ROM Hack How do you get GBA/DS ROMs to work on...

How do you get GBA/DS ROMs to work on a Slot 1 Games and Music?
Is there a way I can play GBA and/or DS ROMs on my DS Lite?

Like all of Datel's products, the GnM is not designed to run commercial games. You can get around this to some extent, but it's a fairly involved process and you won't be able to run a lot of games. You cannot run GBA games from any slot 1 flashcart.

You need a real flashcart like the CycloDS Evolution, Acekard 2, Supercard DS One, M3 Real, etc. if you want to play DS games without a lot of trouble. If you want to play GBA games you will need a slot 2 flashcart like the M3 Perfect or EZ-Flash IV, or a GBA expansion pack like the EZ-Flash 3-in-1.

Oh, so you can't play a GBA game on a Slot-1.

Well, how do you play a DS ROM on DS?

N, you can play DS games on a lot 1, just not Games and Music

Pretty much any slot 1 cart or slot 2 cart with a nopass/passme/flashme.

Cyclo DS + EZ-Flash 3 in 1 = Fun

Cyclo DS + EZ-Flash 3 in 1 = Fun

Get these (and a good microSD card if you've only got the crappy one that came with your GnM) and you'll be set.

Well, I can't really afford all that great stuff, is there a way I can just play a DS ROM on GnM alone?

 

[Destructobot]

After doing a bit of Googling it turns out I was thinking of the Max Media Dock, not the Games 'n' Music. I don't know if it's really possible to play commercial games on the GnM at all, but it looks doubtful.

the Acekard 2 is only $23.00 on dealextreme.com surely if you could afford a GnM, you could get this. (shipping is free)

I think we can all stop suggesting flashcart purchases now.

 

[GrnMoo]

Ok, nevermind. :|
But thanks for the help anyways.

You CAN'T. That's how. You can check the Datel forums at Maxconsole if you want, but you're not going to find anything. The slot-2 Datel products can run some DS games through the use of the Arm7 fix (aka the Max Crass Method) and the Max Overload patcher, but the GnM has nothing. You chose the one device that can't run any commercial DS games at all.

This is why you do research on a product before you buy it.

I found out you can use Demos and play them (The ones from the Wi-Fi Center in Walmart) by downloading them. Why can you do this but not play the regular ones? Does it have to do with the format of something?

 

[Giga_Gaia]

Just buy a real flashcart. Not pricey at all, like other said.

Those demos are designed to be loaded entirely into RAM and run from there. If they work on the GnM it's probably because they never try to access the cart after they've been loaded.

actually if you use Max Overload you can run DS roms on the GnM (the unhacked version might not work so if it doesn't try the triforce hacked version...) I have also heard from a forum member on another forum that Max Overload works on the R4 (why he tested it who knows

)
