What’s New : v2.18
- Option to rename files to remove scene numbers. (like “0123 – abc.nds” -> “abc.nds”)
Quotes from users over at gbatemp.net:
- Only NDSTokyoTrim should ever be used in my opinion.
- just use the best trimmer, “NDStokyotrimmer” it’s the obvious best & fastest trimmer, NEVER had a single problem with it.
- The best rom-trimmer out there for the NDS is without doubt NDSTokyoTrim
Drag&Drop notes:
- Drop any kind of files, it will detect and sort the right ones (nds,gba,zip,rar,7z,folders)
Q: Which version do I need?
A: If you use Vista with UAC enabled, or with a non-admin account, you need the 2nd one, “Vista compat…”, otherwise (win95-vista without uac, and Linux), use the normal one that says 32/64-bit)

what do you mean with “Auto detection for Wifi games”. Does it do something special then?
omg…
the background is gross for little people =D
really? in what country?
Nice backgrounds, standard included in the ZIP would be nice, though.
Your program is just perfect
I try to run your file trimmer as I want to use it to rename the files and trim them BUT everytime I try to run the execuatibal it just shuts down my windows xp machine just as if I had hit the shut down button any ideas or segustions?
Did you download a modified version of it somewhere else?
No I downloaded from this site and tried re downloading it 3 times still just shuts off my computer
You must have some program that unpacks the exe at run-time (antivirus maybe?). Try the 2nd one that says NDSTokyoTrim (UAC)
Cool that one worked thanks I like the support !!! and the program all I can say is wow!!! COOL and thanks again and you might put a note anyone having problems with the first one to try the seccond one even with xp
Nice, glad it worked for you. I’ll put a notice.
I love the option to remove scene numbers (Very helpful!) but could you consider adding a way to remove regions perhaps? (like checkbox or an options menu to remove (U)/(USA), (E)/(EUR), (J)/(JAP) or ALL region extensions. (Selectable because I like to keep region extensions on foreign region games).
If A File Is Already Trimmed And You Put It In The Program To Patch It, You MUST Select “Only Patch, don’t trim” Or It Will Skip The File Since It Is Already Trimmed. Also, When Patching A ROM That Is Already Patched, The Log States That It Can’t Be Patched As It Already Has, But It Still Changes The File (Found Through MD5 Checksum).
Sorry For Double-Posting. I Really Should’ve Tested These Beforehand And Put All Info In One Post. Anyway…
I’m Using A Pokémon Leaf Green ROM For This. Trimming It Makes It Playable With The M1 Circuit Board Error Message, Patching It The First Time Removes This Error, But When Sent Through Again With The Patch Setting, I Get The Error Message Again.
You mean for GBA roms?
Yes, I’m Sorry. I Should Have Specified.
Another Thing I Just Found: Drag & Drop Onto .Exe Icon Only Works When Only Dragging A Single File. When Dragging Multiple Files (Using GBA Again), It Only Opens The Program, But Doesn’t List The Files. (Files Must Then Be Opened Afterward)
Sorry For Double-Posting Again, But Your Download Links Are Titled As 2.17 As Opposed To 2.18
Fixed the version info. I have a new version almost finished, I will check the drag&drop bug you mentioned
brian, can you add 128KiB flash patching (SRAM bankswitching) for GBA Pokemon games so that they can work with the 3-in-1 in NOR mode?
An old topic about this can be found here: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=63467
Thanks
does this patch roms?
Was working until today… Having a problem with the trimmer where the gui has gone transparent?!?!?! (WinXP) how do i prevent this as its a pain in the annus to see what it says… also its been throwing up alot of errors since it happened.
ive deleted the file and downloaded a fresh but it seems to keep the settings as i had previously setup.
Open regedit and delete the key hkey local user/ndstokyotrim
??????????????????????????

dan
Hey Thanks alot for this, by FAR the best trimmer. efficient, fast and allows for download play =]
just one question, what is the name of the anime/H-anime that the background character is from?
(the one with pink hair and angel wings)
It’s GIrls Bravo, and the girl is called Miharu

Hey brian, I can’t get the backgrounds to show up, It always says [Wrong backgrounds path.].
I let them in RAR, put ‘em in a ZIP, unrar them to \Backgrounds or to the root, but they din’t show up!
So could you tell me in which folder they have to go? Please?
And [Alternate Backgrounds] is enabled.
are they jpg?
Yes, they are.
Excellent prog. This’ll save loads of room son my 2 sons’ R4 cards! Much appreciation.
Great app, just a shame that there are no custom backgrounds for, y’know, the rest of us. Guess I shouldn’t complain, it’s not like they’re difficult to make or anything. Maybe I’ll crop up some ‘male’ backgrounds, and of course share them if anyone’s interested
What kind of backgrounds?
Crashing on WXP SP3, anyone else experiencing this? Have the windows dump data too if needed. Primary error message states this:
Exception EAccessViolation in module NDSTokyoTrim.exe at 000C1373. Access violation at address 004C1373 in module ‘NDSTokyoTrim.exe’. Read of address 00000004

Thanks
