GBA Software Loading
|
||
|
|
--------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GBA software can now be loaded directly from the CycloDS Evolution
|
||
|
|
GUI. In order to do this, you must have either a CycloDS Mini/Micro
|
||
|
|
or an EZ3in1 cart inserted in slot 2. CycloDS Evolution will now
|
||
|
|
automatically patch the ROM's save access so you dont need to use
|
||
|
|
any 3rd party tools in order to accomplish this. 1Mbit save types are
|
||
|
|
currently unsupported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Starting with this release, GBA saves are now directly compatible with
|
||
|
|
Rudolph's GBAExpLoader software (due to the large amount of requests
|
||
|
|
we received). This means that all GBA saves are stored in a directory
|
||
|
|
called "GBA_SAVE" in the root of your MicroSD card.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each time you run a game, the contents of its corresponding .sav file
|
||
|
|
will be copied into slot 2 SRAM. In order to backup the contents of
|
||
|
|
SRAM to the .sav file, you must reboot the NDS and load the CycloDS
|
||
|
|
Evolution GUI, where the SRAM will be backed up automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GBA Frame bitmaps are now supported. CycloDS Evolution will attempt to
|
||
|
|
read a GBA frame bitmap from /CycloDS/gbaframe.bmp; the bitmap must be
|
||
|
|
either 16-bit or 24-bit colour.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are using an EZ3in1 to run GBA games, you may select either
|
||
|
|
PSRAM or NOR mode. PSRAM mode generally loads much faster but the ROM
|
||
|
|
size in this mode is limited to 16MB. If you wish to use a larger ROM,
|
||
|
|
you must use NOR mode. You may switch between PSRAM and NOR mode by
|
||
|
|
highlighting a GBA ROM in the game list and pressing the SELECT button
|
||
|
|
which will bring up a dialog box.
|
||

|
|
How to use homebrew soft reset
|
||
|
|
------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Simply launch any homebrew executable and then press "A+B+X+Y+L+R"
|
||
|
|
to reset back to the main menu. This is currently working with just
|
||
|
|
about all homebrew software tested, and we'll continue to improve
|
||
|
|
compatibility.
