    Default GBA Rom trimmer

    Ok erm I dunnoe wether I could post this here though and I do not know wether this violates any rules here (I'm a newb)

    This is actually a utility that lets u patch GBA roms and the best part is it trims ur roms a little.

    Well with the release of gpSP that doesn't support zipped roms so it takes up quite alot of space...

    I managed to trim castlevania Harmony of dissonance from 8mb to 6.6(it might be just 1.4 mb but 10 games its 14 mb already) and its workin,one thing that makes me wonder is that is runs faster than usual too in gpSP even without frameskip(I am playin it now as I'm posting been 1 hour redy so dun think theres a problem )

    this is their site http://www.gbadat.altervista.org/

    i'm testing it on kirby - an the amazing mirrior
    i trimmed t down to 15Mb, and it ran faster..not much, but enough for me
    i trimmed it to 8Mb, and the gameboy logo came up and than it crashed

    i'll test some more games

    ok, i came up with this:
    trimming the games works, but if you try to cut the size by half it will crash the emulator, or it will load the game but with nothing on the screen
