Hacking .nds without TWLoader

[Aladie]

A year ago I installed cfw on my 3ds(luma/boot9strap) and I installed a ds game to the NAND and it runs fine without this stupid TWLoader, but the problem is I forgot how I did this and now I am stuck with this stupid TWLoader. Could anyone please tell me the solution how I did this?

Are you sure you didn't installed DSi game?

The only Ds games that can be installed to Nand are DSiWare games. It's possible you installed a forwarder .CIA.

TWLoader is an magnificent achievement and works and looks brilliant if you don't like it buy yourself a cheap R4 and move on.

I think an NDS wrapper/injector for NDS-to-DSi games would be cool. You'd also get the added benefit of DSi-mode NDS games, in theory. Like a VC injection for NDS ROMs.

What game did you install? It's probably a DSiWare game, which does install just fine.

There are ds forwarders for 3ds, but they still use TWLoader, Thats the only way.

Was the game Wario Ware Touched by any chance? To my knowledge, that's the only DS game that was ported to DSiWare.

Actually you can install .nds files on nand, but only homebrews and you need to convert then to cia.

 

[SCOTT0852]

Wait really? Where did you find that out? I've never heard of that before.

Don't be hating on TWLoader, it allows me to play NDS games using my crappy flash cart from like 2008.

I installed Plants vs Zombies

Is it possible to play DS games this way that wouldnt work with TWLoader?

I installed Plants vs Zombies

Plants vs Zonbies is a DSiWare and if you think that twloader is stupid maybe you can make a better program.

Also the Japanese version of some Advance Wars

Commercial games, not really - most of them are programmed (whether by "accident" = compiler limitations, or malice) to be only able to read from slot-1, and the main purpose of nds-bootstrap is to try to work around this limitation
There are some exceptions but the only ones I know of are actually the opposite case, a handful of DSiwarez that work from an iEvolution

only homebrew games, not retail games

That explains it. It's a DSiWare so it can be installed to NAND, unlike any non-DSiWare app.

I read somewhere that implementing that would be really hard since the game would have to be specifically reprogrammed so that it knows to access its code from the SD instead of the DS cart
