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.

TWLoader users, if you want to play TWEWY (The World Ends With You), download the latest unofficial bootstrap build!
Please note that only the USA version works.

Checked "TWEWY-build" for my games.
Ace Attorney 3 - Near pearfect.
Resident Evil DS - Reduced loadings time (But this pre-cashing video...)
Others - same.

Something I never understood, and this is more of a technical question...but why does only pokemon diamond work, why not diamond and pearl since they were released at around the same time?
