if you have a tip to play scumm with voices with a supercard lite, it would be great !

Rename *.ds.gba to *.nds and use the Moonshell patcher. Worked for me.

Hello,
I have two questions about the ScummVM DS port:

1. As anyone been able to run it with a G6Lite Flashcart?

2. In the readme, there's something about a 30M limitation when using a Flash Cart. Does the same apply for supercards using SD or CF cards?

Thanks,
Vachu

1 - yes you can, but you have to use the gba flashcart method, you have to zip the gamefiles and you can't have a zip bigger than 30mo so no voices...

2 - the 30mo limitation is only when you use the gba flashcart method (zip the game files), so any problem with a CF or SD

Ok, thanks for your quick reply. But I still don't understand how the limit is only for the Flashcart method. I mean, doesn't the GBAMP method or the M3 method also use the GBA slot to function? Doesn't that also limit those method to the GBA cart bus? I'm a little confused here.

If the limit is imposed because of the zip file method, could there be a method that doesn't require zipping but can still read the stuff in a custom folder of a Flashcart? As anyone experimented with that?

Thanks again.

When reading directyly from a CF/SD flash card, the card is used as a block device, where a block of data is read into a buffer in the CF/SD card and read out a byte at a time using memory mapped I/O.

The flash cart method uses GBA ROM space to map the entire data of the game into the 32Mb usually used for a GBA game.

passme3 works.

However, there's no way to run scummvm right now on ewin2 (as far as i know, if someone can prove me wrong, that would be great

)

I recommend M3 CF or Supercard CF or GBAMP CF. CF devices usually work better than SD devices when it comes to direct access of the flash card.

if you get the m3, supercard or gba movie player do you need to flash your ds because i dont want to do that. and with the gba movie player do you still get the touch screen to use for scummvm

You don't have to flash your DS when using any device. But then you need a passme device like Passcard or Superkey to enter DS mode.

and with the gba movie player do you still get the touch screen to use for scummvm

Yes, of course

If you use a PassMe2 (or a device based on it), and use a flash card reader that has problems saving (I think the M3 ones do have problems) then you won't be able to use the backup SRAM method.

You won't encounter this issue if you use a NoPass, or PassMe 1.
