Homebrew RELEASE melonDS for Switch — continuation

[Hakata]

does it freeze immediately or only when entering a folder with roms in it?

When entering a folder with roms. Something wrong with those roms? I am sure they could be running on the previous release.

so the problem was too many roms in one directory? Can you tell me the exact number?

that's very weird. It should work anyway.

it works fine on 11.0.1, that's what I'm developing it on. The firmware version shouldn't make a difference (unless it's a very old one). When exactly does it crash for you?

• Download the latest release from here: https://github.com/RSDuck/melonDS/releases
  
• Extract the release onto your sd card, so that there's /switch/melonds folder melonds.nro and some other files inside it.
• NAND, BIOS and firmware files go into /switch/melonds as well
• ROM files can be placed anywhere on the sd card

For DSi mode the following files are necessary (in parantheses is how they should be named for melonDS to recognises them):

• DSi ARM9 BIOS (biosdsi9.rom)
• DSi ARM7 BIOS (biosdsi7.rom)
• DSi mode firmware (firmware_dsi.bin)
• NAND dump (nand.bin)

I'm on FW11.0.1, I followed the steps you have shared above.
it crashed when I clicked the melonds.nro at the homebrew menu

ps: I have the exact naming for the BIOS, firmware and NAND

do you use the album to get into the hbmenu?

Same thing here, FW 11.0.1 on Atmosphere 0.17.1

do you use the album to get into the hbmenu?

From my side, that's how I access hbmenu

don't do that, use title injection. Press L or R while starting a game from the Switch menu (I forgot what the default was) or whatever is the default (it can be changed in a config file).

Yes, I access the hbmenu through the 'album' icon.

Thanks for that, pressing and holding down R button while open any game worked for me!

Hi, do you mean by "pressing and holding down R button" to launch the melonds.nro at the hbmenu (access through 'album'), it works?

no by holding the R button while launching any game in the Switch's main menu to get into the hbmenu. From there one it's the usual.

Ok. now I got it. Include these details in the first thread?

it always said that:

Atmosphere title replacement to launch the hbmenu is the only supported method of running melonDS!

but I added further clarifications.
