Thanks mc_B3oWoLF, I already updated the Mini-Sakura FAQ with this half an hour ago

Just tried the official Sakura. It's incredible! I haven't noticed a massive increase, but the font is definitely different (could be because of the modified SYSTEM folder provided here, though). Skin support... no huge difference. The loading screen is sexy though. DPG movie playback seems... slightly worse, to be honest. Now, my converted video from YouTube (Angeal and Genesis vs Sephiroth from Crisis Core) actually freezes a little and skips (video only, sound is still fine). All the others seem fine. Music... no change in playback. Games... no change, except they seem to load faster. Homebrew... still sucks. However, I don't get halt error messages; just a boot to two white screens... and it deleted my AmplituDS save!!! Damn... gotta start over in that. I haven't checked my other homebrew games though. Hope they're still ok. From now on I'll be using this version of Sakura for my homebrew list, and I'll definitely be making a video review on it!
 
Need help.

Ok I've been trying to get this .dpg movie converter that comes with the .exe to work, mainly to try out the preview pix option, but as I try to convert .avi files, the program gives me an error massage shortly after the audio is converted. I have tried a verity of .avi's but no luck. I have also looked through the FAQ but not nothing I all ready didn't know.
 
Well, I'd advise to create DPG videos by SUPER ©

By the way, If anyone needs, there's a link to the skinning utility for latest sakura.
M3 Sakura SkinMake Skin Generator v1.3 I've found there, in the resources directory one new image-file (with text in it), that is used by the skin. It's in Japanese, so I couldn't translate it. (I've got no Japanese for my OCR)
 
Anyone can help me?
I'm testing 1.34, first time it worked, but I accidentally power off during Animated Logo.
Now when I turn it on again, it stucks in Now Loading Screen.
But when I press the A button, and enter using Touchpod, it still worked.
I've tried formating the MicroSD (4Gb, Kingston Japan Class 4), still not working.

KH, it kinda froze on me once. When you select Sakura, hold A then release after a bit. That fixed it for me.

Still not working, I've entering boot-screen, select Sakura, press & hold A button. and release it until Now loading screen. And it still froze, no animation logo.

I kept getting a "floating point division by zero" error, and I noticed that I only started experiencing this problem after I updated to 1.34 2nd edition. Then I re-downloaded 1.34 1st edition and used that DSM encoder, and it works perfectly for me now.

(I've got no Japanese for my OCR)I can translate it if you guys want it, but I imagine that there's not much change in the skin's text from v1.12+1. I'll take a look though. If it's all the same I'm not going to bother. mercenary96 already has English skin source files available in the Skin Downloads.

Did you try dragging a brand-new SYSTEM folder to your card after formatting?
 
@KH: That's really weird. However, I held the A button while the now loading screen was showing then released. Try redownloading the file again, it could be that one of the files in the .7z was corrupted.
 
I uninstalled the US.exe and tried with the Jap.exe the error message was identical except for the wording in the C:\ you can discover for yourself.

The Text box Error says

Cannot create file "C:\Program Files\GBalpha\M3 SAKURA V1.34
Japanese (GAME PATCH V4.2d)\dsmencplugin\ssrc.bat". Access is
denied.


So why is this ssrc.bat file corrupted or what...

Yeah, after formating I'm dragged the SYSTEM folder to MicroSD, I've tried the original Firmware and the one with Updated Touchpod, both not working.

Yeah, It's weird, at first I thought the GBA-Expansion pack isn't inserted correctly, but when I pulled it out and using nothing, still not work.
But more strange thing is when I'm using 1.12+1 the screen is also froze!
Btw my DS-Lite is based on Korea. When I pulled out the Flashcart and entering DS firmwarre, the languange is Korean.
Is there a problem with US Flashcart with non-english DS-Lite? My old DS is broken, so I bought new one. But I didn't realize that it was korean.
The touchpod is working, but now both Sakura 1.12+1 and 1.34 is not working.

Ok, I'm going to try downloading again, but still, the weird thing is 1.12 is also frozen.

Access denied? Sounds to me you don't have administrative rights on your computer's account. Try logging in as an admin and try again.
 
@KH-Roms: Yeah, let us know how it goes. Hope you have better luck!





In other news, this guy figured out how to get DSOrganize to work in M3 Sakura!

It works, I just tried it and it loads up, no infamous white screens!

I've already done all of the steps he outlined in his thread, and repackaged DSO.

Just download this and put it on your cart:

Mirror 1
Mirror 2
Densetsu, are both of those mirrors the same? And, do you mind if I throw this on my Sakura homebrew compatibility list?
Also, can I use my original DSOrganize folder and just replace the DSOrganize.nds file and add the fshl folder?

Yep, both mirrors link to the same file.

I don't mind at all, please add it to the compatibility list! You might want to test it yourself first though, since I'm using a non-beta Japanese firmware.

I don't see why you can't use your own DSO folder. I think all you really need is the DSOrganize.nds and fshl folder.

And I did get your PMs, I'm going to respond to them right now

This is vista, I am the admin. I all ready tried to right click and run as admin, but then it doesn't detect the drag and drop.

Ah, the fails of Vista. What you gotta do then is disable User Account Control. That disables that annoying Cancel/Allow crap too.
1. Click Start, then Control Panel.
2. Switch to classic view.
3. Double-click User Accounts.
4. Click "Turn User Account Control on or off"
5. Turn it off and reboot your computer when it asks you to do so.

Try that and see if it works. If you get the same error, just follow the steps again to re-enable UAC.

I just checked the files in that link and it's all in Chinese, so I can't translate it.
