that's very weird. It should work anyway.
What Fw are you on?

Bc on 11.0.1 crashes all the time
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

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).

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.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.

    But you still don't know what it was?
