Hey Gericom! Even tho people are saying GBARunner2 doesn't corrupt the SD card, it does (I think). I downloaded the latest one from WikiTemp and it still freezes Metroid Zero Mission and Pokemon Ruby at random times and now after it freezed after a few times, I can't play Metroid Zero Mission at all. PSA: DON'T TRY FIXING YOUR SD WITH THE WINDOWS UTILITY, IT'Ll MAKE IT WORSE! (My SD card got corrupted and wouldn't boot into main menu so I tried fixing it with windows aaaand now HiyaCFW says my launcher .tmd is too large...)
Did you try the version without cache? I'm currently working on save patches that should fix lots of games with cache. If a game boots first time and not second time (after saving), it's usually a cache issue.
New release from the sd_save branch (8175479, 10-06-2019)
Fat16 support
Intergrated save patches for most save types and versions (should fix a lot of cache issues as well), this means sram patches are not needed anymore for most games. Note that some games may take a bit longer to boot, because of the patching
Fixed dma bug where the upper half of 32 MB roms wrapped to the lower 16 MB part (fixes spyro, probably also the cause of some of the regressions on the wiki)
Save files are now generated of the right size (except for most eeprom games, it will usually be 8kb as 512 cannot be easily detected)
For the save patches, the only important one still missing is FLASH1M_V103. I still need to figure out what changed from 102 to 103 to make it work.
The posted version runs fine on my DSi with the ARM7 version.
If I compile the sd_save branch myself with the latest dev-stuff installed via dkp-pacman and setting the ARM7 flag in common_defs.s it freezes after the boot animation.
Tried both the arm7 and arm9 versions with Twilight++. White screen for both. On 3DS latest twilight version just replaced the gbarunner2.nds and GBARunner2_wramicache.nds.
Thanks for the fix. If you can figure out the FLASH1M_V103 problem, then my saves for Game & Watch Gallery 4 & Narikiri Dungeon 3 will work again. Yu-Gi-Oh! Expert 2 booted fine on the updated version posted so good work so far. I'll keep the former 2 games on the older November 2018 build for now. The Release Lister for Narikiri Dungeon 3 is an EEPROM_V124 64Kbit to let you know. It generated a new save as the old one wasn't recognized. It works on the older build perfectly though.
Also, I used the Lister to check Gensou Suikoden Card Stories and there's no save type at all! I double checked using GBATA and the same info came up with NONE as save type. It's no wonder why I can't rip it using the R4 Rom Dumper tool because without a type, you can't get to it and it wouldn't even let me rip the rom itself which is a non issue in my eyes. What the hell was Konami thinking? I'd have to start over again using the English patch for the game and I wanted to use my save to do it but oh well.
Arm7 version works great, but arm9 doesn't boot at all... Also one more problem, Metroid ZM won't start after saving in the arm7dldi version (I played quite a bit before deciding to restart my dsi and now it just hangs at a white screen after the gba bios)
Can somebody please explain how to get this latest build working from Twilight Menu ++ on 3DS. Managed to get GBARunner2 to start but every time I load a game it gets about 30 seconds onto it then crashes (Yes EVERY Game!)

@Gericom I played around a little and only changing the installed DevkitARM isn't enough to make it compile correctly.
I used the windows builds with msys2 shell as only those old versions of devkitARM were still downloadable somewhere.

Rayman Advance works afaik. Rayman 3 as well iirc. Wario Land sadly has a timing issue with that end of level portal. It may be possible to get past it once an ingame menu has been implemented.
I need some help I'm getting an error and i don't know how to fix.
It says that cant find the file main even though it is in the folder how do i fix it?
he said this: "James & the Giant Peach is so unrealistic because peaches aren't giant in real life. Roald Dahl really should have done some research before writing this terrible and unrealistic book. Entire generations of kids have probably been ruined because they thought that peaches could be really big."
@SylverReZ Hey!! just wanted to thank you! I indeed can't access the link you gave me for updating my signature xD so i guess i don't have enough rank, anyways, thank you so much for the help!
