the development of this project has come along way, even if some games don't work, YET. Even still it's great to see some progress, But I'm going to wait for an official release or a beta or alpha release. Nice job Dev's

Just thought I would put it out here cause why not.
Super Princess Peach boots but since it doesn't work with saves yet, it will just keep telling you save data is corrupted.

Edit: Doesn't work as far as I can tell
As for unpacking & repacking a game, I think this is how you do it.

Not sure though, so please correct me.

1. Open an nds rom with Every File Explorer.

2. In ROM window, open the "Code" tab on the right.

3. Select "Export Decompressed" under ARM9 & save it somewhere

4. Open a rom with DSLazy (find it online), and select "nds unpack"

5. In the same directory as DSLazy, check "NDS_UNPACK" and replace the arm9.bin with the one you extracted earlier.

6. In DSLazy, select "nds packer" and save the final .nds

I have yet to try this, not sure if it'll work but I did get an nds out of it.
Edit 1: Tried New Super Mario Bros. & Phantom Hourglass, white screen. Looks like maybe I'm wrong, but I'll try a ROM that someone else has proven works.

Edit 2: Bomberman doesn't work for me, if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong that'd be great.

i'm using NDS HB Menu to open bootstrap. After you open the NDS HB menu you need to press select once, then a message "ARM9 cpu booted" will appears. Then you can test rooms. At the moment only bomberman worked for me.
