And alternative entrypoints were found and released despite Cubic Ninja being available for cheap, if you know where to lookIt would take too much time and effort which no one would want to go through simply because of the fact, flashcards are cheap.
IIRC, the GBA "emulator" emulates the GBA cartridge, then actually runs the game on the cartridge. I don't know if something similar could be made for DS games, but if it could, Nintendo would probably have to do it.
It's not as easy as you think. The sad truth is, anyone in the scene who is skilled enough to patch TWL_FIRM to load games/saves from SD is against piracy. CFW has hardly progressed at all because the CFW devs are not skilled enough to figure out things on their own without help.Ok, first off, this thread is not meant to be a thread for nagging people, trolls, or cruelty. This is not for us to go backward- but to go forward. This is not just a simple "no". If you have something bad to say- don't say it at all. This thread is meant for the knowledge of loading DS game SOMEHOW- it doesn't matter HOW we load them- but to be able to load them without Flashcarts.
Do not say no and just leave. Do not say no because Flashcarts are cheap. Say no or yes and EXPLAIN. Explain the technical implimations. We already know that when booting from a DS game, it reads from the slot- so it's probably a hardware problem.
BUT the 3DS has native DS emulation so we wouldn't need to actually recreate DS emulation-
We could:
1. Maybe we WOULD have to reprogram TWL_Firm to load games from the SD card. It would be easily possible since we've reprogrammed Arm9Loader to essentially load from the SD and we've reprogrammed homemenu to have region free.
2. Boot into TWL_Firm with a CIA app that's hooked onto NAND and load games from that- we would only have to program the app to give directions or some sort of commands while the TWL_Firm is running (we've reprogrammed a CFW to give directions to homemenu and system settings with the Rei character in the top screen)
So what are your thoughts? Remember- this is not a yes or no situation. If you haven't read the rules in the intro- I'd read them now.
As I know, ARM11 has no direct SD access, only arm9 doesARM11 is not used much in TWL_FIRM, mostly for screen scaling and adjusting touch positions, so theoretically the ARM11 can redirect cartridge reads/writes to SD Card.
Maybe eventually, but this is much more complex than anything done previously with CFW. The most complicated thing with CFW right now is emuNAND, the rest are just simple memory patches. Not counting NTR-CFW, which is pretty complex. cell9 could probably accomplish this, but he is anti-piracy.Could someone like Apache Thunder and some others figure it out?

I wish it were that simple
