it only asks for the update if you
a) go into the shop
b) manually select updating.

if it asks for the update just turn it off and play games after restarting or w/e

I don't think so. It's not like Sony. How would people update if they don't have an internet connection?

EDIT: Silly grammatical errors.

Maybe like putting the update on retail cards, and that it install or something when inserted. ( Not even sure if this is possible tho )

I highly doubt that would ever happen. Not everybody owns a DSi, some people still have the DSPhat and the DSLite.

I still have mine DS Phat. Though wanting to switch to XL.

Nintendo can't force update through game cartridge, cause Phat and Lite's firmware are not 100% rewritable.

There's not much point in switching. The 3DS will be out soon. Save your money for that.

Problem is that 3DS only has 3.5 inches of screen. DSi XL 4.2 inches of screens.

I really want a bigger screen. Unless Nintendo comes up with a 3DS XL.

Yeah but the 3DS is 3D! I would happily give up size for 3D.

Oh well I do apologise. Anyway back on track. I really don't see Acekard fixing this to be honest. It seems the official team is slightly dead.

Yeah. All teams are dead now: M3, DSTT, AK...

Actually: They never where alive. They sold dreams. Dreams others worked for. And now others are going to fix this? I'm not quite sure about this.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
