Side Info:

- I use R4 Latest Kernel [English]
- For slot-2 I use 3in1 Expansion

1. Can I compress my NDS Roms [Not Trim]?
2. Can I compress or Trim my GBA Roms?
3. Does WEP key encryption cause any issues with some homebrew or nds roms?

Please tell me program names and stuff if you know any, thanks!

1. You can't compress NDS roms, only trim them.
2. I believe you can compress and trim GBA roms, but I'm not too sure on this.
3. So far, I haven't had any problem with WEP on any of my homebrew games so I don't think there should be any issues.

You can compress/decompress files in your DS using a homebrew app called DSCompress though.

In my experience, WEP key encryption has never caused any issues with my WiFi homebrew/commercial games.

    Hey, odd question, what is the life span of a samsung microsd in a raspi running raspi os and pihole?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Depends on use for some reason but I avoid any SD card that doesn't have a 2 year warranty

    Sounds fair, don't think I can be arsed sending a small microsd in for warranty but eh
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I'd assume cards that run 24/7 with constant write transfers would fail quicker

    I have a question about Medicat if anyone can answer.. My windows install is corrupt and wont boot. Does Medicat allow you to run DISM online or do an inlace upgrade? Trying to do some sort of repair install or recovery without a fresh installation
