I didn't really find any guide for the options you can choose when patching your NDS roms. I heard that the SC card has 32 mb internal memory, does this mean that it's always better to put the rom position patch to super card for games under 32 mb? And on SD/CF for games over 32 mb?

Also what should be selected to have the best results on Enble restart, Enable trim ROM, Faster play game and iQue Game?

If you patch a rom to run from Supercard, it takes longer to load when you start it, but it fixes any slowdown/freezing issues in the game.

Ok so I guess someone could just try running everything from there sd/cf to have faster acces, and if you do have issues, then try to load it into the supercard instead? It's too bad they didnt choose to put at least 64 megs in the supercards.....

Yup thats the way to go. The reason for the 32MB is that the biggest GBA ROM is only 32MB (I think GBA can only access up to 32MB) and SuperCard IS originally intended to be a GBA flash cart.

Bump....

I'm still wondering what options most NDS roms needs to run it's best when using the software, what would you usually select at first?:

[ ] Enble Restart
[ ] Enable TrimRom
[ ] Faster Play Game
[ ] iQue Game

Also Why And When would you use or not use some of them?
What are the meaning for each? THX!

Quote[ ] Enble Restart
Press L+R+X+A to restart into SC menu. Pretty pointless, I think it's only necessary when you use real time save.
Quote[ ] Enable TrimRom
Try to trim unnecessary data from the rom. Makes the rom size smaller, doesn't always work.
Quote[ ] Faster Play Game
Not quite sure. I think it's supposed to make loading faster. For example, loading the songs in Ouendan is faster. Makes some games not boot.
Quote[ ] iQue Game
Check this if the rom you're patching is an iQue game. It probably isn't. If it is the .nfo or even maybe the rom name will say so.
