Hi, I just finished my first NDS project : Quick & Dirty Save Manager for Supercard

As its name says, it's a save manager for Supercard (SD&CF, maybe M3 as well) ^^

you can:
-create multiple save for a game (up to 9)
-change the current save for a game
-create a new empty save for a game
-copy the current save to a new one
-erase a save

it's a little slow, but it's due to the write function of the FAT lib which is slow (or if you know a way to write on sd/cf faster, let me know)

It was made in 3 days, so do a backup of your saves before trying...
let me know if you find bugs.

before i get this, can i ask a question?  

For a game like Tao's Adventure : Curse of the Demon Seal that only has one save slot, I can use this and actually be able to create a whole new save file for the same rom, so that me and my bro can both have a save file?

this might explain it better:

tao.nds.dsq
save file 1
save file 2

I can have 2 save files for the same rom, right?
or am I completely mistaken? :oops:

wow...this looks like a handy program, thanks

Schaweet!  I was just thinking of a program just like this to manage my Castlevania saves.  Now I don't have to create multiple copies of games to have different profiles. Thanks!

Thunderstrike > Yes you can do that.

This was great!
but maybe easy to get confused when i have a couple of savegames for one game, bit hard to remember wich one was wich, it would be really good if there was anyway to give a short name to every save, ex. "no1 jokee, no2 guest, no3 sister" etc.

Keep ut the good work  

if bad english.. sorry

woot woot
sounds über
renaming the saves would be even more über

Suggestion: instead of copying the files back and forth when changing save slots (which takes a long time) simply rename the files, which should be much faster. (DSOrganize takes less than 10 seconds to process a renamed file.)

Hi,

I played with the source a bit today.  Here are some things I did and the result:

1) I tried substituting the 3/3/2006 FAT code - that froze the NDS when I tried to copy a save to a new one.
2) I changed the compile option from -O2 to -O6 which only added 8K to the binary.
3) I added a check for the OSX .Trashes/ directory to ignore it since selecting it didn't work anyway.
4) I removed the __PACKED qualifier as required to get rid of the warnings.

This is good software!

mp2t > there no function in the fat library to rename the files   if there was one, for sure i'll be renaming files instead of copying them.

[jas20]

DSOrganize seems to support renaming of files. Maybe you should look around that? I haven't tested it's rename function becuase I never have needed to to.

mp2t > there no function in the fat library to rename the files  

That's why I mentioned DSOrganize can do it.

Do you have a link for the sources of DSOrganize?

[m2pt5]

I don't, but you might be able to get them from the author. The page is here.
