I'll buy you a flashcard if you stop posting stupid messages in this thread! OK?

I've ignored him. The thread is a lot easier to read now. If you don't want to bother with him (or anyone else who is only here to complain that they dont want to buy a flashcart) ignore him as well.

Hi yall,
I just noticed this tread but don't want to read through the whole 65 pages. Is it possible now to play DS(i)-roms on 3DS without a flashcard (e.g. by means of a NDS2CIA converter or something).
If not, whats the current status? Can anybody wrap it up in a couple of sentences?
Thanks so much, I'd appreciate it :)

No. Buy a flash cart.

No and it will probably never be possible as every DS game runs on bare metal with the dependencies compiled into the game.
This means you simply can't redirect reads to SD without changing a games behaviour, so you would need to reimplement every game separately for this purpose which is impossible with that much assembly code a game is made up from.
So forget it and use a flash card, emulator, etc.
DSiWare is despite Flipnote Studio the worst excuse the give up the GBA port and spend 170 € on a piece of very easily scratchable plastic.
The DSi was and will be a waste of money and time.

You're wrong, you need a flashcard if you want to play ds games, for dsi games you just need an exploitable fw version or a9lh

Ok, thanks :-) Already have a flashcard, but would have been nice if everything was in one place: on my SD card.
I have a9lh and AuReiNand - what can I do to get DSi roms working from SD-card?

Patch twl firm(find it on that iso site), put the flag reversereboot in the rei folder and you're done

Well DSiWare is installed to the sysNAND or emuNAND, you can copy it to the SD Card to have a backup, you need to have it installed to the NAND (wasting) some blocks of system memory.

Would it be possible to have some type of DS-mode CFW running using A9LH before any FIRM starts? If it were possible to have the ARM9 and ARM7 running while the ARM11 is still up maybe there would be a way to mitigate having to negotiate ARM7 for sdmc access. Sounds like it requires reimplementing a custom TWL_FIRM, although even a very basic ARM9 DS-mode loader would be impressive
Very good idea.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
