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.

    One of the keyshops is 95% off at the moment (probably humble bundle keys)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
