NEED HELP RUNNING DOOM & QUAKE

[Fryy]

I have tried and tried and tried to get this to work, and it wont!!!

I have an original NDS, I've tried putting quake (quakeDS) and doom (dsdoom) on it
neither will work, I've DLDI patched them, and I've put the correct ID1 and .wads in the root of the SD card
and none of it will work!!
when I boot up dsdoom it says "IWAD not found" what IWAD do I need?
when I boot up quakeDS it says something along the lines of "needs to be DLDI patched" not exactly that but something like that

also I have a blank nds flash cart, so I can't know which DLDI to use for it, is there anyway to tell? My dad bought it for me and he's away for the week so I can't ask him

if someone can provide me a tutorial or help me to get doom and quake on my cartridge that'd be great

Manually DLDI patching homebrew has become obsolete thanks to more modern kernels like Wood R4, TWL++, and many others which will automatically patch homebrew without having to manually do it yourself. It's only with the older stock kernels that you have to do it prior to transferring everything over to the microSD.

'IWAD' means 'internal WAD' which contains all of the complete data required to make the game work; this includes assets, sound effects, maps, music, etc. You can use either a shareware or registered version of DOOM, you'll need to specify the filename of the WAD at the top of the "PRBOOM.CFG" configuration file (explained here).
