nds-bootstrap:

Thanks to the work of ahezard, Gericom, Apache, Robz8, _catcatcat, and shutterbug2000 and other contributors, we can now load NDS games from the SD card, without any flashcard/SLOT-1 card.

Don't expect high compatibility, but do expect many, many updates.

You need to use it with twloader or fowarders both need .cia.

Install either of them and then replace the nds-bootstrap.nds in SD:/_nds with the one from the download in this thread.

Man, everyone was saying this was still a long ways off and I sucked it up and bought a flash card. Just one month later and here we are Fantastic work on this, guys. Looking forward to future updates!

Oh, and Merry Christmas

Can it read the save from a different game card? For example can you play with mkds rom with cartridge of nsmb with a mkds save injected?
