    Missing in action? No!

    I know that some of my friends here at GBATemp have been wondering as to where exactly have I been since departing abruptly many months ago. Recently, a few have managed to remember my e-mail address and have asked that I, at the very least, say something...anything really...to those who I have...

    Hacking CycloDS v1.5 still haven't fixed my GBA save woes.

    Yes, never prepatch anything for use on CycloDS, unless it's a game that bears additional on-board hardware, such as the Botkai series.

    CycloDs Evolution Firmware 1.5 FINAL

    Not here, and I have all my skins there along with a few others. Perhaps, you have a bad skin among yours or one of them has a corrupted/fragmented file.

    CycloDs Evolution Firmware 1.5 FINAL

    It allows you to place a .txt file (identically named as the ROM), and while playing, you can go to the in-game menu (Hold Y+X+B+A+L+R) and read the text should you need to refer to a quest, item list or whatever you put in. You can take GameFAQs guides and pop them in, or write or edit your...

    CycloDs Evolution Firmware 1.5 FINAL

    So, besides both Chrono Trigger and Star Wars: Clone Wars now working, to revert back to another feature: Does Kingdom Hearts (GBA) play and save properly now with EZ-Flash 3-in-1 natively (no GBA ExpLoader)? Also, I just did my 500th post?!

    41 yr old newbie

    I too would like to welcome another of the over 30 crowd. Acekard 2 or CycloDS are the best choices presently. It comes down to how much you want to spend. I'm more on the side of CycloDS, because it's a simple menu, easily upgradable and English-speaking support via their website (and of...

    Misc Wi-Fi Nights Game Suggestions Guide

    After spending a few months in the official #GBATemp-WiFi IRC channel, I have noticed that many members have shown a level of unawareness about all of the games that are quite enjoyable over Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection. At times, they are not clear what each game offers in terms of gameplay...

    Hacking G6 DS Real USB Reader

    Several months ago, my reader (the solid black casing version similar to what is pictured) died. The card is fine, as I had it tested with another local owner, so let's not go off point about this fact. I'm not certain as to what exactly is wrong with the reader. The information about...

    Hacking Is it time to replace the top screen?

    I'm going to go with YES! Since you have a replacement case, I would take a guess that sending to Nintendo is out. I do believe a few sites out there (Google) sell replacement top screens and covers. Hope you get it working again soon.

    Thank you for those screens and captions, Vague Rant. Too bad it's now coming after February 2009 now.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
