Hacking Patching

[Falkentyne]

Always wanted to ask:

Why do NDS dumps require patching in order to run in the G6/L ? Even your own dumps?

gotta tell where the game is located

Sorry if I'm being dense, but what do you mean by "where it's located?".
If you copy the raw dump directly to the NDS folder, it sees everything there...

I made a raw dump of my castlevania dos cart, and it wouldn't run until I copied it over using the manager....

the game isnt run from the ds slot, so it needs some routines patched so it will work from the gba slot.

we will have to wait for a flash card that goes into the ds slot to play raw dumps

Ah that makes perfect sense now.

Why don't any flash cards use the DS slot currently, if that's a problem ? Is it because of some sort of protection? Or the GBA slot is a lot easier to work with ?

Protection has been broken already (see Neo brand adapters), the reason is the latter.
