Homebrew What is the best NES Emulator for the DS?

[mrgone]

Yeah, nesDS. I'm using an old version before it had savestates (rewind/fast-forward only), and it still works perfectly for my purposes.

me too

nesDS has savestates ? time to upgrade...

What is a savestate?

What is a savestate?

A copy of the memory. If it's restored the game will return to the exact same point as where it was saved.

Grrr, I do all you say, DanTheManMS, it works, but then says "No ROMS found"

Which should not be, since all the ROMS are in the folder with nesDS in it.

 

[DanTheManMS]

You still never told us what device you're using.

 

[CrvyloOo]

Oh, I'm sorry, I use the Datel Max Media Dock.

That might be the issue then. The MMD is kinda picky about homebrew. However, I have a few things you can try:
1. Make sure your card is not corrupted. Worst case, you can copy all your data from your card, reformat, then copy it all back.
2. Make sure you're getting the very latest version from the official NES DS website. http://www.cs.utah.edu/~tew/nesDS/
3. Try patching with both the MMD's DLDI file and the MMP's DLDI file. nesDS.nds can only hold one DLDI file, so you may wish to make a copy of it so you can have two separate files that are each patched differently. DLDIrc should have both of these files built-in, though you'll have to reinstall it if you didn't pick both the first time around.

That should at least get you to the file browser point.

Never mind, I got it all to work now. Thanks for all your help

If I may ask, what was the solution? If it was something strange, it would be good to know so I can diagnose the problem faster in the future.

Oh, the problem was, when installing the DLDI patchy-thing, i chose the wrong flashcart. Once i patched it correctly, it worked perfect.
