First, this is in homebrew because it involved taking a file from a DS card with only a 3ds. Ok, so I have been wondering this, can you turn a .nds to a .tmd file? I want to know this because I want to be able to run my DS games on my SD card without a flashcart, TWLoader, Twilight, ect. In all, Can you turn a .nds to a .tmd so you can convert to a CIA with godmode9 1.8.0, to run it on the home menu?

They won´t run that way, DS games are supposedly cartridge only since even if you run them from the SD card the game will try to read its data from the cartridge slot, Twilightmenu++ and nds-boostrap do something about this and thats why they work(but don't expect perfect compatibility)...anyway if you want to run nds games from the SD card and view their icons on the home menu install twilight menu ++ and use nds forwarder for each game

If it was possible to "convert" Nintendo DS games into an installable format that worked, it would have been done a long time ago. Unfortunately, special loaders like nds-bootstrap are required to make these work without a cartridge, as these games expect to be run from one.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
