TWiLight Menu++, see the warning concerning 64 GB and bigger SD cards.

@Robz8, are you guys looking for a bug tester? If so, what would be the best way to get in contact with the [ TWiLight Menu / nds-bootstrap ] crew?

I haven't used the latest version of TWiLight Menu to be able to tell you for sure. It's probably found somewhere in TWiLight's settings. Press the DSi icon found between the "Start GBARunner2" and (HOME) button.

"Start GBARunner2" has changed to the last-ran ROM.

Funny timing. I just installed a 64gb card today and it corrupted within 30 minutes of launching a DS game using NDS Bootstrap. FML. :)

That happened to me only days ago (I'm pretty sure because I was trying to get Widescreen working) I'm pretty sure this thread is based on my post, R.I.P. to your saves

It was with a fresh install of twilight menu so whichever version of bootstrap comes packaged. And yes the FAT table cache was turned off.

I've had a 256gb on my primary 3DS for the past 3 years and the only "corruption issue" I had was a screwed up install of a YouTube app I had but other than that it has never let me down

Only buy brand name cards from Amazon (not 3rd party on Amazon!). I've been burnt by "deals". It's not worth the headache or saving a few $.
Crappy/fake SD cards really exist. I didn't believe it until I saw it firsthand. Cost me hundreds of $ in a business transaction.
The problem with large SD cards on the 3DS is just that there are longer loading times. It's apparently not known why that happens, but I can confirm it. Up to 64gb gives you the fastest loading times. Above that, it slows down. It's not really that big of a deal. You will only notice this when you install CIA's for example. I don't think that it causes any issues in games.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
