtbg · Jul 2, 2009

Thanks for doing this, dude.

denieru7 · Jul 3, 2009

Do i deserve a sticky?

KingdomBlade · Jul 3, 2009

Actually, you do. I just contacted Toni to sticky this.

denieru7 · Jul 3, 2009

Thanks

Btw, would you guys like me to do savlib.dat updates as well? I know that there are only a few games that have different save file sizes, but the existing one seems outdated. I already have the savelib editor thing from in this forum, but does anyone know a link to a database or something, or a list of games that need special save file types? If its unnecessary then dont worry

KingdomBlade · Jul 3, 2009

No need. I never even felt the use for savlib.DAT. It was pointless. I couldn't figure out what that thing was for... but I never had a problem running a game.

Depravo · Jul 3, 2009

Savlib.dat updates would be appreciated but there are so few games that have non-standard save sizes that weekly updates would not be necessary.
