Hacking R4 autoboot question

[Cliffius]

Can the R4 autoboot into the last rom that was loaded, bypassing the menu?

 

[greyhound]

no, it would be a useful option to have though.

The fastest way you could boot a file a your choice would be to take advanage of the provided moonshell shortcut in the menu (replace rename moonshell nds file with the game you are currently playing)

That only works with homebrew. Commercial games won't load if you try to start them that way.

actually you CAN place a rom in the root, and name it bootme.nds
It'll boot automatically, unless you hold B as the ds starts.

Cyclo DS has autoboot.

So does R4, just name the game to DEAFUALT.NDS all in uppercase and place it in the root, however it will not automatically run the last played game.

That used to be the case but it was changed in firmware 1.08 AFAIK.

Version 1.4 renamed ROM to DEFAULT.NDS and it autobooted.

I didn't know that. In what kernel did they add this?

 

[Destructobot]

1.08

 

[DarkAura]

Wow I missed out then. I didn't even know.

It's default.nds? I thought it was bootme.nds...

Bootme.nds is for the Max Media Dock.

Interesting thing, but not too much cause of renaming the rom...

 

[zeppo]

it's not that hard. besides, are you going to be switching between roms for autoboot that often?
