and instead he got some B***S**t

anyway back 2 the Question:what is a ARM7 fix

Answer: ARM7 fix is when you replace one file that is in the ROM with another, (the file is arm7.bin) it is to make that game work. And that is why it is called a Arm7 fix if u r u some NOOB

Example of an error (most common ) "Cannot access save data. Turn off the power and reinsert the DS Card."

THE HOW TO :yayds: :yayds:


First Step.

Download DSlazy

Code:

Second Step

Download arm7.bin

Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/176297856/arm7.zip

Download Microsoft.NET Framework (if you don't have it)

1.)
Create a folder called 'dslazy' extract the files from dslazy.zip to 'dslazy' folder.

2.)
Open dslazy.exe and click on ... navigate to your yourgame.nds.

3.)
Click the nds unpack button, this will create a folder called NDS_UNPACK.

4.)

@Dter ic, you helped me
by the way, can I do this with more games?
Like: I'm doing this with Magician's Quest right now...
Can I also do it with sonic the dark brotherhood? or do I have to install the whole thing again for each game that I want to do it for?

ty for your reply and help

I've just read and followed the excellent tutorial by Dter ic for using the arm7 and dslazy fix to get around the problems with the R4. Mostly it worked, but I have done something wrong because when you try to play the game, there is sound but no video. Could you please tell me what I need to do to fix this. Thank you. I have posted this question in the forum pages as well, hope you dont mind

Cheats in the database are assigned to a specific game ID. When you apply an ARM7 patch to a ROM you change it's game ID. This is why cheats do not show up for patched games.

Use R4CCE to manually edit the game ID in the cheat database to match the game ID of patched game.
