I have a suggestion.

Maybe we can have a sticky post somewhere to list the sort of roms somebody have used successfully and their checksum of the rom. This should help to prevent "Trojan" roms.

So that if we ever want to patch the same rom and the same dump we can verify the checksum against one that somebody already did before and was sure its not a brick maker.

What do you guys think?

great, fine idea, let's start working on it...

Great idea.  Someone trustworthy should post md5s.

that's where i see the problem.  who, really, can be trusted??

maybe dudu.exe or romman. I believe them.

or ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

isnt anyone doing a listing tool like GBARenamer? if so wouldnt that do the job?

[[Jez]]

in fact Advanscene already has a .dat list of NDS releases for offline list

[socket]

so far, here are who's been nominated...

dudu.exe
romman (well, if you could get them to do it, great.  but not likely)
memyselfandi

nominate some more...how 'bout we get a list going and then i guess we could figure it out from there.

Thats why it has to be a community maintained list.

So if you have a rom from a trusted source but the MD5 differs, practice caution, and warn the rest!

I guess if the NDS emulators are working we wouldn't have to go thru this and risk making bricks...

Anyone here tried  ENSATA yet?

zarcon6 would be my first choice as he is listed as the Compatibility Tester
Also I belive NTolerance would be trustworthy

No really need for that (and no need to flash it with the "flashme").

Just take your roms in a trusted place, like somes very old roms channels (like gbatemp on efnet).

And for the homebrew, personnally, I only trusted and so used, ScummDS, and Loopy/Flubba/Gladius' one (SnesDS/Goomba/PocketNES/SPC) etc... (and the ndspatcher, which will become useless anyway with the new firmware, if somes roms don't save after, just use a real card).

(And don't take roms from GST, anyway they don't seem to rlz somes lately, and the only ones they released sucked anyway, cuz of the encryption...)

But if can make you feel better here's some CRC (made with quicksfv, the CRC is the CRC of the .nds file, so the rom, not of the .zip file) of somes roms working well (the ones I have anyway so 25 games) :

0004 Feel The Magic XY-XX (U)(Trashman) => 662D929F
0013 Yoshi, Touch! and Go! (E)(M5)(Eternity) => 1D829D6F
0017 Ridge Racer DS (U)(Wario) => 8E2B4B77
0029 GoldenEye - Rogue Agent (U)(Trashman) => BB881C67
0033 Kenshui Tendo Dokuta (J)(iND) => 39DBD5EC
0036 Daigasso! Band Brother (J)(GBXR) => 1722923E
0041 Need for Speed Underground 2 (E)(M5)(BT) => 5092F331
0062 Madagascar (U)(Lube)  => 2EC117B7
0050 Zoo Keeper - Action Puzzle Game (E)(Trashman) => E8CB0841
0052 Another Code - Two Memories (E)(Trashman) => 9CF6566D
0053 Spider-Man 2 (U) => 3B275B19
0063 World Championship Poker - Deluxe Series (U)(Lube) => B5CABB37
0065 Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 (U)(SpankMe) => 5C359064
0074 Ganbare Goemon - Toukai Douchuu (J)(Trashman) => 0491521F
0085 Jump Super Stars (J) => 49EFB6B3
0085 Jump Super Stars (J)(Rygar) => 7B50B1F6
0087 Space Invaders Revolution (E) => 2E863354
0086 Madden NFL 2006 (U)(Lube) => 00204884
0089 Nintendogs - Chihuahua & Friends (U)(Lube) => C9549D69
0093 Hagane no Renkinjutsushi (a.k.a Fullmetal Alchemist) - Dual Sympathy (J)(TRM) => 11EC21AE
0094 Akumajou Dracula Aoi Tsuki no Juujika (J)(WRG) => 0DF769EE
0095 Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters - Nigthmare Troubadour (U)(Lube) => 2CEFE04D
0105 Castlevania Down of Sorrow (E) => 8E908CE7
0108 Fifa 2006 (E)(Legacy) => DCA2BFEA
0122 Trauma Center Under The Knife (U)(Legacy) => 0622460A

P.S: Again, these are the CRC of the .nds file (clean, and not patched with NDSpatcher nor Super Card), not of the zip file.

Edit: Anyway, a new topic seems pretty useless, just ask Dudu.exe to put the CRC on the Compatibility List, like the names are in green, CRC can be put in red and here we go. And with each new rom on the list, just have to put the CRC with it, and there it'll be ok, but it's just a point of view for people who wants CRC (even it's seems useless to me).

This site here: http://www.64scener.com/ includes an apology from DickFader and instructions on how to scan a ROM for the DS.Bricker signature.  Ihave downloaded it and used the command given but I get no output - anybody else tried this?  Have you got it working?  How?

Thanks!
