Other Games / Re: The "what NON-Cave game(s) are you playing right now?" thread

I finished Live A Live, which took me about 20 hours. Good game, but I wasn't super impressed with it overall. Some of the chapters were rather drab and/or a drag. Some parts of the game were really great, though.

Trying to decide between Triangle Strategy and Xenoblade 3 for my next Switch JRPG. In the meantime I've started Actraiser Renaissance on my PS4, which I'm enjoying so far!

KLP increased his DDP SDOJ B-EX score by a small amount, but no Hibachi in this run:

5,404,366,703,741 - ALL

I expect him to increase his score by a significant amount in the near future, judging by his recent Twitch streams.

I have sent you a PM.

You are correct the ASUS dump will not work properly on the Gigabyte motherboard and vice versa.

Ok so the CF with OS is tied to the motherboard somehow? So only Asus OS can be copied to another Asus motherboard and not Gigabyte and vice versa?
I’d gladly test to backup myself with your tools so please DM me, I’d appreciate it.

Yes that will make your plan fail.

However fear not, you can backup your own card. I have assembled a package for Windows with the correct tools. All you need to supply is a simple CF reader and a Windows machine. If you're a Linux guy, it's a lot easier!

If you are willing to go this way I will share the tools with you via DM.

There is a gotcha here. Which motherboard type does your DS2 use ?

Gigabyte or ASUS ?

If you are unsure open it up, take a picture of the motherboard and post it here.

Ok many thanks.
The purpose is to have a backup CF card if mine fails in the future. I guess I need to apply one of the patches since it’s protected and needs the shipped USB dongle right?

So one of the mame CHD files contains the XPe OS image?

ds2_4.0.chd

Can you tell us what your endgoal is here ?
