All the patching in BatchGBA works perfect apart from the NES classics which have to be IPS patched. I might have changed something and forgot to update the data in the thread. If you want PM me an email address you use and I'll send you the actual source that I use.

I love this trimmer!

By the way, whenever I run the executable, NDSTokyoTrim takes literally about 30 seconds to actually appear in the taskbar and on the screen.

Is this the same for everyone?

Hey could you add an option to not overwrite files if they exist under "use a different output folder" (i'm afraid to test if it already works like this). It would make it easier to trim directly to a flash card

great trimmer btw!

Doesn't even take a second for me, Vista 64-bit. Where did you download it?

It doesn't work like this, but if the roms are already trimmed (in the source) it detects that and skips them.

Edit: anyway, ill add this option for next rel.

I haven't checked the info thread for a long time, maybe I'm missing something :) I've pmed you my GBA sram code, maybe we can compare both. It's kinda hard to check as I can't test the roms myself so it's all theorical. You guys should make a collect and buy me an adapter imo :P

That would be great! The reason I suggested it is because I like to keep my source ROMs as 100% original (just in case a Trim messes something up) and trim directly to my flash card

I don't know if you mean DS flash card or GBA flash card, but I have a M3 DS Simply laying around that I could send you (If i can find it that is). But not a GBA card.

Hey does TokyoTrim have a command line interface, or at lease arguements? It would be cool to be able to set this to run with a auto ROM sync program I have (meaning after Its copied the roms it would run tokyotrim on the directory)

just tried a ndstokyotrim64.exe /? and nothing. oh well, its not really important

From your website.

It has always done that for me on this PC. I've used several versions.
I've also done a fresh install of Windows on this PC. Weird.

My PC:
2.4 Ghz Pentium 4
512 DDR RAM
Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 128 RAM
Windows XP SP2
