I don't understand how the gba fast method works, can someone elaborate this?

I don't understand how the gba fast method works, can someone elaborate this?

I would like to know as well. I tried pressing START to load a GBA ROM. And then I tried on the same game, and hit the A BUTTON. It loaded the same speed...

No it doesn't load the same speed. The one you press A is much faster than with the one you press Start.. It's very noticeable..

 

[Jeomite]

I see. I tried it on other games, the speed difference is varies by the ROM.

A little off-topic, but is there an easier way to load into GBA mode on the M3? I normally either hold SELECT and start GBA Mode from the NDS Menu.... or press START during the M3 Menu...

 

[Icarus]

Argh I found it.. The problem is about the patcher, not the firmware. I used the old 3.14 Game Manager to patch the game and now RTS works just fine..

The speed difference probably is more noticeable on larger ROMs. Can someone time roughly how long it takes to load a 256Mb GBA ROM (see list at http://releases.pocketheaven.com/asearch/?...elease&=Search) in both 'normal' and 'fast' modes?

Normal = 31 seconds
Fast     =  12 seconds

Normal = 31 seconds
Fast  = 12 seconds

Thanks. Which ROM was that?

 

[inter4ever]

whats the difference between the fast and normal load for GBA,doesnt both copy the game to the same ram in order to run it,isnt SD cards slow to run GBA which needs a fast memory?
