    Homebrew BlocksDS-Nix - Reproducible Nintendo DS Homebrew with Nix

    BlocksDS-Nix provides an easy-to-use, comprehensive Nix package for Nintendo DS development with BlocksDS.

    It shouldn't matter if the firmware says it is for XL or not. Most of those words are just put there by these bootleg companies to get more attention. Try using YSMenu (https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/) or TWiLightMenu++...
