    FATPlow: A fix for slow loading times for DSi's with huge SD cards.

    I've been using a 512GB card, which when filled would take up to 3 minutes to boot, oof. I don't have a 3DS, so I can't really say for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if it suffered from the same flaw. Yea, I only provided a Linux build, because I don't have a Windows system and don't know...

    FATPlow: A fix for slow loading times for DSi's with huge SD cards.

    It's not really defragmenting. The tool does not particularly care about keeping clusters contiguous, it just moves them to the first free cluster near the end. Each cluster is moved at most once. Also, if your card is filled over half, most of the data won't even be rewritten anyway. Clusters...

    FATPlow: A fix for slow loading times for DSi's with huge SD cards.

    Howdy y'all If you are using a very large SD card in your DSi, you may have noticed a tendency for first boots of a game to be very slow. This happens because it has to create new files, and in order to do that it needs to find free clusters on the FAT32 file system of your SD card. To find...

    Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

    Howdy, I believe I may have found a bug in nds-bootstrap. I'll go into my setup really quick first. I purchased a 512GB SD card recently to use in my DSi, and I am using most of that space. Putting that much data slowed the DSi down any time it needed to create a new file, such as new save...
