EZ Flash Parallel autoboot

[enpeaphor]

Does anyone know if it's possible to autoboot a specific, or even just the last used, .nds file when using the EZ Flash Parallel?

if it's just using wood as the base, then you can probably add autorunWithLastRom = 1 to the .ini (and hopefully lastsave.ini will be automatically created after you run something)

I did give that a try with no luck.
Also tried renaming .nds ROMs to default.nds/bootme.nds

ok, I guess we're out of luck there

but depending on what you're trying to do, you might be in luck because flashcard bootstrap supports ezflash parallel

https://github.com/lifehackerhansol/flashcard-bootstrap/releases/tag/v2.2.0

put the ezds.dat from that zip on the root of your microsd card, and put whichever rom you want to autoboot as boot.nds, also on root of the card

note it will not work with actual game roms though, only homebrew. I dont know if it might be possible to get ntr forwarder to work as a regular rom on a flashcart, to chain load nds bootstrap and run a game that way. but ez flash parallel might be too crappy to be able to run nds bootstrap like this. it's extremely slow though so card reads might be too slow for games to work

anyway, even if ntr forwarder could work like this on a flashcart, nds bootstrap itself can't work on ezflash parallel currently. but you can probably subscribe to this github issue to be notified if this is ever fixed

Much appreciated for the detail. I'll keep an eye on that.
