Could Not Read Data and Save Types your answer is HERE !!!!!

[sigmax]

Well this is a little faq for users with those problem.

First

No$gba components if you don't have this the emu won't work

Could not Read data and set save types

If the emu present this

http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4324/errorkd3.png

http://i7.tinypic.com/4q4gcyd.jpg

The only thing you got to do is set a save type (NDS cardtridge backup media)and reset the emu(*) if you find the correct save type go to option (save options)

http://i10.tinypic.com/4y8jozk.jpg


NOTE: occasionaly games boot up even on the wrong save type.
What happens then though is that when trying to save, you will encounter that same error (Could not read the data. Turn power off and reinsert the game card).
The fix is exactly the same just sellect the correct save type when starting the game next time, exactly as shown.
Unforutnately any game progress up to that point is forfit then if you had chosen the wrong save type and it fails to save with that error.

if you get an error "カード (CARD)" (on Japanese games) change the save type

THIS ========>>> NOGBA
EEPROM - 4Kbit => EEPROM 0.5Kbytes
EEPROM - 64Kbit => EEPROM 8Kbytes
EEPROM - 512Kbit => EEPROM 64Kbytes
FLASH 2048Kbit(2Mbit) => FLASH 256Kbytes
FLASH 4096Kbit(4Mbit) => FLASH 512Kbytes

Why do people don't try using the settings option??
use some on sense people (especially noobs), just change you'r save settings, and if the game crushs try to change your settings again.

NOTE: Most games runs well but with few glicths or bugs.

ADVANsCEne - Release News for NDS-PSP-GBA (http://www.advanscene.com)
Theres a complete list of NDS games with their save type there.
But note that the site list the save types in bits not bytes, and no$gba uses KBytes, and desmume uses Kbits.

PS: The site is legal, doesnt contain any links to roms, its just a list of known games dumped and save types.

[Foxfire Inferno]

Thanks for posting that. I should be able to use that list to put down the correct save types for all the games listed in the compatibility topic that didn't have anything listed for them as of yet.

i wish a mod make this tread Sticky cause many user make the same question all the time and don't search this tread.

and this program for keep diferent profile on no$gba
http://forums.ngemu.com/no-gba-discussion/91403-basic-profile-manager-no-gba.html

[Hiei-YYH]

first of all, if the game shows error at the logo screens, then go to options and change, restart... is not that hard and will not take a lot of time do this 4 or 5 times in a row.

if the game takes long to get a in game save, do your research before starting it and then start the game with the correct save type.

at last, use the basic profile manager to help if you're lazy like me.

RF is very picky when it comes to loading saved games. Sometimes you'll get to the new game/continue screen, and other times it won't load at all. You'll have to restart the emulator and try again until you can get to new/continue, then hope again that the program will even load the save game and not get stuck on "loading..."

It'll load if you keep trying. Sometimes I can do it the first time launching the emu, other times it takes me 10 minutes or so of restarting before it'll actually load.

NDS Cartridge Backup Media which I used is EEPROM 64Kbytes.

[Hiei-YYH]

lol i tried with 64k, 256k and 512k, all the times looks like it saves normally, but when I'll try to load it just seems like there is no save game... lol i hacked only a few codes because "that" problem...

[RockmanForte]

Yeah, please just wait. It takes me 10 minutes or so of restarting before it'll actually load.

[Dark Mac]

Type for Gyakuten Saiban 3 for DS? I'm pretty sure it's not on any of the lists, since it just came out.

Have you try EEPROM 64kbytes :p

[M4yka]

A little IT 101...
If you have sg in kbytes then multiply it with 8 so you will have it in kbits...not that hard really....
for example....64 kbytes * 8 = 512 kbits

[conquerall691]

Flash 64 kb or Flash 512, don't remember which one.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

It's Flash 256kbytes according to the combination of Hiei's post and AvanceScene.
AdvanceScene says it's 2MB Flash, so that converted to no$gba by Hiei's chart is Flash 256kbytes.

[RockmanForte]

I tried eeprom 64kbytes and it works fine to me.

Shin01,

you shouldn't be playing it on no$gba because you can't see the enemies in 3-D world when you want to fight them. Please wait for the near future.

Not 100% sure what's needed.
You just have to dump them off your DS, any other way is illegal and shall not be supported on this forum.
Make sure you have the correct save-type otherwise you can't save even once you have dumped everything.

[sigmax]

Well i've make a lttle update to the faq with part of information posted here:D

@Spardizzle dump it from your own NDS :p

Im playing digimon world DS, an i cant save. i've tried some of the save types but they don/t work, can anyone help?
I am using no$gba v2.4f

[Abantao]

Digimon world DS - EEPROM 0.5Kbytes (NDS)

[RockmanForte]

No.

Set it to EEPROM 64kbytes

iDeaS:

Eeprom - 512 kbit

NeonDS:

Eeprom - 512kbit

:)

[ozzgx4]

yh. i tried that but i did'nt work, it comes up with a message-look at my attached image

[RockmanForte]

after you go to options to change the save type then go to file and click RESET CARTRIDGE. I assume you are using no$gba.

[ozzgx4]

yh i am, and I've already resetted it, mybe it's just the 2.4f, ill try using 2.4e and see what happens

EDIT: dont worry, i've tried it again and it workd now. I don't what I must have done wrong before, but thaaks for the help RockmanForte

[Abantao]

No.
No$gba:
Set it to EEPROM 64kbytes


well I'am using EEPROM 0.5 and finished Digimon world DS, DAWN, and now I'am going for DUSK both real and No$GBA,, so what the problem with my save type.. :drool:

[ozzgx4]

i don't know, the only recommendations that people have given are either EEPROM 64K bytes or FRAM 32K bytes

[Andemon]

i don't know, the only recommendations that people have given are either EEPROM 64K bytes or FRAM 32K bytes

Yeah, and using FRAM 32K gets the save corrupted once you collect enough digimon. That one definitely should not be recommended. :/

EEPROM 64K is the right one.

[faxity]

so which one is needed for digimon world dawn/dusk ?
cause u guys confusin me -_-
for no$gba

[Abantao]

oh!!! how can that happen??? well I just have to start all over again,, well thanks anyway...

[Andemon]

The same: EEPROM 64K.
Not at all surprising, since DAWN/DUSK don't differ that much from the first game....

[Abantao]

No I mean starting all over with DUSK,, since I play not because I'am a fan or what,, But I play because I'am an RPG player and game critic... hahaha

Hmm...
PW2 uses the same savetype, though - and he said that it works. Seems like the problem lies elsewhere, for once. ;)

[jbernoski]

Using 512 Flash fixed my issue. Must I reset to see changes in the save type? I only noticed it worked after using someone else's save to avoid replaying the 1st chapter.

[RockmanForte]

Set it to EEPROM 64kbytes as well. It's working great.

[jbernoski]

Well, that simply wasn't working for me, like I said before. Maybe it's because I was inserting someone else's savegame?

[sigmax]

Well, that simply wasn't working for me, like I said before. Maybe it's because I was inserting someone else's savegame?

the file and the save got to have the same name

example

file name-> xpa-rdcr.nds
save name-> xpa-rdcr.sav

and if it is from a flash card you got to convert it :p

[jbernoski]

Yeah, it's working with the flash savetype. I just wanted to say that. It wouldn't work with the eeprom savetype. However, do I need to reload the rom to change save types?

[ozzgx4]

yes, you have to change the save type and then reset the emulator for the effects to take place.

[Min_Chan]

Hi guys! I'm new here and first off to say, I love you guys!!! I've always been waiting for an NDS emulator and it's here!! Thank you so much!!! and here's a problem that I've been having recently for the no$gba. I had to re- download it twice (first time was with 2.5 beta, then the regular one) after that I got the additional files. I was able to play the few roms that I have and then after that, the emu would always freeze. I have my labtop specfics in my sig. so anyone who can help me I would really appreciate it!

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Which games?

[sigmax]

try to delete the no$gba.ini file and config it again:p

ok thanks

[karue]

zelda phantom hourglass?

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

It's Flash 512kbytes.

[Hyper Shinchan]

Mhhh, I think that this is the right thread, at least I hope so.... anyway if I've setted the save type to an uncorrect (greater than necessary) value, and then I change it to the correct one what will happen? I'm asking so because before knowing this entire save type problem with ds games I've simply setted it to Flash 512 KB (when the game that I'm playing require only flash 256 KB; BTW the emulator I'm using).
I've tried to correct the value and it seems I've not lost the data, but the size of the battery file is the same (both compressed and uncompressed type).
BTW I'm using no$gba (I've also noted opening the files in a hex editor that they have some "extra information", does anyone know why? It makes them incompatible with other emulators, I think).

I am new in forums.ngemu and I´d like to know if you can solve my problem with the emulator because it seems you know a lot :D
No$Gba 2.5b...

First, with the game Pokemon Diamond.... I can´t load the game I had supposed save... "Saving a lot of data..." and I don´t know what to do... :eyemove:

Second, because of the game Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings... when I try to save with this emulator, it says "Save Slot 1 is corrupte the save game was deleted" and the same happends when I try the other slot... please help!!! :cry:

I really hope you can help me...

Thanks for advance and take care.

[Dualscreenman]

First, get 2.5c. It's better. :P

Second, all of your problems are caused by the same thing. If you had read all the thread you would have seen that you don't have the proper save type set.

[Linebeck]

Ive been trying everything on Phoenix Wright:And Justice For All...But it doesnt save for some reason ._.

[RockmanForte]

It did save just fine, Linebeck. The microphone did works fine that some people said it didn't. This game is 100% perfect for this emulator.

make sure those are set to EEPROM 8kbytes

[Dualscreenman]

Remember to reset after selecting a new save type. Otherwise it won't change.

[RockmanForte]

Yes, it does work fine. If you do not know what is firmware then why do you have it ? Obviously, you have it illegally.

[ozzgx4]

your firmware should legally be dumped from you DS, if you have got it any
other way then it is illegal

Hey sigmax can you tell me about digimon world dawn THX

[RockmanForte]

other way then it is illegal

No, I do not think he have DS, why ? Because he have no idea what is firmware. Now, you know why he must have it illegally.

[ozzgx4]

yeah thats true, most users seem to give it away when they don't know what firmwares are: which means that they don't own a DS

[grfla2]

You don't exactly need to know much about firmwares to simply play on your DS, though.

[RockmanForte]

please do not tell him because he don't know what it is then he is doing it illegally. :)

Any sugguestions?

This is pretty offensive

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

That reply was to agnarock. Sorry I should have been more specific.

As for you, you do indeed have to correct savetype. Did you do a propper ingame save whilst midgame? It should give you an option of continuing from where you were in the case or restarting the entire chapter...at least it does with me.

[sak777]

How could a person who doesn't know about firmware possibly have downloaded an illegal version? If they don't know about it, how do they find it!?

[LoneWolfSpike]

So i know this may be a dum question....but i have to learn the specifics soewhere...is there any known case of the location of the game e.g. (E),(U),(J) making a diference to the save type...i can think of one likely possability

No. Every version concerning languages have the same type when talking about one game.

Why don't you's just search it....i'm sure there was a post of ALL savetypes for pretty much ALL NDS games...use google....use your brain (maths brain)
Question: are you really going to continuosly ask what savetype for every single game?

[Bored...]

Jeez, sorry. Those were the only two I asked >_>. My first one was about what 2mbit would equal to. Again, SORRY for wondering about what 2mbit would equal to since I don't know, and of the save types of two games.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Well if you had read this entire thread you would know.

I and others have said more than once that you divide the savetype given by those sites by 8 to get the no$gba backup type. 2mbit/8 = 256kbytes etc. etc.

[M4yka]

Hey guys, cool down...there's no need to start a war here...
Luminous Arc/Megaman Starforce: Flash - 256KBytes

[Ma Chao]

It's a matter of opinion if you want to help everyone asking for save types, or if you would direct them to read the first post of this topic, which has a site with the save types for every game.

[pureskill]

hi do u knw the sav type for megaman zx advent

[Gladiator@]

hi do u knw the sav type for megaman zx advent

This is a better place to ask but I already answered your question in the thread you created.

[garion_1991]

Sorry to bother, but how do you use BIOS?

[ozzgx4]

BIOS? well you just dump it from your DS console and put it in the folder that contains the emulator

[emir]

Whats the save type for digimon world ds,digimon world dawn and digimon world dusk?

When i want to save wth megaman peagasus, the game freeze!why?

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

All Digimon games are eeprom 64kybtes (or whatever the 64 kbyte option is)

MegaMan StarForce games use Flash 256kbytes (or whatever the 256 option is)...and saving works fine...or at leas used to...I don't quite know on the new version.

[KurokiKazeFFU]

okay, i may sound like an idiot, but there have been a couple of games i could not save even with the right Save type listed for the Emulator. these games mainly being Super robot Taisen W (Japan), and Megaman ZX Advent. i do proper in-game saves like i should (OFTEN) and yet, when i close the emulator, it seems the save files don't stay. =/ if i sound like an idiot please go ahead and Berate me on it XD anyway, thanks for any help x.x

[soulplatinumsup]

Can someone tell me Zelda: Phantom Hourglass' save type =|

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

How about you actually read through this thread?! Do you honestly thing you are the first person to ask the savetype for that popular a game?! =\

[ozzgx4]

well in any case if you don't find it: Flash 512kbytes.

[soulplatinumsup]

How about you actually read through this thread?! Do you honestly thing you are the first person to ask the savetype for that popular a game?! =\

Well obviously, that is why Stigmax made this thread. He clearly says that if you need the save type of a game then to let him know. And Last time, I checked, you're not him. If you didn't want to help, why did you reply? You just want someone to feel stupid. Well it's not working on me,sorry. And I thank the guy above who told me to savetype.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

It's Sigmax not Stigmax first of all.

It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I don't want to spoonfeed as that is only done for babies and disabled, sick or old people.
It does not help at all for others, it's much better to teach them how to do it themselves.

There's these little things called effort and Common Sense which I want you to use a bit of.
In other words reading through threads before asking things and searching the forum.

The only reason sigmax added that on is because there were all sorts of people which felt the need to be spoonfed which were posting all over the place so at the start she at least wanted them to ask in a more organised manner, but by now there is more than enough material in this thread that, that no longer needs to happen as everyone should be able to find their own savetypes by the time they have read through this thread (not even entirely...how to find the savetypes by yourself is mentioned more than once).

[KurokiKazeFFU]

well, at least it's not like a bunch of horny angsty assuke's running around XD *chuckle* anyway, i found out my problem (seems i -did- have the wrong flash bit save wrong for Super Robot Taisen W, probably ZX too.) and fixed it on my own, so there's no problems for me on my end (did i fail to mention that No$GBA is WIN for being the most compatible DS Emu out there compared to the rest? XD)

But it's not about YOU. YOU didn't ask the question. I did. And if it is a stupid question for noobs, babies, or whatever, let it be. You still didn't have to respond so rudely. Ignore the stupidity, it makes you sound just as stupid. And like I said..you don't wanna help, don't..I'm sure there's someone else out there willing to help, and if not? I'll just keep on looking until I find an answer worth taking. Not :"why don't you just search the threads!?"

Btw: It's just a ****ing thread. I don't care how stupid or babyish I sound, I'm hear to get my problems solved, not to impress anyone.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

You are here to get your problem solved permanently, not temporarily, so it's much better to educate you than just to spoonfeed you which would lead to only a temporarly solution (in other words only for this game). Besides it's just forum etiquette to read (or at the very least scan) a thread first before asking your question.

i agree. but what you have done can be your last resort

[Spade]

What's the save type for Advance Wars - Days of Ruin? It's not on ADVANsCEne (yet).

Efit: nvm, it's there now.

[ronnyron99]

i went there to see the save type but it is not in bytes but in bits... what is the best save type cause i just played for a good long time and now i don't see my save progress anymore....

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

divide bits by 8

[ronnyron99]

thanks for the tip schumi, also for those that is having trouble converting the bits into bytes and so forth go here to use this converter: Megabits to Kilobytes Conversion Calculator (http://www.unitconversion.org/data-storage/megabits-to-kilobytes-conversion.html)

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

You're welcome :)

That site you posted would only be good for the larger games...as the smaller ones are in Kilobits not Megabits...although I suppose if you just look at the number you can also still get it.

[garion_1991]

MegaMan StarForce games use Flash 256kbytes (or whatever the 256 option is)...and saving works fine...or at leas used to...I don't quite know on the new version.

Actually, Digimon Dusk and Dawn uses the FRAM one and it is working fine.

SRTW is Flash 512 or something

Actually, this reply already made you look stupid, but anyway, I agree with you, this place is for asking.

No offense, why do people never try for themselves. I can see why they ask if the save type is hard to find. But some games are just not worth answering.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

No game uses FRAM. It may work for a while but 64kbytes is the correct option.

The other will eventually corrupt.

[garion_1991]

Sorry the break it to you, but most of my games use the FRAM one and it is working fine. Ace Attorney 4 uses the FRAM one and Dungeon Explorer also uses the FRAM one. Actually, most JP games uses the FRAM one and there are about 2000 nds roms, so if you do not know any games that use the FRAM one, dont say no game uses the FRAM one. But then again, if you are limited in roms or knowledge or experience, you may have a deduction like this.

Actually, I've read most of your threads and cant help to think you lack the understanding of most NDS save types. The place or site you get the rom or how you get the rom also affects the chances of a corruption. So please, say(or post) things in a more suggestive tone and not harsh or pro like, because the NO$GBA is not yet complete and most of us are noobs and except for the develepers, non of us are true pros.

[ozzgx4]

I think SCHUMI what was trying to say was that that FRAM can be unstable thats all. And that fact that FRAM may eventually corrupt your game, but that is not a definite. your game might just work perfectly with FRAM, like you said.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

All you do is take the bits and divite by 8 to get bytes for no$gba...nothing hard to understand about it. FRAM does work occasionaly yes...but it is not the correct savetype. Just like eeprom 64kbytes occasionaly works eventhough the correct savetype is Flash 256kbytes.

[emir]

What is the save type for lifesign surgical unit?

[Tyo]

just correction from above post. all digimon games using EEPROM 64Kbytes :)
lifesigns use EEPROM 0.5Kbytes

[garion_1991]

Nah, Fram works for some games like Ace Attorney 4 only works for the FRAM one, (ch version) but I know little so please take this as a suggestion. Besides, if the FRAM one doesn't work, I can always use another.;)

[ozzgx4]

yh but with FRAM, say that if you played the game half way through and your game becomes corrupt, then what, pretty much waste of time. so theres no point risking it using FRAM

[garion_1991]

you dump them from your DS console...

what if I dont have a DS console............

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Then you have no business even using this emu.

[ozzgx4]

And its also illegal, because that is the only place you can get your BIOS files from, any other way obtained is illegal

[Squall-Leonhart]

i obtained them from a guy in an overcoat named Marv'

[ozzgx4]

that is perfectly fine, you have not broken any laws

[garion_1991]

anyone know the correct save type for _1415 - Deltora Quest - Nanatsu no Houseki (J)_
I actually dont want to ask but a 3 minute wait is not worth it....

[Squall-Leonhart]

that is perfectly fine, you have not broken any laws


Lol

no but marv might've O.o

[RockmanForte]

anyone know the correct save type for _1415 - Deltora Quest - Nanatsu no Houseki (J)_

Yes, I do. Set it to EEPROM 8kbytes. ;)

[frio5turquia]

Save type for Pokemon Diamond??? :)
I've been dying to load my save files on my No$GBA 2.6, but it just appears with a black screen.

[M4yka]

Please use search first next time.
Flash - 512Kbytes

[K. Basara]

I tried all the savegames even FRAM, searched the forum and didn't found an answer, so what happens to the Final Fantasy III that the save corrupts after closing and starting no$gba again(I did set the game in the right backup after restarting, just to remember) and in revenant wings in which the games tries to save but gets corrupted even before saving.

[Abantao]

here try typing this in your browser http://www.advanscene.com// and try looking for the search button and start looking for the game for the save type *sigh* (-_-)!!!!

[K. Basara]

0681 Final Fantasy III USA Eeprom - 512 kbit 1024 Mbit
1695 Final Fantasy XII - Revenant Wings USA Eeprom - 512 kbit 1024 Mbit


EEPROM - 512Kbit => EEPROM 64Kbytes

I used EEPROM 64kbytes, that's why I'm asking what to do, it's not a problem of which choose, since I tried 'em all, on both games the save corrupts, with every save. ;)

[jack617]

i need help my MegaMan Star Force Dragon(usa) is not working when im fighting monsters it stay with the symbol when that person is teaching u how to play ,well bascially i need help :)

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

That has nothing to do with savetypes and therefore does not belong in this thread.
I assume you need to switch the rendered to the nocash renderer (if you have either 2.6 or 2.6a).

[Fakedeath]

I have read this forum about 30 times and have tried all of the save states and i still cant get any of the 6 ds roms to work if you can help me thats cool they are 0561_Harvest_Moon_DS_USA_NDS-LGC,0324_-_Age_of_Empires_-_The_Age_of_Kings_(U), 0150_-_Megaman_Battle_Network_5_-_Double_Team_(U),0114_-_Lunar_-_Dragon_Song_(U),(NDS) 0088 - Advance Wars - Dual Strike (U)(Lube)(Nintendo DS Roms | NDS ROMS (http://www.Nintendo-DS-Roms.com)), and 1329_-_Rune_Factory_-_A_Fantasy_Harvest_Moon_(U).

Plus i dont know if this has anything to do with it it saves in a .sna format
First game.SNA

[Tizio]

Save states doesn't work for DS roms, only for GBA roms
I'm trying to write an application to add Save States (http://forums.ngemu.com/no-gba-discussion/99950-no-gba-save-states.html) ability to NO$GBA also for DS games, but I have some problems...

[Fakedeath]

I Just Want To Be Able To Save My Game So That I Dont Have To Leave It Running For The Rest Of My Life.
If Any One Can Tell Me How To Do That I Would Greatly Honor You.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Then Use Regular Ingame Saving......

[Fakedeath]

thats all i needed thank you all very much

[K. Basara]

Help me /\ :dead:

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

I have no clue what's wrong with your game....you might need to make a clean dump.

I have tried both games and they both save just fine for me (I even had one saving in a folder without my firmware and bios files and all that)...granted I never played very far...like only enough to get out of the first dungeon....but everything is fine...just remember to make constant backups of your savefiles.

[jack617]

STUPID SCHUMI-4-EVA I AM NOT A NOOB i just needed a way to fixed that problem thanks for the solution

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

If you are not a noob the why respond and conduct (by posting in the incorrect thread) yourself like one?

[jack617]

well i just needed help i got the emulator feb 1 2008 and also im not a noob

[V1ncent]

STUPID SCHUMI-4-EVA I AM NOT A NOOB i just needed a way to fixed that problem thanks for the solution

SCHUMI-4-EVA , you really know how to control yourself !:thumb:
I would have not listened to that disrespect !:angry:
I mean , a 'NOOB' saying stupid to you ? :rotflmao:

[imlost]

STUPID SCHUMI-4-EVA I AM NOT A NOOB i just needed a way to fixed that problem thanks for the solution

Correction, no one said you are a NOOB until you said that. Also, SCHUMI-4-EVA already pointed out that you are posting in the wrong thread. This is to help people with any saving problem, and your problem does not have anything to do with the save as far as I can tell.

[bernys]

Question;;;
Where to get these:
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s310/picture_pail61/17118912ud2.jpg

i dont have DS console and i dont have these bios and firmware maybe someone can help me to download these? PM plx^^

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

If you have no DS then you have no business even using this emulator.

The only way to obtain them legally (and therefore the only way to obtain them according to forum rules) is to dump them yourself from your DS.

[bernys]

nice preety nice >.< i will try to download it from somewhere >.< some people dont have money that is why i downlaoded emulator>.<

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Did you not see me say it's ILLEGAL ???

If you download ANYTHING (unless it's homebrew) then you will not receive any support on this forum. Get lost, or obey the rules.

Emulation =/= Piracy

[ozzgx4]

:lol: funny

[bernys]

u have no rights to judge me SCHUMI...maybe u have alot of money and u can do everything with it...u are acting so dumb specially with this sentence:If you have no DS then you have no business even using this emulator. Emulators ARE piracy but see how may peoples are using em?

[ozzgx4]

This has been discussed before. read the rules, do not discuss piracy or complain about emulators and games or you will get banned.

[bernys]

ok...but i say emulators are also piracyoO

[ozzgx4]

No they are not, they are something that authors want to make as a hobby.

[Kellicros]

u have no rights to judge me SCHUMI...maybe u have alot of money and u can do everything with it...u are acting so dumb specially with this sentence:If you have no DS then you have no business even using this emulator. Emulators ARE piracy but see how may peoples are using em?
We don't care if you have no money or what so ever, please bring your illegal business elsewhere. Emuforums simply does not condone piracy, if you can't respect our forum rules, you do not deserve to use these forums.

On side note, I have received reports of you flaming one of our members via Private Message, so aside of getting your first infraction for breaking the rules, you also earned yourself a warning for flaming/harassment. One more strike from you and you will be gone, thanks and have a nice day.
