Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

Mate, how did you decompress the arm9.bin of the games. Can you PM me explaining...it's because i can't make EFE work.

Just used EFE. Open the nds file, go to code tab, Export Decompressed, then save the arm9.bin somewhere. GO to Replace, point to the arm9.bin you just saved and then click in save. Thats it.

But i can't open EFE. Visual Basic or something like that is needed on the pc?

You'll need the LibEveryFileExplorer.dll with the exe. Just extract all the zip into a folder.

 

[Gericom]

He probably forgot to UNBLOCK THE ZIP from external sources before unpacking.

And the fact that it shouldn't be required anymore

Thank you mate. EFE is working. I will try some roms with this.

You don't need EFE anymore, bootstrap alreally handles arm9 descompression.

Can't wait to play all my roms again! I hated using my dstwo because it drained my battery so bad

 

[sieroi]

I can't believe it's actually happening. Even the load speed issue stays a significant factor, it's a spectacular achievement.

idk, tested with professor layton curious village and bootstrap can only open the arm9 decompressed rom. I'll try again...

Use this version of the bootstrap, it doesn't need manual arm9 decompression anymore as it's built in

The first DS roms can now be booted from the SD card, but they're very few and don't work quite right.

Euro version of Bust-A-Move DS works until you choose what kind of Puzzle you want...then...black screen

Did a new commit happen can some one compile the new version of the bootstrap

 

[AntnioMoura]

Did something change on that commit? And why compile a new version everytime something change? It could be just a little thing...

Heres a build of the latest commit

there is no point really for tiny changes, people are just eager to see if there more game compatibility changes.

I hope there's a way to change the awful filter they use (I think it's bicubic) to bilinear, or the same one that's used for GBA VC. Would improve image quality a lot.

I run the bootstrap.nds through twloader and i get a black screen. What else should i do?

You're supposed to replace the NDS bootstrap in the "_nds" folder with the updated one, then put your ROMs in the "nds" folder.
