New firmware 1.51 is ready for you!!! [ Anon:roman ] 219.133.249.178 2005-9-24 22:20:49 Edit Reply

Hi, I am romman, our supercard team has finished new firmware 1.51, and covert software will ready soon. And we will release them together.
New firmware feature:
1. Can save game to CF ot SD directly and automaticly. There is a .sav file with the NDS game just like GBA. But can save game to CF and SD without press any HOT keys.
2. Can run game more than 256Mbits, you can play any size games now.
3. Run NDS games directly from CF ot SD card. Very Very fast without loading the game in to Supercard RAM

Romman confirmed ( me included ) via MSN Messenger... its true!

Thanks dudu - kinda kills the post though... - well I suppose I don't mind as at least it means its true - any indication on how long it takes to sort the software out? - I suppose as it is a full (non beta) release that they will need to take their time to make sure it's 100% bug free.

Thanks again.

Is it true for GBA games also?

none was told about GBA  yet =[

i just hope yes...  it will fix a lot of slow down problems

i highly doubt the direct-access from SD card will be applied to GBA... the way GBA memory is accessed is different from DS.  It makes sense to be able to "stream" DS data in this way.

I might be possible to patch GBA games to save directly to CF/SD though..  That would solve the slow down that's caused by Romman fudging a function onto the vblank irq (aslong as you don't enable reset/save states).  

The GBA patch software already patches roms to save to the supercards sram so hopefully it's not too much of a stretch to patch them to save to CF/SD.  

If it is possible I'd have hoped Romman would have done it already though

It was my understanding that the save patch was to automagically write the SRAM out to the cf/sd (which was causing some of the slowdowns...)
