Who here trims their ROM's? If you do what's the chance that it screws up the ROM, and what trimmer do you use.

Im trying to make some space for some Mp3's =P.

Another vote for NDSTokyoTrim. Very simple to use and very fast. No time wasted.

I'll be one of the minority that doesn't trim roms. I hold 30-35 games at once in my 2gb card and only play a few simultaneously... thus, saving a few hundred extra MBs to put on more games I won't be playing doesn't really help me any.

Some of my ROMs are trimmed, about 40%. I'm just very lazy, so I don't trim them all the time.

I use NDSTokyoTrim, it's awesome. I don't have that many games on my R4, but I have about 700 MB of videos and songs. So my ROMs kinda need to be trimmed to I can cram all the media I can.

Yet another vote for NDSTokyoTrim here. It trims super fast, less than 1 second! Plus, it's got gba trimming and a bunch of cool features like picking a folder to scan for untrimmed roms. Also, it is a batch trimmer, so you can trim tons of games at once. NDSTokyoTrim FTW!

NDSTT trims GBA as well? o.o

Yeah, since the last version 0.75; however it's a really basic and mostly untested trim, I can't test it myself so I coded it with just the theory in mind, however users have been reporting it's working and better than the other gba trimmers :)


Thanks for the overwhelming support everyone :D

Another vote for Rominator here.
Safe trims to preserve the wi-fi and hasn't had an issue with any of my +70 Roms yet.
It even trims games that aren't normally in the database (like XXXX Game & Watch Collection (J)) and they play fine afterwards. Fantastic tool imo, can now fit about 50 roms on my 2Gb with plenty of room to spare for 10-20 homebrew things.

Well, I don't really go by that "I can fit XX roms in my XGb Memory card" thing. It all depends on what ROMS you get. If you get small games, then yeah, you cna fit like 50. However, if you get big games, such as FFIII, Metroid: PH, ASH, etc etc, it's a VERY different story. : P

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
