Anyone on a mac using the supercard ds one? Have had the horrid ds-x for the past year and it's getting old. I mean, I can patch my games, but that means running between two and sometimes three computers for each game.

So yeah, am I going to hate my life trying to use my mac and this card? I understand updates to the card may need to be done via the windows machine, but for putting games on the card, drag and drop right? I'm not doing any GBA stuff, just DS roms and maybe a little homebrew..

I use OSX only, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone else who uses OSX. Everything from firmware updates to copying games is all drag-and-drop, and if you find a trimmer in need you can always use DS Trimdrop. (Not the best tool, but it works anyway)

If for some reason you still are on OS9, everything will work, but you will have no way to trim your roms unless you make your own tool. It wouldn't take that long if you could get a working copy of codewarrior, since you can get all the code freely from the public, and the only thing you would need to do is work on a interface.

Thanks for the reply, was wondering if I would have been the only one, hah. I'm on tiger right now, thinking about going to leopard, we'll see, wait for a few more updates from Apple to work out some of the early kinks as usual.

I'll probably wait another week or two before paying for the supercard, just wait to see what the other guys to as far as updates. I'm sure the cyclo/m3/R4 guys will have the RTS soon.

But thanks for the reply cynthia!

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
