128Mb games

[Frank777]

Is there a way yet to play 128Mb games like Resedent Evil (NDS 0314) ?

Not unless you have a 1 Gigabit flashcart.  Even then, I haven't heard confirmation that that particular rom is working.

I heard it works fine on supercard, though

I do have a 1Gb sd card, wich came with my 8G Neo Max, but i't not working well on the card itself. I should have specified.
The game is starting after a couple of seconds, get into the intro screen, then it fades and stay black. I thought it could work fine with the 512Mb + 128Mb zip, but it seems 512 is in only fact 64MB so I'm disappointed there seems to be no way to buy a Super Neo Max kit yet.

[bruceg]

Yeah, SD card compatibility is low for many roms now.  Hopefully, they will get around to remedying that, after they are done adding all the features to the mk2/mk3 menu.

The neomax flashcart is 512 Megabits / 8 = 64 Megabytes, so you need a 1024 megabit cart for RE.  The only 1024 Mb neo-cart available at this time is Neoflash 1024, and that cart isn't the same as a neomax (the older Neoflash lacks the compression feature I believe)

I don't know if there are any plans for a larger neomax cart.  I think the next product that is going to come out is mk3 2006 1024 Mb internal flash.

The problem is that, as Bruce said, Compatibility with the SD cart is low, as is general game speed.
However, running from the flash cart seems to help a lot, unfortunately you need a 1Gbit (128Mb) flash cart for that Rom and those are rare.

Basically, all you can really do for now is wait until the next menu is released and hope for the best.

Res Evil seems to work as well as any other roms on my 1g flashcart.
Admittedly,i have not tried to go very far into the game,but it played for me for a half hour with no problems.once again,the 1g cart seems to be much cheaper at divineo cn.

[bruceg]

Good to know that it's working on the 1 gig Neoflash... Yeah, Divineo China affiliate has the lowest price I've seen for 1 gig Neoflash carts)

ok you guys have the roms on the flash cart

[bruceg]

I was wondering how the 1 gig titles were working on the neoflash carts using the menu software, since I only have a 512 Mb cart.

Hey Roger, have you tried any other ones like Bleach?

BruceG

[boblen]

so they are useing the GBA flash carts for roms ...

[rogerpoco]

trying that and greg hastings paintball.any others?
tony hawk works as well now,but im not sure of its mb size.
give me an hour or so.

[boblen]

wait so hang on your using the GBA flash cart???

[bruceg]

Thanks, Roger... I think you have covered the ones people ask about the most.  It's good to hear that they are at least booting properly, if not yet 100% compatible.

Boblen, yeah he is using a Neoflash 1 gig flashcart, as that is the only way to get those large roms to work so far....

[boblen]

  i want one =P

[rogerpoco]

Flashing to neo cart witk mk3,yes.
Bleach DS-no.after "press a to boot",two white screens for a moment,THEN-a "click".rom does not load.
OMG!!!!!!!!1g kingston sd is screwed up now.will not auto-detect card.after"press A to detect" get "Fatal Error:Initializing FAT Press A to continue"i have tried evert form of re-format.no use.
After i throw up,i am going to bed.hopefully the tech.faries will fix it while i sleep.OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

OK-menu 0.5 will detect the kingston card(0.4 detected several sandisk,but not kingston)so theres hope(ive told you i over-react)
im really not saving anything anyway,so i guess ill play with 0.5 for a while.

dont feel too bad for me,most of this has worked out well for me(stella ds yesterday -no sound,reeeeally slow.progress,though.yay-E.T.!!!)
i was due for something not to go perfectly(other than save issues)
does anyone have any idea when 0.6 is coming?i am really dying here.
