    Hacking Post your questions about which flashcart to buy

    I have a CycloDS and am thrilled with it-- have recommended a CycloDS for a family friend, too, and she's happy with it. But suddenly people are coming out of the woodwork and are asking me which is the best no-frills card on the market. For someone purley looking for Slot-1 and loading ROMs...

    Hacking restoring save game from GBA exploader

    Good advice! What's the difference between the two modes? To me, they might as well be called "Steak" mode and "Bubble Tea" mode. One has blue borders and one has green, and beyond that I haven't a holy clue. Greg

    Hacking restoring save game from GBA exploader

    I sort of got it half-@$$ed working, but I'm not sure I'm doing it right. Deleted the old directories (used chkdsk utility), started a game (this time, Fire Emblem 2). It was in "NOR" mode by default. Now, when I restart the DS, I can just choose the GBA Game option, as long as I'm only...

    Hacking restoring save game from GBA exploader

    2 things-- 1, I was wrong-- it was 0.3; I'm off to try 0.4 2, I don't see any .sav anywhere at all. I'm not even sure where to expect it to be? For example, I have: root:\GBA Exploader.nds For running the loader. And then I have the games in root:\GBA\ I tried using his old tool, so it...

    I believe it's 0.4. I'll try the .sav idea. [edit:] there was no .sav to be found, actually.

    Hacking restoring save game from GBA exploader

    CycloDS + EZ 3-in-1 With no help file, some of the stuff seems kind of cryptic, and I believe I've also discovered a bug... dunno how to report it to Rudolph. Here's the non-bug (but "I dunno what I'm doing!") scenario: 1. Load up Final Fantasy VI 2. Get to first save point; save file to...

    Gaming smash - like

    Bleach is a bit more like other traditional 2D fighting games (Street Fighter, specifically). But it's a great one! Jump Ultimate Stars is in Japanese... might be daunting to navigate.

    Hacking Post your questions about which flashcart to buy

    I dunno. It's a nearly endless debate, but I eventually just went with the CycloDS. I have been very satisfied. I can't compare it to anything else, so my opinion is useless as a "which is better" opinion-- but although the menu has its quirks (weird lack of touch sensitivity at times, too!)...

    Hacking Moonshell

    Ah, OK. That's the trouble with screenshots, eh? I realize I could just answer this myself, but I'm not in the mood for wrangling my SD card out of its slot; one more question-- If my media list is long enough, will it scroll down into the bottom screen? Or is the bottom screen always just...

    Hacking Moonshell

    According to the reviews on this forum, and elsewhere, there should be a wealth of information about Moonshell. I can't find anything that's in anything but broken English and with limited visual aid. Here's my problem, and I suspect I just have false expectations. The default 1.71 skin has a...

    Hacking Reliability of Cyclo ds evolution

    I've only had mine for a few days, but I'm thrilled. I think a better iteration of their "customized" Moonshell would be worth looking into, but everything else has been tops.

    Hacking Brand of SD card

    Dumb retailer. Short version: I got the Kingston, made in Japan. Good price ($28 CDN for 2GB) but not a big enough difference-- should've just got the bundle that included the memory. Long version: Me: I'm looking for a flash card-- microSD or SDHC. Him: what size? Me (an idiot): er...

    Hacking Brand of SD card

    Cool. I'm off in about an hour to buy-- found a local retailer with 2GB SD Kingston in stock (not sure about Japanese or not), and 4GB OCZ SDHC. I know OCZ make really good RAM, but nobody on this board mentions them in terms of quality of Flash. If anyone has an opinion within the next...

    Hacking Brand of SD card

    I got my CycloDS yesterday, and my local computer retailer was all out of MicroSD. I then went to Staples to see what I could find, and the only reasonably-priced stuff was from... Lexar. The people who make cheap printers. I decided to take a pass, even though it's killing me to have the...

    Hacking Best flashcard deal?

    I bought from here: http://www.modchipcentral.com/store/Flash-...s-p-1-c-12.html didn't get a bundle; I'm just going to buy the SD locally. Went for the Cyclo, but on your budget there are a few options. Haven't actually received it yet, but they provided a legitimate Canada Post tracking...
