(iSakuReal v1.7 with M3Sakura v1.41 2ndEdition). dsrules, I was shocked because it only worked for me and decided investigate.The conclusion that only works with the expansion pack memory.G6Lite and M3GBAexpansionpack works perfect.You can verify this? Thank you.

 

[dsrules]

amaro, no wonder! I almost never uses the GBA expansion pack
after testing, indeed it works! nice found!!

so that means, now people could make a Triple boot for Sakura 1.41 if they want to

 

[amaro]

You can update iSakuReal for iTouch3.3 soon?

 

[dsrules]

you want iSakuREAL = Sakura 1.12+ & iTouch 3.3 & Touchpod 4.3j
or Sakura 1.41 & iTouch 3.3 & Touchpod 4.3j

anyways, to update iTouch to 3.3


1. google this: iTouch_ENG_BAT.rar
2. unzip it to a folder on your pc
3. copy iTouch.eng and it_firegame.eng from 3.3 to the same folder
4. run iTDSeng.bat to get a modified version of both files
5. copy iTouch 3.3 to your microsd
6. copy the modified iTouch.eng and it_firegame.eng to your iTouch folder

Wow...I'm shocked I thought he was just some noob coming in and asking why we don't add the latest sakura to isakureal but he actually figured out a way around it and made it work 0.0

I'll try this with my rumble expansion if I can find it and get back to you.

dsrules im coming up with dead ends with the iTouch_ENG_BAT.rar file, and with this do i have to just copy defaulty.nds file and the iTouch folder into my SD, so i can boot to the iTouch firmware with Sakura 1.41?

 

[dsrules]

all you need to patch are the 2 files from iTouch 3.3
iTouch.eng and it_firegame.eng
keep the defaulty.nds untouch

every firmware update only updates a few files, sort your new firmware files by Date and copy all the newest files (8/09-9/09) to your microsd overwriting the older ones then copy the patched iTouch.eng and it_firegame.eng to your microsd iTouch folder

thank you so much for mentioning "iTouch_ENG_BAT". I tried to use the first JPN version and it didn't go too well.

Found it fast too.

a huge help for my (obsessive) purposes.

thanx again.

 

[amaro]

dsrules,new TripleBoot should be called iSakuRAM what do you think?

 

[dsrules]

amaro, name it to whatever you like if you're going to compile one when the newer fimware comes out

 

[amaro]

(Sakura 1.41_iTouch 3.3_Touchpod 4.3j) new knowledge: highlight and long touch or slides to options in Touch-Screen its looding too...

Is it hard to make sakura skins without graphical skills? I wanted to make one by resizing some images and putting em all together.As long as the images are the same dimensions as the template files, have the same file names, are saved in the same format (BMP/PNG) and are the correct bit size, the skin maker should be able to compile it into a skin. But I've never made a skin, so someone else would be able help you more thoroughly than I ever could.

Just format your MicroSD card and create two folders in the root of the card: "NDS" and "GBA." Then drag the SYSTEM folder onto the root of the card as well (make sure NOT to put it inside either of the folders you just created). Put all your .nds files in the NDS folder and your .gba files in the GBA folder. You should also note that GBA ROMs won't load unless you also have the GBA Expansion Pack (or EZFlash V 3-in-1) inserted in Slot-2.

If you only plan on using the Sakura GUI, you can actually name the NDS and GBA folders whatever you want. But if you want to switch back and forth between Sakura and TouchPod, you'll have to name the folders NDS and GBA in order for TouchPod to load ROMs properly.

Welcome to the 'Temp and happy birthday!

 

[darkmasterofssbb]

thnx for the happy birthday and it realy will help
but do i put save files in the same directory as NDS and GBA or somwhere else oh and what format do the save have to be
(soz if im asking to much)

Save files (.sav) are automatically generated on the M3 Real/M3i Zero whenever you load a ROM for the first time. They'll always be in the same directory as the ROM. Just keep the .sav files in the folder and you'll be fine. In other words, you don't ever have to do anything special with the .sav files, unless you want to back them up (which you should periodically).
