noalt means regular 1.9.4, right?
Someone in this thread told use to use alt for better performance.

Both regular and alt will work just the same.

Yeah, just the regular build. I should probably try the alt build but that's just what I had installed at the time.

OMG, NTR launcher actually makes RaymanDS playable, it was a sluggish mess before. The audio is still midi's in comparison to other versions, but it's pretty much the same like Rayman3D's framerate on O3ds. it's set to the max framerate unless there is too much on the screen.

Can I also use this with my soft reset? is there any precaution I should have while having TWL clock speeds enabled?

Not sure I understand.

It's safe, don't worry about it.

aka, the button combo (usually L+R+A+B+X+Y) that takes you back to the flashcard's menu.

Give it a shot, what's the worst that could happen?

I rather not, I once bricked my friends DSlite by trying out the 3DSmode of his woodr4 enabled card. I figured it would just error out or something, but no. It somehow fried his firmware.
So yeah.

Huh, that's pretty unexpected.
Though, it is known that the old DS models can be bricked in software.
What exactly do you mean by the 3DS mode?

Inside his wood r4 enabled flashcard, there was an option in the menu that said 3DS mode. I don't know which modified version of wood was that, but it killed his firmware. Luckily he had a spare DSlite mobo lying around from a broken DS and just switched them. I was planning to pay up his replacement and everything, I admit that was a stupid move from my part.

Oh I see, maybe it was the DS Profile exploit. In which case yeah it's not unexpected that it would brick a DS profile, since the firmware crashes and burns if the profile settings are invalid.

I don't think that ever got integrated into a flashcart fw...
and the ropbinchains use to be in .nds format

Didn't gateway's old blue card have it pseudo-integrated in the flashcard firmware? I can't say after having never owned one.
But if you really want me to solve this mystery I could try installing a profile ropchain to my Flashme DS Lite and seeing if that bricks it

I don't think it's worthy to risk your Lite over a n00by mistake i made nearly two years ago XD

I made an nds-bootstrap compatibility list. You can add retail (will be supported in the future), homebrew, and download play ROMs to the list.

I was going to suggest this, it would have become a bloated mess if the list got bigger and mixed up. either that or adding another column for nds bootstrap.

like nds bootstrap - ntr launcher - ntr launcher alt. then where you put the version, that box would have the color greem/yellow/red. Seems better to me as for order.

Added a sheet for homebrew ROMs.

NesDS (2007) and NesDS 1.3c (2016) aren't perfect. The sound is bad for fome reason. But nifi works perfectly!

They weren't perfect to begin with, you have to reset the sound to have good audio quality...

You're right! Thanks for the info!

No problem, I've had that same problem during testing
