Hacking savsender elapsed time

[kevin1st]

hi everyone. i just got my acekard in the mail today and immediatly after set up i went to dump my mario kart sav file from my retail card to my acekard. i used savsender with savreciever and although i had several error things pop up i seemed to have pushed through to sending EEPROM contents. it has been sending them for over 3 hours now and i have 11 rows of dots. is this normal? i want to know if i should just let it do its thing overnight or just abort it now because something is wrong. thanks for you help.

If you are using a DSi it won't work.

Otherwise try Savreceiver as the PC side, or There's also SavSender Server

There's a very good guide to using SavSender on PocketHeaven and another one on the CycloDS forums.

im just using a ds lite. so 3 hours is unusual. and do these error messages mean anything. my ds says

Error determining EEPROM size!
Done!
Press a to dump...ect
.

edit: and im currently using savreciever. would you recommend savserver or the one using command prompt and nc.exe like the wiki said to do.

The connection error means it won't work, just quit it now and try saturn's other suggestions.

I'd double check 192.18.2.4 is the IP of your PC, also check wireless isolation isn't enabled in your router's settings page.

alright i fixed it. i just did it on a computer hard wired to the router and it went through perfectly. it only took a few seconds to dump to.
