Wi-fi doesn't mean a connection to the internet.

You can use it for internet, by accessing a wifi router or hot spot, just like you could with a network cable. Wi-fi is just a network access, either if it has access to internet or not through a gateway.

so the trimmer cuts off internet? oh well, i can always put the game i wanna go wi-fi on untrimmed.


No, NDSTokyoTrim works fine for all games. It just doesn't delete any WiFi data for online or download play like some trimmers can. It just gets rid of empty space on the ROM so you can cram more games on your card.

For instance, say you have a ROM that, untrimmed is 32megs, but it only has 30megs of actual program, NDSTokyoTrim will remove the 2megs of dead space saving that much space for the next game to fit on your card.
If you have many different games, trimming could mean the difference between fitting 20 games or 25 games on your card. It's all dependent on the games used and the size of your card though.

Thanks to trimming the ROMs, I have 53 games on my 2gig microSD. I'd probably only get about 40 if I didn't trim them.

You have an R4, right? The R4 can't use SDHC (which a 4GB card is) with an R4. The only slot-1's with SDHC support are the
CycloDS Evo, and the DSLink.

And you probably couldn't fit EVERY game dumped yet, but you most likely could fit anything that matters in english

It doesn't include malware check, but it won't delay the process much at all.

Here's another test after some fine tuning:
I use a copy of 8 roms that I have in my hd atm, so you could say there's some file caching involved.. but I assure it will be the same with all different roms.

Test with 4.25 GB, 128 roms:

Savings: ~850 MB

4GB HAAAAAA good luck gettng that to work, the r4 cant play SDHC Cards
The one R4 supplies removes wifi info
retmani doubt that.

No, it does. Try using download play using the R4 trimmer.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
