Review G6 Lite Guides & FAQ!

[jalaneme]

ok, i see the name now, ok so when i edit the game does it have to be within that name limit (shown in the hex editor) or can you put any amount of words in the hex editor? as i don't want to mess up the rom or something.

edit: and how do you actually edit the name? i can't simply click on the letter and edit or right click on it, it's in one of the options but there is too many options...

You can change the rom name and game code without breaking anything, but they have to be the same length. I don't know what would happen if you made it longer, but I doubt it would be anything good. Just make sure it's set to overwrite, not insert, and don't change anything before or after those 16 characters.

The hex editor I use (XVI32) lets me put the cursor at any spot and type whatever I want. I don't have much experience with other hex editors, so I can't help you operate them.

 

[jalaneme]

yep, that was the hex editor i found, i guess i have to get used to this program

thanks for the help anyway.

oh btw

6. Unless you want the PDA, Emulation, etc. files, delete them and the directories they reside in.

can you tell me what files i can delete as i don't know which ones it's talking about, i don't want the calculator emu and pda stuff.

 

[Destructobot]

You can delete every file on the cart and it will still run DS and GBA software.

 

[jalaneme]

ok, thanks that would mean i can delete the movie stuff aswell then

and where can i get some custom skins for the G6 lite?

 

[GBA_Temper]

So we can skin our G6 Lite MENU?? Wow I never seen any skins

The only thing I would want to know is how to put 256mbit games on the g6 lite without the game crashing around 10 minutes into it...
Yggdra Union and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories are the two big ones I've tried... if I trim them below the amount (which I usually remove something vital for it to play properly) then it works fine... and rom compression does not fix it.

did you put the games on there without any patching options like the real time save? maybe you should try to upload the games without anything like that on it.

edit: for anyone who wants to skin their G6 lite i found this awesome website with tons of skins

they are for M3 lite but i'm sure it will work for the G6 lite aswell? website is located here:

http://makkot.altervista.org/page2.htm

they also have skins for the R4 and M3 simply.

edit: i no longer have to use a hex editor to edit the names of my gba games a simple program called flash advance linker v8 lets me do it's much easier without going through thousands of numbers and letters lol

FAT sort organises your gba roms in alphabetic order:

[IAmTheRad]

Tried without patching options, tried copying directly. No dice.

i'm a little concerned then as i like kingdom hearts

ah no worries then i will just play those games on my old gba flashcart, other games that i play that will be affected are:

pokemon mystery dungeon, sims 2 and the urbz sims in the city

 

[WishCow]

Yggdra Union works for me perfectly, I'm somewhere around level 10.

hmm maybe IAmTheRad has a defective G6 like then? i just searched on a couple of forums and they seemed to have a similar problem with DS roms aswell, anything over 256mbit will not load at all, they said that part of the G6 lite's memory went dead or has gone bad basically, if you purchased the G6 lite recently can't you contact the place where you brought the G6 lite and get a exchange?

edit: this was the topic i was talking about

Is there a tread somewhere with settings to get certian games to work
havent tried till today since mario and kong2 and ff3 came out
but no luck with newer roms today

was trying to get a neo3 to work with no success

so then I fig I try some the newer roms that came out battleship/pogo/lunar no go on my g6

 

[Destructobot]

First, make sure you're using the latest firmware & U-disk manager.

If the U-disk manager gives you the option to use 'force R/W', use it. If DoFat doesn't work, try safe mode(with force R/W if possible). Try disabling soft reset, that helps with some games.

 

[gatorade]

thanks for the guides!

 

[IAmTheRad]

I have no problems with NDS. It's only on the GBA side.

 

[jalaneme]

received the G6 lite this morning, and when i put the insides in the normal GBA casing the bottom right side of the gba casing is slightly open (tiny gap)

anyone else experience this when they first got their G6 lite?
