Newest game on nsz format in past 30 day 99% of them seems able to run on old 10.2.0 sx os emunand

crysis 2
dying light
etc

They all do work

But I do got two of game unble to start
Carrion ( nsz this game released 1 years old )
Murder house (nsp released 10 days ago )
I think the original source that prove these two game
They forgot edit SDK version in game file ( or maybe the game itself they require SDK firmware higher than 10.2.0? You can't edit it?!)
====================

The question is since I got 10.2.0 cfw
And Im not going to update anyway.

How I work around this?
Should I try rebuild SDK version in these 2 game?
Will it work?

Payload injector
if you are using emuMMC.
Firmware version (on you sysNAND and EmuMMC)

You need to download patches in order to launch backups. Download them from this GBATemp thread.

Well Hello,

I will suggest you to install the game again may in the first time you download the game may be you have missed some important file
So try to re-install the game or check if your system is capable of running that game

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah it works great but it's the obvious Ds factor you loose from it it's not like playing atari games on atari because Nintendo actually use to give a reason to buy their hardware

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly Ken I actually have the hardware and it's hacked and works fine, prefer my phone lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Microphone is more sensitive, DraStic has a high res mode, screen is way better just overall a better experience
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I just like game consoles how they were intended to play if they have a unique enough reason to buy them anything else yeah just download emulation for it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh and touch screen infinity better lol
