Hello. I hope someone can help me with my problem.
I created the file 'heretic.DS.gba' with the tool provided by the author (obviously using full heretic wad, without BGM) and I inserted it in my gba flashcart (Supercard).

1) If I start the game as it is directly from DS slot2, it doesn't work. It turns out 2 black screens.

2) If I start it from slot2 launched via ysmenu (start + y, passme function), 'Supercard' text appears on the lower screen, the Supercard menu appears, I launch the game but there are still 2 black screens.

3) If I first pass the .ds.gba file into the Supercard software (obviously on a pc) and then start directly from slot2 I have the same result.

4) If I launch this file (passed in the Supercard software) as in point 2) (via ysmenu + passme function) I always have the same result, black screens.

In short, would someone be able to kindly tell me how to make this old heretic port work nowadays, since even with supercard + passme function it does not start?
Has anyone actually, concretely (not just theoretically) managed to make it work?
Isn't there an alternative method to launch it?
It is a pity that an old, classic fps cannot be enjoyed on DS nowdays.
I thank anyone interested in the subject and that could help me.
 
Since no one has responded to my question, I would like to repeat my request, in the hope that it will not fall on deaf ears again.
Is it possible that no one is interested, or has already managed, to play Heretic, one of the first classic, addicting FPS for dos, on DS consoles?
I'm not repeating, but i confirm, what I already said clearly in the first post: would anyone be able to explain to me precisely how to start an old .nds.gba file (a ds game from slot2) in a different way from how I have already described in the previous 4 points? If it worked in the past, why shouldn't this port work nowadays too?
 
I know that my answer is not very useful to you but like you I have never managed to get DS Heretic to work, the only way I have found to play Heretic and Hexen correctly on my DS Lite is with my DSTwo + supercard in installing DSTWO Linux Beta1.0 and Hheretic
