    I should say that neither patch works on the Cyclo. But if you get two 0 KB files, read the debug data. The steps above won't help you. It will likely say one of two things.
    1:"xdelta.exe: open gsddu.nds failed: No such file or directory"
    Which means you didn't rename the file to gsddu.nds. Read the readme.
    2:" xdelta.exe: expected from file (gsddu.nds) of length 268435456 bytes
    This means your rom isn't the right size. The patcher is looking for a specific size to patch so that it gets the offsets right. Your dump isn't EXACTLY 268435456 bytes? Find one that is, or artificially pad the ROM with a hex editor.

    Patch 1 and Patch 2 create identical rom files, which is suspicious. (In other words all 268435456 bytes in "gsddu-pc1.nds" and "gsddu-pc2.nds" are exactly the same. I checked) In fact the only difference between the patch files themselves are the filename to output to stored with in them. (0x000037 = 0x31 in patch candidate 1. 0x000037 = 0x32 in patch candidate 2. 0x31 is the character "1". 0x32 is the character "2" for the curious)

    The identical roms outputted to "gsddu-pc1.nds" and "gsddu-pc2.nds" are however very, very different from the original rom.

    there is a way to go around the encounter AP and GBATEMP provided it unlowlingly, for those with Ysmenu and 0 encounter or card that this works in , enable the 0 encounters AR code holding the START button will trigger encounters, so far its a workaround

    GS:DD (E) version [multi 5 languages] just out:

    I copied these links from kamranweb (I hope its alright doing this, cause if its not allow I will remove it):

    The links [CLICK on the SPOILER Button]:

    Maybe it would be easier to bypass the AP and glitches on the E version than the U version...who knows.

    Fun Facts:
    Did you know that this so call Multi 5 languages version had actually had the language files present in the U and J versions from the beginning. I saw it with 'Nitro Exploder 2B' sometimes ago, but no idea about how to utilize it .... I don't know anything about programming or rom hacking.

    Alright, my question seemed to be ignored. Has anyone found a fix for the M3I ZERO yet?!

    Yeah, I apparently have the Robotkillers version of the ROM, but it doesn't match the required KB? I'm hoping this is what fixes the ingame AP with the Dim Dragon. :/

    Ahem.Forgive me if the following files were already posted.I checked the first 10 pages and I'm not in the mood to check the other 20 --"

    Anyway,for everyone who's having a white screen on SuperCard DS Two [either clean mode and patched],just download the system3.dat and the ndspatch.dat from here > http://forum.supercard.sc/thread-7517-1-1.html
    Replace the ones you have with the new downloaded files and enjoy the game!

    You tried to install the version 1.29b for R4iSDHC?
    Post Merge: [time]1291418073[/time]
    Here is a little tuto for you:

    1º Format your sd card(make a backup if you want..)
    2º Download this: http://www.r4wood.com/Kernel/a/R4DS-V1.18 En.rar
    Then, extract the files to root folder of your sd card..
    3º Download this: http://filetrip.net/g35130127-Wood-R4-for-R4i-Gold-%28R4iDS%29.html
    Then, extract the files to root folder of your sd card, replacing the files..

    And.. at last.. 4º Go to the Wood configs and activate the AR(action replay codes) to get it working!

    Try it and post results!
