Making ROM dumps?

pretty much with an m3...

 

You can do it with any flashcart and a copy of the game using WRG Dumper v1.4. You can get a copy here: http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=22934

If you just want to dump your saves you can use REIN so that you don't have to start fresh in your games.

It says that can dump GBA games, how is that possible if the GBA slot is taken up by the flashcart?

 

the GBA dump function works by the user alternating the GBA game and flashcart, it will copy 2M to the of the GBA then ask you to insert the Flashcart.

eg.
-Insert GBA game,
-dumper will copy 2M to the DS
-insert flashcart
-Dumper will copy that 2M over
-re-Insert GBA game
-dumper will copy ANOTHER 2M to the DS
ect.

you just alternate carts.

 

I read the G6 can dump games too....I just don't feel like emptying my cart right now to test.

 

Ahh, thats what I was thinking, but I thought all that plugging and unplugging would freeze the DS

 

does this dumper work with a m3 minisd, updated to the latest firmware?

 

and does g6 dumper work? link?

 

G6 works, ds needs to be flashed.

 

do i have to run WRGdumper through the SC converting software or no? As far as i know it is pretty retarded running .gba.ds files

 

Can you dump GBA saves from an original cart this way?

 

I've got another question related to this:

How is it possible to make ROM backups from games you can download from a Download Station at a store?

 

not too sure, but i think you need a specific chipset wireless card (atheros or something like that) to pick up packets. Must be some software involved too..

 

You need that to broadcast them yourself at your home, but I thought it may be possible through a DS app?

 

SD5k:
it works best to have 2 ds systems. one to run the download station as a server and another to download and run the game from (just like you'd do if you were in a store capturing a demo to play it).

rumour has it that download station vol3 will be made available late tonight / early tomorrow

 

I like how this thread has a 2:1 ration of questions:answers, or so it seems to me. So I will add a second question: When you get a game's dump, do you also get the .sav? I'm borrowing Metroid Prime Fusion from my friend, i got far, but now i need something like "infinite energy" to beat the boss I'm at because, face it. I missed half the pickups in the game. And i don't want to have to go through the whole game again, i just want to cheat and walk away from it. (Cheating from loading the .sav onto visualboy, using cheats, save after i beat him, and move the save onto my flashcart, and then returning the original cart to my friend)

 

imgod22222 -> When you save using SuperCard / G6 / M3... it creates a .sav file you can backup

By the way, the WRG dumper doesn't work with SuperCard SD.

 

answers for the questions then:

1. your ds system must be flashme'd in order to capture an image
2. there are 3 different apps out [there] to capture a ds image
3. although the original application was written for the GBAMP and CF M3, it, along with the other 2 programs will work with the G6 lite and supercard flash kits
4. the image that is created is a "clean" image, so you'll still need to use the game manager software associated with your flash kit to run any of the images.

any more questions?
