BUG :

hello mate, when you scan folders with more than 256 games and you choose "process only selected", you can't select roms over the 256th one

Finally got some time to fix this, I'll post a new version today

 

[Feels Good Man]

It corrupted some of my GBA games that I've tried to trim.

: \

Were you using the SRAM patching option?

yeah. I think I was lol

Ah most likely the problem

[BrianTokyo]

Definitely; patching GBA roms for sram can be tricky and unreliable (or either I sucked at implementing it or the info sources did)

 

[BrianTokyo]

Just uploaded the new version 2.16 which fixes the problem with "process only selected" and files past the 256th.

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

I've just PMed you my source. Most of yours went straight over my head to be honest! I think your coding skills are a litte more advanced then mine.

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.

 

[BrianTokyo]

Thanks for the offer, I meant a GBA adapter though

got a R4 and Acekard+ for NDS ones.

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

 

[BrianTokyo]

It only takes a rom or a folder to add to the initial scan through commandline. Actually it's on purpose so it can't be used like that.

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

 

[BrianTokyo]

Try the "64-bit compatible" one, download link in my website. (even if you aren't using a 64 bit OS)

 

[BrianTokyo]

New version up

v2.17
- Option to check for existing files (to avoid overwriting) with “different output folder” option
- Extremelly improved GBA trimming routines, ~10x faster
- Fixed and improved GBA SRAM patching routines

Big thanks to TrolleyDave for his amazing work on analyzing the SRAM patching data.
