So, when you mean "will crush after some time", you mean that I'll never could play again, or it'll freeze ?

EDIT: Do you plan to make a few ameliorated versions, with new features, like the Wood firmware ?

EDIT2: How do I set the alloc ? Because I see numbers, like 14 680 567 or else, and "malloc"

1. it freeze

2.i don't understand what you mean

3. use the up and down button. malloc is a sort of alloc

I mean, do you plan to make a fix version, with sound and bigger memory support or else ?

EDIT: Please help me ! I've downloaded the file, and I have hwspeedup.nds and arm9.nds, so I move them to my SD card, and when I try to enter hwspeedup.nds or arm9.nds, there are 3 sections or something like that:

-nitro/
-fat/
-sd/

And don't know what to do for alloc the size from 2mb to 3mb, and where ton install my game, or else ... PLEASE HELP !!

choose an option and press A. nitro is nitro fs the homebrew inside the nds. fat the flashcard sd fat, sd is dsi only

after that choose yor gba file and press A choose frameskip than alloc size use about 2MB than press start

For play my gba rom, I choose nitro or fat ?

EDIT: I tried Puzzle 15 and Golden Eye, but it freezes, I tried to malloc the minimum, but it still freeze ... (I tried on arm9.nds, but I can't find my pokemon rom)

Which flashcart do you own ?

I see ... it's a R4 with wood.

You should use the file hwspeedup.nds. The arm9.nds is supposed to be for the DSi mode which require a cycloDS iEvolution or the sudoku exploit and a Dsi (of course).

Ok, I'll see ... Holy f*** my Pokemon ROM's size is 16 mb ...

EDIT: still freezes, and I still can't find my Pokemon ROM. Can someone explain me how to use this homebrew, or if I need to compile files or else ? A little tutorial could be helpful

Is anyone having any luck using this with sudokuhax?
I get two black screens when booting it as boot.nds.
It seems to work when loaded from HBChannel, it lets me select a game (either from sd, or nitro) but freezes after selecting the malloc.

try to reduce the malloc size to 2 MB that may help.

ADD: Why dose the next malloc return 0x341 when i free small allocs?

is this a bug of the emulator or everywhere?

I tried to allocate the memory as you've done, but there's a 0, and it said "Failed to allocate memory for ROM"

I used 6 frameskip, and I tried on arm9.nds

Still don't know how to make it work ...

The file browser still consider a folder like a file. When i try to enter a folder it try to run it.

I tried both version in DSi mode (iEvo) with my iridium 3d dump.
The ARM9 version with frameskip set to 0 and malloc to 14680064 run at min 2 and max 4 fps and have no graphics problem.
The hwspeedup version with fps 60/11 and malloc to 14680064 run at min 4 and max 8 fps and have graphics problem like expected (todo work).
I don't know if you are trying to do an hypervisor with the hwspeedup version but it's the only way to go if you wish to have a good frame rate.
This version is promising. Keep up the good work ichichfly.

only half speed of the DSi mode and the max rom size is 2MB on DS

thanks for testing

i think hypervisor is not possible. I use some thumb patching and emulating. But that need time. In the arm9 Version this is nonsence since there the most time is needed for the graphics in hwspeedup it is possible since it use the hw for most things. cpu emulation eat 80% of the cpu power in hwspeedup.

1) Do I launch this via Flashcard
-2)If so then; will this only work with DSi-enhanced flashcards like Cylos?
-3)If not then; would I need to do the sudoku hack?
4)If all of the above are not true then; How do I launch this!?
