nds-bootstrap loader: Run commercial NDS backups from an SD Card

RocketRobz · Dec 12, 2018

nds-bootstrap v0.13.0: BIS IS FIXED!!!!
(released by @shutterbug2000)

What's new?

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story finally works!
Note that you will need to AP-patch the game, if not already, or else you won't be able to select a save/start a new game.

Bug fix

Black screen crash in Super Mario Endless Earth, and some other NSMB ROM hacks, is fixed. (from v0.12.4)

@Robz8 thanks for the new release...
Just want to ask, will it be possible for nds bootstrap to soft patch the rom (game and ap patch file are separate files on sd card but patch will automatically applied upon loading a rom) rather than hard patching/injecting the patch directly into the rom?

Thanks...

Pretty sure it's possible.

Wow, will be waiting for that... Atleast the rom will preserve its freshness/integrity in that matter...

These are the only games that changed?

@Robz8 There is a pot glitch in BiS, but with patch that I've developed it is displayed correctly: https://www.file-upload.com/skrszw6dw79e - maybe it will help with the debugging. That patch makes sure that save screen doesn't become frozen, cannot guarantee that it patches any other AP measures.

Can i add it on github issue?

kinder_bueno · Dec 13, 2018

@noctis90210 there is already the issue for this https://github.com/ahezard/nds-bootstrap/issues/158

Aw sweet, I gotta try this when I get back home. I tried playing BIS and ran into the pot and graphical glitches, and that one black loading screen that's stuck

In previous versions of bootstrap custom robo arena worked fine but for some reason when you play it now if you don't have a save file and make one you just start off at the house and you cannot talk or interact with anything if you try to leave you mom tells you to sit at the table but if you do nothing happens. Does anyone know why?

Might be an antipiracy issue? Try finding a patch or make sure you're booting the game with a DS cart in the cartridge slot.

Custom robo has no anti piracy and I got spirit tracks in the slot.

nds-bootstrap v0.14.0 RC1

What's new?

NDMA is now utilized more for SD reads. Saves the arm7 CPU from overhead.
Fixes most overworld lags in Pokemon B2W2, and sound pauses during loading in some thumb games.

Bug fixes

Sound issues, such as pops and crackles, are seemingly fixed.
Fixed crashing in some games.

Regression

Some games, mostly thumb ones (such as GTA:CW), may load slower than usual.

While I appreciate the effort, you put this behind 35 ad walls and two different browsers refuses to download it because it thinks it's unsafe.

Can you or someone else upload this to a simpler, safer site please?

What is "NDMA"?

New DMA (Direct Memory Access).
It is used in DSiWare games for SD/NAND access.

Is there a reason Pac'n Roll doesn't detect the save file? The game stalls after the splash screen.

Likely the save functions aren't patched for that game.
