[dsrules]

the bug was removed because the problem was solved in 1.41, now it's back in 1.42
he probably didn't have time to put it back

I just added it back to the Known Bugs section, and linked your fix along with it. Thanks!

 

[dsrules]

I have a problem with my GBA expansion : Whenever I plug-in my µSD to my computer, add/delete some files and replug it to my M3 DS Real and start Golden Sun for instance, I find out that I have an older save, generally I lose 3-4 hours of game and it starts to get really annoying

How can I solve that ? And thanks in advance !

D'oh! ok I'll remove it from the front page again

*EDIT*
I've updated the download to v1.43, but it's my first time updating the file since FileTrip went live. If there are any problems with the download, please let me know.

Also, I just wanted to get everyone's opinion regarding all the extra cheat files inside the SYSTEM folder. Should I remove them to make the download file smaller? Or just leave them as-is?

You should just remove all the cheat files that don't work.

Clean Rom of Mario & Luigi RPG 3 Europe doesn't work in Sakura 1.43 ??

well, those are chinese cheat files and kinda outdated, so might as well remove them to save 20+mb of space

remove, 99% on this site know how to speak English more or else. Plus the extra files just makes the folder more messy.

Done. It only reduces the size of the download by ~700kb, but at least it will save 22MB on peoples' MicroSD cards.

Wow, those are a lot of reply's

But I have a problem with downloading the english skin files, I guess it's because every download has been put on filetrip but almost no link works.
Will the links be altered or do I have to search for it on filetrip?
Also my ds sometimes quits in-game, maybe it's because it's one of the first ds's in europe but I don't plan on buying a lite or DSi just to fix that
So if any1 knows, please let me know.
Furter it's the best ds os I've ever had, so keep up the good work ^^

TouchPod v4.6 (now with global settings) has been integrated with Sakura 1.43 in the download link on the first post of this thread

As usual whenever a major new feature is added to the firmware, I'm not exactly sure which files are modified/added, but I've just done the usual and overwrote the SYSTEM files only with the most recently-updated files. In addition, the SYSTEM folder now contains the following new files:
- bt_func.bmp
- bt_global_func.bmp

Since my flashcart is Japanese, I can't test the firmware. If anyone has any problems, please let me know.

Sorry, I meant to reply sooner but got caught up in updating and other stuff and forgot.

I'm not sure why you're experiencing difficulty with the FileTrip links, I just chose 10 skins at random from the list and they all downloaded to my computer with no problems. And I'm sorry, I don't know anything about the issue you're having with your DS quitting in-game. Do you mean that it just shuts off?

OK sorry to be a newbie but any chance of letting everyone know WHAT files can be deleted from the SYSTEM folder to save a little space

I've noticed a lot of 'cheat???.db' files ('cheat.db'/'cheat_b.db'/'cheat_c.db'/'cheat_SCH.db' etc), 'homebrew.???' , 'menu.???', some 'startgba.???' files and 'minigame.???' files

I'm guessing many of these are for other languages (ger=german,spa=spanish etc) - so what files can be deleted (if any) if you ONLY use English ??
(highlighting them all come to a massive 36Mb of space used)

I get an error trying to unrar the file, what up with that..??

Possibly bad download - I've downloaded & Un-rar it fine - only problem I had was when I copied SYSTEM folder over I had 'filesize error' when loading up Sakura - A Re-format cured THAT problem

I think (and I'm not 100% sure on this) that you can delete any of the menu.* and minigame.* files, just keep menu.eng and minigame.eng if that's the only language you use. I believe those files are only used in TouchPod, so if you just use Sakura, the firmware probably won't suffer from those missing files. All the unnecessary cheat databases have already been deleted from the package.
