I did all the steps in the Big Storage guide, the final step didn't work with me :cry:

When I press the Power + Camera + Reset (while having the card in the slot) I get SERIAL displayed on the screen.... i waited for a long time but nothing happened! :? then I removed the SD card from the slot & immediately I got the SD DOWNLOAD screen (as in the screen shot), so I just returned the card into the slot & pressed Power button,, but then it says READ CARD CARD IS FAIL !!!!!!!!

I tried many times, even with the original (non-modified ROM),, I got the same!

I am using a 1 GB SanDisk card, I've tried another card MMC 256 MB, I get the same!!!!!

Plz help plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :cry: :cry: :cry:

Some early memory "stats":

New O2 ROM & Anansky Big Storage 57.41MB

After HR, storage uses 0.89MB, program uses 8.23MB

New O2 ROM & MKS Big Storage (but forgot to patch 416 bytes) 57.41MB

After HR, storage uses 0.89MB, program uses 7.05MB

MKS: Why does program uses over 1MB less than that of Anansky's? Thx.

OK, here's the final "stats" for the day (I promise :))

Here's the juicy bit: Total storage memory 26.72MB, in use 1.07MB, free 25.65MB. Very cool!

Steps to patching your ROM

This is how I did.

Step 1 Backup your ROM image on to SD. (For those who don’t know how to do, READ HERE. OS part is the same, I mean XDAII and Mini. d2s 80000000 02400000)

Step 2 Transfer ROM image from SD to PC using "ntrw.exe"

ntrw read rom.nb1 x: (x: is your card reader)

place the "rom.nb1" into the same directory of "mksBigStoragerENG.exe" and "Anansky.dat"

Step 3 Execute "RunTimeVB6.exe"

Step 4 Execute "mksBigStoragerENG.exe" You will have "mksBigStorage.nb1" (\Storage 27 MB ROM image)

Step 5 Transfer ROM Image from PC back to SD using "ntrw.exe"

ntrw write mksBigStorage.nb1 x: (x: is your card reader)

Step 6 Restore ROM Image

Remark

Since I patch to my own ROM image. Therefore, I don't need to replace the first 416 bytes.

Hi all, my first post on this board, but have done a lot of reading here the last couple of month. Really interesting stuff.

Ok, heres my prob. I want to try to use the patch on the new o2 rom. But when I try to write it on the sd card it freezes. Here's what I did:

I wrote the following commands:

d2s 80000000 02000000 [This one worked fine, checksum ok]

d2s 60000000 00300000 sd a [This one worked fine, checksum ok]

d2s 70000000 01080000 sd a [When running this command, the PDA freezes and the display just says Cal checksum, nothing else happens]

What have I done wrong. I noticed little_frog wrote this command:

80000000 02400000, should I be using that instead.

Hope for some help.

No Problem...

If you open both Roms in a HEX editor you will see many wierd characters, as shown in the screenshot. Select the first 416 bytes of your backed up ROM, copy them (CTRL-C), select the first 416 bytes of the downloaded ROM and paste (CTRL-V).

I used UltraEdit which counts up how many bytes you have selected, see bottom right of screenshot.

Hope this helps.

Re: 416 bytes

When you install the Big Storage ROM it is true that you get 27 meg of storage instead of 7 meg. However that 27 meg is much more space than just what the extended ROM was taking up. I installed most of my extended ROM and it was only about 1.5 or 2 meg less storage than I originally had after the Big Storage installation. Even if you count the size of the extended ROM cabs, which is 9.5 meg for the new Imate 1.11 extended ROM, that still means that there would be 16 meg free instead of the 7 meg on a standard Jam. So don't worry about installing the extended ROM cabs because it won't take up that much space. Of course if you don't really need a program, there is no sense in installing it. I think the best thing to do is to keep all the extended ROM cabs on an SD card so in case you have to do a hard reset, you have them ready to install. I also have my sprite backup on the SD so if a hard reset is needed: 1) Hard reset, 2) Install EXT ROM cabs, 3) restore sprite backup...done. Thankfully I have never had to do a hard reset since the Big Storage ROM :D

Thank for this nice tool. It's a good step in the direction of being able to convert any ROM in the future to BigStorage, but... The more we patch, the bigger the chance that something won't work. Besides, what's the point in doing anything but the absolutely necessary patch?

I am of course talking about the boot picture here. I can see no serious reason to incorporate this and thus increase the chance for failure. The simpler, the better.
