Works fine on mine with the latest firmware.
Haven't tried any different versions but the (U) dump works fine unpatched.

Allright guys, please help me, I'm one of those desperate DS-Xtreme owners who *NEEDS* a functional arm7 fix.

The thing is, I searched whole GBAtemp and tried all the various fixes, including DSLazy and DStool. Nothing works - or to be specific, none of the programs even start, except for this one by Rocky 5 which actually looked like working, until I got this message after the first step:

DSLazy gives me this message when I try to run it:

And the rest of them give me only one quick blink of a black window.

Where could be the problem? I'm sure it's not in my computer (pretty new with WinXP). I'm pretty sure it's the arm7-fix that will help me with my latest issues, as I got already used to my DS-X and know how to make it work sort-of-properly.... except for this little problem. I have the .bin file ready AND japanese Simcity for donating AND many donor.nds and swap.nds files to try it out.
It's just that none of the programs work.

:'( please help.

Just do some googling to find a prepatched game. It took me awhile, but I found it a few months ago.

 

[MagicalLeopleuro]

Good idea actually! But the game I'd lke to work the most is fresh new so I doubt it. (Warhammer 40,000 Squad Command)
But I'll give it a try, thanks!

 

[zeppo]

So does Worms: OW need it using an R4, or not?

It doesn't need the fix if you're using the latest firmware.

Umm, that post was from Nov 18.

 

[zeppo]

oh... oops. sorry about that.

I wouldn't be so "sure" it's not your computer. Have you installed .NET ? dslazy can't run without it.

Yeah this would be my guess !

I was one of those "desperate DS-X owners" and had to run the DSLazy arm 7 fix on all my roms from Zelda PH onwards

But it reached the point when Geomatry Wars wouldnt run no matter what !

So I had to abandon the DS-X and go with a better solution ! (The CycloDS Evo + 4GB Kingston SDHC)

You might want to consider doing the same if you :
a) cant get dslazy to work
or
b) want to play some of the newer games out

Good luck !

coops024> I've already decided I'll get myself a different card, unfortunately I'm always broke at this time of the year XD I will have to wait until February or so, but yes, I'm already deciding between Cyclo DS and R4, they both look delicious~~


Biggest thanks both of you for your tips!! I'mma gonna look for that .NET thingie now

You get .NET from the Microsoft site just give it a google !

Both Cyclo DS and R4 are the best ones on the market for me !

only decision between the 2 is the storage space (Cyclo DS takes SDHC cards) vs Price (R4 is cheaper !)

Might sell my DS-X if I can find a buyer !

Here's a simple little arm7 fix program I wrote. It should make this process
a little easier for everyone.
ARM7FIXER

The source is included (for those of you not using Windows

).

Thanks for that, I am still waiting to recieve my DSTT but I compiled it for linux in the mean time.
Only change I made to the source is I had to replace getch() with getchar().

I tried the original method, but my computer is too slow to run it properly. It took me 20 minutes to just open the unpack screen. I quit the packer part when it took up to 40 minutes. Is there an alternative method that is quicker? I see a few other Arm Fix's in his thread, but could someone suggest to me which is best to use. Or where I can find pre-patched games.

 

[scibotic]

Why not give the little program I quoted a go? It seems simple enough.

 

[xblx]

@scibotic:

Thanks for the linux patching program, I am going to try to make a script for it under nautilus, let it point to a standard donor file and let a single argument for the program be the rom to be patched. This way I can batch convert all the roms to work with the DS-X.

I've been away for a while, but the first post is now updated.

Old thread is OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD. You shouldn't bother bumping old threads, especially for that reason, contact the person instead, through PM or their site.
