nds-bootstrap loader: Run commercial NDS backups from an SD Card

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.

The japanese version of Kirby Squeak Squad works with arm7 patching (MC Method). Boots after 4 minutes, loading times might be longer than a american version.
PD: SAVE SUPPORT

So are there any downsides to this? Could it possibly stop some roms from working?
Some Roms aren't compatible even though they give a save data error.
For example: Star Wars:Battlefront Elite Squadron load but gives a failed to load save data error. Applying this arm7 patch just gives me a white screen so some games won't work using this method.
