Homebrew does ROM Trimming do anything to gameplay?

[philip11]

Just wondering.

 

[DarkStriker]

Nope. I believe it only removes the unused space on the rom.

One other thing I played a game for a while and If I trim the ROM will the .SAV File work with the trimmed ROM?

 

[s4mid4re]

Yes, it will work.

Although there are times when my ak2i won't play trimmed dsi games (always white screens), I think that was a bug with NDS Tokyo Trimmer. But it has the ability to skip dsi games, so no problem.

Thank you both very much

By design it shouldn't, but some trimmers had issues with DSi-enhanced games. The recent trimming utilities have that fixed, but there's still a risk of something going wrong.

Though, if it tells you anything I trim all my games and don't run into issues...

eh? I heard tokyotrim's author has fixed the dsi issue in new version... not yet?

Also sometimes cheats may not work, tough I don't have recent info about trimming
I had to repack the game (Japan Voices I wanted) and the tools trimmed it without asking me first, that killed cheats out, I don't mind that, nobody will accuse me of using cheats xD

It is fixed.

In fact I don't know if any trimmers that don't have it fixed.

I'm using the R4 DS ROM Trimmer from the website
