Hacking can't get ds games to work

[vart]

i have g6flash 3rd generation and a passkey2


ive been able to play every gba game ive tried, but when i load an nds game the little green clock thingy will fill up and then freeze there.



ive been playing with it for hours trying to figure this out, with no luck. im pretty sure i have all the newest updates and everything, is there a certain order im supposed to install everything? or does the ds game im using in my passkey2 have to be sometihn else? ive tried mario 64 ds and wario ware

You should get a passcard or flash your ds.

You should get a passcard or flash your ds.

That is irrelevant. Once he gets to the main menu, the method of boot up has nothing to do with whether or not games load.

All I was saying that he should get a passcard, which is not that expensive, so that he won't have to deal with the problem. Instead of commenting to my reply, you should try and help him with his problem. By the way the G6 has two modes: the GBA that plays gba games that does not require a passme device and a NDS mode that plays DS games, that needs a passme device or a flashed DS.

There was no problem with the passkey2. Once he's in the menu, it does not matter what he used. The point of the post has nothing to do with booting up. It has to do with loading a game. As per your post, original poster does have a passme device. Even if he gets a passcard, the same problem would exist.

All that can be said is to make sure you're patching the games properly with the game manager.

thanks for all your help both of you


i flashed my ds before i could read the other replies. sure it didnt fix my problem but it is pretty nice.

so the problem must be in the way i patch the games right?

the problem is ive been using this m3 wiki

i read somewhere that you just substitute dofat for 4xDMA and so on. am i wrong?

is there a compatibility list for g6?

First off, make sure you are using the most recent firmware and manager. I've heard reports that using a new manager with older firmware will cause this sort of problem.

When patching games with the U-disk manager always turn on force r/w if it's available, regardless of the read method you use. Try dofat first, if that doesn't work try safe mode. Soft reset will break a small percentage of games, so don't turn it on unless you actually want to use it.

ok so how do i know what firmware i have on it?

i downloaded the G6 Full Installation Package V4.6D which included English 4.6C

is that just the manager?

how do i upgrade the firmware?

thanks

call me a pain in the ace

 

[vart]

i already did the g6 update from the gba menu if thats what does it

 

[Farami9]

G6 Full Installation Package V4.6D which included English 4.6C is the complete manager NO need to upgrade the firmware thats all you need... Try that now

If you've updated properly in the GBA mode to the latest loader and using the latest patching program, there are some methods you can try:

1) Try safe mode to see if some of those games will boot instead of DOFAT.

2) Try using the master reset code when the green text comes up at the beginning of GBA mode (I think it's L/R/Start/Select if I remember correctly).

3) Check the validity of your roms against a dupecheck database, visit www.advanscene.com and make sure your rom's CRC32 matches up with the database to make sure you got good roms.
