Hacking Help on the cyclods!! PLEASE!!!

[ELVENLADY1]

I need some some help with the cyclods. I plug in my micro sd card and download my roms, but they won't show up on my cyclo. I just got it, so I
have no clue what to do about it. Can someone give me some help?

Did you upgrade your firmware? Are your roms on the root of your micro SD card. It could be many different problems. Could you elaborate a little bit more please? I'd love to help you

 

[wilddenim]

Did you put them in Cyclo Folder? Like I did when I got mine.

That was wrong, we are meant to put them in the root, next to the cycloDS folder.

 

[ELVENLADY1]

Thanks. Well, like I said I'm not really sure about the cyclo yet because I just got it. When I plug in my micro sd card, it asks me if I want to view my files. I click yes and it shows that my roms are in the cyclo folder. So I unplug it, put my micro sd card in the cyclo, and check it, but the cyclo says there are no games. I have the cyclo ds evolution, and I've downloaded pokemon mystery dungeon and Keshui Tendo Dokuta, but they just wont show up. And I'm not sure whether I should save or open the file. And if I do save it, do I save it in my cyclo folder, or make a new one. Please help!

sorry so long...

Next time you should post stuff like this in the Cyclo support forum or the Cyclo board in the NDS Flashing Devices forum.

You don't need to put it in any folders. Just the root of the MicroSD is fine. Make sure the ROMs are .nds files, you can't put .zip or .rar directly on the card.

 

[ELVENLADY1]

thanks again, but what do I do if they are zip. or rar. files? i checked and thats what they were..

 

[wilddenim]

Ah... They need to be a .nds file. I take it you are not an expert on computing?

1. download a rom
2. Extract the rom. (WinRAR is the best for this)
3. If the folder you just extract show a file with .nds in the end then put that file in the root of the Cyclods (NOT THE CYCLO FOLDER).
4. Insert the CycloDS in your DS. It should show the game.

If you want more help ask me. I'll be more than happy

Use snemulds an emulator, but the compatibility is kinda crappy with graphical hiccups

 

[DeMoN]

Yeah, just don't bother with SNES emulation.

 

[ELVENLADY1]

Thanks for the help!!! Soo happy!x

 

[wilddenim]

I'd suggest to leave SNES roms until you master the ROM stuff on Cyclo. They are much more difficult to use and master than NDS roms.

You got it to work?

 

[ELVENLADY1]

I think I got it...

I'll post more after I make sure

 

[ELVENLADY1]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT WORKS!!! Thank you all for all of your help!! Now, time to go get some roms!!!!!!!!

 

[ELVENLADY1]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!!!! Thank you all SOO much for your great help! Now, I'm off to download roms!

 

[wilddenim]

Great!! Glad it worked for you.

In some roms, you need to extract twice. Just extract the zip you just download, then open the extracted folder then extract one with zip INSIDE the folder you just extracted.

I know it can be confusing.

 

[DeMoN]

It's not that confusing, just make sure whatever ROMs you're transferring are .nds files.
And having to extract twice? Never encountered that before.

 

[wilddenim]

Really? I get that every time I downloaded from a rom site ever since they changed it making a zip folder inside a zip folder.
