ROM Hack Patch DS game carts

[666nyan666]

Is it possible to run patches for DS games when played off of their retail cartridges? I'm using Luma CFW on a New 2DS XL.

It's called a ROM for a reason

Don't want to use ROMs. I'd rather play my games using original carts/discs whenever it is possible.

The cart is a ROM = Read Only Memory

No but you can dump the rom yourself with gm9 and play it on your 2DS with twilight menu

I am pretty sure you can, it just hasn't been done before. If you take a look at nitrohax it loads the executable off of a cart and patches a cheat handler into it. There is no reason this can't be extended for more general patches or more complex modifications.

D-pad controls in the DS Zelda games is the first one that comes to mind.

That's patching the rom dump not cart ROM

I want to run the xdelta patch in tandem with the retail cart. I know Luma offers patching for 3DS games.

ya, but thats for 3ds native firm mode......Not twl firm mode. It is rather different and possibly difficult to do what youre wanting to do.

If it's overly complicated/unfeasible, I'll just give up and bust out my DS flash cart. I just thought I'd see if it was an option that was available.

I think this would probably be the easiest method to accomplish what you are trying to do.
