Is it possible to convert a .duc save file from an action replay into a useable .sav file?

To expand on this. I shunyweb.info/convert.php to convert a .duc file to .sav but there are a couple formats for .sav and I haven't found one that works. If one does.

Boxart isn't downloading for me. Even common games (NSMB for example) won't download art or icons, all I'm seeing is a question mark in a box. What could be causing that?

Edit: Off of SD, no flashcart.

Make sure Wireless is turned on.
If it is on, turn off quick start.

I was able to get the .duc converted into a working save file. Just needed to use something other than that website.

1) Can I run DsiWare (in .app format from NUSdownloader)
2) What are the advantages of using TWLoader to boot games from my DS flashcart (rather than just booting the flashcart from the 3ds home menu without TWLoader)? Will they run faster or have DSi enhanced features enabled?
BTW have an R4i Gold 3ds rts and a N3ds

1) No.
2) You can enable TWL clock speed.

Is there any advantage to using twloader to boot games from the DS flashcart as opposed to just using twloader to boot the flash cart itself?

Also, are there any plans for folder/subfolder support?

  • DSi animated icons. (Well, that's also in SRLoader, which can be booted on a flashcard, so that's out, lol.)
  • Box art.
  • NTR/TWL clock speed set per-game.

Now that you mention it, I just added support for that to SRLoader, and will be in the next version.

You can use TWLoader with your R4i Gold to run games at TWL speed AND use higher quality sound.

hi, I have an old 3ds with luma in its latest version, I have installed TWLoader also in its latest version. When wanting to leave a game with L + R + DOWN + B will be stuck on black screen, any solution?

  • 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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
