Trust me, when you get it, it'll be VERY EASY. The instructions are just hard to read.

Also, there's an FAQ about it in this very same forum.

 

OK, i guess i gotta get it first!

I'm just really excited about getting it so i can play all of my favorite games that R4i cant even imagine playing

ah so i see, when i get the firmware, i just put it in that one folder and thats it?

 

sounds easy enough. im guessing i just download the emulator, put it in the plugin file, then download any roms i want, and then just boot the emu and choose the file?

 

yep. For instance, I have a NES folder for my NES roms and can boot NESds from the menu, pick a rom from my folder, and play.

 

OK, since i have roms down easily, what do i do if i download a hombrew such as super smash bros clash and all i get is a .nds file? do i need to worry about that?

Also, NDS and GBA games go in the folder dstwoplug?

 

Wait a minute, you need a homebrew loader dont you to load them up right? such as DSKiosk?

 

ah i see, so since GBA and NDS were designed to play on the DSTWO, they just go in the gampak folder.

Other games go in the dstwoplug with their emulators?

 

you can just create a folder in root of micro sd and put the games there

for example, if you have lameboy plugin..you can make a folder called GBC in root and put all the GBC roms in there

 

I have my DS games in a NDS folder. Anywhere you want. after picking a rom once, it will autofind that folder. So I don't have to manually select the NDS folder to see my Nds roms when I pick DS_Game from the menu. I have my GBA games in the NDSGBA/gamepak folder. (NDSGBA folder comes when you download the GBA plugin from the supercard site)
I haven't made a custom .bmp before, but I think you could make one if you looked it up, rename it SSBC.bmp or whatever (SSBC if that's the name of the nds rom). You could also maybe do it without a .bmp. I think you would need a .ini though. You could use a different .ini from a different plugin as an example and make your own for SSBC.
So once you put your SSBC.nds, SSBC.ini, and SSBC.bmp in the dstwoplug folder it should work.

 

only homebrew require them, no games for the NDS or any emulator need .ini and .bmp files

to get those files for homebrew see the list i linked to in my last post
