Fix the compatibility of game 3055,3070,3089 (Game tested up to 3179) The Real Time Save features of ITouch: ====================================== 1) Support maximum of 3 save files for each game. 2) Fast loading time & saving time. 3) Approximately, 95% of nds games are able to use RTS function so far. 4) Integrated RTS menu support showing time, loading & saving status, monitoring capacity of SD etc... 5) Support more than 1 set of hot-keys for activating RTS menu to prevent key-conflict situation occurs. (L+R+sel or L+R+Y) To enable RTS feature: ===================== Just make sure the "RT Save(L+R+SL)" or "RT Save(L+R+Y)" option at "RTS/soft reset" pull-down menu of the game configuration menu has been selected. (There is only 1 save file for a game by default. If users want to have more than one save file for the game, please select and enter into the "Save Backup" pull-down menu to create more backup files. eg. "create is1" or "create is2".) Basic operation: ================ Just press "L+R+SL" or "L+R+Y" to activate RTS menu during game play. Operation keys: --------------- [up/down] = select [A] = confirm [B] = Exit and return to game Function of the items: ---------------------- SAVE (save the game status from memory to default save file .is0) LOAD (load the game status from default save file .is0 to memory) SAVE BACKUP1 (save the game status from memory to save file .is1) LOAD BACKUP1 (load the game status from save file .is1 to memory) SAVE BACKUP2 (save the game status from memory to save file .is2) SAVE BACKUP2 (load the game status from save file .is2 to memory) MAIN MENU (Go back to the M3R main menu = soft reset) Useful information: Due to the restrictions of the system of nds, it's not easy to make it perfect. However, the load/save function is stable and we tested over 3000 of games, about 95% of games are able to use RTS function and all the status of those games can be restored and let me continue to play the game without so many problems so the overall performance of the RTS function is satisfied. To help users to use the RTC function smoothly, users may need to note the followings: 1. Please do not activate the RTS menu at the beginning of game boot up such as logo graphic is loading or showing. It's because the initial process of the game is usually still in progress. 2. Please do not activate the RTS menu during which the data is being loaded or saved. 3. The graphic of a few games may not be able to restore perfectly upon loading back the save file data into memory; we suggest users may re-try to restore the game (load) at another moment. Usually, if users save the game at gameplay, please try loading back during gameplay and not from the other game menu. Another example, if users save the game at the 3D state, we suggest loading the data back at the 3D state too. 4. The sound of a few games may temporary break upon loading back the save file data, we suggest closing the cover of the NDS for a second then re-opening it again. Usually, it will be able to recover without any problem in most cases.
