Hacking Huge 1.12 Suggestion

[sooobs]

So I have an R4 and the one thing I want the R4 to have in the next update is Real-Time Saves. This is the only thing that makes me want to get a CyloDS Evo. So if the R4 team could do this, it could save me some money.

Is there anyone else who supports my suggestion? I would appreciate positive feedback.

Thanks

the only thing is, it's a "planned" feature of CyloDS Evo.

we don't know if it'll ever come out or if it's even plausible.

plausible..

What is a Real Time Save?

probably it means that you can save whenever you want, but i'm not sure.

I don't know...the R4 doesn't have any extra memory on the card, so I'm not sure it it would be possible. The Cyclo Ds Evo on the other hand DOES have some memory built-in to the card (like...2megs, if I'm not mistaken), so it's likely possible on that card.

But if it IS possible, that would be a good deal.

It means save anywhere and continue the game from wherever it might have been that you left off. Like how most slot2 cards have real-time save.

I would assume that the save would be placed on the microSD cards...

Yeah but it would have to have some of the surrounding codes to know what the save was about....to know where to jump you back into the game form...

Is it something like save-states in Emulators? that sounds awesome.

 

[zahimi]

it is save state just like in emulators!

 

[superrob]

Yup sadly the slot2 cards only got realtime save/load for GBA games..
And the Cyclo team must hurry i want the featrue for my Cyclo soon

All memory on the GBA is mapped which makes it very easy to read off and store, the DS on the other hand has several "write only" registers and a few sections not mapped making it a bit harder to pull off easily (you would have to intercept and note the writes which is potentially damn near impossible: some stuff gets loaded "on boot" and resides for quite some time.

 

[sooobs]

So it could work if there is memory on the R4 or if theres a specific folder on the micro sd?

It's just like VirtualBoyAdvance! Ahhhh... good times... I remembered playing Mario Tennis and use the save every single time I score.

 

[JacobReaper]

but ya, i would love to have real time saves..

It should be possible if they can turn on and off the cheats ingame as this system must be running in the background for this to take affect then they must be abile to creat a save state on the card though it will not have a menu but a button combination like L,R,Select,Left to save and L,R,Select,Right to load but this would mean you are limited to one save state at a time per game.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking because of the cheats.

 

[xcalibur]

perhaps the new acecard can pull it off?

if i were to make any suggestions for 1.12 it would be this

1.wii connectivity
2.more refined cheat system(a la scds1)
3.the ability to have different views in the file viewer

the GUI was THE reason i passed up the R4 over my SCDS1
