how is it right now? when it first came I didn't wan't to use it as several people reported it had broken some games, and haven't used since, but how is it now? is it someway better then before, is it optimized? are there yet any game thet it breaks or maybe cause slowdowns, i would really like to use it, but repatching all my roms and transfearing them back into my kind of slow CF is a pain, also i haven't got all that ime to keep testing and shit.

Personally, I don't understand the point of the restart patch.  Is it really that difficult to turn the DS off then on again?  I know it's needed for saving on the GBA side of things, but I never have it on for DS.

It's not exactly the most important feature [I'd believe that to be trim ROM].

In any case, I hardly ever use it anyway.

no it's not difficult at all, but any eletronic device suffer from a little stress every time you turn it off and on repeated times, the so it would be better to use soft reset, I since iI have a lot of games on my CF iI do a lot of swaping, and that involves lots of resets...

Where are you getting this from?  Maybe this applies to hard drives because of their mechanical nature, but if the circuit designer knew what they were doing (and I'm guessing Nintendo does) any surges from power-on would not spike enough to harm anything.  I'd be more worried about the fact that you are swapping the CF card while still powered on.  There's much more of a possibility of corrupting the CF card that way than damaging the DS electronics by powering off and then on.

Actually the reason this exists is because some people don't want to flash their DS (For whatever reason) and are forced to run a small file on the supercard every time they want to play a DS game.
Having the restart function lets them jump to another game without having to go through the routine of Powering on the DS, running the file, plugging in the Superpass2 and restarting.

I love the reset patch and it has never messed up any game.  I also have a CF and hate to hear the "snap" sound of turning off and on the DS.  So, use it if you like, it hurts nothing.  The only downfall is on a button masher like Guilty Gear, sometimes I accidentally restart the DS. :lol:
