nds-bootstrap:

Thanks to the work of ahezard, Gericom, Apache, Robz8, _catcatcat, and shutterbug2000 and other contributors, we can now load NDS games from the SD card, without any flashcard/SLOT-1 card.

Don't expect high compatibility, but do expect many, many updates.

Does this boot DSi enhanced games like Pokemon White in DS or DSi mode?

In the settings, you can change it to run in DSi mode if you want that.

But the game/rom must have DSi binaries

How exactly do you load this? I've installed Twilight Menu and Unlaunch on my DSi. It's supposed to be included with Twilight Menu but doesn't display in the menu. Trying to launch it directly from Unlaunch gives me either a power off or white screen depending on which file I select.

Put your Pokémon white game ROM in the NDS folder in your SD card.

Once Twilight Menu loads, navigate to that folder. roms/nds in this case

you should see the Pokémon white icon. Click A button to load it or Y to go to settings to change it to run in DSi mode
