thanks i'll try that later tonight when i get a chance to (sisters playing mario kart now). i',m using the homebrew channel by hibou (i think thats who its by)at the moment so it could be that. also the file i downloaded was already converted to elf but i tried the original one before that was a dol and converted it to elf and it didn't work but i assumed it's cause i didn't convert properly. well see what happens with SDLoad though.
