Hello everyone,

I have download the newly compiled DS Doom with the G6 fat lib and read the website for install directions. (I am using the shareware doom wad file for the doom.wad)

Following the directions from the site, I opened up my G6 in the explorer view and copied doom.wad, prboom.wad and prboom.cfg to the root directory of the card. I then wrote the doom.nds using the "Direct Copy" option using the Game Manager. When starting DS Doom, it brings up two black screens and the bottom screen shows one line of white text reading "Survivde graphics init" and then freezes. I have seen one other post with this error.

I also noted that a different game on my cart crashed when I had the doom files in the root directory, but worked correctly once they were removed.

Thanks in advance for any tips or tricks to try! I can't wait to get this working.

Cheers,
Tom

It is working fine for me... Here is what I did:

1) Downloaded the pre-compiled .7z archive here
2) Copied the following files to the root directory on the cart (No need for U-Disk Manager):
Code:
Doom.nds
PRBOOM.CFG
prboom.wad
doom.wad (Not available in the above archive)
3) Booted up G6 > "MyCard" Menu > Run "Doom.ds" (No header)
4) (Done)

I am not sure if it matters, but I am using the English V4.4 Loader.

Thats 1 way, to get the Doom.nds file on ur game select screen, use the G6 U-Disk Manager and patch Doom.nds using the 'direct copy' option

gr33dy: Are you using the full version iwad or the shareware one? I did exactly the same thing you did with the shareware iwad and it doesn't work.

I'm using 4.6c, but hopefully that isn't the problem.



mr_blonde_88: Have you gotten this working?

Great. Using the exact same files and the exact same firmware we're getting different results.

ok, so u copyd both wad files and the config file to the root, then using the G6 U-Disc manager, put the .nds file on ur card, only using the 'direct copy' feature, no rom trim, no soft reset?

I've tried that, I tried just copying everything to the root directory, I tried most combinations of settings in the U-disk manager, I tried loading it with the U-disk manager and putting the wads & cfg in the NDS folder, I tried putting everything in a folder named 'doom', I even tried deleting the other file I had in the root directory so that there was nothing but the doom files.

It just doesn't work.

and ur sure both the UDisk and the firmware and 4.6c?

U got a DS or DS lite?

And in my root, i only have NDS, GBA, EMU & BACKUP folders

Udisk & firmware 4.6c. DS lite. In my root I have NDS, GBA & pdaDS.

I'm starting to think that there may be more than one version of the G6 lite hardware, and this doesn't work with all versions.

What kind of pass devices are you guys using? As for me, it doesn't work, I am using a Passcard 3 with a NDS Lite. I hope that there isn't more than one version of the G6 4Gbit....

Passcard 3

That is very strange it is not working for you guys... Are you getting the same error as the OP? I did exactly what I listed in my first post, and it is working perfectly.

I'm also using a passcard 3, but if the G6 starts up in NDS mode it shouldn't make a difference if you're using a passme, nopass or flashme. And yes, same error. Survived graphics init, but not whatever comes next.
