bretthorror Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Anyone have a flash card for the DS? I was wondering how easy it is to use. I'm not interested in running DS/GBA games on it, I just want to put 8 bit stuff mostly on it, but I'm unsure if it's easy to do. Any help would be appreciated.

mimo Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 some are easier than others, The Colecovision is a breeze to use, as is the SNES one (can't remember the name off hand) I need to have another go at the C=64 (FrodoDS) I think I may know what I was doing wrong I have not managed to get the 2600 ones working. Worth the price IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) I just ordered an R4... There's lots of stuff for it here. Can't wait to try Stella and Quake... Oh, and here's a C64 emu in action. Edited September 13, 2007 by Gregory DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretthorror Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 If people can't get some stuff running, I don't think I'll bother until I get info from someone who has an NES emulator running on theirs. I don't wanna drop $70 and not be able to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I don't think it's very hard. Just download the emulator and drop the files into your micro SD card. Found more emus here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can find the files, but the terminology and all that always messes me up. "Drop the folder in the root" etc... I bought a softmod for my Wii. It's a setup similar to this. For whatever reason, I can't get it to run anything on my own card, I have to use the card the person I bought it off of provided, and that's what scares me about this. I can't figure out why this is as I copy all the files from the old card onto it and still it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 "Root" means just put the file onto the SD card, not in another file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretthorror Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 "Root" means just put the file onto the SD card, not in another file. Ahhh, I see. Yeah I wish I had the guts to drop the money for it, but until I hear how someone else does it EXACTLY, I will wait. If only the flash cards you buy could come loaded with the roms. Although that may get some in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the flash cards you buy could come loaded with the roms. Although that may get some in trouble. I have a DS Lite and the R4. Currently running I have a 2600 emulator, Doom, and a couple homebrews. In my experience you can not always drop the roms on to the flash card and go. You need to patch the roms with a lib specific for your flash card. This patch allows it to read and write to the flash card. Patching is easy thanks to the coders that have written GUI apps to assist you. I have not tried an NES emulator but they should be just like dealing with any other roms.

I haven't had to do that yet. And I've tried DS emulators for the 2600, Genesis, SNES, and NES. Do you mean you need to patch the emulators with the DLDI? I had to do that for a couple of homebrews that didn't already have the new DLDI coding built-in. Not sure how this whole thing works yet, but the new thing is to have a common DLDI for all flash cards... Whatever that means... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean patching the emulator itself which can be considered a DS ROM. I did not mean patching NES, Genesis, 2600 ROMs that will be loaded by the emulator. I have not heard about a common DLDI. It would be nice to not have the patching step when trying out new homebrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
