ROM Hack homebrew DLDI patching problems

[charpsp20]

Okay so i intalled the right click patcher and i have the r4/m3 simply patch. Ive tried to patch ds organize and phidias. Problem is, the patcher won't run. I double click, it comes, and then closes before it patches anything.


If i try to run a gba through it I get this: 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Renaming .gba to .nds press any key to continue...

What's wrong????!

Run it through the command line.

Or get the GUI version.

okay, sorry im not a coder. whats a command line or a GUI? You mean the run option from the start menu? I dont think that one works either. I believe i have the original DLDI patcher by chism but that doesnt boot either.

you don't have to be a coder!

If you have windows, go to Start --> Run, and open CMD.

otherwise, just use the GUI versions that are out there.

okay the GUI program works!

Thanks guys. I do have a question tho; does NDS homebrew need to be patched if using a slot 2 solution? currently i have both M3 perfect and lite but was just curious. Also, would this patch help the m3 nds dumper tool to work without flashing my DS?

DLDI homebrew needs to be patched for any card, SLot-1 or Slot-2

Depends which m3 dumper. (You need an m3 CF I think)

And I don't understand why people don't want to flash their DS. It takes 30 seconds, give you brick-protection and real passme code at the press of a button...

Well its just i dont want to brick my old DS. Anyways i really want to dump my own ds games bad, so ill probably do it. So i guess the steps then are to flash the ds, patch the m3 dumper with dldi, and then use the m3 CF? I dont have an m3 CF but i do own a supercard CF. Im guessing that'll work if i use the supercard software as well?

M3 dumper won't work with SC.

 

[charpsp20]

Any nds dumper that will? Since im going flash my old ds anyway, how bout fwnitro?
