Hacking G6real Questions

[OSW]

Does homebrew still have to be in the card root to work properly?

How are save fiels managed? ie. are they in a "save" folder or in the same folder as the game?

Might someone be able to test what results this gives?

I don't have my G6DSR yet (getting it tomorrow yay

), but I think I might know the answers.

Homebrew is kind of a mixed bag. Apparently some only work on the 8Gb model, and some DLDI homebrew doesn't work at all. I believe auto-patching is only done in the root, but if you use a manual patch, I guess it will be fine.

Save files are in .0, .1 and .2 files. I'm fairly sure they are in the same folder as the ROM file.

Can't do the third one

with me, the 16 Gb doesn't play homebrew at all, only DrumMe but that's not dldi

Homebrew must be in your root folder, because so far, all homebrew I know do not have included header + icon, therefore they do not show up in the NDS games list.

Save files are in .0, .1, and .2 files, meaning the G6 has an integrated multi-save function.

Can't give a full spec of the benchmarking, however, I assure you the G6 is the fastest flash cart on the market as of right now, due to internal memory. It is faster than the DS-X's internal memory as well.
