And how did I achieve this on my DS Lite ? :wacko::blink:
How about Download Play?
==============

I have the problem that dumping GBA games does not work when starting GodMode9i from Wood (R4i Gold 3DS and AceKard 2i). I get no options when pressing (A) on GBA GAMECART although the presence of the game is acknowledged with removal of [x] when inserting GBA game.
When doing this:
  • Turn of DS-Lite, start flashcart (Wood)
  • Start TWiLight Menu++ from Wood
  • Start GodMode9i from TWL++
dumping GBA carts works perfectly. I tried all sorts of options and settings in Wood. No good.

Hello.:)

Maybe I am too dumb and stupid....how please ?
I never used TWilight an other Way than on an Flashcart on the DS Lite.And I have unfortunately no Idea how else I can use Homebrew on the DS Lite.

Excuse me,I do not understand how this should work....:sad:

Thank you for your Understanding and your Patience.

Well… not the complete TWL++. That won't work.

You can upload simple homebrew (and official demo ROMs) right to any DS system with wii-ds-rom-sender. It works for starting GodMode9i – but I was not able to mount flashcart micro-SD, not even on AceKard 2i where this works when loading the file manager from unlaunch or from TWL++.

It's worth a try what happens with a GBA flashcart (which I still do not have).

Since your DS-Lite has FlashMe you can just upload any DS-ROM up to 4MB (RAM limit). Without FlashMe you need Haxxstation (everything explained in the readme.md)

v2.1.1: DS-mode bug fix release

Bug fixes
  • Fixed green smiley faces appearing, instead of a green border.
  • Fixed DS game dumping being shown on Slot-1 flashcards.

The Smiley Feature is gone.:D


The R4 Flashcart Unmounting/Remounting works perfect.
:yay:


After Unmounting the Flashcart it does not detect the Gamecarts (Up/Brain Training/Führerschein Trainer)

- R4 and EZ Flash attached
- boot Godmode9i via TWiLight
- unmount R4 Flashcart
- detach the R4 Flashcart
. attach the Gamecart - DS Lite freezes

(I have tried it on 2 additional DS Lite Devices,without FlashME,same Issue)

Second Try:

- EZ Flash attached
- R4 removed
- booted Godmode9i via Download Play
- Gamecarts (Up/Brain Training/Führerschein Trainer) not detected
- R4 Remount not possible.

(....after that Day you can let me take you to the Lunatic Asylum....:rofl2:).

Thank you.:)

Do you maybe need to do a special DLDI patch for the Slot-2 card to work? Like described in this old tutorial for NDS Backup Tool: How to backup your games using any slot 2 and slot 1 cards combination.

The DLDI header says "EZ Flash 4 (SD Card)", though you can try if it works.

Unfortunately it did not worked.....

I followed the Steps from @migles and run the Tool from within TWiLight or Directly from another R4 Flashcart with YSMenu.

TWiLight:

- Tool starts
- Removed R4 Flashcart and inserted a Gamecart
- choosed "Rom Backup"
- freezes..

R4 YSMenu:

- Tool starts
- Removed R4 Flashcart and inserted a Gamecart
- freezes..

Can you try GM9i with the DLDI patch instead?
If it can at least access the Slot-2 flashcard's microSD card, then the driver works.

Both screenshots say "Slot-2 Cartridge : [ TTIO ]" which I assume TTIO would be the R4 not the EZ flash, though it does say Slot-2... Did you skip the part about preventing the patch from being overridden / maybe modern flashcards are still able to patch it? :unsure:

No Step was skipped,it says "Use the NO/YES Patch in any Case".:)

You maybe correct with the Patch,but when I do it the other Way,the same happens like on Godmode9i,it freezes:

I think the DLDi Patch ist not working (correct) because of the SD Card Modell.(Maybe limited to 2 GB...)
i will search for one and report back....:)
