Hey there. I don't really know if this belongs here or to DS section. Anyway. My problem is, that when I play New Super Mario Bros with my friend (both of us having flashcart), the game extremely lags (like running good for 3sec and then 5-1FPS, but music is OK) the signal status bar shows low signal, but we are like 10cm within each other. When we were playing with an original card (we had only 1 so via download play) it was working totally normally (no lag at all). What might be wrong? Any suggestions please and thanks :D

More info:
His card: 2017 R4ISDHC Gold Pro
Mine card: R4i GOLD 3DS RTS
His 3DS: O3DS
Mine 3DS: N3DSXL

Edit: If anyone can change title of this thread please rename it to this: Mario Bros lag (flashcart)

How does mario kart ds run?

my nephew and I use our B9S luma N3DS's, mine with R4igoldRTS and his with the very original R4 from 2006 using a custom launcher. There was no problem with mario kart ds, we'll try new super mario bros when he next comes round

That is the class speed of your microSD card?
Did you try backing it up and formatting it with
This: SDFormatter
With these settings?
FORMAT TYPE : FULL (OverWrite). FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT : ON

The 3DS should not be causing lag with your DS games, even with the flashcart.

Its class 4
No, I haven't formatted it.
Don't know what causes it, but the signal bar was showing low signal (when lag occurred)

I always suggest formatting drives right out of the box. It doesn't always fix the problem, but it does help eliminate format issues right from the start.
Class 4 is fast enough for something like this. Does this issue happen with 3DS games?

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.

    I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
