Just to let you all know:

Firmware 1.61
Software 2.53

(Keep in mind! I always test with the latest Software/Firmware)

Most problems seems to be gone.

The only rom so far stilll with a problem is Ultimate Spiderman (but who cares about such game anyway!)
Also Some games don't like to be booted after an IGR, if you have a problem or black screens, try to power off your DS and power on and boot the same game again, i bet it solves some problems of ppl reporting 2 black screens on game that work fine.

Also note: All updates will be done from now on in the first post (edit) of this threat, to avoid this threat will take mass property

Plz: Post only problems you have, after you have tried the settings from the list and other settings, if your outcome is completely different and i'll get a few repports, i'll retest it all.

Keep in mind, i'm not able to play the games complete out, To understand what i test, i'll explain it.

i test if it boots, then i play till i can save and see if it can save on SC, then i play mostly till the end of the second level, i'll test the rom with every setting seperate (IGR/FPG/Trim) and finally with all settings on, with wifi games i test the online functions to. (since short i also do a crash if you die test) (yeah i play every game, like 5 or 6 times before i'm happy with the result.)

Then i test the rom with save on DS card to determine the save type (not always possible with japanese games, cause i can't read it, so i test and reboot and retest till i got it saved, but sometimes in japanese games it's a bitch to find it.) (and japanese games i sometimes end up rebooting it 10 times again.)

Then when possible i'll try to patch the rom with NDSPatcher or WRG Loadme and flash it to my FA 256mb and also on my F2A Ultra and test it the same way as the supercard test (except for the options specific to the supercard) (and here i play the same game again like 4 times.)

ThX for your understanding

(and don't hestitate to post corrections/ save types/or whatever that can help me!)

So far, I've noticed that Metroid Prime Hunters and Brain Age load their menus and levels very slow under the new firm/software unless the "Faster Game Play" option is enabled. This isn't really a problem, but I figured I'd give anyone who plays these games a heads up!

Sorry to sound dumb, but what does FPG, IGR on the Info on the Compatibility List mean? Or... What does the information on the "Info" column mean? Is that the additional settings?

I'm asking because I can't make Trauma Center to run on my SC miniSD card...

IGR = In Game Reset.. Basically a button combo to go back to the Supercard menu..

FPG = Faster Play Game.. If you had slowdown using the direct loading method then use this which should eliminate it

I have a DSOne & have a question about the SAV sizes in the SUPERCARD Compatibility List:

The column named "Size" is what the SAV file size should be in the DSOne GUI, correct? Most of the games I looked up say they are 512Mbit in size. I find that odd.

The reason I ask is because "0804 - Dead 'N' Furious" would not save the game (it acted like it auto saved fine after each area). I would have to restart at the beginning all the time when playing. I noticed that the SAVE size was "Unknown" in the DSOne GUI so I changed it to 4Mbits for the hell of it. The next time I played I got to a save point, I then turned off the DS & tried the game again & it worked!

I then get the idea to go to the SUPERCARD Compatibility List & check the SAV size & it's 128Mbits, so I changed it to that size. Now the game will not save again.

Are these file sizes always known to work & are they all correct?

I'm just looking for some guidance....

Thanx

EDIT: Also, does the SAV file size have anything to do with how well the game works on the DSOne? I'm guessing no....

    @Sicklyboy I agree, but also it's about self control and realistic thinking. We wouldn't feed a dog soda, so why feed it to ourselves? Eating unhealthy food because it's cheap is one thing, but I'm sure you know people who drink soda routinely when they should be drinking water which is free.
    I get it can feel mean to say "no treat sweet beverage for you anymore" but for many people it's just in their way of life.
