    Hi Guys

    I've got a DS lite and a 4MB flash card with a passcard. Its been collecting dust for a little while now and i think the most modern game i have on it is Super Mario

    What normally happens is a download a bunch of ROMS from a newsgroup - unzip and transfer to the flash cart and hopefully play some new games! But recently (in fact the last 3-4 months) i've had 3 main problems i'm trying to overcome

    1 - If i download a load of games and they all have filenames like sprpxb.nds etc and i dont know what the heck that game could be. Is there a decent ROM renamer program i can use?
    2 - More recent games dont seem to launch after uploading them, they just lock up or freeze. I assume this is because of protection or whatever. Can i somehow check this before uploading? If so how and with what?
    3 - If it is due to protection - how do i fix this? I assume i'll need to patch every protected ROM?

    Thanks in advance guys :)

    For the first one, right click the file and go to rename near the bottom.

    As for the second and third, I have no idea, maybe your card is just to old to run them.

    1: I don't know of any renamers that can read the game name and rename it, though there are probably some out there - i've just never needed them.

    2: No way of checking if it will run before actually trying, unless you check online compatibility lists for your device (if any).

    3: Depends what device you have, "4MB Flash card" dosn't really help :-(

    For the renamer thing, read my previous post, for the flash card, get a new one ;)
    M3 lite is best.
