Hacking NDSTokyoTrim - batch trimmer with wifi detection

[arctic_flame]

Indeed, cant someone request a topic to be stickied?


And i used the Trimmer to trim the new zelda game t'other day, and used arm7 fix button. the game works on both mine and my bro's DS's, so please don't take it away unless its absolutely compulsary!

1. The trimmer is actually nothing to do with the R4; the only place it could be considered sticky-ing is the "Hardware Devices/ Utilities" forum

2. Zelda doesn't need "the arm7 fix"

 

[thomasroberts6]

Oh, and oh.


I thought because people were having problems with it...

 

[zeppo]

You might want to use that save you have for the arm7-fixed version with the unfixed version, so that the action replay codes will work.

I'd rather this thread stay here than in other forums tbh

I agree. It was made by someone with an r4, for people with an r4 (although it does obviously work with any flash cart).

 

[wiithepeople]

And R4 is probably one of the most active forums on GBAtemp

 

[BrianTokyo]

It's mostly that I've got used to the people posting here being mostly in these forums.. it would feel weird somewhere else

 

[zeppo]

And R4 is probably one of the most active forums on GBAtemp

The R4 subforum is also the most active R4 forum on the internetz (in english). This is why I came to gbatemp in the first place.

p.s. I just noticed that this is page 73!! 73 is my lucky number! It has been since I was little (I forget why...

). Anyway, hopefully this is the page that the new version will be released on!

 

[wiithepeople]

Wow really? It's the most active on the web? Sweet go GBAtemp!!!!

Oh and also BrianTokyo I just noticed the "scan folders" function on your trimmer... It ownz! U didn't forget anything!

But only one little problem... I accidently left the trim window open when I didnt need it. My mom was about to come into the computer room and I closed the window as fast as I could and she didn't see it. WHEW XD
But I still love the BG even though I have to conceal it

 

[BrianTokyo]

Lol. Forbidden stuff makes life more *spicy doesn't it?

 

[wiithepeople]

hell yeah! Hey how do you change the BG by the way? Looking for some more anime BG's when no one's looking over my shoulder

Kinda getting tired of this one...

 

[BrianTokyo]

that comes with next build + a pack of backgrounds ready for it like these: (user Mire made them with the last beta)(nobody else has it)

http://www.j-suki.de/Anime/index.py/bgs

 

[BrianTokyo]

I will upload a Beta today, but I will only post it here, not as an official stable build.

Backgrounds stuff isn't finished, but should be very soon, however not today. Since everything else is finished and I need some feedback.. (mostly about GBA trimming), I'm releasing this beta first.


New stuff:

- 7zip support
- GBA trimming (very basic and rudimentary, don't trust it 100%)
- Auto-check for new version
- Basic bricker check
- Speed improvements
- other minor changes and fixes to the backup/other folder options
- many new checks for improperly trimmed roms
- made DLLs (for unrar and 7zip) load straight into ram, it will not extract them to disk anymore, so you won't see unrar.dll in the app folder anymore
- partial new backgrounds stuff
- rom header info: only for untrimmed NDS files

Notes:

* Backgounds: you can't set a fixed one yet, only try the wizards. I am still working on that so any feedback about it might already be in my to-do list.
* GBA trimming: it's super basic and completely theorical, I can't test it, so please give me some feedback about wrong trims if you can
* Brick protection: this is a very basic check; a through check will be available in batch although it will be quite slow. Again, don't trust it 100%


Possible error messages in the NDS trimming proc:
-----------------------------------------------------------

* ERROR: File doesn''t exist: // you could have deleted the file before trimming..
* ERROR: Incorrect File: // file is smaller than it should
* WARNING: POSSIBLE BRICKER: // basic bricker test
* ERROR: File size mismatch or previously overtrimmed: // file is 0 bytes or was trimmed too much with other trimmers
* ERROR: Previous trimming was wrong. Untrimmed source rom needed: // file was trimmed incorrectly with other trimmers.
The source rom is needed since part of the wifi block might have been removed
* SKIP: File already trimmed (wifi status unknown): // file is already trimmed and we don't know if it had wifi or not (most
probably it didn't, or the wifi block was already included in the rom offset header info, or another trimmer could have removed it)
* WARNING: File was previously trimmed incorrectly (or rom is homebrew). Proceeding to fix: // file was trimmed incorrectly
with other trimmers and it will be fixed, no source rom needed
* SKIP: File already trimmed (WIFI data found): // already trimmed and it has wifi data
* WARNING: File was previously trimmed incorrectly. Proceeding to fix: // file was trimmed including a wifi block for safety, but
there is no wifi data at all so it will be fixed, no source rom needed
* INFO: Wifi game: // Normal rom, wifi data detected
* Error: Memcopy failed: // buy a new computer

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FAQ:

LOL ... This is kind of cool ... lets have ppl submit their bg's and post them on a site

I was thinking of this but I'm sure that no one now has the time to actually moderate the images. Meh ne ways thx for the link. ROFL at the possibility of www.ndsTokyoTrimThemes.com

Is this in Beta?

Thanks BrianTokyo wonderful program.

I kinda need a GBA Rom Trimmer. I guess i trust it 100% since you only need to cut out the 00's and FF's from the Rom, i can do that with a Hex Editer (but it takes a while) I'm sure a powerful program like this can do it also, but quicker

 

[HackNeyed]

I have a few things, thanks, bug report and request...

1st off I think your app is great, so THANK YOU! I'm really happy about the GBA trimming, since I've got the eWin expiation pak I no longer have to mess with save patching and I always keep my clean roms clean rar/ziped and trim them when I copy them to my SD card. So when I have to delete them for space I can always get them back with a simple trim and copy again.

So 2nd of all the bug, back in .50 when using RARs I'd check the "Use a different output folder" and it mostly worked just fine, only problem was it left the un-trimmed roms in the folder where the app was running as well as the trimmed roms in the destination folder. Now, in this beta that problem seems to be taken care of as they no longer show up in the app folder but instead it gives an error "Error: Output file exists" and leaves the non trimmed roms in the destination folder.

3rd is really the only feature I feel is missing and makes me wish other apps were as nice as yours, and they even have out put file problems... Anyway could you add an option to remove the so called "scene numbers" while trimming? You know the 3 or 4 numbers that precedes the game's name. Maybe also taking out extra info in the file names that are put in (parenthesis) like dump groups or hash values and fixing the spacing while keeping more important info?

So something like this,

1234 – Super Happy Fun Time Game (J)(v1.1)(Group)(123123123).nds

Becomes

Super Happy Fun Time Game (J) (1.1).nds

Or maybe just read the Embedded Title like “The Legend of Zeldahantom Hourglass” and just renaming the file as such? Though not the Rom Title as that would make “ZELDA_DSH” and some game's aren't as clear as that. I just think either the file name fixing and/or the embedded title renaming is certainly a way to make names more consistent with save files when moving games on and off.

I just wanted to put that out there. Thank you for this awesome app! If GBA trimming works fine I know I'm going to finally be hooked on your app.

 

[thomasroberts6]

The beta seems to be wokring great with me!


I just used it to trim The Legend Of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass and it played with no problems.


And im very glad about the B/G changer!

[philco1]

So far trimmer works well ... I cant seem to make the trimmer load up my BG on start up. I dont know why, I suppose its an error. Crop wizard seems to work except when you save the file, you need to save it to the picture being modified o/w a save of the file you have edited will not write to the disk.

I look forward to the stable release
