Firstly - THANK YOU for creating such a fantastic trimming tool for os x.
*No peado-hentai bg's
*Full OS X support
*Works brilliantly on a lowly PPC 1.67Ghz (that I use)
*Previously got about 40ish unttrimmed roms (with space for homebrew too) on my 2Gb card, now can fit 50ishÂ
*LOVE the database sytem that provides info on the Rom'sÂ
*LOVE the fact that I get a clear view of the space used/unused and how much is saved per rom
.....I could go on and onÂ
, sufficde it to say, this is a GREAT additon to my R4.
A couple of things to let you know (am using 10.4.10 with all updates on a PPC 1.67Ghz PB G4):
When I first used it, I found that after the first trim (I have "safe trim" and "auto-trim" ticked in prefs), it would subsequently fail/crash on every subsequent attempt. Closing and reopening the app wouldn't help, the only way to get it to work was a complete uninstall (actualy, deleting the pref files....or rather all files
other than the .app via appzapper). Then again it would work for the first trim only.
How was it fixed? Not sure why, but after I passed the prog through XSlimmer (which strips away the uneccessary intel code from any app - if you have an intel mac, it will strip away uneccessary PPC code), it has since worked flawlesslyÂ
. I'm not sure why this is (maybe Xslimmer does something else too?????Â
), but just to let you know that this is a possible fix for others if they have this issue.
Do you have any input in the rom database that is contacted? The reason I ask is that I have 2 roms (Game & Watch collection, and Tingle's Balloon fight) which, because they are Club Nintendo Japan exclusives (but you can get them on ebay) they don't show up with any info. It would be nice to have details appear as they are both staying on my DS (they're great games). Apologies if the database is nothing to do with you, but I was hoping those games would be included.
Finally, any chance to give a more detailed view on how the save game backups work? I'm probably being dense here, but I assume you can set Rominator to auto-backup the latest save games (if they're altered) from the DS. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this to happen and also can't find any info on your site/the readme. Any help would be appreciated as at the momnet, I'm simply manually drag'n'dropping each individually from card to mac (so I would love it to be automatic as and when I press a button in rominator for instance).
Anyway, thanx again for this brilliant app and keep up the good workÂ
