Doesn't work with my EZ-Flash Vi card. Tried both versions and got an eternal white screen. :( Do I need to patch it first or did I miss anything else?

Wait, Cave Story was decompiled to source code? Is that why I keep seeing it for free everywhere on every platform, eventhough the game costs money?

That is what the previous posts would suggest, yes.

The version from Nicalis that costs money uses a different codebase. The original version that has been decompiled was always free.

You might need to launch it with either nds-hb-menu or TWiLight Menu++.
These homebrew menus don't work either - same issue. I think I'm encountering that white screen problem which is common for EZ-Flash Vi cards in conjunction with homebrew software.
