I know I've already posted this but I can't get it working and it's gotten really hard to find my old post so I'm re-posting! (it's a copy-paste)

I know this is probably a stupid question and has been asked a thousand times but I'm installing devkitPro with only devkitARM and Minimal System but I keep getting this error (It's only the end. All of it was too big):

untgz::extract -d 'c:\devkitPro\libgba' -zbz2 'C:\Users\georg\Downloads\libgba-20090222.tar.bz2'
gzread: incomplete block read
Error: Failure reading from tarball.
failed to extract libgba-20090222.tar.bz2: Error: Failure reading from tarball.

Please help!

No need to do that, Open the .tar.bz2 with 7zip (Recommended) and extract it until you at a single folder with a Makefile inside.
Then go ahead and type "cd "pathtofolderwithmakefile"" then type "make install".

It should then install fine. :)

Sorry, but is there anyway to install devkitPro with the installer or do I have to extract it all manually?

You need to Extract it all since it cant read the Tarball for some reason. Are you unable to extract manually or something?

Whenever I try to extract what I need (citro3d, libctru, devkitarm and examples) and make the examples, it errors (I'm using the git bash).
$ make
make[1]: Entering directory 'c:/devkitPro/devkitARM/examples/app_launch'
sh: C:\Program: No such file or directory
c:/devkitPro/devkitARM/base_rules:84: recipe for target 'main.o' failed
make[2]: *** [main.o] Error 127
Makefile:135: recipe for target 'build' failed
make[1]: *** [build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory 'c:/devkitPro/devkitARM/examples/app_launch'
Makefile:13: recipe for target 'examples' failed
make: *** [examples] Error 1

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
