Where can I get the ARM7.bin file? I tried the one from the new Nintendo Crossword game but it still didn't work on my AK2i.

I got it to work using the Simcity (J) arm7.bin

I tried this and I get this message, "The Bookworm Save Data Could Not Be Accessed."

At least I got more than a blck screen so I guess this is an improvement. Any other advice?

FOR AK2i USERS:

After doing the ARM7 fix and it still doesn't work, try booting the game to DMA mode (hold X on the Loading screen)

Thanks to KevInChester for the tip.

I got the game to load in AKAIO 1.5.1 doing the ARM7 patch and holding x while loading the game, but....... If I choose any type of multiplayer mode I get 2 black screens but I can still hear the game music

Edit: Redid the arm7 patch, everything works great now...even multiplayer.

Yep - I can confirm this works (I used Sand Of Destruction for the Arm7 fix)... One thing though.

Is there any way to 'force' Bookworm to load in the alternative (original) DMA (Red 'Loading' Text) mode other than wait until a new AKAIO loader comes out ??
- I keep forgetting to hold [X] when loading

I'm guessing it's the 'loader' that decides on how to load ROMS as my 'Animal Crossing:Wild World' loads using the normal DMA mode with LOADING... while all other games use the 'DMA-Quicksave' mode with 'LOADING...'

is it really that hard to patch for R4?
if i understand it right once it would get fixed to DSTT
than YSMENU could be fixed as well
(if that guy still updates it at all that is?)

If it's so easy, then do it yourself. I have a R4 and I'm not complaining. I can wait. Or you can just buy the game off the PopCap website for $20 and get Bookworm for the PC for free as part of your purchase.

And yeah, DSTT fix = R4 fix. I thought they still updated, they're just not as fast as other teams.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
