Hacking Compressed Roms on M3i Zero?

[Dreamo111]

I been wondering about this for a while now.

Is it possible to run NDS-Roms in a compressed State on the M3i Zero Flashcart?

i mean, simply compressing the file to a zip or rar, would that be possible?

could save me a lot of precious microSD-space.

Pretty sure no cart supports that. Let alone have the power to support that. You can trim your roms to save space.

How can i do that? and does it have any side-effects?

Grab a nds rom trimmer. I use NDSTokyoTrim. Put your roms in a folder and trim them all.

I haven't have any side effects so far.

I just tried it.

The Difference in Size is quite amazing, actually.

And it did detect Wifi-programs..... but what does it do when it detects them?

does it stop trimming them or will it simply trim it, but keep wifi enabled?

i heard the wifi-date is usually stored at the end of the ROM and the trimmers sometimes cut it off.

or will it simply trim it, but keep wifi enabled?

you answered your own question

Wow, I never knew that

. Thanks for the information!

oh..... no problem pettingzoo.

sometimes even a total noob on DS can help out a little, i guess

and i meant DATA, not date.

Also remember never to trim patched roms because:

1. They get trimmed when they are patched

2. If a patched rom gets trimmed it pretty much gets trimmed all the way down to 0mb's
