It's "bios.bin", and that's not what "TAFN" means.
"BINF" means that the BIOS isn't found.

Format your SD card to FAT32.
sorry for the wait, but everytime i boot a rom, it freezes on the start up screen (im using a .ds.gba file)

For People (like me) who got previously "Unable to mount SD Card" OR "TAFN3DS sd card áb áb áb áb áb áb áb áb" OR just white freeze.
And ONLY for people (like me) who use a SD 2GB Sandisk (Normal/Ultra II) or less (To keep Original Nintendo DSi BIOS)

Here is finally a solution :
Do NOT use any SD Formater software it will NOT work at all on a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB (i tried a lot of them with no luck).

Code:
0) Backup every files of the SD Card
1) Use win32diskImager and read all bytes of the SD Card to a file
2) Use hxDwD and fill with 00 every hex values
3) Use win32diskImager and write all bytes from the file to the SD Card
4) Delete the primary partition under diskpart (cmd) or Computer Management
5) Launch again diskpart from the cmd
6) Type command : List drive
7) Type command : select drive 3 (if the SD card is 3)
8) Type command : clean
9) Type command : create primary partition
10) Format the SD Card with Windows to FAT32 Cluster 16Ko (yes 16ko not anything else) (Full erase) (NOT using a SD Tool => will not works with 2GB Sandisk Ultra 2)
11) Copy all backuped files back into the SD
12) Now GBARUNNER2 is no longuer display error or freeze !!!!!!

Now any 512mo, 1GB, 2GB SD Card will works fine :nds::gba: (unless they were compatible with the DSI/3DS before).

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
