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.

Patience. He's not obligated to work on this, and in the grand scheme of things, there are more important things to worry about. Give it time.

Well, we are all waiting patiently, some (myself included) wanted to know if he actually remembered he was working on this.
I think we all understand that while he's not "Obligated" to do anything, he could at least throw a word and tell us what's going on with him, right?.

Either way, nothing to do but to wait...

The reply was only meant for the person I quoted; nothing wrong with requesting an update.

Indeed it's probably on hold for some reason, maybe a lost of interest in the project, who know.
Anyway thanks for the work done on it, just the fact to know once and for all that YES, the 3DS is able to load nds file was worth it!! :)

I'm happy with the fact that I can listen to the nostalgic soundtrack of Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky from the actual 3DS instead from an emulator.
For me that's more than enough, if they want to continue with the project and make many more games work... well that's up to them.

Yes, he "could at least" let us know what's going on with him, his disappearance is indeed a bit worrying (for me at least).
Hopefully you're not trying to attack what I said back then, because it certainly sounds like so...

Come on people, I am not trying to start anything here, I just stated my worries and nothing else. :mellow:
AND, as I stated earlier, I am happy with the current state of the project, I can at least listen to certain game music from the 3DS, and that's enough for me.
