Ive just ordered a R4, and 1gb Kingston card. Im quite new to all this, and Ive heard a couple of ppl talking bout rom trimmer, I was just wondering what this was, and what the point of using it was? thanx.
Really, it should be "D*mn you, commas!", because the commas are the subject, like you would say "this is my friend, Steve" or "please, feel free to fornicate with my sister, Gloria", or "please damn my smelly hillbilly father, Stinky Whistleteets".
Or smth... I just wanted to be funny Also sorry about the off topic post
Well, I'm currently in the process of putting a few roms on my card right now for when my R4 ships this week (I've got a Kingston 1GB as well) and so far, I've got 17 roms on there (trimmed) and I've still got about 276MB free. Really depends on what the size of the games you're putting on there are, but if you're trying to fit a lot, I'd definitely say to trim them first. There's apparently no disadvantage to doing it, and like I was telling someone in another thread, Pokemon - Diamond (128MB) got trimmed to 58.5MB and FFIII (128MB) got trimmed to 97.9MB. So a lot of games actually do wind up having useless padding space.Thanks Rayout and thaigrocer for the answers. Trying to get 15+ on my card to have a nice variety. I decided to say screw it and go cheap online for my sd versus best buy, so I have a 1gig Kingston coming on Thurs. A bit off topic, but how many roms on average have yall been able to get on a 1gig? And if anyone who hasent' trimmed vs. trimming can answer would be cool.
Nah. Just download the ROM trim tool from the site (link). You just specify the rom path and filename as well as the output path and filename (a default one with _trim appended to it will be automatically generated) and trim.what option should I chose when trimming a ROM? Isnt there 3 options to choose from?
