What allocation size or anything of the sort? Is there a specific formatter I should use? It's odd, but the DSTwo I have had suddenly become slow. I'd asked somewhere before and it did help to a degree but it's still bothersome. It's just generally slow. And before anything, it's the exact same micro sd card that I've used since having the DSTwo, and originally it ran butter smooth. Any ideas? I'm contemplating a different rom than what I've had just in case something happened with it

Probably need to reformat to fat32 http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.exe
or get a new sd card (doesn't need to be too high end just a good brand and speed) as yours might be dying/dead
the rom could be it, but you could try a different one or one from a different source, but I don't think that'd be it
You might be able to try fat16, but I highly doubt that will do anything noticeable and have only read about it

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
