2) that's odd, ill check it out. you should get that error if the file already exists in the destination folder. can you try again and make sure the folder it's empty? I think ill make it just overwrite the files..
3) sounds good, will do that, leaving only the region between brackets (J) etc
GBA trimming: upon inspecting some roms I noticed some weird stuff in some. found one that had a random string at the end of the rom, so trimming that one will fail; others have some random chars mixed after a long space with garbage. I couldn't find much info about the GBA rom header so I'm using a very basic and lame method to trim. Hope it will get better with your feedback!
When the stable version is released you will get notified automatically by the trimmer when you run it if you have that option enabled.

I read it. Love those BG's!
Were the girls in the last BG... nvm I don't want to say it
Speed improvements?!
Dude this thing trimmed off 27 megs for me in 0.8 seconds! Not much room left for improvement which makes me happy
Good work and keep it up! (although I'm perfectly content with 0.50 already)

Beautiful! Thank you so much for the GBA support Brian.
EDIT: Ok, I trimmed Warioland4. It's an 8.00mb rom. After trimming with NDSTokyo, then rom is now 7.96mb.
Now, when I put the full rom onto the G6 Lite through the G6 Manager, the rom shows up as 4.93mb with the compression option. So I guess trimming GBA roms really doesn't have an affect with your using the G6 patching client.
But since the EZIV Client doesn't have a trim option, your trimmer will come in very handy.
Thanks again.

No, the detestation folder is empty until the app puts the untrimmed rom in it and then gives that error. It seems to unRAR the files to the detestation folder and then tries to trim them else where and move them but errors because they are already there. I guess overwriting is the simplest fix but it worked fine in .50 and would only error if I actually had a rom there already. The only problem with .50 was that it left the unzipped and untrimmed roms in the apps working folder when it should have deleted them after each successful trim and copy. Still I dont mind it much since most trimming apps seem to have this or another problem with output folders.
And thank you for adding renaming, leaving the region is so helpful for saves. Though if you could keep the simple version number too and make proper spacing, that would make this most helpful. I.E. “Game (J)(v1.1)” simply becomes “Game (J) (1.1)” Still, how ever is easy as long as its better then doing it by hand or setting up a separate batch reamer program.
The EZIV Client does trim. The options are to save patch and add a reset patch but it always trims, though it also renames them from a list and I often want to rename them back. As for the G6 Manager, you said it uses compression so I would assume it normally compresses out the 00 and FF to store it in a trimmed like state. Using a trimmed rom wont save space but might save a little decompression time.

That works good enough, thanks! Mostly I just didn't want it leaving the unzipped files in the app folder.
I should point out another bug though. When I tell it to Stop it gives me an error box saying “Invalid pointer operation” and then the app just kinda sits there with my pointer as the hourglass and I have to close and reopen the app to get it working again. Not a biggie, I mean if it does as it should I wont be Stopping it much.
Also, again, just a simple thanks man.

Ah, that's good info HackNeyed. So the EZIV Client auto trims? Because when the roms show up on my microsd, they show up as a full rom. Either by hovering the mouse over the file to see the info, or right-clicking it and hitting Properties.
Brian, i was using ur trimmer with Namco Museum DS and when i trimmed the rom, it didnt work on my flashcard (G6 Lite) but whe i used untrimmed version, it worked.
maybe u can improve ur software.

No time
My policy is if you find a game that doesn't work trimmed with mine, but it does when trimmed with others, I will fix that
