GBA ExpLoader 0.0

[leetdude_007]

Interesting. I wonder how on-the-fly patching and PSRAM combination will flesh out with time.

I wish I had my DS with me to test it out (I haven't seen that thing in over 2 months). Crap, back to the wiki, that super-inaccurate wiki...

Google Translate is nuts:

GBA ExpLoader V0.1 ====== ====== (prototype)

Slot2 type expansion pack, using the GBA Slot-1 card game starts.

Soft reset is possible in Slot-1 card, "DS cartridges vibration" and "extended memory DS"
You can use it as.

Currently, the type of support it Slot2 expansion pack, "3 in1 expansion pack."



1. 256Mbit (32MByte) NORfalsh page size is 1Mbits (128KB)
2. 128Mbit (16MByte) PSRAM page size is 1Mbits (128KB)
3. 4Mbit (512KByte) SRAM page size is 64Kbits (8KB)




"GBA_ExpLoader.NDS" is the response so DLDI use according to the Slot-1 card
Please patches (usually simply because it operates automated patch.)

SD root, "/ GBA_SAVE" and "/ GBA_SIGN" Create a folder.
Turn on the GBA files (any place in a good position.)
"/ GBA_SAVE" folder, files and GBA into the same file name SAV
(SAV files if you do not have the same name as a new file in the GBA file will be created in SAV).
GBA when you start if you want to use frames, gbaframe.bmp (8 bit or 24bit)
Root, "/ GBA_SIGN ","/_ system_" folder please either (listed in order of search).

(Mode PSRAM)
: SAVE's current SRAM is not backed by the SAV file backup.
GBA SRAM selected files to patch after PSRAM writes.
Also, the GBA's SAV files SRAM writes.
PSRAM from GBA to start.
: SAVE's current SRAM SAV files to the backup only once.

: Backup, writes SRAM.BIN to SRAM.
: All SRAM (512KB), the SRAM.BIN file backup.

PSRAM file can be run and the size of the 16 MByte (more accurately, KB 16000).

The screen is not showing the reset is supported by the card in the
GBA's return to the boot menu instead.

??????SAV files of the case, once a backup (or a different game
PSRAM start) after the SAV files reflect that shift.
The same game, even if you continue to make every SAV writes to the file SRAM.


(Mode NOR)

: SAVE's current SRAM SAV files to a backup.
GBA selected patch files after SRAM NOR writes.
Also, the GBA's SAV files SRAM writes.
: SAVE's current SRAM SAV files to a backup.
: NOR's current GBA SAV files for SRAM writes.
: Use NOR mode, GBA (Slot-2) to start.

GBA's boot (Slot-2) is a stand alone expansion pack up and exactly the same behavior.


(Extended Edition)

SAVE type is not the type SRAM, SRAM automatically????patches.
SRAM patch support it follows the format of SAVE.
EEPROM_V111, EEPROM_V120, EEPROM_V121, EEPROM_V122, EEPROM_V124
FLASH_V120, FLASH_V121, FLASH_V123, FLASH_V124, FLASH_V125, FLASH_V126
FLASH512_V130, FLASH512_V131
FLASH1M_V102, FLASH1M_V103
SAV file size is the actual size and SAVE. However, the type EEPROM
8 KB or nearby the 512B is impossible to determine with any 8 KB.
SAVE impossible to determine the type (including without SAVE), the type SAVE assumption that type SRAM
We deal with (SAV file size is 32 KB).
SAV actual file size of the data is valid from the beginning, if it can be significantly.
SAV files, file the same name as GBA "GBA_SAVE" folder will be created.
Starting from the second speed SRAM patches for the patches analyze information
"/ GBA_SIGN" created as a file folder SGN.

I'd say stay with the old tool and patching procedure while Rudolph spills out his magic.

so should I just keep on using cory's GBALdr? Or should I try using this?

If you've got a new hw version 3in1, I'd stick with Cory's ATM as the only changes that he made to his loader were to recognize the new 3in1 hw. Rudolph's made ALOT of changes with his new app, but there appear to still be problems with it ATM. Once fixed, though, I'd say back to Rudolph's app as auto-patching of clean ROMs is an awesome feature. (The eWin Expansion Pack loader does this auto-patching as well, and someone had hacked one of their old versions to work with the 3in1, but it was never updated again AFAIK.)

How on earth do you use GBA ExpLoader?

 

[Rudolph]

GBA ExpLoader V0.2 was released.


*The bugs of the extension of the SAV file was canceled.
*The SAVE size of the game of the BIN file and UNKNOWN was changed to 64KB.

EZ5 can reset software.
However, because "3in1 expansion pack" is initialized by the kernel menu,
it is not possible to use it as rumble/ram expansion.
Therefore, it removes from the support.

Thank you Rudolph.
I think it's more stable now.
Now I can save games on homebrew games without problem.
Super mario advance 4 works like charm too.

Now it's easyer to identify if you are on psram or nor mode.
But I think it's better if color of flames would be changed too.

Anyway, thank you Rudolph.

What does this mean - i have a new EZ5 and I want to use it as the ram/rumble - am i not going to be able to do that at all?!

So is this work with Opera Browser too? I just bought my 3in1, and don't know much about how to use it with Opera Browser. Anyone tried it yet? Do I need to patch the browser first?
And when I am using the GBAldr, I cant seem to flash games to the SRAM (4M games), could I do this with this new loader?

 

[victorlammy]

I tried it last night, both GBA and rumble works very nicely. I am still fussy about how the saving works tho. Did not try out the opera browser yet, as I am still not sure if I need the patched version of opera, I only got the clean rom, and my R4 is full now.

It would be good if some one can shed me some light on how is the save work, not quite understand the options: restore; backup all the SRAM data; copy save from SRAM bla bla bla.
