Hacking I can't get Super Mario Adv. 4 to work w/ my EZFla

[Saf1]

I'm new to all this, so someone might have to walk me through it.

Just to clear things up, I have a DS Lite, an R4, and just got he EZFlash 3-in-1

So far I've tried running the rom through NDStation, which gave me a .gba file, but that didn't work.

I then tried some rudolph tool to patch it in the DS, but that didn't work either.

Both times I got an error saying something like "Corrupted Save File". I just got the EZFlash, and so I have no clue how to do any of this. If someone could guide me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Also, I've tried going through the wiki, but I get completely lost.

last time i tried playing that game on a flash cart it said corrupt save but it played saved and loaded just fine. have you actually tried playing yet or does it not get that far?

Use GBATA to SRAM patch the game (on your computer) and Rudolph's Tool to load it from your DS.

Could you explain to me how to do this?

I have the file loaded onto GBATA in the SRAM Patcher tab. Under "Save as" I put Super Mario 3. Now I have a file, but no extension for it.

You're supposed to leave the extension intact when you save as...

DUH!

And if you still don't get what I mean, put: "Super Mario 3.gba" in the save as part.

Wow, thanks. This really did fix it. Awesome. Just a few more questions though.

1. How do I get rid of the border around the GBA game? It says like R4 GBA Loader or something.

2. I don't understand the whole temporary permanent memory thing. So if I save it onto the EZ Flash, I... I don't understand it at all really.

3. Do I do this same process with every game?

4. Are there any games that don't work?


Thanks again you guys, you've been really helpful.
