Hacking akAIO

[Mantis41]

Has anyone tried the auto rom trim option in akAIO?

many times but the problem is in the way nds lib does the copy/paste. stick with a dedicated trimmer.

i didn't understand that last one AW...
are you saying it only trims within the ds by using the copy/paste option?

yes

so can you trim a rom using AK, then use the trimmed rom on an R4? or will the AP still be there?

Trimming reduces the size of the rom, it has no effect on AP.

I just tried to trim Shin Megami Tensai Strange Journey and found that it broke the game!>?
Got white screens at boot off the trimmed version but the untrimmed version I found loads fine wtf..
I've just trimmed this with Tokyo and it seems fine, thats the 1st time I have ever had problems with akaio's trim breaking a rom. Not sure but there could be an error anyway with the copy/paste in RC2. And I have noticed a few memory alloc errors which could also be related. (I'm gonna have to get more info and report it).
